Freight Handlers Strike.

Kansas City, June 22.-There is no
change today in the strike situation of
the four hundred freight handlers. A
sympathetic strike on the part of the
switchmen and truck drivers is un-
likely. The freight handlers held a
meeting today, which was attended by
representatives OF the switchmen and
truck drivers union, but no action was
taken. The freight handlers intend to
wait a few days and watch develop
ments before they ask the members Of

ruary art Journal" contains a startling paper
by Mr. Claude Phillips on what he calls Two
Beautiful Ruins One OF these is q portrait OF
an italian gentleman which he has discovered
at Coombe Abbey. the seat Of the EarI Oh
Craven, near Coventry, and which he attributes
to the Umbrian period of Raphael; the other Is
portrait of Venetian which he has found In
the collection of the Marquis Of Bristol at lex
worth, and which ne attributes 20 Giorgione
Both paintings are in a sadly dilapidated con-
dition. The reproductions show US the ghosts
of two pictures. The latter unmistakably come
from competent sources. but Mr.. Phillips does
not even pretend to have proved his case. He
may do SO later on through further research.
Whether he demonstrates the Raphaelesque and
the GiorgiOnesque origin of the works or not, It
is obvious that he has stumbled upon two ex-
tremely interesting souvenirs of old Italian art.

quotations which form their Illustrative notes.

There is always a price Dame Nature

And that in the end by cunning and

The price that is set in Natures book

'Tis the price that we have to pay,
Though the fact may bring dismay;
The price that is set in Natures book
is the price that we all must pay.
The primrose path is a jolly path, but
the price of it's joy is writ,
And we cannot escape the grisly
shape that ever is haunting it,
The wines red glow is a goodly glow

The water in the pool is at a tenn
