tBy W. M. Person)
While in London we saw several
ph.ceH' where I tic* C-rmuii bombs ft- 1 1
troin the sky. one in Hyd& Park that
killed- OOQ, another in Hussell square
that demolished several large bit I Id 1 '
lugs. Not a light was allowed in the ,
cliy at night ieiit the Boches would
, see it and direct their dread missels
01' destruction. The lakes and ponds
were covered so that no -.reflection
of the moon and stars could be 3een
from above.
We were struck with the great num
ber of monuments of every form, age,
size and sex. from Lord Nelson so high
that it overlooked the city, to that oft
our own A. Lincoln facing the north I
entrance of Westminister Abbey, Just
recently unveiled, frpm the virgin
Queen Elizabeth to the good Queen
Victoria, two of the greatest Queens
that ever graced the English throne,
and contributed so much to the mak
ing of English character and history.
The average woman of London can't
compare with our American women,
with rare exceptions they are smaller,
with ruddier complexion, larger hands
and feet, and lack the beauty pep and
dash, also a want of good taste in
dress and general appearance. The
men still rule over them, and there is
a look of dependence and oppression I
on the faces of many of them. For
many ages, under the English law,
a man had a legal right to whip his
wife, provided he used a switch no
larger than the Chancellors thumb.
A maxim of this mid age of English
history runs thus "A woman, a dog,
and a walnut tree, the more you beat
them, the better yey be.' But this
barbarism has disappeared, with the
result that the women have the same
rights the men have and oftentimes
more. It was reserved for an Ameri
can born woman. Lady Astor, to
break all precedents and become a
member of the Parlaiment. She was
one of the famous Langhorne sisters
of Virginia.
On Sunday the 27th of July, we
boarded the train at noon for Eden
burgh, Scotland, 402 miles distant*
where we arrived in time for dinner
that evening, after a most delightful
trip through the heart of England,
stopping only at Rugby, familiar to
all who have read "Mrs. Brown of
Rugby," Wigan and Carlisle,
It -was a bright sunny day as we
passed through rural England, farm
after farm in a high state of cultiva
tion, the fences built of rock, about
five feet high, some of which had been
built a thousand yeai4. With the fields
and pastures filled with the finest
sheep and cattle in the world. Didnt
see a poor horse or cow on the whole
trip. The roads are all hard surfaced
but narrow. We did not see as many
automobiles on the entire trip as
comes to Louisburg every Saturday.
No private machine owned by anyone
but the rich. As we passed through
[ Wigan the great iron center of Eng
land we could see hundreds of smoke
stacks in every direction, then in sight
of Manchester, with its cotton factor
ies, some of them miles in length, then
through Lancaster a great manufactur
ing centre. Though on Sunday many
o I the great plants were running. The
sparks from Vulcans forge flash
around the world from this busy work
shop, and has contributed so much
to make this little island the mistress
' of the universe. The parks full of
p'aying school children, engaged in
I tennis, succor, they haven't learned
| base ball yet. Miles and miles of brick
ihouses continuous squares all seeming
|ly one house, two and three stories
high. All go to show the crowded con
ditions of these human bee-hives of
industry.
' At Carlisle we crossed the Scotland
jllne, into the lands of clans, feuds and
, Macs. The same conditions of hill and
| farms as in England, except the land
more broken, but all the rock used in
fences. All the houses even built of
rock, substantial, seemingly built for
all time to come.
The scotch are the finest and thrift,
est pMDle on earth. The impressions
of proaPlrity is stamped in all their
towns and cities. Before we reached
| Edenburgh we saw immense piles of
earth some 400 feet high and covering
several acres. When we were told that
they were shale debris, where the oil
had been extracted from the rock
brought up from the bowels of the
earth. About night we arrived at our
destination, one of the most historical
I cities and capital in Scotland. Eden,
burgh covers 32,000 acres with a popu
lation of more than 400,000 Edenburgh
is as far north of New York city as
New York Is north of Havana.
