grandmother and aunt poured into
his eager ears tales of border war
fare and old Scottish ballads.
He was a sickly child, and this
resulted in a permanent lameness.
But as a boy he so far overcame
this handicap that he was always
in the thick of schOolboy fights, and
none Of his comrades could climb
better than he the steep slopes Of
the Castle-rOck.
As soon as he was old enough to
read, he literally devoured books.
He would not read love stories or
tales Of family life. He wanted al
ways yarns Of adventure or DOCKS
OF history. As a boy. he was so
stepped in chronicles of feudal
times, in histories of bygone days.
or in accounts of Scottish life, that
he was already equipped with his
background for "Ivanhoe" and The
Talisman," "KenilwOrth" a n d
Quentin Durward." The Heart of
Midlothian and "Waverley."
He loved Scotland with a passion
ate devotion that has seldom been
equalled, He told Washington Irv-
ing that he should die If he could
not see the heather at least once
a year. He wrote straight out Of
his heart the lines:

be much more eficacious. although
prohibition has pretty well solved

ing at all, is already so overwhelmed
with remorse for his conduct that a
tongue-lashing only makes him ad-
ditionally unhappy or positively re-
bellious.
Faith and Love.
Kiss him, stubby beard and all. and
let him see that you still have faith

Take my word for II, he will appre-
Ciate your self-restraint and there

another one over and paste.
When you want to rub of the

If you want to save seeds from
plants. like asters, tie a small paper

your paper bag. and il you want to
