Met Sir Walter Scott.

The Rev. John Douglas. said to have
been the only living person In Amer
lea who had seen Sir Walter Scott
alive, died recently. He was ninety
four years old and had been a resident
of Minnesota for 80 years, says Min.
neapolis Tribune.
On his ninety-third birthday, Sept, IL,
1916, Mr. Douglas described in detail
his seeing the author Of the Waverly
novels in 1891. With his father. the
Minneapolis man was driving In an
old-fashloned, high-seated riekety gig
along road near Abbotsford. Scot
land. when "a funny-looklng little man
with queer Scotch bonnet on his head
and gnarlcd stick in his hand" hailed
them.
Mr.. Douglas father checked his
horse and chatied with the man for
- minutes. Afterward the youngster
was told that the little man was none
other than the noted author. During
the last 20 years persons who could
boast of having seen Scott alive have
become fewer. Two years ago il was
practically conceded that Mr.. Douglas
had sole claim TO the distinction.
