A PECULIAR FAD.
Prof. Order Has Made a valua BILE Col
lection of Powder Horns.

Prof. Order Has Made vnlua BILE Col
lection of Powder Horns.
Who ever heard of collecting powder
horns2
This peculiar fad was originated and de-
veloped, a Star writer learned, by gen.
tleman who, as may be supposed, still has
q monopoly Of it. His name Is Professor
Rufus Order. and he teaches drawing in
the public schools Of Canajoharie. All Of
his leisure time and spare money are de-
voted to this pursuit.
Ordinary, everyday powder horns do not
excite his attention, however. His coIlee-
ton Is limited to those Of historical inter-
est, chiefly in connection with the war Of
the revolution. Usually such horns are
held as relics in families: but If he cannot
secure the original, Professor Order will
travel any distance to make a sketch of It,
Up to date he has secured sketches of $50
specimens
1t might be imagined that one powder
horn was pretty much like another, but
this is very far from being the case, par
ticularly where historical horns are con-
cerned. In old times these articles were
much priced for any associations they
might have, and much care was frequently
bestowed in identifying them. Many of
them were deliberately carved with differ
emf sorts of devices, including representa-
lions of battle scenes. patriotic emblems
and even portraits of conspicuous per-
sonageS.
In each of his $50 sketches Professor

Fed enough series Of novels 10 keep him
going to his hundredth year. 1t is certain
that he Is a man of hard work.
He was born In Paris OF a French mother
and Italian father, on the I'd of April, 1910,
so that he is now fif:y-five years old. His
father was a distinguished civil engineer,
who built at AK, in the south of France,
what is still called 'Zola's canal" He
died there in 1877, and the young Emile
pursued his studies at the College Of AK
until his eighteenth year. Then he came
back with his mother to Paris, where
friend had procured him a free scholar
ship in the Lycee Saint-Louis. 1t was of
little use, for when he came TO pass his
examination Tor the bachelors degree he
failed-in literature.
There is little to do in France without
some kind of a university certificate, and
lola was now without penny of his own.
He tooi a place at 81 a month in the
custom house docks. The work was too
hard for him. lie rext had to walk the
streets of Faris, seeking vainly for work
and eating when and where he could. 1t
was then he composed some Of the most
powerful of his short stories, but as yet he
had no one to publish them for him.

have their echo in nearly all that he has
written since.
He was soon promoted to an influential
post in the publishing house. This brought
him in contact with many of the literary
celebrities Of the day. Among the rest
was Taine. who. later on. could not toIer-
ate this name of lola. and whose influence
still keeps the novelist from the French
Academy. lola, however, has always pro-
fessed to be true disciple of Taine's phil
osophy. Toward the end of 1893 he offered
. short story for children's magazine
published by the house. 1t was called
Sister of the Poor" Mr.. Hachette re-
turned it. with. the severe words: you
are revolte."
The next year he succeeded In getting
his stories published in the city; but the
volume had no sale. In 1865 he began
writing for the newspapers. and attracted
considerable attention by his savage crftt-
cisms of contemporary art under the title
Of MY Hatreds." His first novel also ap-
peared, and brought him in a little money
He now resolved to take his chances with
literature. and threw up his position, with
all It's good prospects, in the house of
Hachette.

dock to the Forrest Homo.
From the Chicago Post.
IT don't believe that Charles w. Coul-
dock Is to go to the Forrest Home for
some time, although he has retired from
the stage" said ]. H. McVicker. when
seen at his home on Michigan avenue. II
received letter from him from New York
about two weeks ago and he told me that
it had been a hard winter with him. He
has often said that friends have advised
him to make application to the Forrest
Home. so that when vacancy occurred
he might be eligible for a place there.
There are many applications on file, and
it is hard to get in there, so presume
that he has taken the first step necessary.
He told me in his last letter that his
friends were to give him a benefit this
spring. when Joseph jefferson, his life
long friend, returns from his southern trip.
"Mr. Couldock is about eighty years OF
age and was here lest summer with my
stock company. He took the part of the
Blood" I have known him ever since he
came to this country from England with
Charlotte Cushman in 1919. He ranked
very high, taking such parts as Louis kI.
Richelieu, Hamlet and the whole line of
legitimate characters until his age pre-
vented him from carrying out such strong
parts. There is no doubt that when he
wishes to go to the Forrest Home he will
| be received cOTulaily
c. W. Couldock was born in London April
| &c, 1915. He first appeared at Sadler's
Wells in 1886, where he played "Othello."
After that he supported John Vandenhoff
at Bath and in 1915 he became leading
man at the Theater Royal at Edinburgh.
He came to America with Charlotte Cush-
man in 1910 and for several years was lead
ing man at the Walnut Street Theater,
Philadelphia.
| In 1858 he Joined Laura Keenes Olympic
! Theater Company and afterward took the
| leading parts in THE Willow Copse." The

the Madison Square Theater in the part
of Dunstan Kirke in Hazel Kirke" and

Theater, New York, in 1887, which netted

manhood on the western frontier. Subsequently he
settled in Kentucky, where he became known as
of the most successful stock breeders in the
state.
But it is az an inventor that he has won his
national reputation. Several most useful and i'm
portaat inventions made by him before he
produced the Williams typewriter, a machine that
probably excels all others in the most important
features.
Mr. Williams, speaking Of the labor expended
in bringing the machine that bears his name to its
present perfection, says:
''Some four years ago. when engaged in expert
mental work the Williams, l putting in
about 10 hours per day OF hard work and worry,
and came near breaking down. Although very par
tieular and regular in my habits md careful about
eating. my stomach troubled me. It-was difficult to
