HE is AN ARTIST AGAIN.
Man Who Has Been Several Things
ChiseIs Once More.

Tampa JOurnal.1
Theodore Kemensky has come to his own
He writes to his wife: II am happy. am an
artist again." There is a ring of exultation in
these words that one can appreciate who knows
the story of his life. Once the greatest of
living sculptors, the exponent of liberty, later
a self-exiled man, farmer in Kansas then an
humble innkeeper at Clearwater, later
teacher in the New York School of Art, again
an artist. Through all the trials and vicissi-
tudes always the same. simple earnest man.
Perhaps his latest triumph is his greatest. In
Russia he was the favorite of the Grand
Duchess Marie, sister of the Gar; in New
York, an artist struggling for recognition. In
the winter palace. In America his works will
adorn the State House of Kansas, and will be
to the coming generations historical study.
In the contest for the modelling of the facade
he won the prize.

been shocked by the discovery that some whisky
dealers have been watering their whisky after

This bad conduct was peremptorily punished by

can be permitted to water their stock except
the trusts and transportation companies.

BITING THE GLOVE.

In Olden Times tho Action Was Threat
of Mortal Revenge.
The biting of the glove or OF the
thumb was, among the NortheSn Dor
derers, threat of mortal revenge. Ir
the clay of the Last Minstrel" Scott
tells of the insult offered to Ruther
ford, one of the guests at the marriage
feast of Margaret Of Branksome:
"Stout Rutherford right little said,
But bit his glove and shocked his head
A story is told of q young Scottish
gentleman who noticed one morning
that his glove was bitten. He had beer
in company the night before, and, &C
coraing to the fashion of the time
(rather more than a century ago., had
drunk too freely to remember the par
ticulars of the conversations; but he in
sisted on his friends of better memory
telling him what had taken place, for,
he asserted, had he not received some
objectionable affront, he would never
have bitten his glove. He fell in the
duel which followed.
Gloves were worn in the cap as mark
of defiance, as in Henry w.; the King
talking with the Welshman, Williams,
to whom he was personally unknown,
says: ''Give mo any gage of thine, and
will wear it in my bonnet; then, II
ever thou darest acknowledge it, will
make it my quarrel" Williams
There's my glove; give me another OF
thine. This will also wear in my cap
if ever thou come to me and say, afte,
tomorrow, This is my glove by this
hand Twill take thee box on the ear.
Gloves, however, had many associa'
lions besides those of wars and quarrels.
In ''St. Valentines day. which abounds
in illusions to gloves and gauntlets,
Simon Clover, Of Perth, who received
his name from his occupation, refers to
the ancient symbolism Of gloves. "a
glove, he says, lis an emblem OF faith,

Could unto our barefoot such happiness bring
His jacket is ragged and brimless his hat,
But what cares q barefoot for trif1es like that
Care catches us all in the worlds great din.
But swift must she be to overtake him.
The woods know tale, the brooklet song,
They'll chant in his ears through the whole day

The squirrel has secret she'll give him in keep
The trout waits his coming where shadows lie
And at night, when nature her lesson has said
He drops off to sleep in his ungarnished bed.
For stocks may decline or assessments may rise
But no dread of the morrow drives sleep from
his eyes.
Could lay the pen down, upon care turn the
key,
And daeh through the woodland as joyous as he
The wealth of the world might wait ut my feet
But ne or would barter contentment so sweet.

For, whatever my place in the cohorts of men.
