A Lafayette Relic.

One OF the most curious and valuable
of the relics of General Lafayette, the
great Frenchman who cast his fortunes
with America when the battle for inde-
pendence was at it's height, is in the
possession of the family of w. G. Griffin
of Los Angeles.
When Lafayette came to this country,
he was entertained by Colonel Griffin
and was SO touched by the attention
shown him that he presented his host
with rare and beautiful ring which
had been placed on his finger by Louis
XIV, to whom he admitted allegiance
before sailing for America.
The ring is marquise, with setting
about an inch long and fully half an
inch wide. Francisco Call.

A Fatal Oversight,

Recently the wife of an Atlanta man
told him she wanted two newspapers
that were published in different states.
He had no change about him, SO she
gave him 10 cents with which to pur-
chase them.
He went forth, but on the way be-
thought him of the clipping bureau,
where, he argued, he could get the pa
pers for nothing. So he invested the
money in good cigar, obtained the pa
pers when the clipping man was through
with them and returned home.
On opening the papers his wife dis
covered that two items had been clipped
from one and four from another, and
then there was trouble.
1t was in vain that he tried to ex-
plain. In fact, he couldn't explain.
The more he stammered out excuses the
more his wife's curiosity was aroused.
The next morning when he appeared
down town his head was bandaged and
he looked ill.
He is now consulting lawyer as to
the advisability of suing the clipping
bureau for damages. Atlanta Constitu-
tiOn.

JOHN KEATS.

Poets Gentle Life That Was Terminal
ed All Too SnOn.
In the days of Keats Hampstead and
HighgRte were still capable of having
an individuality of their own and of
teeming with interesting associations
Fart of their celebrity arises from those
associations thus folmed Leigh Hunt.
visiting those scenes before his death,
would point to the wooden seat where
he and Keats or he and Shelley sat
when such poem was recited or to the
path through the fields where Coleridge
took leave of him and Charles Lamb,
who would stutter some witticism at
parting
John Keats was born in Moorsfeld,
London, 1896, and at the age of Is was
left an orphan, when he entered upon a
Eve years apprenticeship in a surgeon
Rpothecary shop at Edmonton From
his youth he showed passion for music
and poetry and spent all his leisure mo-
ments in porting over books After read
ing ''Tlae Faerie Queene" he would talk
Of nothing but Spenser. He learned
whole passages by heart, which he
would repeat and dwell upon with &C.
stasies of delight His first poetical COM
position, written at the age of IL, was
entitled "1n Imitation of Spenser. ?"
From that time it seemed that Keats
lived only to read poetry and to write
it. He luxuriated in the thoughts Of
poets talked about them and read them
to his friends
Before Keats apprenticeship was
over it was evident that he would not
persevere in becoming surgeon At 30
he entered hospital as student, but
soon gave it up and found more CON-
genial society with Leigh Hunt, Shell
ley, Goodwin. Hayden and others.
Keats signalized his accession to this
literary group by publishing in 1917 a
mall volume of poems Hunt describes
him at this time as being under medium
height, with shoulders very broad for
his size His face, strongly cut, yet deli
,ately mobile, denoted determination
and sensitiveness His entire expression
was of eager power. and he plainly
showed his emotions Wordsworth
alone he seemed to look upon as sub
Unity among contemporary poets
In 1917 he left London to lead q
quiet, thoughtful and busy life on the
isle Of Wight. returning a year later
with four booksof his . Endymion COM
pleted In 1920 he was seized with the
fatal malady. the knowledge of which
had been his fearful secret for some
years. After few months, during which
ne seemed partly to fight with death as
one to whom life was precious and part
" to long to die as one who had nothing

there breathed his last at Rome, Febru-

GEM SCULPTURE.
Something About the Making Of Came
and IufD~lFaa

Something About the Making of Canoes
and IntRgliOs.
Gem sculpture, or lithoglyptics, is
an art of great antiquity, having been
practiced by the Baby lonians, the Egyp-
tians, the Hebrews and the Greeks
Afterward it sank into decadence, but
in the fifteenth century was revived i'll
Italy. 1t is an art that calls for great
elegance of taste and much skill, for on
small stone, generally precious, de-
signs are represented either in raised
work, as canoes, or by being cut below
the surface, as intaglios
To canoes the term minute sculp-
ture" is indeed applicable, for since
the days of Greek art celebrated statues
have been copied in this way The first
intaglios were the scarabs, or beetle
shaped signets worn in rings by the
Egyptians from a very remote period.
One side of the stone was shaped like
beetle, the other side was fiat, and the
name of the king or v@arer was cut in
to it A hole was then drilled in the
stone from end to end, and through it a
strong wire was passed to hold it in
position in ring The fat or seal side
was always worn next to the finger, but
when used as a seal it was turned
In the art of gem sculpture the
Greeks excelled all predecessors. The
Etruscans, contemporary with the
Greeks, also attained excellence i'll gem
cutting, and it is said that ION these
early gems of Etruscan or Greek origin
may be read AS i'll ii book the forms of
their religion and the subjects of popu-
lar interest i'll politics, song and fable
for centuries. :

THE EMPEROR WoRsTED.
A PluCky Little Hungarian Girl Got Re-
VenGe For SadOwa.


venge For SadOwa.
The present kaiser would probably
not admit that he had often been
thwarted in any of his plans, but an
anecdote has recently become known
which shows that he at least once "got
she worst of it. - and it is all the more
piquant from the fact that he was de-
feated by girl.
When the kaiser, who was then
Prince Wilhelm, was about 10 years
old, he and Prince Heinrich spent some
time at Cassel with their tutors, who
sometimes allowed the little princes to
play with other children. One day when
several of them were gathered together
it CHANGED that little French girl was
among the number, and the young Ger
mans conceived the brilliant idea of
making her a representative of the coun-
try they all SO cordially hated. The de-
lightful plan was Immediately put into
execution, and the poor child was tied
to a tree. Then began fusillade of
pine cones, sticks, etc., and whenever
anything struck her there was a cry of
"Here's for Sedan!" This went on for
few minutes, when little Hungarian
girl, Helena Won D., who was watch
ing, could bear the injustice no longer,
and, singing out Prince Wilhelm as
chief offender, she threw herself on
him. The attack being unexpected, he
was completely taken by surprise and
fell down, whereupon she began to
pound him, crying out at each blow,
"Here's for Sadowap'
The prince was fast getting the worst
of it, for his little adversary was thor
oughly in earnest, when the imperial
tutors, hearing the noise, rushed up and
separated the combatants. After that
the princes were more carefully watch
ed, and Wilhelm had no opportunity to
''get even" with the little champion of
justice. Some days afterward, hearing
that the princes were leaving, Helena
went down to the gate to see them go
by. AS they passed Wilhelm spied his
foe, and leaning out behind his tutor he
stuck out his tongue.
Helena was the daughter of titled
parents, and later she was married to
an Englishman. When the kaiser was
in London, she told this story to one of
his gentlemen in waiting, who in turn
repeated it to his majesty. Tie latter
exclaimed: lis that devil of a girl here
now? would like to see her. A meet
ing was arranged, but Helena became
i'll, and SO they never met after that one
encounter to make friends or renew hos.
