secret perfected ever period of SO tor prompt. flirjMnt proven relief Would not a student of American history thrill to the discovery of a first-hand report of his homeland in an old diary written by some foreign adventurer? That's the way William C. Briggs felt when he made such a discovery on a visit to Scotland last fall. The city's former atting postmaster recently returned to Rhinelander after a year of foreign travel. Briggs came in contact with the diary while visiting the 2,000 acre sheep ranch of Col.

E. F. Campbell of Lockgilphead. Scotland, lying 100 miles north of Glasgow and 20 miles by sea from Ireland. One evening Briggs and Col.

Campbell visited Mrs. Donald M. Campbell, whose grandfather. Malcolm Kerr. had fought under Gen.

Grant in the American Civil War' Briggs learned that Malcolm Kerr. who later returned to Scotland, had kept a diary of his stay in America A remarkable feature of the diary was that Kerr had written it all in verse. July 4, 1862. In one entry, Briggs discovered KBIT'S impression of a Fourth of July celebration in De Pere. in the year 18G3.

Briggs copied this entry. In the poem printed below. Ken- refers to himself as "Scotty." The Fourth of July speaker is' named "Jonathan." The contents of the poem reveal much ill-feeling against Kerr because of his British citizenship despite the fact he fought for the Union. To understand this feeling, it must remembered that the Union was violently opposed to Great Britain since that government supported the Confederacy. This was due, to the English cotton mill owners who imported cheap cotton from the South and therefore were in support of the southern cause.

Briggs regreted the lack of time in which to copy the entire diary of Malcolm; Kerr. He felt it would be worth much to historians if it were circulated in this country. The copied entry is as'follows: Twelve strikes, the Fourth is ushered in. With cannons roar and Yankee din. A crowd is yelling in the street.

All frantic with the coming fete. Your you drew. From that fond parent whom you curse can be worse? But now. the sun shines overhead. Get up.

poor Briton, from your bed. Go forth in holiday attire, And view your country in the mire. Take notes, but mind you nothing say. For this is a peculiar day. Now, for the picnic in the wood.

Two dollars, be it understood Will gain admittance to the stand Where Jonathan may Britain band. Oh, what a sight of meat and drink And rowdy crowds who never think. And callow citizens, so Wise Who all folkes save themselves despise. Now, to the grandstand for a puff. Sure, all know Jonathan enough.

Strain all your senses on yon pug Who belches forth sublime humbug. Vile Briton, meekly hang your head. While Independence Act is read. You hear that, do you British cow? What think you of your old home now? Said an old Yank, who by my side, Surveyed the scene around with pride. Mrs.
