A X Atlanta man Is the possessor
of the most valuable private
collection of the works of Rob
ert Burns and associated literature in
America. This collection, assembled
by literary agents and by a devoted
personal search In two continents, is
the property of Dr. Joseph Jacobs, of
Atlanta, known through the South as
i he owner of an extensive chain of
drug stores.
Dr. Jacobs is a Robert Burns en
thusiast of the highest degree. So
completely has love for “Bobbie,”
Burns and the human philosophy of
Bobbie” Burns entered his life, that
he is never without the soft-backed
volume of the poems. Yesterday,
when The Sunday American reporter
found him in his office on Marietta
Street, he was writing a business let
ter, and at one hand lay open a
volume of Burns' poems. In the
letter was transcribed a quotation
from the Scottish poet.
The soft-backed volume is rarely
missing from his pocket or his desk.
Dr. Jacobs and some of his rare Burnsiana. At the top is shown a pile of old editions of
(lie works of Robert Burns, the total value of which will reach ifo.OOU. At the left is shown
a fae-simile of a title page of Tam O'Shanter in Burns' own handwriting. Below are the title
pages of two very rare editions.
It. has been with him around the
world.
All that is why he has gathered
w hat is probably the greatest private
collection of Burns in the United
States.
Dr. Jacobs modestly admits that the
collection of the late William Smith,
botanist of the Smithsonian Institu
tion and protege of Andrew Carne
gie, far exceeds his in value and va
riety. But, with the death of Smith,
that surpassing collection found ks
way into a public library, leaving the
possessions of the Atlanta man prob
ably alone as a private collection.
Gets Ross Scrapbooks.
Last week, when Dr. Jacobs,
through his literary broker, came into
the scrapbooks of the late Peter Ross,
of X'ew York, he strengthened the po
sition of his collection in its claim
to be the first. Peter Ross, LL. D.,
and his brother, John D. Ross, of New
Yqrk, were Burns scholars and edi
tors of rare ability and energy. In
the scrapbooks which came to Dr.
Jacobs they kept clippings from news
paper and magazine articles covering
every phase of the Burns question.
One scrapbook, for Instance, is full
of clippings regarding alleged Burns
forgeries. Another considers only' ar
ticles concerning statues and por
traits of Burns. The clippings of an
other book deal only with the letters
and manuscripts of Burns. Another
only philological studies in the geog
raphy of Burns’ writings.
The scrapbooks are invaluable, as
are the other details of the Jacobs
collection. Dr. Jacobs would not at
tempt to estimate the value of his
Burnsiana.
The collection is stored in the
library of the Jacobs horn" at 713
Peachtree Street. Thither Dr. Jacobs
led The American reporter and
proudly revealed his literary treas
ures.
The corner of the library devoted
to the Burns collection is given a.
distinctive air by a large bust of the
poet. The bust, fashioned from white
marble, was purchased in London by
Dr. Jacobs, hi the course of a tri?
abroad. ,
Spirit Pervades Library.
The spirit of Burns pervades the
entire library. The bookmark of Dr.
Jacobs, supplying the stamp of own
ership of every book in the consid
erable library, is of classic design,
showing the figure of Robert Burns
at the plow'. In one hand of the
plowboy is a bunch of daisies, over
w'hich Bobbie bands his head as if
in meditation. The other hand rests
lightly and diffidently on the plow
handle.
So much for the stamp of the avo-
A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY.
The tender word unspoken.
The letters never sent.
The long-forgotten messages.
The wealth of love unspent—
For those some hearts ale breaking
For these some loved ones wait,
So show them that you care for
them
Before it is too late.
FRECKLES
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots.
There's no longer the slightest need
of feeling ashamed of your freckles,
as the prescription othine—double
strength—is guaranteed to remove
these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce of othine—dou
ble strength—from Jacobs’ Pharmacy,
and apply a little of it night and
morning and you should soon see that
even the worst freckles have begun to
disappear, while the lighter ones have
vanished entirely. It is seldom that
more than an ounce is needed to
completely clear the skin and gain a
beautiful clear complexion
Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine, as this is sold unoer
guarantee of money back if it fails
to remove freckles.

