THE ROYAL SCOTS GIVEN PRECEDENCE OVER BRITISH INFANTRY REGIMENTS Bate From the Time of Charles I---Have Seen Service in Many Wars And in All Parts of the World---Dubbed . "Pontius Pilates Bodyguard." It is fitting that the Royal Scots] should be given the pride of numeri- cal precedence over all the infantry] regiments of the British army, for not one of them all has a history that can compare in length with that) of '""Douglas' Ecossals," as the Loth- fans have been happily dubbed. How far their story - stretches back into} the mists of long-dead centuries, who, shall say? For their origin is veil-| ed in mystery, and to this very ob-| gcurity the regiment owes its roman-| tic nickname of 'Pontius Pilate's| Bodyguard." | 'As long ago as the days of the! first Charles of England, before a blow was struck in the Civil War, al dispute so the legend runs, arose be-| tween the Royal Scots and a Picary| regiment as to which was the older. The men of Picardy boastfully de- clared. "We were on duty the night before the Crucifixion," to which the Scotsmen retorted scornfully, "If we had been on duty then, we should not| have slept at our posts." It was, it is said, this amusing dispute which inspired some wag at the time to dub the Royal Scots 'Pontius Pilate's Bodyguard," a"description which has stuck to them ever since. 'But, apart from such mythology, none can dispute that the 1st Foot were part of the English army as long ago as 1633, when Charles I.! had only been eight years on his throne, that their predecessors had| been fighting gallantly for several centuries before, and that their fame was great throughout Europe long! before any other British regiment] was cradled. Three centuries ago thdy were doing doughty deeds for Gustavus Adolphus, Sweden's king--- none greater than when they captur- ed for him the Pomeranian strong-| hold of Rugenwald, and held it with| a bulldog tenacity until relief came. Few of the stories of war are more | thrilling thag that which tells how| the Scotsmen, with the heroic Munro for leader, were wrecked on a hos- tile coast, some 80. miles distant from Adolphus' army; how for long hours they waited in the cave by the sea, racked with hunger and frozen by the bitter cold, until the friendiy night fell on' them, and how, under its cover, they sailed forth, and in one fierce resistless on slaught cap- tured Rugenwald, and swept the en- emy out of it with terrible slaughter. Here for nine weeks they "held their assaults until Hepburn's gallant lads hewed their way through the Ger- man hordes to their rescue, The Scots In Germany. It was Hepburn's men---every one of them a Scot--who waded waist- deep through the muddy water of the city moat, and with almost super-hu- man bravery captured Frankfort-on- Oder; and who at the battle of Leip- zig saved the day at its most critical moment by a furious eharge througi a veritable inferno of musketry fire, which scattered the enemy in ignom- inious flight. A few years later, the same warriors were covering themselves with glory in many a bat tle for France against Spaniards and Austrians. Here they were joined by other Seotsimen, who flocked to their standards from all points of the compass, until no fewer than eight thousand of them were carrying pike and sword for the French king; and from this army of Scotsmen, fighting 80 bravely, nearly 300 years ago, on foreign soil, it is said the Royal Scots of to-day have lineally sprung. What the regiment has done since it became an integral part of the British army in 1633 a glance "at their battle honors impressively tells us. The Sphinx, superscribed "Egy- pt," on its badge recalls a whole chapter of heroic deeds; it bore it- self as bravely as the bravest under Marlborough at Blenheim, Ramillies, denarde and Malplaqut.

