! ARTIST AND ARTISAN.
What 1t Is That Measures the Diff
ference Between Them.

What 1t Is That Measures the DIFF
ference Between Them.
"My son is going to be an artist"
said a proud father. 'He does not
need to study a lot of scientific rub
bish."
Perhaps this father does not know
that what he calls scientific rubbish"
measures the difference between the
artisan and an artist, the difference
between the common and the superb,
between mediocrity and excellence. It
was what this man called scientific
rubbish which made the difference
between the works of Michael Angelo
and those of hundred other artists OF
his day who have gone into oblivion.
1t was this scientific rubbish study
ing anatomy for a dozen years-that
gave Immortality to the statues Of
Moses and David and to his paintings
the sLast Judgment and "The Story
Of Creation"
Many an artist of real ability has
failed to produce any great work of art
because of his ignorance of just such
scientific rubbish" Of what good is
an artistic temperament or genius to
the sculptor who does not know the
origin, the insertion and the contour
Of the various muscles, who is not
thoroughly familiar with the human
anatomy? Michael Angelo thought it
worth while to spend great deal Of
time upon the anatomy Of a horse and
upon abstruse thematics.-Success

A Legend of Lace.

According to Melchior de Vogue, the
legend of lace is as follows: A Nene-
tian sailor gave his ladylove frond OF
spreading seaweed to keep him IN
memory while at sea. But the girl
found that the seaweed was rapidly
drying up and disappearing. So she
caught the fine branches and leaves OF
the plant with thread against piece
Of linen and, working on, with her
thoughts following her lover, invented
lace.

ENGLAND'S PATRON SAINT.
He Was Born In Palestine and WRe
Beheaded In BOZ.


Beheaded In BOZ.
st. George, the patron saint of Eng
land, was born at LYDIA, but brought
up in Cappadocia. He was a tribune
in the reign of Diocletian and, being
a man of great courage, was fayorlte,
but as he complained to the emperor
of his seventies toward the Christians
and argued in their defense he was
put in prison and beheaded April %,
302. St. Jerome mentions him in one
of his "Martyrologies," and in the fol-
lowing century there were many
churches named to his honor. In re-
gard to his connection with England.
Ashmole in his History of the Order
of the Carter says that King Arthur
in the sixth century placed the picture
of st. George on his banners, and
Selden tells us he was patron saint OF
England in the Saxon times.
1t is quite certain that the council
Of Oxford in 1920 commanded his fes-
tival to be observed in England as
holiday of lesser rank, and in 1880 he
was adopted as the patron of the Or
der of the Garter. The dragon slain
by ST. George is simply common al
legory to express the triumph OF the
Christian hero over evil, which John
the Evangelist beheld under the I'M
age of the dragon.
Gibbon, in his decline and Fall"
asserts that the patron saint of Eng
land was George of Cappadocia, the
turbulent Arian bishop Of Alexandria,
but the character of this assertion has
been fully disproved by Papebroch,
Miner and others.-Exchange

How Do You Approach a Difficulty
1t makes great difference how you
approach a difficulty. Obstacles are
like wild animals. They are towards,
but they will bluff you if they can. II
they see you are afraid Of them, it you
stand and hesitate, if you take your
eye from theirs, they are liable TO
spring upon you, but if you do not
finch, if you look them squarely in the
eye, they will stink out Of sight. SO
difficulties flee before absolute fearless
ness, though they are very real ana

Luminous Facts.

Post-Dlspatch,
1t Is admitted that American steel
rails are sold In Canada at $3.50 a
ton.
American railroads must pay $2S
for rails.
We levy duty oil So q ton to pre-
serve the home market from the pau.
per made rails OF foreign countries.
The Dominion OF Canada has just
enacted duty Of 81 q ton an rails.
This will make the price to Canadian
roads $26.50, unless the American
steel makers reduce the price still
further. This seems possible. since It
10 stated on good authority that the
cost Of production is less than $12.
Could snything better illustrate
the crazy character Of the tariff than
these admitted facts? How long will
the American people tolerate this

VIRTUE OF CONSISTENCY.

Mr.. Folk after so short a time, with
no new developments to warrant a
change, the Republican-Press is ad'
hitting that 1t tried to deceive and
mislead its readers and Was not sin-
cgrg IN its positions. NO respectable
paper can afford to say that 1t ad-
vocated men or measures for the
purpose Of deceiving its patrons. The
circuit Judge instructs the jury that
il a witness swesrs falsely to any ma
terial fact his whole testimony must
be disregarded. When the Republican
Press was praislng MIR. Folk and

readers, or is 1t testiiying falsely
now2 In either event the jury should
disregard the whole Of it's testimony.
A newspaper to have influence in It's
sphere must take Its readers into its
confidence and deal honestly and
fairly with them, advocate the right,

convinced, stick to the tot, though

FOLK SHOULD BE Elected.

Editorial in Chicago Tribune Rsp) Sept. 10. 2
II 8 community loves honesty In
politics II viii stand by the man who
has proved that that is his creed. It
will promote him whenever opportu-
nifty occurs. Hitreslly desires integ.
rlty In the administration OF its
affairs It will nos turn the cold shoul-
der on the man oiapproved integrity
who has made 1t plain by sending
boodlers Of high and low degree to
the penitentiary that he is an enemy
of boodllng. :
Why should any Missourisn who
is himself honest refuse to vote for
] oseph W. Folk and hence refuse to
encourage honesty? The Republican
may say, "My party has nominated
Mr.. Walbrldge, and he is an excel
lent man ofirreproachable character.
He, II elected, will fight boodling."
No doubt OF 1t, but he could NOS do
1t so effectively as Mr.. Folk, for he
has not had theexperience. He does
not know 80 well the methods OF the
boodlers or how to meet them. The
Legislature assuredly will be Demo-
cratic, and a governor OF that faith
will have more Influence with them
than a Republican executive.
The governor OF Missouri has no
control over national politics. Mr..
Folk, II elected, will be quite unable
to change the tariff or the method OF
governing the Philippines. He will
have nothing to do with the ques,
lions which are determined at WASH
ington by congress and the presi-
dent. All that Mr.. Folk can do il
governor Is to administer the affairs
OF the state, to see that It's laws are
enforced, and to fight corruption
wherever his trained eye may detect
it's presence. That he will do these
things admirably no truthful Mis-
souri, Republican will deny.
The defeat In Missouri OF q man
who is conspicuous because he is an
anti corruptionist will dishearten
throughout the country all men who
believe that aggressive honesty In
public lie should receive a proper
reward. II the honest man in poll
tics has no assurance OF an approving
constituency he will get out Of poll
tics and let the rascals manage
