A FEROCIOUS EARL
Alexander of Buchan, Known a« the
“Wolf of Badenoch.”
During the restoration of Dunkeld
cathedral the workmen unearthed the
remains of Bishop Sinclair, one of
those who assisted In the building of
the cathedral, and of the notorious
Alexander, earl of Buchan, whose fe¬
rocity won for him the significant
title of the “wolf of Badenoch.” A
memorial marks the spot where the
“wolf’ was buried, and it has often
been a subject of remark by visitors
that a man who plundered churches
and In various ways showed his hatred
of the clergy should have been laid
to rest side by side with bishops and
other high ecclesiastics.
Alexander, earl of Buchan, was a
younger son of Robert II. of Scotlandu
During the closing years of the
ter’s reign the chief powers In the
state were delegated to his sens, the
earls of Fife and Buchan, and after
the accession of Robert III., an amia¬
ble but weak prince, this unfortu¬
nate delegation was allowed to be con¬
tinued. The Earl of Buchan ruled
over the northern part of Scotland
with an authority little less than re¬
gal, He has been described as scarce¬
ly better than a savage—cruel, fero¬
cious and relentless. Among his ex¬
ploits was the destruction of the mag¬
nificent cathedral of Elgin. He car¬
ried off the chalices and vestments,
polluted the shrines with blood and
finally set fire to the noble edifice, the
houses of the canons and the town
Itself. He also laid waste a large part
of the country.—Pall Mall Gazette.
LEGAL VERBIAGE.
A Kick From m Layman Against Its
Solemn Senselessness.
“As fond as I am of reading,” said a
merchant, “I never peruse a legal doc¬
ument without feeling irritable over
my Inability to grasp the real meaning
of such a paper at a glance. Like
many other persons not engaged in the
legal profession, I sometimes have to
read contracts and other agreements
drawn up by lawyers, and I often won¬
der why in this age of common sense
the ‘whereases,’ ‘aforesaids’ and ‘par¬
ties of the first part’ are not relegated
to oblivion. The technical verbiage
employed is a relic of the age when
that which was mysterious and could
not be understood was esteemed to be
beyond the comprehension of the com¬
mon herd. The use of uncommon Eng¬
lish in purely business circles would
not be endured. Why. then, should
the transfer of a piece of property be
a process so labyrinthiau and so mys¬
terious that a man of sound sense
cannot fathom it? It has been esti¬
mated that the clipping of the letter
‘u’ from such words as humour, labour
and the like has added to the world
each year what is equivalent to the
productive capacity of 500 ablebodied
men. What would we not gain if
from evepy legal paper and from every
legal suit there should be removed
that vast mass of superfluity, that an¬
tique verbiage, that bulk of repetition
and solemn senselessness that now in¬
wraps them as the shell inwraps the
clam ?”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
At Last!
“If you’ll wait a moment,” panted
the druggist, “I’ll attend to your order.
I’ve had a shock. You see the woman
going out? Well, she’s been living in
this neighborhood for about two years.
She’s been in here nearly every day,
and every time she came in she bought
stamps—one stamp sometimes, some¬
times two, and now and then three or
four.”
“Then what?*’ asked the waiting cus¬
tomer.
“Why, just now,” faltered the drug¬
gist, “she bought a cake of soap.”—New
York Press.
