How He worked the Artist.

This account of how an intimate
friend of the great artist Kyosai obtain
ed one of the painters drawings is
from Mrs. Hugh Frazer's Letters from
Japan
Kyosai always refused if asked our-
right for sketch. So his friend began
the negotiation by offering the artist an
excellent dinner. When Kyosai had
drunk deeply and seemed in mellow
humor, his host would call for drawing
materials, saying that he felt an artis-
tic fancy taking possession of him. No
one was surprised, as japanese gentle
men often amuse themselves in this way
after feast. The servant then brought
an enormous sheet of white paper and
spread it ON the floor with the brushes
and Indian ink beside it.
The crafty host, without looking at
his guest, sank ON his knees and began
to draw, apparently absorbed in his oc-
cupation, but Intentionally producing
few weak and incoherent lines. Kyosai
watched the feeble effort in silence and
growing irritation, and at last jumped
up, dashed the tyro aside and tore the
brush out of his hand, exclaiming:
'tOut of the way, you wretched bum
gler! will teach you how to draw"
And the result was priceless sketch,
which remained in the possession of the
willy entertainer.

ported, purchased over $3.50, 900 worth
of mining property in this vicinity.
Patrick Murphy is one of the most
unique characters in this city. He is
called 1.-The Father of Joplin" He
deserves the name. for not only is he
quite aged, but he is the pioneer set
tier. He came here penniless and later
laid out the city, built the first smelter
and was Joplin's first mayor. Mr..
Murphy now lives at Carthage, in the
finest house in the whole region. He be-
lieves in the future of the mines here
and declares them to be inexhaustible.
He says only the mere surface of the
mines has been searched, and as the
shafts are pushed lower and lower the
richer will the returns become. Mr..
Murphy's life reads like romance.

Your life filed our young hearts with joy,

WASHINGTON, June 5.-The propGsi
ticn that republics are ungrateful,
which unhappily was true in the case
Of Marshal Ney, in reference to which
the words We're originally applied, has
proved quite the contrary in the treat
ment which this republic has accorded
its heores. particularly those in the
naval branch of the service Congress
has been the medium through which
the nation has usually expressed its
gratitude to the defenders of the flag,
though there have been SCORES of in
stances in which commonwealths,
municipalities, societies and indivldu
ais have attested their appreciation of
heroic service in the gift of medals,
swords, purses, plate and estates dur
ing the lifetime of the object of their
admiration and by the dedication Of
statues and monuments TO their MEM
DRY after death.
From John Paul Jones to George
Dewey the American people have not
been wanting II appreciation and re
ward of our great naval captains, who,
however, have received 10 more than
they deserved. Though it is true that
Paul Jones died in Paris in compara-
tive poverty and neglect, the fault was
not that of his countrymen, who had
conspicuously honored him for his great
service in the Revolutionary war and
particularly for his brilliant victory
with the Bonhomme Richard over the
British Scraps in English waters and
doubtless would have conferred upon
him further honors and emoluments
had he remained in this country.
1t would be quite out of the question
to refer in detail to al the naval heroes
whom the American people have de-
lighted to honor since Paul Jones hoist

There is strange wild plant in
Guadeloupe called the ''life plant" If
a leaf be broken off and pinned by the
stem to the wall of warm room, each
of the angles between the curves of the
leaf margin soon throws out number
of very white tentacles, or roots, and
soon a tiny new plant begins to sprout,
and in the course of week CT two at
tains a height of two or three inches.
When the old leaf shrivels, the new
plant is cut off and planted. When
carefully cultivated, the life plant pro-
duces curious red and yellow blossoms.
While the plant is native only in a
warm country, there is no doubt that
it could be successfully grown in any
greenhouse, and as plant freak it GER
tainly is as interesting as the everlast-
ing plant of Mexico. En-

naval contests with the Barbary states,
in 1904 and in 1914, was signally hon

for his heroic service All the maritime
countries of Europe voted him thanks
for putting an end to the Barbary
piracy which had long menaced COM

Dor of Tripoli is described by Lord Mel

ceived generous recognition from their
grateful countrymen. Isaac Hull, the
commander of the Constitution, "Old

and the thanks of congress, and $50, 900

crew of his ship. Swords and other
