More thnn once has the question ns to whether Annie Laurie, the subject nf the ever-popular and ever-living song bearing her name as title, was a real person or mere fiction, A letter has come to hand that was written by Miss M. E. Riddle, daughter of the late Judge BIddle, for many years a circuit court Justice In this section, says a writer In the Pitts burgh Gazette-Times. The Riddles were of Laurie Ilk, as Scotch folk say, and they had gone to some consider able pains to get the story of the song straight, as there had been consider able contention about It. Here It is : "Jean Itlddell (the name later spelled lllddle) was married trt Sir Robert Laurie, the first baronet of Maxwelton. One of their daughters was Annie Lau rie, celebrated In Scotch song. "Annie Laurie was famed for her beauty and cleverness, and was a social favorite in all the country round about, so lc was not at all surprising that she captivated a Mr. Douglas of England, a man of culture and of letters, who composed the song bearing her name. "But seeing that the course of true love docs not run smoothly, she mar ried a Mr. Ourgesson, leaving Mr. Douglas to his hunting and his verses. "To this day many pilgrims go to Maxwelton, drawn thither by the much loved song, 'Annie Laurie' Many also visit Crnlgdorroch, where she spent her married life in comfort." or tne crown is a huge snppmre, bought by George IV. The remaining Jewels consist of 1,863 brilliant dia monds, 1,273 rose diamonds, 147 table diamonds, 277 pearls, 16 sapphires, U emeralds and four rubles. Complete with its white silk lining and purple cap, the crown weighs slightly more than 39 ounces. WARY OLD BIRD IS TRUTH Fact Worth Remembering When One la Tempted to Criticise Error Seen In Newspapers. "Where do you get the absurd facts you print?" Is a favorite query put to newspaper men. In the view of these cynics, newspapers spend most of their time misspelling names, Im agining incidents thut never happened, and generally manhandling life us it is led. Thorn Is just one answer to be made to the query nbove, and that Is: "Newspapers got such of their fucts as are absurd from the absurd human beings who for one reason or a thou sand refuse to relate facts accurately." Newspapers, truth-telling newspapers, spend a very large part of their time correcting these misstatements, run ning them to their source, and getting nt the truth. A certain proportion of error gets by not ns great a propor tion ns can be heard in any village neighborhood gossip, for It Is the con cern of newspapers of honest ones, that is to allow for errors and correct them, whereas It Is the concern of those other purveyors of news, gossips, lo crente errors whenever they are more Interesting than the trutj). The next time you find an error In your favorite newspaper, try nn experi ment. Try to capture one small fact yourself, In your own home town. You will qulclily discover Just how wary a bird the truth Is and how very unpopular. (few York Tribune. Chinese Canals. At what period the Chinese began to dig canals, there is no authentic rec ord to prove. Sometimes It seems as if these remarkable people must al ways have had canals and other works, so long have they been familiar to them and so well established have they been as a part of the country as the men from the Occident first visited it. One thinks of the Grand Canal of China and the Great Wall of China to gether, although, of course, they have nothing whatever to do with each oth er, except thnt they are both ancient and remarkable works of the Chinese people. lzea, ana the shipping' Is heavy and varied. The water Is deep enough for chips of 1,000 tons burden as far as the city, but foreign boats come up only ns far as Whampoa, nine miles to the southeast, where there are extensive docks. Here the loading and unload ing is done by native boats. Vessels of deep draft He outside the bar. For ty miles below Is the Boca Tigris (Mouth of the Tiger), and the water widens into a wide estuary. Water di vides the old from the new town nnd surrounds the island and the suburbs, where the Europeans live, so that Can ton hns nn abundance of picturesque water life, including a big houseboat population. Don't Envy Others. Idle women, or women who seem to be spared anything that Bavors of work, are never happy or satisfied. Persons who live aimless lives simply cannot be happy. Let the woman given to envying those "fortunate," but in reality lazy and listless Individuals, ponder seri ously over this truth, become Interest ed In some worthwhile duty of the hour, and try to forget herself. If she I does this she will not find any time to j waste in idle wishing, but, on the other hand, will experience a contentment delightfully new and satisfying. Interesting Old Egyptian Letters. Letter writing, fortunately, was much practiced In ancient Egypt, and there are quantities of letters between persons of ull degrees of education and written on all sorts of occasions We may read, for Instance, the encour agement and good advice sent by pa rents to absent sons, or may recognize familiar types of character in the an swering effusions of children to pa rentsthe spoilt boy who scolds his father for having left hlin nt home In stead of taking him to the capital ; the well-conducted youth, who complacent ly assures his relatives that he Is get ting on very well, combining study with recreation, nnd the prodigal son, who writes to beg his mother's for giveness and confesses (hat he has brought himself to destitution. Useful Tree. An American tree, known as the shea, or butter tree, is beginning to at tract commercial attention. It sup plies not only nuts, but also butter that may become an article of commer cial Importance. It Is already exported to Europe, where makers of artificial butter find, use for It. Almost two-thirds of the nut Is veg etable butter. The tree begins to bear when it Is fifteen years old and reachei Its prime in twenty-five years. Choco late manufacturers could easily util ize the product. It might also be ol use In making candles and soap. CUREFOR"LITTLE AILMENTS Canton a City of Canals.

Man and animals alike, It's wonder ful what a shock will do to heal our errors and our weaknesses. The only thing that ever stopped Uncle Bill In an argument was a dlshpan, or some heavy, blunt Instrument clouted over his brow, and in his younger days he was some argufler, as his scars attest. Here is the case of the blind man in San Rafael, Cal who fell 40 feet off the roof of his house, and found his eyesight restored; Aunt Ellen, who was bedridden for years, was the first person to reach safety when the house caught fire, and her bad hip hns been practically all right ever since; you remember thnt crippled negro who bent even the dogs home when the bear charged out of the brush. A lot of us have troubles that are only In our minds; when we are fed a little real trouble we forget the smnller ones. There Is, perhaps, an opening for a sanitarium that will take a crip ple or an lnvnlid and throw him off a cliff, or crack him over the head with n brick or a crowbar anything to wake him up, make him forget his small worries, and heal his diseased mind. Precious Stones In British Crown. There are no less than 3,000 stones In the crown of the British king. Some very famous Jewels are Included In this number.
