sm WALTER. sCO’l‘T’S fi—‘iRsT‘eRIEF.
" One of His Best Fee’s was the Sound Ad- ,
vice of a Bin-slur. .
Sir Walter Scott had his share of
curious experiences in the samecon-
nectio-n' shortly afier being called to3
the bar. His first appearance as coun-
sel in a criminal court was at J edburgh
Assizes in 1793, .when he successfully
defended a veteran poacher. “YotYre
a lucky scoundrel!” Scott Whispered to
his client when the verdict was given.
“I’m just 0’ your mind,” returned the
latter, “and I’ll send you a maukin
(namely, a hare) the >morn, man,"
Lockhartf who narrates the incident,
omits to add Whether the “mankin”
duly reached Scott, but no doubt it did.
On another occasion Scott was less
successful in his defense of a house-
brcaker, but the culprit, grateful for
his counsel’s exertions, gave him, in
lieu of the orthodox fee, which he was
unable to pay, this piece of advice, to
the value of which he, the h-ousebreak-
er, could professionally attest: First,
never to have Ia. large watchdog out of
doors, but .to keep a little yelping ter-
rier within; and secondly, to put no
trust in nice, clever, gimcrack locks,
but to pin his faith to a huge old heavy
one with a rusty key; Scott long re-
membered this incident and thirty
‘ years later, at a judges’ dinner at Jed-
burg, he recalled it in this impromptu
rhyme:
Yelping terrier, rusty key.
Was Walter Scott‘s best J eddart fee.
Cream Candies.
The Canadian-s make the most de-
lightful cream candies of maple sugar,
"cream and butternuts.
Melt a pound of new maple sugar
with a cup of thin cream and boil the
syrup to a creamy ball, but not until it
“cracks.” When the syrup has reached
the proper state, scatter butternut ker-
nels evenly over sheets of buttered tin
and pour on. just enough of the syrup
to cover them. -Crease the sheets ,of
candy into small squares and break
them apart when the candy has be-
come cold.
How to Serve Macaroni.
Macaroni’served in the Italian style
means simply boiled macaroni over
which a highly-seasoned brown gravy
is poured, grated cheese being sent
round with the dish. The gravy is
nicest made by cutting up in two-inch
pieces some lean, juicy beef from the
round and simmering in a little water
into which a fried onion is put. Strain
and thicken, adding half a dozen
chopped mushrooms. .
A New, English Tire.
A new tire which attracted great at-.
tention at the recent bicycle shows in
England is likely to be on the market
here before long. This tire has no
inner air tube, but is a single tube,
which opens so that it may be repaired
from the inside. It is almost identical
with the outer cover of an ordinary
clincher tire, except that one of the
edges laps inside the other one, VI'IIO‘iIil‘

$2,000 a concert. She gets between
$1,400 and $1,500 at the Metropolitan
and forty performances guaranteed.
Mme. Emma Eames is receiving this
year about $900 a'night, with a guar-