Love for Burns and for the things
pertaining to Burns has impelled the
Atlanta man to scour England and
Scotland, as well as the United States,
in the search for something, any
thing, concerning his literary idol.
Never does he stop day or two in a
city of any size or of promising an
tiquary shops, he confesses, but he
begins to look.
“America I find an easier field for
such work of collection,” he said yes
terday, “than the Old Country. There
the collectors have worked with an
energy and a thoroughness that has
well nigh exhausted the field. In
America it is different, and the com
petition is not so keen. I find better
results in this country.”
And yet he has picked up treasures
in England and Scotland. He showed,
for example, a fat, short volume, its
back rusty brown leather, the edges of
its leaves discolored with generations
of unheeded dust—altogether one of
those volumes with a delicious air of
antiquity and value. On its fly leaf
was the date of publication, 1804.
Thousands Overlooked It.
“I found this in a London book stall,
in full display of ten thousand per
sons every day,” he said.
As he handled it and fondled it—
he always fondles his books as he
touches them—there was a proud
smile on his face that made unneces
sary! his attempted explanation of the
thrill that came to him when he found
it.
Other tokens of antiquity, priceless
tokens, in the collection of Dr. Ja
cobs, are replicas of the Kilmarnock
edition of 1786, the earliest publica
tion of Burns’ poems, edited by the
poet himself; replicas of the Creech
edition, also edited by Burns; the
Currie edition; the original of the
famous 1798 edition.
Then follow originals of editions
published in 1801, 1802, 1803, 1804, and
on until a gorgeous de luxe edition
of 1912.
Of the Kilmarnock and Creech edi
tions, faithful replicas of whiph Dr.
Jacobs owns, there are only few orig
inals extant. Proof of their rarity
exists in the valuation of $25,000 or
$30,000 that is set on each volume.
The replica in__the possession of Dr.
Jacobs, of courSe, has nothing like
that value in money, but historically
is almost beyond appraisal.
Editions of Bums’ poetry and his
letters and other documents com
pose the smallest part cs* the Burns
collection in the Jacobs library.
Everything that has any bearing on
the life or work of Robert Burnt is
HOW BURNS WON DR.
JACOBS
H ERE is one verse from the
poem that made Dr. Jacobs
a Burns disciple, a verse typ
ical of the entire poem, which is
rather long:
‘'The fear of hell’s a hangman’s
whip,
To haud the wretch in order;
But where ye feel your honour
9 r 'P.
Let that be aye your border:
Its slightest touches, instant
pause—
Debar a’ side pretences;
And resolutely keep its laws,
Uncaring consequences.”
there. Volumes tell about Burns and
his relation to the Masons, and take
up the dispute as to his station among
.he Masons. Burns’ religion, his fa
ther’s religion, his ancestry, his con
troversies. his letters, his love affairs
—Dr. Jacobs has volume after volume
about them all.
In Twenty Language*.
He has editions of the Burns poetry
in 20 languages. He has the music
which has been set to the songs of
Burns, and copies of paintings which
famous masters have made through
the inspiration of the Scottish bard.
In tlie collection of prints are repre
sented Landseer, Scott, Nasmyth,
Harvey and a dozen others. There
are etchings also.
Many of the pictures are on the
walls of the library, together with
framed facsimiles of actual manu
scripts of the poet. The spirit of
Burns is in the Jacobs library.
Among the most valuable posses
sions of the Atlanta enthusiast are a
number of copies of limited editions.
One. especially, is valuable. It was
published by Gebbie, of Philadelphia,
at the instance of Andrew Carnegie,
who paid most of the cost of the edi
tion. Only 50 copies wqre issued.
There are Burns books in plaid
bindings, reminiscent of the Scottish
book stalls where they were bought.
