Western Women.

We mentioned to some friends that
we had aimed to acquire a little wis
dom on the simple life by studying
these new countries, but they went
into spasms of impolite laughter at the
suggestion, writes a contributor to
Harper's Bazaar. 1t seems that the
women hold on to all the frills they
used to know, and acquire all the new
ones they can hear of, as a means OF
proving their social status, and OF
transforming their present place OF
residence into the nearest possible
semblance Of the one they left behind.
When they move into town, on the
ranches, and discard sunbonnets and
Mother Hubbards, they wear chiffon
hats with brims a few inches wider
than eastern modes. After q few
years Of town and club life they be-
come-oh, wearisomely like everyone
else! One Of them, herself q woman
Of brains and energy. said that no one
lived the simple life here. because
none had the strength Of mind to fol-
low the recipe. "And that ISL" we
asked. Just to be yourself" she an
swered. And we thought she was
quite right.

PULLED OFF HIS arm.
Quick Presence of Mind of Man Who
Was Being Crushed Saves
His Life.

Cincinnati.-The quick presence OF
mind in the face of a terrible accident
is all that saved the life of Frank P.
Thomas, manager of the Peacock dis
tillery. The accident occurred at the
plant of the Peacock company, at Kais-
erton. KY. which is four miles from
Paris.
Mr.. Thomas went to the plant sever
al days ago to superintend the placing
of new machinery and prepare to start
the distillery for its season run. A
new machine had just been installed,
which is used to crush the grain for
its mash. The rollers of this machine
are adjusted to crush the grain down
to the thickness of a newspaper.
While feeling up the grain chute which
feeds this masher Mr.. Thomas, who
wore a glove, accidentally got too close
to the rapidly revolving rollers, and
his right hand was drawn into it.
Hsi arm was being rapidly pulled
through the machine. when, with rare
presence of mind, and with q power
full jerk, he pulled off the crushed por-
ton Of his arm, the rollers having
reached to within few inches OF his
elbow.
He was removed to the Office Of the
company, where medical aid was sum-
moned, and his arm was later ampu.
tated near the shoulder.

delicate art of the Japanese about
which we raved for years, is manufac-
tured on the East side of New York
by a few beetle-browed Germans under
the able supervision of a Milesian
foreman. You can buy heather idols
by the gross on West Madison street
in Chicago, and if you wish the finest
lace work of Rome or Florence, you
must go to the lower quarters of New
Orleans, where it is made.
Then, again, Dilly. art is dependent
upon price: Should you see a noble
painting with a price tag on it calling
for SO cents, you will know it is not
art. If it reposes in a gilded frame
with a plate glass front and is la
beled $42, 900, you will know at once
that this indeed is true art, even
ence. The American is the largest pa.
iron of art in the world, billy. He
goes abroad with a wad of the long
green in his trousers pocket, and he
finds the artists waiting on the dock,
or coming out to meet him on a tug.
His appreciation of art is judged by
the price, and he couldn't tell the diff
ference between a painting depicting
four sausages on a tin plate and Ia
beled with a tin tag. which is still
life, my boy, and a chrome tint etch-
ing of Noah mailing the last m
plate onto the ark. When our American
millionaire heaves in sight abroad, the
entire population throws up it's job in
the spaghetti factory or the steel mill
and begins to sell him objects Of art.
1t is a great game. A great game.
Here we have some noble specimens
of art in our country, my dear nephew.
We have just discovered that the treas
ures of our national museums are
largely culled from the junk pile, and
that our art experts have been buying
phoneys at an enthusiastic rate. 1t is
sad, but true"
But surely the art dealer knows
what art is, dear uncle" said little
Dilly.
He does, indeed. my boy" replied
Uncle George, fervently. He is a
fly party, is the art dealer. His ideas
of art and ours however are widely
different. He considers it the height
of art to sell a 20-cent tintype to a ru.
raj senator for Corregio or a genuine
Astrakan rug to a museum curator,
that was made in Athens-Ga. The
art dealer knows a great deal about
art, my boy, and he keeps it to him.
self. If the purchasers knew as much
there would be no art dealers. Opin-
ions of art differ. Kitty Mahoney
makes a cosy corner out OF a soap
box and her last years p%olonaise, and
she calls it artistic, while Mrs. Van AS
torbilt gives an order to a dealer for
a genuine Turkish effect which costs
her $4,000. The result is the same.
Dilly, and it would require a Phila-
delphia lawyer to decide which was
the more artistic. Some day we will
have a standard of art, and by that
time the pursuit of art will have be-
come a sordid occupation, INDUCED in
only by members of the Artists union
at the prevailing union rate of six
dollars for seven hours work with st.
Patrick's day and Washington's Birth
day thrown in"
Is there nc good art in America, dear
uncle?" asked billy.
Undoubtedly, billy, but it's so ar
tistic that none of us can tell just how
good it u.s." said Uncle George, with
a heavy sigh.

THE FIRE ENGINE DRIVER.
None Who Handles the Gibbons"
Knows Better How It Should
Be Done Than He.

Is there a better driver in the world
than the man who drives the fire en-
CINE? If there is, he is yet to be dis
covered, says the New York Sun.
Here was an engine coming along a
cross street, to turn up an intersectin8
venue Under the edge of the round
ed off corner that the machine was to
turn there was a sewer opening, with
he street pavement sloping down
smoothly toward it all around from the
higher .evel OF the street.
If the driver, coming as he was at a
dead gallop, should make a broad turn
around this corner. out where the
street vas level, the engine would
swing more or less, nothing could pre-.
ven that, and check the horses speed,
and there would be a second or two
lost before they could get the load
Strengthened again and get under full
Roadway with it, once more, up the
avenue. But If the driver could make
that corner with the two wheels on the
inner side of the curve down in that
sloping depression leading to the sewer
opening close by the curb and the two
outside wheels on the higher level
nearer the middle of the street, why.
the higher level here would be for the
engine what the banked up outer rail
is for the locomotive rounding a curve
and making it so he wouldn't lose an
inch. And that's the way he did
make it.
And before we knew it a nan who
had been standing at the edge Of this
corner waiting to see the engine go
by saw it so near to him and leaning
in so close to him that he could have
touched it, while the driver, aloft IN
his high seat and leaning inward as
he was, too, was actually leaning owe
him as the engine passed, with whistle
screaming and steam Kissing, and that
driver, as he flung EN- in this fashion
round this curve. talking low to his
horses and calling on 'em each by
name-a man absorbed if there eveT
was one.
Thinking of nothing else in the
world, that driver, at this minute. but

burst at any moment into revolution,
it might not yet be settled whether it
should be the Straits of Panama or q
lock canal-all such questions had no
interest for him now, mol was he in
terested in anything else; what alb
sorbed him now to the exclusion of
all else on earth was the hiking of the
old machine from the fire house to box
ALTA in the shortest possible time,
and hadn't he just saved two seconds
by the flne work he had done in round
ing this corner? And when-it seemed
but an instant later that you heard it
you heard the scream of the engine,
now far up the avenue, you knew he
was getting there. It was great.
There may be somewhere in the
world better drivers than the driver
of the steam fire engine; but, If there
are such, New Workers don't know
where they can be found.

Medical authorities in France havs
