FatO Of Annie Laurie.

The familiar song of Annie Lau-
rie," says the London Chronicle, was
written by a soldier in Flanders to
his ladylove at home. The writer was
William Douglas, and Annie Laurie
was one of the three daughters Of
Sir Robert Laurie of Maxwelton. Sad
to relate. Annie did not marry her
ardent lover. Some say that Douglas
was killed in Flanders, but whether
or not that is so, Annie was led to
the altar in 1903 by James Ferguson
of Craigdarroch.

silancA Pleasea Orator.

What a speaker likes best is not ap-
plause. It is silence. There are mo-
ments when to a speaker the silence
can be thrilling. Then he knows, as
we say, that he has" his audience. A
perfect relation has been established.
During those moments the thought is
passing rapidly from the speakers
mind into the minds Of the listeners,
and is taking effect. 1t may not al
ways be sympathetic effect. 1t may
even be hostile. Nevertheless, the
thought is at work.
