confessed that he had been interested
In the exploits of western bandits. and
that he had tried to emulate their ex-
ample. The character of Rallies" he
declared, had also given him ideas,
and he had attempted to follow out
this example. He vowed that it would
have been the easiest thing in the
world for the police to have captured
him on various occasions, but that
there had been no attempt made to
follow him after he had left the houses
he entered, except in one instance.
He declared confidently that in sew

diamonds and other jewels, had he SC
chosen. and was sure that he could
have gone to any bank In the city and
obtained whatever he demanded.

Origin of "Rule Britannia"

OEA810 VI ''Nu1C OEASWMMAS1s
It is q curious fact that Great Brit
ain owes "Rule, Britannia" to the sug-
gestion of prince who had few Eng
lish sympathies and no love Of the sea.
Frederick, prince of Wales, when re-
siding at Clifden House wished to
have a mask performance there on
the LIST of August, 174O, to commemo-
rate the accession of George I. and the
birthday of Princess Augusta. The
prince commissioned Thomson to write
something for the occasion, and the
words Of "Rule, Britannia" were the
result DR.. Arne set them to the IA
minar air, which became so popular
that Handel used the opening bars in
his Occasional Oratorio," 1746, to the
words, "War shall cease, welcome
peace" In 1851 Mallet produced a
new version Of the words, improved"
by Lord Bolingbroke, who substituted
three stanzas Of his own for the fourth,
fifth and sixth Of the original. OF this
mutilation Sir George Grove says, 1T
failed, as It deserved to fail"

ROME VERSUS PARIS,

When the Eternal City Was the Art
Center Of the World.
There was a time when Rome was
the worlds art center No artists edu-
cation was considered complete unless
he spent some time in that city. There
was always to be found there a coterie
of strong men, many Of them famous,
in whose society the tyro might min
gle and gain much by the companion
ship. That day has gone by, however,
and change has taken place. Paris
has usurped the prerogative Of the old
city, and it is to her that the world now
turns for new ideas Of art The Ital-
hang in their accustomed places, the
sky is as blue, the air as soft and the
outlook as lovely, but the glory Of Ro-
man art life has departed. The hu-
mainly that gave the art impetus, the
interest to the student, has betaken it.
self from the Seven Hills to the peace
full Seine, where it flourishes in the
wilder, more luxuriant growth, nurtur-
ed by the dollhouse forcing Of fin de
steele ideas, untrammeled' by conven-
ton or tradition. For good or bad
and the judgment must be left to the
reader-the fact remains that today
Paris is the hub about which the wheel
Of art revolves.
Yet from Paris there go annually to
the italian capital number Of young
men, winners Of the annual competi-
tons for the prize Of Rome, to spend
four years in the most idyllic manner
as guests Of the French republic at the
Villa Medici, beautiful palace own
ed by the government and specially ar
ranged for their reception. These men
have not won their spurs without hard
work, without great preliminary train

THE DIFFICULT TASK.
Combing the Particular Mans Hat,
BOthers the Barber.

COmbing the Particular MAN.. HAIR
Bothers the Barber.
do you know, one of the most diff
cult things in this business" said the
barber as he ran the comb through the
hairbrush, us in the matter of combing
a customers hair? It Is a rather singu-
lar fact that you will find few BARRIERS
who have succeeded in solving the
problem of combing customers hair
just as be wants it, no matter how
long the man may have been a patron
of his chair. OF course there are a few
exceptions to this rule There are a
few men In the world who do not care
whether their hair is combed at ALL
With this class of men fof course
it doesn't make much difference how
the barber combs the hair. But at least
ninety out Of every hundred men who
patronize barber shops are very partic-
ular about the way you comb their
hair unless you have inspired them
with an extraordinary confidence. I'm
less, in fact, they have a better opin-
ion Of the BARRIERS Judgment than they
have Of their own the barber will miss
the mark when he comes to put the
finishing touches on the hair. The rea-
son for this Is not altogether a matter
of vanity. There are a great many
men whose looks are completely
altered by a change in the way the
hair is combed. Take the man, for in
stance, who is in the habit Of parting
his hair on the side, and part it in the
middle, or the man who Is in the habit
Of combing his hair down and parting
it on one side suppose you roach or
pompadour the hair-can you not see
what changes would follow In the gen.
eral appearance Of the man? This fact
has much to do with making the comb
ing Of a mans hair a matter of much
difficulty, and do not exaggerate when
I say it is one of the BARRIERS hardest
tasks. New Orleans Times Democrat.
