Parson Wheel er was invited out one afternoon for a motorcar ride with one of his friends. The minister, who enjoyed all outdoor sports, was very. enthusiastic over motoring, so he was allowed to drive the car. While speed ing along he was stopped by a con stable and ordered to the station house. "Weil," said the captain, after listen ing to their story, "you say you were going at only fifteen miles an hour, but the constable declares you were trav eling at forty. Now. 1 don't like to doubt the word of either of yon. Can you think why he insists you were traveling at that rate of speed? Is there any grudge he owes you?" "No," said the clergyman thought fully.

A 'Scotch newspaper having referred to the old story that Walter Scott, son of the great novelist, had never read his father's novels, the Dunfermline Court Journal reprints a letter that first appeared In its columns on Sept 17, 1859. It was signed "Veritas,' and the writer says: "From 1810 to 1833 I resided in Edinburgh and was on intimate terms with Walter Scott Sitting together one winter evening several years before his father made the famous declaration at the the atrical fund dinner held in the assem bly rooms of Edinburgh that he was the author of the Waverley novels. put. the following questions to my friend: 'Do you not really and truly believe your father to be the author of the Waverley novels, or who do you suppose the author to be?' "His answer was: 'I have really no Idea who the author is. If my father is the author he keeps the secret to himself, for none of the family knows. And then he added, 'The moment a new novel (by the author of "Wav erley") Is announced my father orders a copy from his bookseller, and the whole family assembles in the parlor in the evening to hear the novel read by myself and my sisters, each taking a turn. "He further added, 'When anything very droll or funny occurs in the read ing of the novel my father joins most heartily in the laugh, perhaps more so than any of the family.

"It was unbelievably naive, and I should have dismissed the talk as the veriest moonshine had I not been a witness during the preceding months to the man's rise from an inferior po sition, where he was under a cloud, to a lieutenant generalship, with which he had become the hero of the war.

One day in the King's road he saw Carlyle coming In his direction and took advantage of the opportunity by going up to the sage and saying. "Thomas Carlyle, I believe?" Carlyle's reply was, "Tom Alexander, I know!" They became good friends, and later Mr. Alexander wrote to Carlyle for a subscription to ward a school building fund, and Car lyle wrote back a refusal In doggerel, whereupon Mr. Alexander replied that if he did not send him 5 he would sell his poetry to a collector or publish it The 5 was at once forthcoming.
