poet Goethe as to the influence of art upon
pupils:
Men are so inclined to content them
selves with what is commonest: the spirit
and the senses so easily grow dead to the
impression of the beautiful and the per-
feet that every one should study, by all
methods, to nourish in his mind the faculty
of feeling these things. For no man can
bear 10 be entirely deprived of such enjoy
ments; it is only because they are not used
to taste OF what q excellent that the gen.
crafty of people take delight in silly and
insiptd things, provided they be new. For
this reason one ought every day at least to
hear a little song, read a good poem, see
a fine picture, and, If 1t were possible, to
sneak few reasonable words.
One immediate result of the contest, the
teachers say, is the great curiosity which
has sprung up about the pictures of the
casts and scuptors themselves.
Bust of Dante.
The Stars bust of Dante is taken from
an original bronze in the National Museum
at Florence. II part VI CVllSCtiOi
No l. Only a very few busts or portraits
of Dante exist, but the strong individuality
of the great poet SO impressed itself upon
his contemporaries that the severe coun-
tenance of the author of 1.-The Divine Com
edy'' is as we'll known as that of any public
character of today. Carlyle, in celebrated
description of Dantes appearance, says: 1T

Dante (properly Durante) Alighieri, one
of the greatest poets of all time, and the
very greatest among the Italians, was born
in Florence in 1865. His family was one of
the most illustrious of the city. He was
carefully educated by his mother, Bella,
and afterward studied philosophy in Paris.
His studies did not prevent him from taking
an active part In the duties of a Floren-
tine citizen, He fought for his republic in
the battles of Campaldino and Caprona, and
rose to one of the highest municipal posi-
lions of the time. Involved in the party
struggles of the Guelphs, Dante was BAN
ished and spent the greater part of his life
IN endeavoring to bring unity to the scat
tered states of Italy.
The immortal work of Dante, The Di-
vine Comedy" has been translated into al
most all European languages So impor-
tant has 1t been considered as a complete
representation of the life. The social condi-
tons, the religion and philosophy of the
middle ages that fffty-two years after the
poets death the republic of Florence set
apart an annual sum for public lectures to
explain 1.-The Divine Comedy to the people
In one of the churches. This example was
initiated in many other places in Italy, and
now his work forms a part OF the. require
ments for language and literature degrees
IN all the great universities of the. world.

While stIll a member of The local police
force. and dressed in his uniform. LYDIA is
said by the police to have gone to the store
of Mr.. Sacks and asked to See gold

pressed the wish that he be allowed to take
the watch out with him for little while,
TO see if he could sell it. Permission was
granted for that. and LYDIA left with the
watch and failed to return it. A day or
two later he suddenly resigned his position
on the police force and departed from the

ADVANCES PAY DAY.
Paymaster Rogers Makes the District
Employees Happy.

The most popular official of the District
government today is Charles c. Rogers, the
genial gentleman who distributes the BIZ
monthly coin to those who help maintain
the local administration. Mr.. Rogers is
always popular but on this occasion he is
even more so than the assessor, with his
increased tax assessments, simply because
he has used his good offices to secure an
order which permit him to pay unto every
school teacher. fireman, policeman and
other persons of whatsoever capacity or
character who are on the pay rolls of the
District government their salary the 18th
of May, instead of waiting until the 31st.
Every now and then Mr.. Rogers gets an
opportunity to do this good deed and each
time his success is welcomed by chorus of
5000 voices which sing his praises in uni
son. Whenever a pay day falls on a holi-
day the school teachers begin to get wor-
ried. and notes of pleading find their way
into the hands of the kindly disposed Mr..
Rogers. Over his desk Mr.. Rogers has the
motto. I'VE aim to please and SO when
these epistles are laid before him, damp
ened with tears of anticipation and hope
he is moved to deeds of vaIor and courtesy.
1t has been his custom ever since he became
disbursing officer to request of the Com
missioners permission to pay in advance of
holidays, and this permission has been given
always. But the fair school teachers are
never sure, and hence the notes of pleading.
