Jenny Qeddes. Of the memolres that gather around St. Olios' cathedral. Edinburgh, none Is more chsrtshed by ths Scotsman than the story of Jenny Oeddea. Charles I* determined to force epis copacy, commanded that on July 23, 1?37, the. Bngtlsh church servloe should be read In every parish church In Scotland. On that Sunday a great crowd gathered In Bt. Olles, and when Dean Hannay, In a ajirplicd. began to read the prayers such a commotion ensued that his voice was drowned. One voice, how?frsr, rose above ths din ? Jenny Oeddes. "Outl Outl" she cried. "Does the false loon mean to say hia black mass at my lugT" And ssdslnjr her stool shf1 threw It at ths head of the astonished dean. Thers followed such an uproar that the ear* vice had to be abandoned. In modern and more peaceful times this event, momentous In Its outcome, has been commemorated by two me mortal tablets In the cathedral. One , Is to Dean Hannay, the other, erected by Lord President Inglls, Is to ths memory of "a brave Scotswoman, , Janet peddes, who on July 28, 1637, struck the first blow In the great . struggle for freedom of conscience, which after a conflict of half a cen tury, ended in the establishment ol civil and religious liberty." He's Recuperating Now. Twaa Friday afternoon, and the ed itorial staff were Jiard at work, when suddenly the pen of the chief sub editor ceased Its Inky scamper.

"Ballo^natlo," . euggeated the story ette. editor, with a suspicious glanc? toward the fighting editor. "Aeronaut's the right word," said the man who writes the paragraphs, decisively, "and I can prove It" "Nonsense 1" growled the staff is chorus. "You can't!" "Of course I can! You see, iff this pvt.- When a man goes up In a balloon ho goes up la the air. But aa a matter of Hack he doesn't know whether he'll remain In the alr-or-not fleet" Wben the curtain fell the fighting editor Was furtively stalking that pooi paragraph editor, and In his hand h? held his new club.

"I honestly believe," he said, "that I get more fun out of life because I am nearsighted. The fun more than compensates for the nuisance of wear ing glasses.. ^ .4. j f "When I look out over a landscape from a mountain top 1 often take my glasses off: I see nothing but color.