There are big books and little books,
one tremendous volume weighing
nearly 20* pounds, and a tiny edition
measuring about an inch by an inch
and a half. The collection is complete.
Glossaries, concordances, geographies,
everything.
Dr. Jacobs has been collecting his
Burnsiana for about fifteen years. He
was inspired to love for Burns through
a friend who was an enthusiast and
through that friend’s favorite poem.
It is Burns’ “Epistle to a Young
Friend.”
“That is one of the greatest ser
mons in the world!” exclaimed Dr.
Jacobs, enthusiastically, yesterday.
Formed a Burns Club.
Dr. Jacobs was the founder of the
Burns Club of Atlanta. 17 years ago.
The club is unique, being not a club
of Scotchmen, but of Burns lovers.
Its members have erected a replica
df the Burns cottage at Ayr, and,
standing in South Atlanta, the Burns
cottage is one of the city’s show
places.
In the back of a favorite volume
of poems are the minutes of the first
meeting of the Burns Club of At
lanta, hold in the Hotel Aragon in
1896. Present were W. L. Calhoun.
Donald M. Bain, Hamilton Douglas,
W. Geppert, R. H. Bell, Alex W.
Beeler, P. J. Mefford, John Stratton,
Joseph Jacobs, Amos Fox, James Mc
Whorter, Harry Silverman, Alex
Meyers, Robert Douglas.
It was love for Robert Burns, rather
than patriotism for Scotland, that in
spired the club. The Burns Club
exists. a flourishing organization
after 17 years, where strictly Scot
tish organizations have not survived
in Atlanta.
“We are not Scotchmen out there,”
said Dr Jacobs. “We are lovers of
the most human poet, the most lova
ble figure In literature, ami a man.”
Dr. Jacobs makes occasional jour
neys to the many Burns shrines in
Scotland. And he always observes
the birthday of his poet. This year
he was in Honolulu on *the day when
the Burns Club of Atlanta was hav
ing a jubilant celebration. His cable
to them in Atlanta did not satisfy his
desire to observe the day. He trav
eled 200 miles, he said, to find a par
ty of kindred souls who could talk
Burns and recite Burns, and adore
Burns as the lovers of no other lit
erary men can.
Army Tyranny in
Russia
Russia like Germany is suffering
from the fact that its army officers
consider themselves a privileged
claas whom mere civilians dare not
answer back if it suits an officer to
insult them and in Russia as well as
in Germany the Government invar
iably takes ideas with the officer.
Recently, an intoxicated army offi
cer of St. Petersburg called a medi
cal student a loafer and a hoodlum
and the student quickly replied by
knocking down the offender, who, fu
rious at the laughing remarks of the
passers-by, drew his sword and killed
the student. For this murder he was
simply punished by a few weeks’ im
prisonment in quarters, which means
that Instead of drilling soldiers at the
barracks he may now spend all day
smoking, drinking and gambling in
his comfortable apartments, while of
course receiving rull pay.
The only other resuh of the inci
dent was that the minister of war
General Koukhamhnoff issued an or
der that all medical students must
salute officers, as if they were pri
vates in . the army.
The students ore up the order
when it was pasted at the Medical
Academy and thereupon went out and
deliberately disobeyed the order. Vs
a result the Medical Academy of St.
Petersburg is now closed.
There should be no such thing as
continued misfortune.
You will think that, as it stands
the wildest of statement?, but let mo
explain, though I do not mean to qual
ify my assertion.
As pain is a warning signal that
all is not well with our bodies, so
misfortune (so-called) signifies un
mistakably that something has gone
wrong with our inner selves, and in
both cases we must at once find a
cure.
At the first shock of finding some
apparently Insurmountable obstacle in
the path where we believed all was
clear, let us take stock of ourselves
and our surroundings, draw a deep
breath, and make up our minds to
conquer our troubles.
That we,—or you (to make my re
marks more direct, without dissociat
ing myself in any way from my read
ers)—what you plainly and emphati
cally must not do is to shut your
eyes to the changed course of your
life, and pretend there is no stone in
your way, when there it lies plain
for all the world to see.
