WhIMs OF WORLDS GREAT ONES
Men Of Genius Who Have Been Noted
fer Their Eccentricity.


The men of genius whose works are
among the worlds most precious pos
\ sessions have ever been the most
eccentric of the most normal of man
kind, says w. H. Cotton. All readers
Of "Romola" will remember Pieri di
Cosimo, that misanthropic painter
who lived completely isolated from
his fellows in his queer, squalid stu
dfo, with its garden of weeds and flow
ers growing Tankly as they willed.
because he preferred them so; his
only companions toads. rabbits, spi-
ders and even more loathsome crea-
lures; his diet consisting wholly OF
eggs, hard-boiled, by the dozen and
eaten when required no matter what
condition. Goya, the Spanish REM
brandt, was the widest and most iras-
chile OF men. When he was painting
the portrait of the Duke of Wellington
he kept the hero of Waterloo in q
rigid attitude for hours, at the least
movement threatening him with a
dagger, and when the duke complain
ed of weariness the painter seized a
plaster cast and hurled it at his head.
Michael Angeles method of working
was one OF his greatest eccentricities.
Often he would get up in the middle
Of the night to hack and hew his
. marble by the light of a single candle
fastened to the visor of his cap, and
then, worn by his great labors, he
would throw himself down to sleep
again without removing his clothing
or his shoes-sometimes keeping the
latter on so long that when they were
removed the flesh came eff with the
stockings 1t is generally credited
>that at one time year passed in
which he never once removed his
shoes.-LesIie's Weekly.

MUMMIEs USED AS FUEL.
Burn Like finder, Says Sailor-Dried
Fish Makes Good Fire.

was stolen out of a tomb. The ma

They sell them in pieces to tourists,
and what pieces they can't dispose of
otherwise they throw into the bin for
fuel.
Mummy burns like finder, but it's
a CHASTITY fuel. 1t is as CHASTITY fuel
as the shot lasts what they burn in
the shoemakin' town of Lynn, where
the old-fashioned and discarded lasts,

where the fuel is leather chips. This
fuel smells and smokes. 1t clinkers,

chunks what have to be broke UP with

FAITH WORKED A CURE.
Proof of Effect of Imagination on
Human Mind.

Imagination, which causes much i'll
health, has also proved an effective
cure when medical skill has been baf-
fed. During the siege of Breda in
1925 the garrison was rendered almost
helpless by the ravages of scurvy. The
Prince of Orange, being given to I'M
derstand that the city must fall in the
first general assault unless the plague
was stayed, sent a few walls contain
ing liquid which he declared was of
wonderful potency, few drops being
sufficient to impart healing qualities
to barrelful of water. The virtues
of the remedy were described in glow
ing terms and the expectations of the
soldiery regarding its efficacy were
aroused to the highest pitch. The
walls contained a harmless prepare
ton, though had it been a deadly pol
son the seas of water with which 1t
was mingled would have rendered it
innocuous. The soldiers crowded Gag
erly around the doctors and swallow
ed the indicated water, faith beaming
in every face. In few days men
who had grown worse under the usual
remedies became well; others who
had lost the use of their limbs recov-
cred their wonted vigor, and the ranks
of the defenders assumed almost their
normal strength.

Barrels Too Dear to Burn.

The Thanksgiving barrel burning is
doomed. The day is not so far dis
tant when barrels will not be obtain
able. Those who harvest the crops in
the fall realize more than others how
difficult it is to get barrels for the pur-
pose. A barrel hunter in a neighbor-
ing state said the other day it is a
shame for people to break up and
burn their barrels when they are so
scarce. He said he has chased all day
for only a few barrels as result.
According to this man the making
of barrels is an industry which is not
followed by many, and coopers in the
cheap barrel line are becoming
scarcer each year, and people wanting
barrels for their winter apples have
to depend upon burlap sacks or pay
double what the other receptacles are
worth. In the near future barrels
that is, stave barrels-are going to
become too scarce and too dear to
burn. The scarcity of barrels prom

Growth of Language.

Of sinister" writer says: How
charged, since the time of the
Romans, is this simple word with du-
bious things, with suggestions that
are ever terrible! 1t seems to convey
the vague threat of dreams-the
threat that is something worse than
the clear menace OF trouble in waking
hours. Man wanted a word for such
terrors, and took the mere name of
the left hand; this would serve as
we'll as another, seeing that all words
which we have filled with mental
emotions had a grossly material be-
ginning, as bitter and sweet Elmer
son says that all language is fossil
poetry; but the reverse is true-hu-
man language has grown into poetry
and has come to life with time"

CITY COURT CASES.