Tacftus. a Roman historian, a con
temporary of Josephus, In his life of
Agicola, said that the Island of Great
Brltton settled so far north that you
could hear the whirl of the sun as it
flew around the north pole. Through
mid summer the days are more than
three hours longer than ours, cool as
oxr November with a rainfall every
day, Just like we have experienced for
the past three weeks. About 300
members of the American Bar went
to Scotland, a large crowd to Duplin,
but a larger delegation to Paris, and
all were guests of the Bars in each
of these capital cities. One's attention
in Scotland Is centered on three great
fcames in history, Mary Stuart, Queen
of Scotlond, Sir Walter Scott, the great
historical novelist, and John Knox, the
great reformer and founder of the Pres
byterian church. We were shown most
of the historical points of Interest In
the capital cfty. On Monday we were
taken down Princess street, by the
DOKofflce, the register hous4, the
equestrian statue of- the Duke of Well
ington. Then Vie saw the 8cott monu
ment, with a white marble statue
underneath Its gothlc arches, which
are adorned with statues of prominent
characters In Scott's works. We next |
visited the most celebrated structure.
Hollywood place, which was founded
by David I, 1128. This castle was burn
ed the second time -Dx the English in
1644, and after it was restored It be
i tiief residence of the court,

she married l.ord Darnley, who- be- j
came Jealous <>f her and had Keggiu, i
her Italian secretary drug from her j
presence and stabbed to death in an j
adjoining room. We saw Mary's bed !
room Just as it was when she occupied
it. with a peep hole in the wall above
her bed. We saw the place of the trag.
edy at Kirk of Field where the house '
in which Darnley #a? sleeping was I
blown up with gun pomder. resulting '
in his dead body being found in the
garden. Bothwell. who was tried for
this murder and acquitted soon mar
ried the Queen. Mary fled for protec
tion to her cousin, Queen Elizabeth,
who Imprisoned her in the tower, and
In 1585 had her beheaded. We saw the
picture gallery 150 teet long with over
one hundred imaginary portraits of
Scottish Kings painted by a Flam
ming De Witt In 16S4-86. This palace
accomodated Louis XVIII and the ex
iled Chas x, of Prance, and In later
times was the residence of George IV
Queen Victoria and Edward VII and
George V on their visits to the city
After Much we went out to the great |
bridge, over the Firth of Forth. 450 1
feet high and one mile and a fifth in I
length and cost $17,500,000, several
tracks wide and a train is constantly
crossing, sometimes two. This is the
highest bridge in the world. It has
a metal surface of twenty five acres
and requires 250 tons of paint and
35,000 gallons of oil to paint It. We"
then visited the mines of Linlithgow
castle, one of the oldest buildings in
Scotland This was founded in the
11th century and was the palace of
James V. and the place of Mary Queen
of Scots birth. It was destroyed by
[fire In 1446 and Is now standing com
plete in its architectural majesty and
ruin. Here we examined the old church
standing near the castle. After speech
es of welcome from the Scottish bar
and responses from the Americans
we had tea In the Masonic hall, A
Scottish bag pipe band met us in the
village at the foot of the hill and es
corted us to (he chapel. At night we
attended a reception and dinner given
to ub In the Halls of Parlalment by
the Scotch bar. which was attended
by all the leading men of Scotland.
The Nobility. Judges. Chancellors. Bar
rlsters and Attorneys, decorated and
attended by the families. We met them,
and the heartiest welcome we had re
ceived on our entire tour. The Scotch.
I believe, are from every standpoint,
the finest people we met- Their lan
guage was the best English we heard.
Their manners and address were al
most Southern, Their ladles greeted
us with all the refinements of a cul
tured class, and had the grace of
j queenly t earing personfied. With com
mittees to introduce us to the guests
and hosts with a dinner the most
elaborate we had seen, with cham
palgne flowing like water, with Scotch
whiskey for all who would indulge,
midnight came too soon. A bagpipe
I band clayed the National airs. The
i flowers used for decorating the fine
large Halls cost^k thousand pounds.