Obstacles are meant for us to over
come, not to overcome us. You can
roll that stone from your path if you
set your shoulder against it and give
it a mighty heave.
You can climb over it if you take
the hatchet of perseverance and hack
away at the hard stone until you
have made footholds/whereby to sur
mount it.
In plain words, you can always “find
a way,” like Barrie’s “Tommy,” if you
set vonr hands and your wits to work
hard enough.
And when you have vanquished
“misfortune,” what a triumph is
yours! How much stronger you are
how much better you understand your
own powers—how much safer and
saner the world seems!
“The worst has happened,” you
say.
Well, is there not comfort in that?
You know the worst—it i« not in
death,— it is not a dark, unexplained,
vague-looming possibility.
It is a thing you feel you can weigh
and handle; it has no more terrors
for you; nothing more painful or dis
astrous can ever happen. You have
touched bottom—and must rise up
again.
It is stupid, craven and cowardly
to lie flat on your face beaten and
“don.” You cannot wonder if pas
sers-by shrug their shoulders when
they see you making no effort to
move.
They, too, have suffered, they, too.
have fallen, but they got up-slowly,
painfully. They crawled a little way,
then struggled to their knees, and at
last rose,*to their feet and walked
erect like “men.
It is useless to cry out in denial,
and complain, “Woe is me! No one
ever suffered as 1 do!
How do you know? The cherriest
soul you meet may have passed
through the fire and come out
strengthened and purified long before
your own time of trial. Even the
scars of her burning have vanished,
but in her heart she remembers the
pain of the ordeal, and it is in sym
pathy, not in scorn, she bide you
arise and walk upright.
One begin to think of your difficul
ties and trials as “misfortunes”—that
is to say. as evil chances beyond your
self, past your power to prevent and
overcome—and you will find strength
has gono from you—you are content
to remain where you lie.
Get up and go on! Try to under
stand the lesson life wants to teach
you. Accept the fact that you are a
child in a stern school who is pun
ished sternly until you endeavor to
master the task set before you.
Accept the fact that the world la
not—and rightly—a bed of roses. Can
you think of anything more enervat
ing than a life of perfect smoothness
and ease? If from the very first you
could discern a choice of two ways—
one rough and stormy, the other per
fectly smooth and tranquil—should
you not decide upon walking the
stormy road which makes you strong?
Would you not fee! yourself likely to
develop into a better specimen of man
and woman than if you were treated
as a pampered child?
Oh. we are making a dreadfully
fatal mistake If we sit down and idly
bewail our misfortunes instead of
fighting against them.
If misfortune has come your way,
reader, and threatens to overwhelm
you, take three rules to heart, and
jet me know if before long they do
not whisper of hope in the darkness:
1. Look facts in the face.
2. Decide what It Is you have done
wrong.
3. No matter what sacrifice it in
volves, take the shortest and straight-
est way out of it.
A Scrambled Novel
M. Anatole France has confided to
an interviewer that he finds the pub
lic by no means critical of form in
novel. “Soon after ’Sur la Pierre
Blanche’ began to appear in serial
form, I v ent on a long holiday,” says
M. France.” and before leaving Paris
I split my manuscript into a num
ber of portions, each exactly the
right length for a daily instalment.
I bore these to the newspaper office,
and saw them carefully arranged in
separate pigeon-holes. Unfortunate
ly, the printer who had to extract
the instalments day by day look them
iri vertical instead of horizontal or
der, so that they appeared without
any suggestion of sequence. Appar
ently, incoherent writing shocks few
people nowadays for only a small
proportion of my readers protested
against the disjointed form of publi
cation.”
Champerty and Barratry
C HAMPERTY is a
between a hiwy
•Uent as to the
of a suit.
Barratry is the uct
groundless actions at law in order
to coerce, embarrass, annoy and fi
nally compel the defendant to dis
gorge rather than suffer publicity
in matters often innocent and Ir
relevant.
