A N Atlanta man ta 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 the 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 Bobble” 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-banked volume is rarely missing from his pocket or his desk. li has been with him around the w orld. All that Is why he has gathered what Is probably the greatest private collection of Burns in the United States. Dr. Jacobs modestly admits that t'ne 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 hs way into a public library, leaving the possessions of the Atlanta man prob ably alone as a private collection. Gets Ross Scrapbooks. Last week, v. hen Dr. Jacobs, through his literary broker, came into the scrapbooks of the late Peter Ross, of New 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 York, 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, is 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 home 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, in the course of a trig abroad. Spirit Pervades Library. The spirit of Burns pervades the entire librarv. 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 which Bobbie bends his head as if in meditation. The other hand rest3 lightly and diffidently on the plow handle. _ , So much for the stamp oT the avo- FRECKLES I Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These Ugly Spots.

In the upper corner of the design is the representation of Aesculapius, father of medicine, and below is the picture of crucibles and retorts and instruments of healing. 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 th e 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 hooks 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 possession of Dr. Jacobs, of course, has nothing like that value in money, but historically is almost beyond appraisal. Editions of Burns’ poetry and his letters and other documents com pose the smallest part the Burns collection in the Jacobs library. Everything that has any bearing on the life or work of Robert Burns 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 grip, 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 the Masons. Bums’ 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 Languages. He has editions of the Bums poetry in 20 languages. He has the music which lias been set to the songs of Burns, and copies of paintings which famous masters have made through the inspiration of the Scottish bard. In the 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 w’as published by Gebbie, of Philadelphia, at the instance of Andrew Carnegie, who paid most of the cost of the edi tion. Only 50 copies were 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 Burnclana 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 of the Burns cottage at Ayr, and, standing in South Atlanta, the Burns cottage is one of the city’s show places. In the hack of a favorite volume of poems are the minutes of the first meeting of the Burns Club of At lanta, held 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, and a man.” Dr. Jacobs makes occasional Jour neys to the many Burns shrines in Scotland. Anri 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, lie 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 class whom mere civilians dare not answer hack 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 o" course receiving :ull pay. The only other result of the inci dent was that the minister of war General Houkhamlinoff issued an or der that all medical students must salute officers, as if they were pri vates in the army. The f.ludents tore up the order when it was pasted at the Medical Academy and thereupon went out and deliberately disobeyed the order. As a result the Medical Academy of St. Petersburg is now closed. i 1 / There Should Be Noj Continued Misfortune By MARY CHAMPION. A THOUGHT FOR TO-DAY. The tender word unspoken, The letters never sent. The long-forgotten messages. The wealth of love unspent— For these some hearts are breaking For these some loved ones wait, So show them that you care for them Before it id too late. There should be no such thing as continued misfortune. You will think that, as it stands the wildest of statements, but let me 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 ir. both cases we must at once find a cure. At the first shock of finding some apparently Insurmountable obstacle in the path where w r e 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 sec. Obstacles are meant for us to over come, not to overcome us. You can roil 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 your 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 sarer and saner the world seems! "The worst has happened,” you say. Well, is there not comfort in that? You know the worst—it is 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 ban 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 malting 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 I 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 1h 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 gone 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 is 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 either per fectly smooth and tranquil—should you not decide upon walking the stormy road which makes you strong? Would you hot feel yourself likely to develop into a better specimen of man end woman than If you were treated as a pampered child? Oh, we are making a dreadfully fatal mistake 1f we sit clown and idly bewail our misfortunes Instead of fighting against them. If misfortune has come your way, reader, and threatens to overwhelm yo.u, take three rules to heart, and let me know if before long they do not whisper of hope *n 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 those 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 took them In 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 rgalnat the disjointed form of publi cation.” 5 E Champerty and Barratry By ELBERT HUBBARD (Copyright, 1913, International News Service ) C HAMPERTY is Ti partnership between a lawyer and his i ’llent as to the final result of a suit. Barratry is the act of bringing 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 Court of the truth of the situation, so that the actual facts in the case could be gotten at quickly and accurately. There was a time when lawyers were paid exactly as Judges are paid -by the State. The business of the Court is to see that justice 1* administered and that the rights of the people arc protected. To tills 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 was dis covered that litigants, in order to secure the zealous and undivided services of the lawyer, resorted to u fee or “tip”—T. 1. P., meaning “To Insure Progress.” This, at first, was regarded as much «i misdemeanor as to fee a Judge. It was tampering with the Court. Then came the custom of having a pocket or poor box on the buck of every lawyer, in a place that he could not reach. This rudiment- | ary pocket still survives on the J i robes worn by th lawyers in Eng- I lish courts. It is a little like the i buttons on a Prince Albert, that j once served to hold the sword belt, or the buttons or. your coat sleeve that held 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- yor. However, when everybody does a thing It Is impossible to punish for it. In fact, If we were all guilty of ( rime, we could not all be sent to the penitentiary, otherwise there would be nobody to run the busi ness of the world; and, In fact, no body to run the courts. So when a thing becomes univer sal it is legal. And gradually it became legal for the client to fee 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 this 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 into paying damages he is guilty of- barratry. I Champerty and barratry were both once punished exactly on a par with bribery, conspiracy and blackmail. Occasionally there is a lawyer who becomes offensive, even to his colleagues. Barratry then becomes grounds for disburment. There are lawyers w ho keep clear of both champerty and barratry but they are comparatively rare. On the other hand, there are lawyers whose entire business is based on contingent fees. Such men actual ly and technically belong to the criminal class. Suits by the score are brought where the plaintiff does not verify the complaint. Three-fourths of the time of most of the higher trial courts is taken up with damage suits. And most of yiese 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 the ethical proposition that truth is an asset and a lie a liability. Men v ill 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 a 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. You Can Easily N Marvel of A Complexion Secrets Which Give Startling Results and Which You Will Never Find in Books. By VALES KA SUR ATT. the Wonderful Actress, Famed for Her Self-Made Beauty. U TITHIN the past two months, sines W 1 began to unravel my beauty secrets in these columns, I have marveled at the things that many wom en resort to in their anxious quest for beauty. The inquiries 1 have received have literally been moving pictures of every conceivable kind of theory and method, from lemon-juice to buttermilk and diet. Another part of my mail gives me proof that my efforts to put my sisters right upon the question of beauty have not been In vain. I cer tainly must have exploded many wrong and foolish ideas. Among the articles 1 have received is a book of Lessons on Beauty, printed wav hack in the eighties My inquirer asked me to read it and tell her whether or not the suggestions If contained would he proper to follow. Shades of Coquelin! There staring me in the face were al most identical, sometimes impossible suggestions one sees so generally set down nowadays by those who know least about this intricate art. And so it goes. Threadbare, rancid recipes of old, a thousand times repeated down through the modem, backward years. Small wonder it is that as one prome nades the street, hundreds of faces of miserable hue and of stubborn blemish S lare. at you as though trying to snatch espalringly from the clear ruby of your rosy cheek some beauty hint for them selves. Why, you would think every woman should be beautiful by this time. I say every woman can and I have cer tainly proved It. But it surely is Im possible by the use of many of the old- fashioned present-day preparations. I cannot make public hero all the letters I receive in commendation of the sug gestions I have given so far. but It gives my heart a thrill of pleasure to read them and makes me feel like living forever just to make every woman beau tiful.

After bathing in the morning, hold a wet, hot towel to the face several times for several minutes. Rub this cream on the entire face liberally, at the same time pinching the skin all over. The trouble with most users la, that they use too little of the cream. Plaster It on thick and rub It. In well. That is one of the secrets too. Let the cream dry and apply your com plexion powder.
