ROBERT Copyright, 1913, by The Asso BURNS’' COTTAGE ciated Newspaper School, Inc. Few poets singing in dialect become world famous. simple reason that a dialect poet is likely to be local—to write of local| things—to avoid the universal. But‘ Robert Burns—“poor Burns,” as we/ think of him—was the exception. Who does not know “Auld Lang Syne” and all that it means? Or who has| not said to himself in his own way, “A man’s a man for a’ that Robert Burns could not help but be a poet of the people—the “peasant poet.” He.was born close to the soil of Scotland. On January 25, 1759 he opened his eyes in a small cottage | about two miles from Ayr, in Scot-| land. . FHis father was only a small| farmer, and Robert got very little ed- | ucation, but lots of hard work. | However, he managed to learn to read, and used to carry his books into the field with him to snatch a few| moments’ reading during the day. At mealtimes he sat with a spoon in one hand and a book in the other. He| liked best the ballads of Scotland— the old songs of the minstrels. But in 1781 he went to Irvine to| learn the trade of a flax-dresser. And it was here that he indulged two hab- its that clung to him all the rest of his life—drinking and falling in love. For the poet was a boon companion at a feast and a great heartbreaker— but his own. heart was broken also many times. His fortunes fell' very low in 1786, and he intended to’sail for the West Indies, there to try to better them. -But his first volume of ‘poetry proved This is true for the, to be suich a.great success that he did not go. His poems took the people by storm. Everyone read them. He was invited to Edinburgh, where he be- came the lion of the hour. But all this did not bring him in much money. Finally in 1789 he got a position as excise officer. But as the years went on-and he grew wilder and wilder in his dissipations, friends drew away from him. His only com- panions were those of the lowest classes. At last; on July 4, 1796, he knew that he was dying. He wrote on the, twelfth to his cousin for a loan ‘of fifty dollars, to save him from pass- ing his last days in jail.. He died on the twenty-first of July, 1796. The Burns cottage near Ayr is rev- erently preserved as a memorial to the Doet. Here is the little room where he was born, and here are to be found many mementos associated with his life. This cot, built of clay by Burns’ father, is a shrine for those who love the memory of,the “peasant poet.” Every day a different human inter- est story will appear in the Pioneer. iYou can get a beautiful intaglio re- production of the above pictiire, with five others, equally ‘attractive, 7x9% inches in size, with this week’s “Men- tor.” In “The Mentor” a well known authority covers the subject of the pictures and stories of the week.

Other petitions urging favorable action on the bill were for- warded by the West Side and Cal- houn Commercial clubs and the Joint Tmprovement association. The gathering was very demonstra- tive. Representative W. I. Nolan was ,Dwmnell expresed the belief that the | 8iven an ovation while “hisses greeted mention of the names of Hennepin county representatives who failed to vote to pass.the bill over the veto. W. 0. Clure, manager of the W. E. Lee gubernatorial campaign, created a stir with an assertion that the Otter Tail county delegation admitted to him that they were promised a judge- ship to stand by the governor’s veto. Cards printed with protests against the veto'were circulatéd ~ for signa- tures. Former Governor John Lind, pre- siding, declared the meeting the larg- {est outpouring he had seen of men who have worked for greater Minnea- polis.. He referred to the governor’s veto as an assault on the cities of the state. Cities are like individuals, he said, in that laws caniot be found to fit all but must be drawn up to meet | conditions. “The- governor says he wants to save ‘us from our city council, but I assert we can save ourselves from bad city councils,” said Mr. Lind. “With awakened public sentiment Minnea- polis will never agdin have a rotten eouncil. This question #nvolves a principle it took years to defeat—the Shall we take a step backward is the question, and: this meeting -indicates” we ‘shall not.” At the chairman’s suggestion, H. L. Day was chosen secretary of the meeting. Legal Opinion, “A cat sits on my back fence every uight and he yowls and yowls and yowls. Now, I don't want to have any trouble with neighbor Jones, but this thing has gone far enough, and I want you to tell me what-to do.” The young lawyer looked as solemn as an old sick owl, and said not a word. “I have a right to shoot:the cnc haven't 17" “I-would hardly say that,” replied young Coke Blackstone. “The cat does not belong to you, as I unden stand 1it.” 2 “No, but the fence does.” “Then,” concluded the light of law, “I think it safe to say you have a per- fect right to tear down the fence.’— New York Press. Curious Swiss Building Law. ~ A peculiar building regulation is in force in most parts of Switzerland. It is required that before the erection of %2 new building, frames or screeds 1ust be erected to mark out the shape of the building in profile as well as in plan. In practice this amounts to erecting at each angle of the build- ing a pole or mast with a projecting triangular ‘frame attached to it at the cornice level to indicate the height and. projection of the cornice. The purpose of the rule apparently is to bring-out, in advance-of con-|" struction, the architectual relations of the building to -adjoining structures and to the district in which it lies, both for aiding the municipal authori- ties in passing upon the plans from the architectual view point and giving the neighboring owners an oppor- tunity to judge of the eflect of the pro- posed new huildlng upon their inter ests. ‘The Boss Would Rather Tackle A Brigand Than A Liard - d poor sport.

On one occasion he went into the shop of the local hatter, Mr. Smith, and asked for the best beaver he had, cle, saying, as he took the money: “That beaver will last a man a life- time.” Bill went proudly down the main street with 'his fine beaver. on hla head, and immediately celebrated. the event with a protracted debauch. - When he recovered- he returned to the shop-with a most disreputable hat. “Look here T thought you said this Mr. Smith produced the desired arti-|.
