An Arttst's Training.

Rosa Bonheur used to say that her
youth was one of great poverty; then
she would add some droll stories about
the fanny method Of regulating Its
finance. The studio was collection of
odds and ends, and NJ. Bonheur knew
how to turn that disorder to account.
When he received money for his
work. he would take handful of coin
and throw 1t at random about the room.
Then in times Of stress, when there
was apparently not n farthing left in
the house, the entire family would-set
to work searching In hooks and corners.
Sometimes they would find five frame
piece, and that war,ied OF starvation.
To perfect herself in her study Of ami
mails young Rosa spent days In slaugh'
ter house. The men were perplexed Mt

times made it disa sreeable for her, but
good NJ Emile, butcher Of great
strength, announced that whatsoever an

Baccarat is very simple game. The
dealer and each side of the table have
two or three cards. The object Is to
get as near nine as possible, and tens
and court cards do not count. IL the
two first cards dealt do not together
amount to five, the player asks for an
other. II above five, he does not. The
sole question in doubt is whether q
player whose two cards together make
Eve ought TO draw third card or not.
Because of this doubt 1t has been ruled
by French courts that baccarat Is not
game of chance, and yet it is mathe-
NAUTICAL certainty that either the
chances of lettering the hand are i'm
proved by drawing third card or d.
minished. Considering, therefore, the
large sums that are risked at this game.
1t is somewhat curious that no one has
ever taken the trouble to work out the
probabilities.

A most interesting addition will bs
made in February by Mcclure, Phil

ethical thought. They will publish .
little volume under the title Of 'sLife
and destiny" by Felix Adler. II is
hardly necessary to. state that DR.. Adj
Ter is a professor OF political and
social ethics at Columbia university,
and to mention his reputation - .
preacher on ideal and social subjects
is scarcely more needful. DR.. Adler's
reputation is wide one, and il was
Count Leo Tolstoy who, in an inter-
view with Ambassador White, printed
in "McClure's Magazine sometime
ago, stated that of his favorite writer's
one was Felix Adler. The book ought
to have a peculiar interest for the
thousands who have heard DR.. Adler
preach, or have read his sermons,
since 1t is made up OF selections from
his discourses gathered under hsads
that indicate the range OF the subjects
treated, such as ''Immoralisy. ,,

Uncle Sam Is handing out al kinds
of new rulings in the postal depart
ment of late, but the latest il one
which seems to be aimed at that class
of youthful lovers who desire to carry
on courtship by mail and without
the knowledge Of their parents. Tn
der the new ruling, all postmasters
are forbidden to rent boxes TO minors,
or to place the mail of minors in the
general delivery or elsewhere than
with the regular mail Of tho family
without written order from such
minors parents.
The new order does not affect the
once in this city however, - It has
always been the custom of Postmaster
Conerd to refuse minors boxes with
out the parents consent, even though
he had no special instructions TO do
so. When asked about this matter,
Mr.. Conerd said that outsiders had no
idea OF the number of minors, especi-
ally young girls, who had applied for
private boxes or asked to have their
mail kept apart from the family mail.
The new ruling is good one and
ought to have been made years ago.

Two years ago Mr.. Herriott was not
. candidate for lieutenant goveanor.
Prior to his nomination he had said
that he did not wish the nomination,
and after tho nomination was finally
made he hesitated for some time before
accepting, but his friends insisted that
he must accept the nomination. Other
friends, although for the time support
ing other candidates for governor,
layed upon him their demands that he
for party reasons, must forgo his own
wishes and yield to tho demands OF
party interests and the wishes of old
and faithful friends. So Mr.. Hsrriott

Does the Coon river run up hill!
According to the weather report II
does. This is triie funny but it il
a fact just the same. According to
the weather man the elevation of Sac
City is 900 feet and that of Jefferson,
down the Coon,is 1852. In other
words the river runs up hill all the
way down to jefferson. Evidently
the Sac City figures are incorrect as
the elevation of Storm Lake is lao,
showing difference of $40 feet, q
feet to the mile between here and there.
1t is probable that the true elevation
Of Sac City isnot far from 1910 feet.
That is about $50 less than Storm
Lake and 26O feet greater than Jeffer-
son. However, it may be that the
Coon does run up hill. A weather.
man can do anything, they say, and
may be he can overcome gravitation.

The Democrats of Iowa have called
their state convention for June II
without waiting for the aid or con-
sent of any other nation" or party.
They are not even waiting to see when
the Republican party will hold its
convention. This is something new.
1t is an innovation. We suppose
they have nothing to lose and every
thing to gain, SO they are running no
risk by an experiment. They are .
little bold in breaking "a long estab-
lished precedent that the party in pow
er hold its convention first, and the
minority come tagging along after
wards and chose its position among
the unoccupied premises. The demo-
cratic party is going to exercise its
right OF choice now, and not take Just
what is left. We are . little scared
for fear it may adopt in its platform
several time honored republican prin-
ciples.

WILL RESIST CUBA's RULE
Americans on the Isle of Pines Almost
in Revolt.

The correspondent of The New York Her
aid in Havana sends the following: Three
hundred American citizens, property own
ers and residents of the Isle of Pines. are
preparing to resist forcibly, If necessary,
any further exercise Of sovereignty there
by the Cuban government.
Formal demand was made upon Minister
Squires Monday for the protection due to
American citizens on American territory.
Mr.. Squires is comforting with President
Palma. "
American residents on the island say they
own and occupy more than two-thirds of
the land there. They assert that the Cuban
government is levying oppressive and un-
lawful taxes In the Isle Of Pines and spend
ing the proceeds in the Island Of Cuba.
Administration of Justice in the Isle of
Pines is said to be unreliable.
The protesting Americans say they have
settled in the island with their families and
mean to stay. Before investing their money
in the purchase and improvement of real
estate they received official assurances from
Washington that the Isle of Pines was ter
ritory of the United States. They refuse to
pay further taxes to the Cubans and ask
that steps be Immediately taken to estah-
lish a government in the island under
American authority.
The situation is becoming serious An
open rupture Is likely to occur If President
Palma sends rural guards to the Isle of
Pines to enforce collection of taxes
Cuban officials in the island are having
Americans watched by rural guards The
alcalde is preparing report for President
Pall-a.
Americans assert that Secretary Root in
structed General Wood last May to con-
tinue the then existing American military
regime as the de facto government Of the
island, but General Wood withdrew with
out doing this. They say the Platt amend
ment has been distinctly violated, as that
amendment excludes the Isle of Pines from
the constitutional limits Of Cuba
Cubans maintain that the Isle of Pines
was and continues to be a part of their
territory. 1st
