The sculptor can examine his unfinished work
from every point Of view and change the plastic
clay until his thought is embodied. The painter
can alter mis- drawing or color scheme until his
message of beauty is expressed. The poet can
study his growing sonnet until every line and
every word is perfect But the composer must
express his form OF loveliness his picture, his
poem. IN arbitrary marks on ruled lines. He
must carry in his imagination the tones and
qualities OF ten twenty different instruments.

whether his work adequately expresses his
thought until ne secures the cooperation Of

At the semi-annual dinner of the
Shoe and Leather Dealers associa-
ton in Chicago the principal speaker
contended' that vegetarians are largely
responsible for the high prices of
footwear. He held that the increas-
ing consumption of vegetables and
cereals and the consequent falling off
of meat sales resulted in farmers rails
ing less cattle and thus bringing
about a scarcity of hides. The GEN
tleman should have said that the beef
trust is the prime factor in bringing
about the advance in shoe prices.
Weregthe farmers paid more for their
cattle by this grasping monopoly they
would raise larger number, and,
were the price Of meat reduced, thous-
andst of the so-called vegetarians
would assist in the consumption OF. the