Lawyers are nominal attaches of
the court.
The original business of the law
yer was to inform the Uourt of the
truth of the situation, so that the
actual ficts In the case could be
gotten a: quickly and a. urately.
There was a time when lawyers
were paid exactly as judges an
paid—by the State.
The business of the Court is to
see that justice is administered and
that the rights of the people arc
protected.
To this end the Court appointed
an attorney for the plaintiff and
one for the defense, and these in
dividuals explained the circum
stances to the Court and put the
matter in the simplest, plainest
way possible.
Meaning of Tip.
In the course of time it wa« dis
covered that litigants, in order to
secure the zealous and undivided
services cf the lawyer, resorted to
a fee or “tip”—T. T. P., meaning
“To Insure Progress.”
This, at first, was regarded as
much a misdemeanor as to fee a

judge. It was tampering with the
I Court.
Then came the custom of having
S a pockfit or poor box on the back of
every lawyer, in a place that he
I could not reach. This rudiment
ary pocket still survives on the
robes worn by tl, lawyers In Eng-
| fish courts. It is a little like the
buttons on a Prince Albert, that
! once served to hold the sword belt,
1 or the buttons on your coat alcevo
; that heid your gauntlets in place.
The client had the privilege of
, showing his goodwill and apprecia
tion by slipping something In the
pocket “unbeknownst” to the law- j
yer.
However, when everybody does a <
thing it is impossible to punish for
| it. In fact, 1f we were all guilty
| of crime, we could not all be rent
; to the penitentiary, otherwise there
| would be nobody to run the busi
ness of the world; and. in fact, no
body to run the ■:ourts.
So when a thing becomes univer
sal it is legal.
And gradually it became legal for
the client to feo his lawyer. Then
the State quit paying lawyers, and
now we get the universal plan of
the lawyer being paid by the man
who hires him.
Forbidden Practise*. *
However, when thts custom was
legalized, there were two practises
that a lawyer was forbidden to in
dulge in. One of them was cham
perty and the other was barratry.
If a lawyer begins a trumped-up
action in order to force somebody
e )
into paying damages he is guilty
of barratry.
Champerty and barratry were
both once punished exactly on a
par with briber/, conspiracy and
blackmail.
Occasionally there is a lawyer
who becomes offensive, even to his
colleagues. Barratry then becomes
grounds for disbarment.
There are lawyers who keep dear
of both champerty and barratry but
they are comparatively rare. On
the other hand, there arc lawyers
whose entire business is based on
contingent fee*. Such men actual
ly and technically belong to the
criminal class.
Suits by the score are brought
where the plainLifT does not verify
the complaint.
Three-fourths of the time or most
of the higher trial courts is taken
up with damage suits. And most
of these damage suits are taken on
contingent fees.
Champerty and barratry are very
difficult offenses to prove.
A Great Discovery.
The greatest discovery of mod
ern timer is the fact that honesty
in business pays.
In the practice of law few law
yers comparatively are alive to thp
ethical proposition that truth is an
asset and a lie a liability.
Men \ 111 do anything that it is to
their interest to do. and they will
continue doing it as long as they
think it pays.
This tendency is fixed in the hu
man heart as - part of the great
law of preservation. And as long
as lawyers are allowed to make
money through champerty and bar
ratry they will continue violating
the oath they took when they were
admitted to the bar.

GRACE 8.—You will never get rid of
blackheads by using a blood tonic.
Blackheads are purely local and you
need a local treatment. I have tried
various things for thi» stubborn beauty-
destroyer, but my following formula is
the only one which has proved suc

First wash the face with hot water
and soap. Then sprinkle some neroxin
generously upon a sponge made wet with
hot water. Then rub well for a few
minutes on the parts of the skin which
are effected with blackheads. This done,
bathe the face with warm water, and
dry. You should be able to secure the
neroxin at any druggist’s for fifty cents.
