THADDEE STYKA is PRODIGY.
Remarkable Hungarian Boy Artist
Who Has Pictures in Paris Salon.

In the entire history of the Paris
salon there is no record of the previous
acceptance of the work of so young an
artist as Thaddee Styka, the lad Of
II years, who had two paintings ac-
copied this year, an excellent portrait
of his father, and one of himself.
Young Styka's position in this respect
is therefore unique, says a correspond
ent Of the Detroit News-Tribune. The
boy is a son of Jan Styka, Hunga-
rian, who is likewise an artist.
Thaddee took to drawing at very
early age, as naturally as Mozart did
to music. When he was in the Catho-
lie school in Paris in the Rue de Van
GRAD, he used to fill his sketch book
every week with drawings, and show
them to his father when the latter
went to see him. His father even util-
lied the thought embodied in some Of
these drawings for his own paintings.
The tones of the flesh of the young
painter and his methods of depicting
light resemble those of the painter
Henner. The latter is very fond Of
the young artist. He has studio in
the same building as the Stykas at II
Place Pigalle. Father and son have
the studio where Puvis de Chavannes
once worked.
Thaddee is pale, with straight hair,
not very large, rather delcate-lOOking
and timid in manner, contrast TO his
father, who is TALL we'll built and ex-
uberant in his manner. The boy wears
at his work a suit of chestnut-cOlored
corduroys, with knee breaches. When
painting he is SO occupied he thinks Of
nothing else, and is barely conscious Of
the people around him.
Three years ago he took up sculp-
ture, just as he did painting, without
any lessons. His sculptures already
show much talent and astonishing en-
ergy.
He has one friend that pertains to
childhoOd-his cat, Rigolo. When his
work is done he romps with his feline
companion boisterously, like any other
child of his age.

Clears Mystery of Death.

The mystery surrounding the killing
of John Wren of Manitowoc at Trevor
on Christmas day was cleared up when
Nicholas j. Schumacher, proprietor of
the tavern at Trevor, made confession
Schumacher in his confession stated that
Wren had been ordered out Of the sa-
loon and when he refused to leave he
had taken hold of him and pushed him
out of the door. Later he found Wren
lying in the road. He said that he sup
posed that his skull had been fractured
by fall on the frozen ground.

Why Not, Indeed?

u more than one house are called
And more than one mouse are mice,
Then why are two mice not mouses
And why are two houses not hice?
If letter is sent and it goes,
And we know it went when it's
gone,
Why hasn't it snent when it SHOWS
Or the money we spent been spone?
If the vine that clings never changed,
But the joke that we spring is
sprung,
Why isn't the bell that we ring rang
Or the door that is banged shut
bung?
A word that we speak is spoken,
Why don't we say 1t is spake?
Our girl, when a pitcher is broken,
Zach Louis!" she say, it ISIS
break!"
II we lie when we say that we laid
And We lay when we said that we
lied,
Why don't we speak of the needles
we played
Or tell of the pieces we piled?
A fish that we catch isn't catched,
And the roof that we thatch isn't
thaught.
Why don't we speak of a thought that
was matched
Or hear of an egg that was Taught?
If a picture that's hung isn't hanged,
But the man who is hanged isn't
hung,
Why isn't the song that we sing
sanged
Or any old thing ever thung?

Death Indicates Murder.

The body of Cornelius Yonkers of
South Chicago has been found at the
southwest end of Camp lake in the town
of Salem. Yonkers' throat had been cut
from ear to ear. Near the dead body a

employed by one of the ice companies
and disappeared on recent evening. The
body was partially covered by snow. The

A LOST INVENTION.
Fortune for Discoverer of a Metal
OF Ancients.

