The Lockit Book Of the burgesses
Of the city and royal burgh OF Dun
dee, Scotland, was opened the other
day, and to the names of high ois-
tinction already inscribed therein the
name Of Earl Beatty was added lin
recognition of his great services to
the empire, and in testimony OF the
high esteem entertained by the citi-
zens of Dundee for his distinguished
achievements in the service Of the
state" Dundee received the distin-

which was the theater of operations,
as it was the battle ground of the

rapidity and efficiency with which the
ship-repairing resources of Scotland
had been converted TO the services of
the fleet, and paid tribute to the
bravery of Scottish fishermen when
acting as minesweepers.

The Art Of Reading.

The printing press has helped liber-
alize and free the people from tyr
amy. Books and magazines and
newspapers have done much to dis
seminate knowledge and bring ;ilfor-
nation into the homes Of the people
They have promoted the art of read
ing and stimulated the desire to read
more
At the same time the very multi
tude of books and periodicals has cul-
tivated a desultory method of read
ing, a desire to skim over everything
and digest little or nothing. Classic
writings, the great books Of history,
biography and fiction have in meas
ure gone out of fashion. Solid read
ing" as it is called, is not often in
dulged in, and the names OF great
writer's, whose productions will live
always, are unfamiliar to many OF the
present generation.
The excuse is that we live in very
rapid age, and there is no time to
read heavy literature. The reason is
that most persons have lost their
taste for history, for biography, for
good reading. They have partaken OF
the froth for 80 long they have lost
the taste for the substantial.-New
York Herald.

BIG MEN AT POKER TABLE
Correspondent of Saturday Evening
Post Writes Of Games in Which
Statesmen Figured.

Mr.. Cleveland was fond--not over
fond-of cards. He liked to play the
noble game at, say, dollar limit
even once and while for little more
but not much more. A ,d. as Dr.
Norvin Green was wont to observe OF
Commodore Vanderbilt "He held them
exceeding close to his BOSOM.
Mr. Whitney, secretary Of the navy
in his first administration, equally
rich and hospitable, had often the
road gang" as certain group, mainly
senators, was called, to dine, with the
inevitable after-dinner soiree or
seance. I was. when in Washington,
invited to these parties. At one of
them | chanced to sit between the
president and Senator Don Cameron.
Mr.. Carlisle, at the time speaker OF
the housewife handled his cards like
q ctilu end, as we all knew, couldn't
play lirtle-was seated on the oppo'
site side Of the table.
Y After while Mr.. Cameron and l
began bulling the game-I recall that
the limit was $5-that is, raising and
back-raising each other, and whoever
else happened to be in, without much
or any regard to the cards we held.
It chanced on a deal that / picked
up pat flush; Mr.. Cleveland a pat
full. The Pennsylvania senator and l
went to the extreme, the president, OF
course, willing enough for US to play
his hand for him. But the speaker OF
the house persistently stayed with US
and kept on.
We could not drive him out.
When it came to draw Senator
Cameron drew one card. Mr.. Cleve-
land and 1 stood pat. But Mr.. Car
Isle drew four cards. At length, after
much banter and betting, it reached
q showdown and, mirabile dictu, the
speaker held four kings!
'Take the money, Carlisle; take the
money" exclaimed the president. III
ever I am president again you shall
be secretary of the treasury. But
don't you make that four-card draw
too often"
he was president again, and Mr..
Carlisle was secretary Of the treas
ury.-Saturday Evening Post.