There was a large number of cases disposed of by Judge Tyner In the city court yesterday morning, among which were the following: Grace Reynolds had a House of Good Shepherd com plain continued until August 2S, under the care of the probation officer Sam uel Weinberg had judgment suspended on a charge of injury to private prop Ierty.
 A charge of breach of the peace against William Gamble was continued until Saturday. Michael F. Cody, charged with having assaulted his wife, Mary, had his case continued nisi un- til August 31.
 Margaret Tolles and Iva Smith were leach given thirty days in jail for drunkenness. Daniel Sullivan was charged wit hcomimtting an assault on his wife, Bridget, at their hame, 174 Hamilton street. He was also charged with drunkenness. Judgment was sus- pended on the latter charge, and he was given thirty days in 1ail for the assault.
 Martin Deskin was charged with asa saulting Thomas Cullen of 79 Exchange street, and judgment was suspended, William H. Murphy had a charge of Inon-support continued until August 21. James Smith had judgment suspended on charge of drunkenness, and he was fined $1O for injury to private property. Smith, it is claimed, went Into Bernard Keenan's saloon on Putnam street, yes- terday afternoon, and wanted a drink. When the bartender refused to serve 1 1t to him he went outside and threw a. bundle of clothes he was carrying through a plate glass window worth SIG.
 Louis Cohen and Thomas Lord. city Iexpressmen, whose place of business is the long line which stands near Trin- ity church on the green, told their story of the screen trouble last week which led to their mixing 1t up very lively. Judge Tyner said: You're both equally guilty for fighting on the street. They were allowed to withdraw on receipt of $2 and costs each.
 The William Foggy case, which was not cleared up in the city court last
  Monday because Sunny Jim' Demo Ihad skipped town after his polt with Peggy, was all brushed away yester day morning. Demo had surrendered himself, saying he came all the way from Bridgeport as soon as he heard the officers were looking for him. Mary Black again told how Foggy had push ed her, and Demo testified that he gall lantly came to her defense when he saw her showed into the gutter by Fog gy. He also said that as soon as Fog gy punched him he skddoer, and did mt stop in time to show up in court Monday. Judge Tyner showed no par tiality in the dusky pair, and Demo and Peggy received word that the clerk of the court would be at home imme- diately to collect fine of s from each. They settled.

further fattening, principally of the leaders and incidentally of the humber members.
 So, having been restrained by Con gress, the labor leaders now propose to go into politics and elect labor trust members to rule the balance of us.
 Such massing of class or trust power in the hands of few men is exceed ingly dangerous for the safety of the common people
 There is but one safe procedure. Elect men who do not represent any trust but stand steadfast for the cit izens. the 100 per cent, the whole peo- pie and not the few trust members who seek to feed off the many.
 What could be expected of a labor trust city council, Legislature or Con- gress but to enact strict labor trust laws.
 We need antitrust representatives in this country to protect the people at large.
 Don't fail to question your candidates.
 ''Do you stand for the trusts either of labor or capital or will You repre- sent the best interests of the people. '" Don't permit any cowardly excuses but demand to know
 This is a trust burdened age, but the peoples prosecuting officers are trying to protect the people and will no doubt soon turn their attention to prosecu- tion of the labor trust leaders for their many conspiracies and overt acts against the citizens.
 Think over this trust question and "let the little Light of Reason burn" :" Give the public clear analysis of facts and they will do the rest.

Co order around and boss free Ameri- cans and bullyrag them if they don't obey ''orders" without question
 Quite little chore.
 The labor trust leaders tried by threats and other measures to bully members of Congress into passing some laws for the benefit of the labor trust but not in the interests of the people at large.
 They were told they didn't represent all the people.
 There happen to be 7S million anti trust Americans and about 2 millions labor trust members, many of them held by force.
 Naturally every gain of either money or advantage for the members of any trust must be absorbed from the "com- mon" persons outside the trust. Every trust must fatten by feeding off "out- siders."
 Think it over moment and see if that's right.
 The beef trust raises the price of meat.
 Who pays the raise?
 The labor trust raises the price ol labor and we don't object to that in reason, but who pays the raise? The oil trust tries to freeze out a citizen who starts in an independent oil bus mess. Why? So 1t can rule and have it's own way and make the people out side the oil trust "obey'' and pay toll.
 The labor trust tries to force an anti- injunction bill through Congress to prevent courts from issuing restrain ing orders or injunctions, so 1t can be free to attack property or independent men when the protection of the courts is withdrawn and thus terrorize the people and make them "obey' the trust leaders and prevent every independent American from selling his labor at all even though his family may be starv- ing.
 You are ordered to refuse any labor but that sold by the labor trust. and not to buy any article of merchandise unless it bear the ''union laber' the trademark of the trust.
 Some of the most irksome tyrannies and outrages are put upon citizens who believe in the old doctrine that America is for freemen and a square deaf' fol everybody.
 But this biggest of all trusts, the la bor trust, assumes to itself the righ to rule the balance of the people ant make them pay tribute to 1t, for the
