It WBS founded in. tho 12th century by David I ol' Scotland. Almost totally destroyed by Edward II. of Scotland and rebuilt by Robert Bruce in the 14th century, race's heart is burled there, brought back from foreign lands, after his death.

Alexander II lies near il, near the location of the High Altar. The main part of the ruins now consist the choir, late Gothic in architecture, with slender columns, carved capitols, fine vaultings, freely embellished traceries for the. windows. Melrose shared the fate of all abbeys cathedrals during the reformation and was sadly; defaced. Cromwell and his Puritans, re gard- ins the images which adorned these places oi worship as leagued with Satan and iniquity, made short work of them.

Time has also added to the ruin of those days and these old places are mere vestiges of former grand- lire and attactiveness.

It will be well fbr-tho people generally, to read and pay attention to the notice published in tho Monitor by tho Board of Public Works, warning everyone not to hitch horses to or dot'oco or in anyway interfere with tho posts erected for tho electric lighta on Reed and Coates streets. Anything or nnyono that commits any act which will injure tho posts or interfere with tho proper transmis sion of tho electric current will be compelled to pay tho damages result ing therefrom. This applies to hitching horses or teams to tho posts, posting bills there on, or climbing tho posts as many boys are inclined to do in a spirit of bravado. There is an element of danger, too, connected with such acts as in the event of a grounded wire a dan gerous shock may follow to tho person who attempts to handle or touch tho posts.

Tho Board of Public Works is determined to protect this property and issues tho warning for two reasons. One to protect the property, the other to protect tho individual. There aro two ordinances now In force, which amply protect the public property of the city. One is section: 1 of an ordinance of the city relating, to the protection of buildings, fenced; and otlier property of the city w.hich constitutes a misdemeanor and carries a penalty, The other, an ordinance in regard to city property in alleys arid streets and public grounds and parks. Either of these meet the requirements and provide a penalty to fit the case.

So if you do not want to get into trouble, keep away from the electric poles. This is a warning in two senses. One to avoid danger, the other to avoid prosecution for injuring or interfering with public property. Mrs. Delia Edwards, better known as Delia Williams, has returned to Fulton as her health hero.

His collection of antiques In the armory and drawing room, show how thoroughly antiquarian was his tendency. Of great interest are the family and other portraits and the curios accumulated connected with Mary, Queen of Scots.

As his fame increased and his revenue fronv'hts poems and Waverly novels grew, he added to the grounds and began the design of his mansion, all the details of which ho perfected himself. The estate is now over 1000 acres. It was nearly lost by his connection with a publishing house which failed late in Sir Walter's life and left him saddled with a debt of $650,000. He began an-effort to lift tho debt by producing new literary works and succeeded in lifting $500,000 of the amount, but the work was too great and he succumbed to apoplexy.
