START OF AN ARTIST.
John opie's First Portrait and What 1t
Cost Him.

John Opie, the English painter, Is
described in Coke Of Norfolk ana
His Friends" by Mrs. a. NJ. w. Stir
ling, as a man of humble origin who
achieved success wholly by his own
genius and perseverance. The story
of his first effort in that line OF art
which afterward brought him fame
he related to Coke, first Earl Of Lei
cester of Holkham, as follows:
When a small boy Of ten or twelve
he was left at home one Sunday after
noon with his father, while his moth
er went to church. The father estab-
lished himself in the parlor with his
Eible and told the boy to be quiet and
amuse himself.
Young Opie, who had procured
some paints, took up his position un-
observed in the kitchen directly OPP
posite the parlor door. Very quietly
he drew a portrait Of the old man
bending over his Bible until he had
finished everything except the head,
when he began running backward
and forward to study his fathers
lace.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless inter-
ruptions and threatened to punish
his son If they continued.
This was exactly what the boy
wanted, as he wished to paint his
fathers eyes lit up and sparkling with
anger. SO he continued his irrita-
ting behavior until he met with the
desired result, and his father justly
wrathful, administered sound
lhrashing.
This achieved, the boy resumed his
task eagerly and transferred to his
picture the expression which he had
just seen upon the face Of his indig-
nant parent.
When his mother returned from
church he placed the picture trium-
phantly before her; but, although
astonished and delighted with 1t, she
thought 1t her duty to scold her son
severely for painting on Sunday.
Young Opie, however, cared no
more for the scolding than for the
beating he had received in accom-
plishing his work and only Rugged
his mother delightedly in his excite
ment at its success.
His father coming into the room
at that juncture and spying the por-
trait of himself, was so surprised and
pleased at 1t that he told the mother
not to scold the boy any more.
Subsequently. whenever the picture
was shown, he used to tell with great
relish the story of young opie's
plucky acceptance Of beating in
order to insure its success.

NEW. WOMAN IN TURKEY.

She Demands Abolition Of the Harem
and the Veil.
In the recent rejoicing at the proc
iamation Of a constitution in Turkey,
many Turkish women took part, and
for the first time in history appeared
in public without their wells.
They have appealed to the Young
Turk party to abolish the harem sys-
tenn, and with 1t the compulsory VEIL
ing Of women. The word harem, says
the queen, is Arabic for anything for
hidden or not to be touched, and as
against the rules of the Koran. Games
# chance, witchcraft and portrait MAX
ing are "harem."
In practice the word Is used by Eu-
ropeans to designate that portion OF a
polygamist's house, which Is devoted
to the exclusive occupancy Of his wives
and their attendants. Thence 1t comes
to refer to the female portion Of his
household, while the word may be
used by westerners to designate the
SySlelll VI VI
In Turkey the system has been
maintained not only as part of the
Moslem religion, but as an integral
part Of Mohammedan polity, Of which
the sultan Is the chief spiritual head,
to whom all orthodox Mussulmans look
up, and to whom, as the appointer OF
Sheikh- ul- Islam, all religious ques-
tions may be finally referred.
+ Whether the sultans will follow the
'ead of their subjects in this matter
Is very doubtful. The harem system Is
so interviewer with the court life and
government Of a Mohammedan ruler
that it would take a strong man to
break through the rule, even II he de-
sired to do so.
The etiquette of the harem Of the
sultan Of Turkey, like that Of most
Moslem potentates, is very severe, and
is strictly carried out. Each wife has
her own suite Of apartments, her own
bathroom :. and garden. and her own
body Of servants, male and female.
Their wives are not called by their
names, but are distinguished as Kadin
Cor LADY, No 1, and 80 on.
The title Of Sultana Is given only to
the mother, sister or daughter Of a
sultan, consequently it Is the Kadin
who first gives birth to an heir to
the throne who can have this distinc-
ton. Should an odalisk, or female
slave Of the harem, become the moth
er Of her lords first born son, then she
hecomes the reigning sultana. Even
then she has little influence, this being
welded alone by the sultan's mother,
the Sultana Valide, who controls the
harem' and exercises considerable in
auence in all court and many govern
mental matters.

ANCIENT scoNE PALACE.
Modern improvements In the Growing
Place of Scottish Kings.


