 The pictures in America alleged to have been painted by Corot number several thousands. More of these, it is said. have been painted since his death than during the lifetime of the master.
 How such things con be was recent ly learned in a rathe. amusing way by an American girl.
 Adjoining her studio while she was in Paris was one occupied by a quiet man, little known to the artists of the nelghborhoOd. but supposed to be one of their craft.
 He was a dlligent workman. From early morning until dark he was in bis studio, and yet no models ever came. nor did he go on sketching tours.
 One day the usual quiet Of his studio was broken by an altercation which those in the next room could not help hearing. as the voices grew louder. The uncommunicative and diligent worker was heard to say, q want my money"
 Evidently the cash was not forthcom- Ing. for the artist shouted in louder and angrier tones: q must have some money. have painted for you three Mlllets, four Rousseaus and thirteen Corots, and you have not paid me a cent since you ordered them, three weeks ago"

The Fnnrnn Plant.

All the energies of the fungus plant seem to be directed to the production of germs for propagating its kind. Their number is often almost incalcu- lable. You have doubtless observed that the common pun ball when ma ture Is filled with Q fine dust, and this consists entirely of spores correspond ing to seeds. which are eventually diff fused in the air by the bursting of the pun ball. In a single pun ball more than lO,OO0OOO of them have been counted, and when these minute bod ies are once set ahoat in the atmos- phere they are distributed abroad over an indefinite space. being so small that 1t Is difficult to conceive of a place from which they could be excluded. Their astonishing fertility and rapidlty of growth are among the most remark able characteristics of this vegetable tribe.

every standpoint. Several who had

afternoon at 3 o'clock. The engine was

an hour to replace the engine on the

No. 6 was held north of the accident
for about three hours, and No. 1, the

The engine ran one-eighth of mile af-

THEIR GREATEST TEMPTATION.
Rev. +. w. Russell Discusses the Cues
tion from the Viewpoint of the Young
Woman.

Woman.
"The Young woman's Temptations"
was the theme of Rev. f. w. Russell at
the First Presbyterian church last eve
ming, being the third of a series OF ad-
dresses on the temptations which be-
set the young men and women or today.
The speaker prefaced his remarks by
saying he was certain of one thlng,
that the temptations which face young
men were from the outside, while those
which appealed most strongly to the
yonug women were from the inside. AL
so that the young men knew better the
temptations which assailed the young
women of today than did the latter
those which the former had to contend
whit. Some of the temptations, as
CLEANED from the letters he received,
were insincerity, intemperance in dress,
cheap ideals, lack of purpose (and this
the speaker said was true of lot OF
young men, as welD, card playing, the
alters and dancing. and to speak I'M
kindly of other women. Mr.. Russell sald
the including in the list of card playing,
dancing and theater going led him TO
infer that some of the young women
were doubtful in their own minds of the
propriety of such amusements and II

everlasting mo- should be applied.

CHANGE in FIRE STATION.
Arthur Mundhenk Placed in Position
Occupied by Claude Watson.

Claude Watson, the member of the
city fire department at station No. 2,
who invoked the ire of the fire commits
tee of the council by his indiscretion in
figuring in one of the stellar roles of a
matrimonial play with the station as a
stheater, is evidently of the opinion that
when a man marries his troubles begin.
Watson was given the privilege OF re-
signing or having charges preferred
against him. and he accepted the for
mer course, being replaced Saturday by
Arthur Mundhenk.
Maurice Cummings, the captain of
the station No. crew, who was given
the privilege of remaining with the de-
apartment as pipeman at the central
station, made good his word and re-
fused to take the under position. Sc
lection to fill the vacancy has not yet
been made, but will be very shortly.
Members of the fire committee state
that they had no particular grievance
against Cummings, that he is a good
fireman, but he lacks the executive
ability that a captain should have. A
great many complaints have come from
the south side station, to the effect that
the station was being used for other
purposes than for which it was in
tended, and that GROWER rushing was
not an uncommon occurrence. One fire.
man has already been discharged be-
cause of imbibing while on duty. The
committee will not stand for any ac-
tons of this kind and will insist that as
employees of the city. paid for their SER
vice. they must at all times be in a fit
condition for duty. The committee feels
that this may as well be understood
first as last. even if the entire depart
ment has to be discharged and new men
secured to take their places.

Mrs. Harry Eldridee Will Appeal
to Court For Child Given
Her Husband
SHERIFF TAKE CHARGE OF BABE
EIdridse Receives Decree Of Divorce
in Benton County, Giving Him Gus
tody Of Minor Children = Wife
Thought by Agreement She Was to
Keep the Babe.

AS the result of Sheriff Shoemaker
taking charge of the small daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Eldridge, late Sat-
urday afternoon, fight Is to be insti-
her babe. Mrs. Eldridge arrived in the
city Saturday night from Boone. where
she is employed in a hotel as a waitress,
coming in response to a telegram from
her mother informing her that trouble
was brewing
Mr. and Mrs. Eldridge were married
about ten years ago, and the greater
part Of their married life has been
spent in this city and county. Mrs. Ed
ridge was formerly Nellie Maulsby.
daughter of Mrs. Anna Maulsby, of
Taylor township. The couple have not
lived happily together, and, according
to Mrs. Eldridge's statement, they had
separated seven different times within
the ten years, including the final separ-
ation about six weeks ago. Mrs. Ed
ridge claims that when she and her
husband decided to quit for good she
told her husband that he might have
the three small sons and that all she
cared for was her baby daughter. Vera,
aged 2 years. This she claims the hus-
band agreed to, with the understanding
that she would not make any appear
ance at the proceedings for divorce,
which he would institute. Mrs. Eldridge
informed her husband that she would
make no effort to enter a defense and
that he could prefer any charges he de-
sired. Eldridge was given a decree Of
divorce in the Benton county court FRI
day.
Since leaving her husband Mrs. Eld-
ridge has had custody Of her little
daughter, who has been kept by Mrs
Anna Maulsby, Mrs. Eldridge's mother.
Upon returning from Vinton Saturday
Eldridge secured the services of Sheriff
Shoemaker, who, armed with the order
of Judge Burnham, went to the Mauls-
by home and took the child restoring
it to its father, who brought 1t to this
city and placed it in the charge of his
mother, Mrs. George Beebe.
Mrs. Eldridge sought the advice of
attorneys today and it is likely she will
at once institute habeas corpus pro-
ceedings in Judge Caswell's court. She
visited the Beebe home Sunday after
noon and saw the, babe, also her hus-
band. The latter did not seem at all
anxious to keep the little girl, even tho
the court had ordered her turned over
to his custody Whether he will at
tempt to fight the habeas corpus pro-
Sceedings is not known. Mrs Eldridge
is heartbroken over the affair and
claims she would never have consented
to allowing the divorce to go by default
had she thought that her husband
would be given possession of her baby.
She claims the understanding was plain
and mutually agreed upon.