It was in the thickest of the battle on Wa- terloo field; has won many laurels in India, China and South Africa; and wrote its name imperishably in the records of the Crimea. Indeed, the valor of the Royal Scots has so 'ranged the earth that they might well claim as their motto the one word "unique" (everywhere) which the Royal Engineers bear so proudly, Against The French. The Royal Scots have no need to of .the famous Scottish archers, who were for many centuries the body- guard of a long line of kings of France; for their later prowess un- der the British flag is their sufficient title. to fame. Who, for example, can read without a thrill of pride the story of their gallantry in the Wyne- ndale Forest a couple of centuries ago.? The 1st Foot were part of Gen. Webb's small army of 8,000 men whose duty it was to carry sup- plies to Marlborough, and when they reached the wood of Wynendale they learnt that on its apposite side was an army of 22,000 Frenchmen sent to exterminate them. So far from being daunted, however, Webb deter- mined to give fight to the enemy, though he was outnumbered by al- most three to one, and with this ob- ject to waylay the Frenchmen on their way through the wood. Concealing the bulk of his men to right and' left of the glade through which the French army must march, and stationing the remainder at its exit Webb waited for the enemy's coming. Hour after hour of tense expectation followed, before at last the French vanguard was seen ad- vancing along the avenue, with no thought of the danger that awaited them. Then, as they came within range, from every tree and bush one murdering volley after another was poured into their ranks, smitting them with such destruction that they reeled and fell back in confusion. Rallying, however, they came on again, and again the tempest of lead burst on them, mowing them down like grass, under the sweep of the scythe. Still, a third time, they pulled themselves together and, with amazing resolution and courage, be- gan to pour down the glade, and once more blast after blast of lead swept | through them, until, unable to live in such a storm of death, they broke and fled, leaving the forest glade car- peted with their dead and dying. In The American War. In later years the Royal Scots gre seen again performing prodigles of valor against heavy odds, when 2,- 800 British 'were pitted against twice the number of Americans at Lundy's Lane. Backward and for- ward the tide of battle flowad, the British now sweeping the enemy be- fore them, now be'ng rolled back, un- til. the Americans by a furious charge captured their guns and the day seemed hopelessly lost for us. But the Royal Scots had not said their last word by any means. Rushing with fierce crier to the attack, they hurled the Americans back with ter- rible slaughter, recaptured the can- non and then turned them on the en- emy al a few yards' range, blowing hundreds into fragments. So close were the opposing forces, says a chronicler, "that neither side knew to whom any partcular cannon be- longed. 'So great was the confus- fon that a British limber . actually carried off an American gun and an American a British gun." No less heroic was the part played by the Royal Scots ' when fighting against the Moors at Tangier in 1678. A small body of them, some 160 in number, had been cut off by the enemy and isolated in Fort Hen- riette, where they seemed doomed to extermination. Their fellow, hov- ever, in order to rescue them, fell on the enemy like an avalanche; and while the battle raged around the fort the isolated men took the oppor- tunity to fight their way out. With the ferocity of tigers they fought un- til 120 of them had fallen dead or wounded into the deep ditch which surrounded the fort, and it was over the bridge of their dead bodies that the 40 survivors hewed their way to safety. One more picture in this thrilling drama. In the Boer War the Royal Scots calmly awaited the Boers, mak- ing their last charge at Wepener. "Shortly, like a man in a dream, their captain gave the words, "Fix bayonets!". It was done in a trice. 'Ready! The men loaded their rifles. 'A volley, my lads, and then the steel. All together *. The whistle blows, the flame flies along the parapet. Then over the stone wall sprang the Royal Scots. Once they shouted, once only. Then the slaying began." And as the crowds of natives, watching from the neigh- boring heights, saw the bayonets of the Royal Scots scattering the enemy. four times their number, like chafr before the wind, from every savage throat, broke loud cheers which swel- led to a battle chorus, drowning the Doctor Said Sciatica-- Rheumatism--Lumbago AM it, But He Could Not Help Me, and Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. sounds of confljct--the clashing steel, the cries of rage, the groans of those smitten with death. TYRANNY IN MOROCCO. Sultan Enjoys Absolute Power Makes Things. Interesting. Motocco is riled by a Sultan who enjoys absolute power. The lives and property of his subjects are en- tirely at his mercy and command. He utters a word, and a man is pro- moted from a lowly place to one of great power and riches. He utters another word and a man is stripped of all his splendor and put to d€ath at once, or cast into prison to starve and die. The gréat ministers, the viziers, or wazeers, hold office purely at the will of the Sultan. So do the great offi- cials of the court, chief among whom is the bearer of the parasol, or um- brella, the royal insignia. When a Moorish Sultan rides forth in state there is borne over his head a great umbrella of scarlet and gold to shield him from the rays of the sun, and to be the bearer of the parasol is to hold an office of highest dignity. Other great officials are the fly-flick- er, who drives away the flies that attempt to settle on the Sultan's sacred person; the headsman, armed with a broad steel blade; the flogger, with his instrument; the spear-bear- er, though Moors carry guns, not