One of the finest old Scottish resi-
dences Is Scone Palace, near Perth,
the ancient centre Of the Pictish cap
ital former crowning place Of the
Kings Of Scotland, and now the resi-
dence Of the Earl Of Mansfield, rep
resentative Of the ancient family Of
Stormont, says the Queen.
Although the old abbey Of Scone
vas destroyed several hundred years
90 and the site is now occupied by
d cU.r-o ratively modern building,
much of ancient association has been
preserved and the palace Is still
noble and venerable looking pile, its
dull red castellated towers backed
ty luxuriant woods and facing over
stretches of rolling green park, the
meeting place of the Almond and
Tay.
The great gallery at Scone, which
IS 100 feet long, occupies the place
of the old hall where kings were
crowned in days Of yore, the corona

have been the work Of the fair but

Even of later years Scone has been
honored by the visits Of royalty, her
late Majesty Queen Victoria having
paid quite long visit at the palace
in 1912, the occasion Of her first
visit to Perth, and again after the
death Of the prince consort. The pres
ent earl has done wonders for the
palace in the way of introducing
modern improvements, both within
and without, and bringing the do
nestle arrangements up to date in
every way.

THE WORLDS COAL.
How Long It will Last Need Not Trou.
BILE Us.


Bile Us.
The question Of the exhaustion OF
the coal supply Of the United States
Is not one which can affect the pres
ent generation or the next, says Har-
per's Weekly. Yet the American sup
ply is likely to be exhausted before
that Of Europe, and particularly be-
fore Great Britain. Looking at the
matter from the point of view Of ma
tional providence or provision, cover
ing generations and generations,
America should beyond doubt be
little saving Of its coal.
It has been estimated that Penn
sylvania has about enough anthracite
.oal to last at the rate Of production
that prevailed last year a little less
than 200 years. Proatly the supply
will be exhausted much sooner than
that, unless some profitable substitute
8 found for anthracite. AS to bitum-
inous coal in the United States, the
supply is very great and widespread.
It is estimated that 1t will last, at the
rate of consumption which prevailed
during the last decade something less
Than $50 years.
II the coal supply Of the world at
large were likely 10 be exhausted In
any such way as to make considera-
ole drain on American Goals for for
eign consumption, the situation might
be regarded as alarming II we could
put ourselves in the place Of our
Observation-Disclosures But there Is not
likely to arrive a time when we shall
nave to iced the world" with coal.
In 1880 Great Britain had in
sight," so to speak-although IT was
ali below the ground-an aVailaole
.oal deposit estimated at nearly $780,
OuO. OOU, 900 tons. At the rale OF pro-
ducuon and consumption then prevail
ing, the supply would last ABOUT soo
years. The coal measures OF Lam
.ashlre are 5000 feet in thickness.
Moreover, there are many coun-
tries which possess coal deposits tnat
nave never been touched. Besides
he great coal fields of Europe and
Amer,ca, as now worked, there are
undoubtedly deposits in China, In the
philippines, in Australia In South
America, in British North America
in Alaska, IN the Indian archipelago
and elsewhere. ,
With one circumstance the Ameri-
can people, looking at the mater
from the consumers standpoint, may
we'll be pleased. Europe does not
want our anthracite coal, the pest
fuel, on the whole, that the eartn mas
ever produced. Europe does not un-
derstand the use of anthracite, and
it is apparently not willing to learn IT,
It calls on us for bituminous coal,
which we can spare more readily.
The assumption that the coal helds
of Great Britain and America Will De
exhausted, even at the end of several
,enturles, Is founded on the further
assumption that heat will continue
TO be made and power generated IN
the future much as they are now:
Put our inventors and chemists hold
out the assurance that great changes
NAV be looked for in the methods OF
producing heat and mechanical ener-

HUNTERS CLOSE ESCAPE.
Hung For a Long Time at the Edge Of
q Canyon.


Hanging to a narrow ledge Of the
wall Of Wheat Canyon, with drop Of
more than a hundred feet below him,
Louis Eeamon, %, yeafs old Of Los
Angeles, was rescued from certain
death by Chief ]. c. Shill Of the Holly
wood fire department, says the Los
Angeles Dispatch.
Leamon was exhausted when the res
cuer reached him. His hands were
torn and bleeding. To hold to his per-
ilous perch he had dug his fingers In
to the scale Of rock, and the nails had
been broken into the flesh. His arms,
neck and face were purplish from the
terrible strain which he had been COM
PEELED to undergo to keep from pitch
ing headlong to the rocks Of the can
yon bed, far below.
Leamon had left early In the morn
ing for a days dove shooting. He shot
dove and 1t fell into the soft earth
Of the wall, few feet below the ridge,
and Leamon started after 1t. He
reached the dove and started to crawl
back to the top, when the ground be-
gan to slide away, and he was carried
down twenty five feet before he gained
a footing. The man had been there al
most an hour before his cries attracted
the attention Of a passerby. Chief
Shill was notified and hurried to the
place with an automobile truck. Lad
ders were placed against the cliff, but
Leamon was afraid to let go his hold.
Chief Shill then, by roundabout path,
reached the ridge Of the canyon. He
tied heavy rope to tree and lowered
himself over the ridge to where the ex-
hausted man hung. Tying another
rope about Leamon's body, Shill lifted
him to the ladder and lowered him
gently. 1t was more than an hour be-
fore Leamon had sufficiently recovered
to board a car for his home.