This was the high water mark of hos
pitality in its truest sense. The next
morning we went through St. Giles
Cathedral. This ancient norman edi
Jfice was founded by Alexander I,
j about 1120. and has never been en
tirely demolished. It was burned along
I with the city by Richard II in 1385,
jbut a part of the choir and nave and
[the base of the spire escaped destruc
tion, In Its palmy days this church had
| about 40 altars and seventy priests,
j John Knox, great reformer, preached
j from a ppot near the right of the
present pulpit. When Episcopacy had
i teen established in Scot I: nd untie
jCbarlcs I. this way the ipno'iited cu
thedral of t! . lllocesc. When Uean
iHannay on Sunday the 23rd of July
1639. began to read the collect for the
| day. Jenny Geddes emphasized her re
monstrance by throwing her folding
! stool at his head. Both the Dean and
his Assistant have commemorative
tablets raised to their memory, and
the stool which started the battle be
tween Episcopacy and Presbyterian
ism has found a resting place In a
museum beside Knox's old pulpit.
This great building is the Scottish
| Westminister Abbey where monuments
might be raised to distinguished
Scotchmen of past and future genera
tions. Several such monuments have
been raised among them tjie recum
bent figure of the Marquis of Moul
I trose, and the Marquis of Argyle and
memorials to R. L. Stevenson and to
many others. In Albany Chapel is a
monument of John Knox. We noted
and enjoyed Sr. Elols Chapel, the Bap
tismal Posit, the Moray. Chepmans,
and Prestons Aisles, and the Kings
Pillar built In 1460, all of which are
interesting, commemorative of tragic
events in Scotlands history. '
In the Thistle Royal Chapel we saw
seme wonderful wood carvings made
by men who could neither read nor
wTlte, about the time Columbus dis
covered America. After seeing the
many historical points of this wonder
ful city too numerous to mention, the
next day we boarded the train for the
Trosaacks of Scotland on the way we
passed Sterling Castle, famous In
Scotch stJng and story. "We were now
in mountains of north Scotland, and
after lunch we boarded a carravan
for the "bonny banks" of Loch La
mond, at one end of which rises the
overmatched silence of Ben Lamond.
There are no mountains greener and
more picturesque than those of nortlf
Scotland, After traveling many miles
'on a small steamer we were trans
Iferred to busses that carried us over
, mountainous roads about twenty miles
i to Lock Katrine, where we took anoth
Jer steamer for the station to Glasgow.
We saw Benbenue and Ben Air about
3,000 feet above the sea level. While
on bock Katrine we saw and passed

which we reached Just before night.
We passed for many miles along the
Clyde the greatest ship building cen
tre of the world. Glasgow city is throbb

ing you well he concludes that you
crave that sort of thing. On the other
hand, his gift may convey a subtle
compliment? a gift of The Companion
: for instance. It is a tribute to your
| good taste, to a certain idealism he
has perceived in your make-up, to
the impression you give that life is
real and earnest and not merely a
game of skittles. You may be sure
that anybody who thinks slightingly
of The Companion as a gift is himself
making life a game of skitJLles ? and
very little else.

FftRHlLAS OF SITCESS
The fact remains that most men die
poor. However rich or well to-do. they
may be at some time in life, after their
debts are paid very few haveanything
left "for themselves in old age or for
their families after they are gone.
Court records show that out of 100
men who die. 3 leave estates of $10,
000 or more; 15 leave estates of $2,000
to $10,000. and 82 leave no income
producing estates at all. Out of every
100 widows 3 are left in comfort. 15
are only temporarily provided for. 47
are obliged to work and 35 are in ab
solute want. And when we add to this?
the unfortunate children of these wid
ows, we have a picture that should
cause any man to think: a picture
that no reasonable, thoughtful man
could view and not be impressed with
the immediate need for life insurance.
Death is never a pleasant subject
at best, and unless we keep our house
in order, it will haunt us day and
night.
Yours for better service.