Fortune for Discoverer of a Metal
OF Ancients.
Fame and fortune await the lucky
individual who can reulscover the
combination of metals from which the
Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Incas
of Peru made theirs tools and arms.
Though eacn Of these nations reached
high state of civilization, none OF
them ever discovered iron, in spite of
the fact that the soil of all three
countries was largely impregnated
with it. Their substitute for it was
a combination of metals which mad
the temper of steel. Despite the
greatest efforts, the secret of this
composition has baffled scientists and
mas become a lost art. The great
explorer Humboldt tried to discover
it from an analysis OF chisel found
in an ancient Inca silver mine, but
all that he could find out was that
it appeared to be combination of
small porLIon of tin with copper. This
combination will not give the hard
ness of steel, SO it is evident that tin
and copper could not have been it's
only component parts. What ever
mignn,s have been the nature of the
metallic combination, these ancient
races were able so TO prepare pure
copper that it equalled in temper the
finest steel produced at the present
NV
ed process. With their bronze and
copper instruments they were able
to quarry and shape the hardest
known stones, such as granite and
porphyry, and even cut emeralds and
like substances.
"a rediScOvery of this lost art
would revolutionize many trades in
which steel at present holds the mo-
nopoly. II copper could thus be tenn
pered now its advantage over steel
would be very great and it would no
doubt be preferred to the latter in
numerous industries. 1t is curious
fact that though this lost secret still
baffies SCIENTISTS, it must have been
discovered independently by the three
races which made use of it so long
ago."
The above item from Sunday pa
per is an example of many such float
ing about which both reflect and i'm
press an exaggerated sense of the i'm
portance OF a so-called lost invention
or art. The writer says: "A redis-
covery or this lost art would revolu-
tionize many trades in which steel
at present holds the monopoly" Why
would there De any revolution? Is
any man signing for a copper razor,
or does any boy want a brass jack
knife blade? There is no evidence to
prove that the tempered copper tools
OF the ancients were capable of hold
ing a keen edge like steel; on the
contrary, they were probably very
crude. and unsatisfactory substitutes
for what We now have. The United
States government board appointed
twenty-five years ago to test iron,
steel and other metals reported
through their chairman, Prof. r. H.
Tnurston, in that portion relating to
copper tin alloys, that alloys of cop
per 72.S9, tin 26S5, tin 29.SS, copper
6S.5S, tn 1926, copper G7S7, tin 1910,
coppN 65.95, and tin 34.47 were all
SO nard that they could not be turned
in a lathe with steel tools. These
and other hard combinations have
been generally known to the trade

DON'T KICK. But VOTE RIGHT.

The Seattle star makes ~ loud howl
about rich Seattle people giving away
i25,00 for foreign missions. during
the recent sessions of the board of
foreign missions Of the Congregational
church in that city while at the same
time hundreds OF poor families in
Seattle are in actual need and many of
them know not where the next meal
is coming from.
This may be true. But If it is true,
it is all right. The rich people Of
Seattle who gave away this money
have become rich through the ignor-
ant. needless and prejudiced voting Of
the very men who are suffering for
the necessities of life, yet who go to
ihc polls and whoop 'er up for pluto
cratic. grasping, selfish men because
they wear the brand of one Of the po-
Htical parties upon them.
let the rich give away their money
70 suit themselves. as long as they
earn it in their own shrewdness and
manipulation OF the masses.
The East Oregonian has deep SYM
pathy foy suffering and poverty, es-
pecially among families, but where
poor people forge their own fetters
ana burn their own fingers through
prejudice and ignorance in the face
Of proffered enlightenment and wis
dom in their own interest. it has but
little patience.
Experience viii teach them the way
perhaps.
II poor people who lack the neces-
sites Of life in the large cities would
vote right and kick less, refuse to be
torch bearers in plutocratic political
professions. refuse to take few pal
try dollars 10 boost their enemies into
office. and would unite and stand
firm IN the workingmans cause. there
would be more equal distribution OF
wealth and less suffering. More
stomachs would be filled and more
souls saved under such plan. than
under the present one.
But matters can only be 'aade right
by intelligent voting. Kicking is ne
remedy.

state in many ways, although people
appreciate that the delay is prompted
by a desire to secure the best man for
the place.
When IL is considered that the fed
eral judge i'm Oregon is busy, ordinar-
lily every working day in the year, in
meeting the enormous business of his
office, it may be understood what sort
of congestion of business is occasioned
by total stoppage OF business for
five months, as has been the case in
Oregon.
Judge DE Haven did nothing but
hear land fraud cases, other business
was deferred. Judge Hunt is hearing
only land fraud cases. Otner business
is still deferred. Thousands of dol
lars are tied up in litigation which
should be disposed of. Personal lib
erty is abused by the delay, as many
men are now in Jail in the state await
ing trial but cannCt be heard until a
judge is appointed,
The people of Oregon want the best
man for the place but the delay is
becoming tiresome and costly. Ger
tainly from among the many capable
and honest men suggested, the presi-
dent can find one fit for the place. In
justice to the business interests of the
state, the appointment should be made
at once.
The office OF federal judge is bur
dened with work, at best, and the
state should be divided into two dis
tricts at the coming session of con-
gress. Eastern Oregon furnished suf-
ficient work for one judge and in jus
tice to the people of this section, many
of whom must travel 500 miles in
reaching Portland from the far in
terror of the state, new district
should be created.