spears, nowadays; the cushion- bearer, the tent-layer and the tea- maker. The land is divided into provinces and districts ruled by governors, un- der the title of basha and kaid, the basha being the greater man of the two. These men are often local tyrants, and they often enjoy the power of bleeding their subjects. Sometimes one goes too far, and the fierce tribesmen of the district rise dgainst him, the countryside flaming into open rebellion. If the rebellion be too widespread to be put down by the local governor the Sultan's own troops will appear on the scene, and that district will be, in the Moorish phrase, 'eaten up." The expression is literally true. The province will be swept from end to end and left desolate. Every house destroyed, every man slain or taken prisoner, every woman and child carried off into slavery, flocks and herds seized, crops burned or trodden underfoot, the troops pass on, leaving an absolute desert be- hind them. In this manner rich and flourishing districts have been emp- tied of every living creature, and left mere desolate. wastes, As the basha treats the people, so the Sultan treats the basha. Every governor has to send a yearly tribute from his province to the Sultan's treasury, and if his offering is con- sidered too small, his day of power is over; his post is taken from him and he is thrown into prison. Of- cers from court arrive to take away his treasure. His wives, the people of his household and all his goods, ar: sold in the open market to the highest bidder, and from a pinnacle of great power he pitches headlong into the pit of utter ruin, This change: gives the greatest de- light to the people whom he has oppressed. 'One day, perhaps, a basha rides through the streets in all his splendor, his troops guarding him, and all who meet him bowing low before him, and deeming it a great honor to be allowed to kiss the hem of his rich silken robe. The next day he may be dragged through the same streets by a common sol- dier, a rope about his neck, his rich robes torn from his back, pelted with filth by the people who bowed low to him the day before, and followed by jeers and laughter as he is hauled off to prison. The Score, Brown was an enthusiastic golfer. When he wasn't playing golf he was talking golf, and between those inter- vals he happily dreamed of putts and drives. One day Brown ran across an elderly preacher from his boyhood and town. "By the way, Mr. James," said he, after many reminiscenses had been exchange, "I must ask you about those three old maid sisters who used to live on the main street. I suppos- ed they never left Milltown." "Ophelia and Phoebe went to heav- én about two years ago," answered the parson impressively, 'but Lucy is 'still in Milltown." "I see," musingly rejoined the golf enthusiast, "two up and one to go." penta ere When Compositors Had It Easy.

Pre mmm SOUTH SEA PEARLING. Ome Industry In Which Machinery Is Not Permitted. The world has at least ong locality, as it has at least one industry, in which machinery, and even the sim- plest mechanical appliance, is not permitted, through the agency of pro- hibitive rules, to obtain ascendercy over hand work and primitive meth- ods of labor. The locality is the Tua- motu or Low Archipelago, composed of 87 coral atolls, about 100 miles eastward of Tahiti; the industry is the pearl fisheries of the archipelago, the finest pearls in the South Pacific being found In the waters adjacent to these islands, ns well as consider- able quantities of the so-called black- edge mother-of-pearl shell much used in commerce. . There are about 3,500 divers and these are practically all native Poly- nesians. None, but French citizens may engage in this business of French Oceania. The use of any diving ma- chine or other scientific apparatus of any kind whatever is absolutely for- bidden, the equipment of the diver being strictly confined to a pair of large goggles, a loin cloth, a rope and a weight. The goggles are for protection from the salt water, enabl- ing the diver to see clearly. In the early morning, launches tow long strings of outrigger canoes, sometimes 20 to 25, out to the div- ing grounds. Entire families travel to the scene of operations, taking their day's provisions as well as their dogs and other pets along. The divers use manila rope, one end of which is fastened securely to the anchored canoe, while the other is attached a weight of from 22 te 26 pounds. When ready to descend he takes two or three long breaths to expand his lungs, fills his lungs with air, takes hold of the weighted rope, jumps in and he is carried to the bot- tom. There he lets go of the rope and collects the shell, which is placed in a woven basket made from #sh net. This basket holds from 66 to 77 pounds of shell and takes several dives to fill, as the diver can remain under water only one to three min- utes at a time. When the basket is filled it is drawn into the canoe and the shells are opened. Native divers descend to consider- able depths, more than 130 feet being frequently attained, but. shell is not infrequently picked from the rocks in water not more than four to six feet in depth, although the amount thus obtained comparatively small. The law requires that all shell be opened before landing and the con- tents, excepting the mussel itself, which the finder is privileged to eat, be thrown back into the sea to re- plenish the beds. The outside of the shell must, likewise, be scraped and all foreign growths removed and thrown into the water, Failure to comply with these requirements ren- ders the offender liable to a severe ne. Only shells having a diameter of at least 10 centimeters (about four inches) may be retained, but this measurement may be taken across any portion of the shell. If it falls even a fraction short of the uired diameter the shell must be back. Violation of this law is punish- able by seizure of the entire outfit-- shells, and Fe ih § i Ei ¥ 4 E and was dropped by those of higher social standing.
