And you will o have a faint idea of the number of his love affairs. | His family name was not “Burns,” but “Burness,” and the original torm of it was borne by Robert's father, a poor Scotch farmer. The post who was one day to make the humbler phases of Scottish life immortal spent his first years in bitter grinding toil, laboring in the fields as plougm- 4 ‘boy, picking up a smattering of education as best he could. He hated the existence he led asa lad and he never wholly forgave Fate for it. Later he wrote: “This kind of life, the cheerless gloom of « hermit and the unceasing t totl of a galley slave, brought me to my sixteenth year.” consolation for the consumer in President Taft's special mes- sage to Congress anent the high cost of living.

So Burns in despair made ready to emigrate to the W Indles. But on the eve of his proposed sailing his first book of poems pulshed. It @cored so great and instant a success that Burns gavé up idea of emigrating and went instead to Edinburgh. Into Gootland’s hi most brilliant society came the young ploughman poet, He was feasted Drateed in a way to turn any man’s head. “With his poems,” wrote Heron, “old and young, grave and gay, leamed and ignorant were alike transported.” ‘ And now, instead of farmers’ daughters, ladies of rank proceeded ¢o fall i in love with him, Where once his rough etrength and good looks had capti- handted and fifty-sixth anniversary of the assassination of | vated dairyma!ds, his magnetism and his genius won the hearts of Countesses.

When heiemerged from the struggle with his foot on the neck of all oppositian he showed his real greatness by a quality rarely ecen ia the ancient world up to that time—clemency. All his life he diligertly courted populer favor by the spectacu- lar, crude methods of his time, by brilliant victories, by incredibly Javish spending ef money for self-advertisement. His private life was far from regnlar. His morale were free even in an age of lszity. Yet euch was Ais industry that three secretaries could not keep pace with him. Om the roughest journeys through campaigns he Gictated in his travdlling carriage the wonderful narratives whove Gtyic has preserved their subject matter. When he reached the height of popularity that amounted to adulation he used his power not in securing to himself eas and idleness, but in wise roforms of social evils, in making digests of laws, in huge echemes of draining marsh lands, enlarging harbors, strengthening boundaries and building “Highland Mary"—(whose death-years later ‘nearly brote his heart) with whom | he exchanged Bioles instead of rings. There was also a rather serious affair with “Mary Morison,” who inspired some of his best tove songs, and whose real name {s said to have been Eitigon Begbie, Margaret Chalmers and Charlotte Hamilton and &@ host of others followed in quick succession, after which, in 178, Burns went back to Jean Armour, who had long before teen forced by her father to reject the poet's suit. Now the | course of so-called “true love’ ran emoother and the couple were married. This union with his old-time sweetheart did not prevent Burns econ afterward from graciously accepting the adoration of Anna Park and Mrs, Wholpdale | (to whom his “Chloris” verses were written) and of many another. ] As in the case of Byron and Shetley and Keats and jar poetic geniuses | Burns's strange life wore itself to an end while he was still a young man, 5 i RA RAR A TEA ENING A SD Early f ly, 1796, when he wes but thirty-seven, he was reported dying.
