ABBOTSFORD. Copyright, 1913, by The Associated Newspaper School, Inic. ! A man who at the at of fifty-| five resolves to pay off a bankruptey | debt of $600,000 must justly be re- garded as a hero. Not many men, weakened in health and used to all comforts, would attempt to do this—; especially when the debt was incurred through no fault of their own, and! when the law does not force them to| pay. Yet that is what Sir Walter: ‘Scott—the “Wizard of the North”— did, and so fiercely did he work at lus writing—twelve, fourteen, and snpl teen hours a day—that at his death s8ix years later every penny of that, colossal and heartbreaking debt had; been paid. The story of Abbotsford, the home; of the great poet and novelist, of which he dreamed for years, and which he planned and built himself, is a drama, a tragedy itself. No sooner was the great house finished and the dream of his life complete tha the crash of tremendous ruin fell on Scott. It was on a bleak winter morning in 1826 that a friend called at Ab- botsford and found the novelist ter- ribly agitated. “My friend,” said Sir Waltfer to him, “give me your hand; mine is| that of a beggar.” The publishing house with which he had been connected -had failed, and Scott took upon himself the ter- rible burden of satisfying- its credi- tors. It was an apparently hopeless task for a writer, and one in such a frail state of health as Scott, to ac- complish. But where others would have yielded to fate, he stood up to | "Waverley”” Walter Scott was born at Edin- burgh on August 15, 1771. His fath- rer wanted him to follow his own pro- fession, that of a lawyer; but the boy wished to write. He wrote poetry at ifirst; but according to the story turn- ed to prose romance, when he found that Lord Byron excelled him as a poet. It was in 1814 that a novel— —by an anonymous au- thor appeared. Its popularity swept like wild fire all over England. Book jafter book, all of the same excellence, was published. The secret of the au- thorship was jealously kept by Scott | —for what reason many guesses have been made—but at last his name was definitely connected with this great series—the “Waverley Novels.” He prospered brilliantly for eleven years. And then ‘came the crash of ruin. Scott put his shoulder to the wheel. His wife died soon after the struggle began; but, though sick at heart, he toiled on indomnitably. Success was his in the end; but the struggle killed him. : It was on the twenty-first of Sep- tember, 1832, that Sir Walter Scott died. f Every day a different human inter- est story will appear in the Pioneer.

LEGISLATURE OVER| (Continued from first page). are defeated in one or more sessions before they finally pass. Itasca State Park Saved. Itasca park has been saved to the| state. The house Tuesday afternoon passed the senate bill appropriating $250,000 for purchasing timber lands within the confines of the park, and|- this will care for this natural beauty spot for all time as well as protect the headwaters of the Mississippi river. According to State Forester W. T. Cox over 25,000,000 feet of timber and 6;000,000 acres of land’ will be added to the park with the money. This will put an end to operations by lumbermen who were rapidly des- troying the beauty of this tract. The bill provides for the issuance of certificates of indebetedness for purchasing land and timber. After twentyty-two years the legislature makes provision to keep its pledge to the Federal government under the original park land grant to complete the purchase of private holdings in the park. Allthough some of the lumber com- panies had objected at first to dis- posing of their holdings, it is be- lieved that now all will co-operate in allowing the whole area to become a park for all time. To Cut Appropriations. One million dollars is the amount Governor Eberhart is said to be con- templating cutting out of the various appropriation bills. The total car- ried by these measures aggregates $21,000,000. ‘Where the Governor will begin to cut, if he does so at all, is not known even by himself. He has begun a careful study of the bills. The law gives to the executive the right to veta any item in the omnibus bills.” He cannot reduce an appropria- tion, but must either approve it in full or strike it out. It is understood Governor Eberhart believes the house organization, in order to keep in power, has played fast and loose with the purse strings of the state. Several minor items will be care- fully scrutinized. It is said these were placed on the bill in order to placate disturbing elements in the house and to make the organization harmon- ious.

Paris, Ex- position, ' France, March, 1912, | DISPROVING AN OLD BELIEF Slily Idea About Career of “Minister’s Sons” Is Given a Setback by Pub- lication of a Few Facts. Did anybody say anything abowt “ministers’ sons?” No? Well, any ‘way, they are coming to their own in spite of the old saw. Three of the last seven presidents of the United States were sons- of ~ministers—Ar thur, ‘Cleveland and Wilson. Two denominations have been rep resented thus by ancestry in the White House. Mr. Arthur was the son —one of nine children—of the Rev. William Arthur, a Baptist. Mr. Cleve. land’s father was the Rev. Richard F. C'eveland, Presbyterian, while Presi- dent Wilson’s father, the Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, was not only a Presby- terian clergyman, but also a professor .in a theological seminary. It is esti- mated that there is one clergyman in the United States to 220 adult men. So the ministers, through their sons, are getting much more than their share of representation in the execu- tive chair. They are doing even better through their daughters. Mrs. Wilson is the daughter and the granddaughter of Presbytetian ministers. the seventh mistress of the White House of clerical - descent. Adats was the daughter of a Con gational minister. Mrs. = Fillmore's father was a Baptist clergyman. Mrs. Plerce came from the family of « col- lege president, the Rev. Jesse Apple ton, head of Bowdoin. While Mr. Ar thur was president his sister, Mrs. MecEilroy, presided at the White House, as did President Cleveland's sister, Miss Rose Cleveland, in the first part of his first administration.. Mrs. Har rison was the daughter of the Rev. J.

As laid down by Prof. W:J. A. Butterfield, one of London’s foremost ~gas ‘experts, the require ments for good gas include the great est number of heat units at the lowest cost, an odor not too strong, a flame of some natural luminosity, and no yield on combustion of products harm- tul to lite or destructive to property.
