Our Scotch Corner THE DEMOCRACY OF THE SCOT. ins siserell undiesitas taint tvoolot T , ,A Star led Mother abetat*.weacsi to" sticrardspinproozia telt !lase: wooly hawses* moss ishiarly delboat ' HearsThat cougn it,i,ultakriuda,iv);Iottiensisol rag% 40,Xv:1741a.;1; You will always find the Scot, at home or sarerad, a democratic man. In =neer, speech and behavior he is die- tinet from iron-boued caste, and free from aristocratic', snobbery. lie is loyal to his Governmeet and King, but he nev- er forgets that in bio least be carries a Baunockburn, and in his veine runs the patriotic blood of a Wallace and Bruce. The Scot's democracy is not only local and national, it ie international. le is al free as the air, as broad as the uni- verse, as deep as the sea. He is thor- oughly cosmopolitan. He lives not in the social and politteal footthills, he lives on the mountain tops, where Lis intellectual, social and political horizon is broad, deep and soul -inspiring. Vhei- eyer you find a Scotsman you. find a worker. He boners the man who snakes his revenue with his hand.s and. brain. His definition of a gentleman is not a man who does eomething and has some- thing to do. He believes in the sweat and sweet of honest toil, whether it leaves a mren's hands black or white. Centuries% ago Virgil sang "Arms and the man," but it was a Scotsman wile said in the last century, "No—not 'arms and the men,' but tools and the man." The great problems of civilization are cen- tred mom in the workshop than in the battlefield. Our great heroes are no more clad in gold lace and commanding men in battle—they are the men (and the Scot is among them) who wield the hammer instoied of the sword. The man who dic- tates to kings, and makes his own terms with princes and governors, is no more the general of the army, or the scarlet - robed sexiest, but the man who ean write six ciphers after the figure one, and who corammuls an industrial army number- ing thousands. B there is a man more powerful But ere than the general of industry or com- merce. He is the man when he speake, before whom the king drops his sceptre, and the millionaire les pen. Who is this man? He is the representative of the greet middle elass, the beekbone of our nation, the salt of the Republic. He, In fat, is the ruler of the nation, and I am proud to say that Scotland's sons have helped. to furnish owe of that "salt," and make part of that "'back- bone" of the Republic. While the Scot is a practioal democrat, ehe is an idealistie one as well. He is hard and soft, cold and warm, logical and lov- able. If he ean be a Carnegie in com- merce he ean also be a Burns in poetry, a Scott in fiction., a Hamilton in philoso- phy, a Chalmers in eloquence, a Candlish in theology.

About five o'clock in the after- noon we were called upon to go to the dock and pump water on some coal which was burning in iridescent tints, threat- ening the destruction of the wharf, one of the few which had so far escaped. Then I decided that despite the terror the land held for me I would, ma,ke an attempt to go out to my home, five miles away, and see what had become of the people there and try to rescue what remained of my personal belongings. Af- ter walking oleic dietance through hide- ous sights I secured a cab at a fabulous sum and drove out home. There I found the people camped out on the lawn. The house, which was of bricks, had fallen to pieces, and had I been in my room at the time of the disaster I should inevit- ably. have been crushed to death. The place was in a state of chaos,' We slept all night on the grass under an improvis- ed tent, guarded. by a faithful servant f thehouse, h with a machete fearing the disorderly who attack peep° for the purpose of loot in the dark hours of the night. In the morning nobody thought of eating. This was fortunete, as there was no food to be obtained at any price, all the stor,es having been burnt to the ground. • ir LETTERS FROM MOTHERS.
