RoSSETTI AT HOME.
Poet-Painter's House Looked as it No
Woman Had Ever DweIt There.

Hall Game, in November Appleton's.
The house itself was a plain Queen
Anne erection, much mutilated by the
introduction of unsightly bow windows,
the brick work falling into decay, the
paint in need of renewal, the windows
dull with the dust of months, the sills
bearing more than a suspicion of cob
webs, the angles of the steps to the porch
and the untrodden flags of the little court
leading up to them overgrown with moss
and weeds, while round the walls and
up the reveals of door and windows were
creeping the tangled branches of the wild
est ivy that ever grew untouched by
shears.
Such was the exterior of the house of
the painter when L walked up to it
on the autumn evening Of my earliest
visit, and the interior of the house, when,
with trembling heart, first stepped over
the threshold, seemed to be at once like
and unlike the outside. The hall had a
puzzling look of equal nobility and shah
biness, for the floor was paved with white
marble, which was partly covered by a
strip of WORKOUT cocoanut mating Three
doors led out of the hall, one at each
side and one in front, and two corridors
opened into 1t, but there was no sign of
staircase, and neither was there any day
light, except a little that was borrowed
from a fanlight which looked into the
porch.
/ took note of these things in the few
minutes / stood waiting in the hall. and
if I had to sum up my first impressions
of the home of Rossetti, l should say it
looked like house that no woman had
ever dwelt ina house inhabited by a
to-.
in life, but was now living from day to
day,

Accounting for Disease.

Boston children are sometimes credited
with vast stories Of knowledge, but one
12-year-old girl of that city has apparent
~ neglected her opportunities. A travel
ing circus was putting up its tents in
the environs of Boston when a yound
girl approached the leopards cage, put
her hand between the bars to stroke the
animals head and as a result was badly
scratched and bitten.
One of her companions hurried home
to tell of the accident and concluded
her story with:
"Oh, mother do you suppose Annie
will have leprosy now?"
Another story is told of an elderly
woman, also of Boston who told her
neighbor that she had suffered from gas
tritis for nearly a year and that the
only way that she could account for it
was that the sitting room coal stove
leaked gas in a dreadful way-Youtn' S
Companion.

Kentucky Badly Beaten.

Ann Arbor, Mich. November The
Michigan football eleven this afternoon
defeated Kentucky State university 81 to
0. The representatives of the southern
university never had an opportunity to
score. They made their first down but
three times during the entire contest, and
were always on the defensive.
The Michigan rOoters went wild with
delight. The team displayed even better
form than they did a week ago in the
clash with Vanderbilt.
The forward passing of both teams was
cratic Yost's men made their gains on
straight football, tearing the opposing line
open time after time for long gains. In
the second half the Michigan lineup was
shifted every few minutes, giving the sub
stitutes an opportunity to play.

Atlanta, November 7.-(Special.) Now

a rout, Auburn defeated the Yellowjack-
cts by the large score of A to this
afternoon in contest which will long

Touchdowns came fast, Auburn ran the
the ends at will and also gained through

All their gains were made on straight

their gains around the ends. Leech kicked

WhistIer's Portrait Of Irvine.

"Why did Whistler paint Henry
Irving as Philip?' some one once ask
ed me. How dangerous to ask 'swhy"
about any one SO freakish as Jimmy
Whistler! But I answered then and
would answer now that it was be-
cause, as Philip, Henry, in his dress
without much color from the common
point of view, his long gray legs and
his Velasquez-like attitudes, looked
like the kind Of thing which Whistler
loved to paint. yelasquez had painted
real Philip OF the same race; Whis-
tier would paint the actor who had
created the Philip of the stage.
I have note from Whistler written
to Henry at later date, / think,
which refers to the picture, It is
common knowledge that the sitter new
er cared much about the portrait.
Henry had a strange affection for the
wrong pictures Of himself. He dis
liked the Bastien-Lepage, the Whistler
and the Sargent, which never even
saw the light. He adored the weak,
pretty-pretty picture by Millais, which,
I must admit all the same, held the
mirror up to one Of the characteristics
Of Henry's facets extreme refine
ment.
The most remarkable men / have
known were, without doubt, Whis-
tier and Oscar Wilde. This does not
imply that liked them better or ad-
mired them more than the others, but
there was something about both Of
them more tnstantaneously Individual.

has been obliged for several weeks
practically to exclude himself from
visitors part of the time. The work
has been exceedingly trying, as he
is under a severe mental and physical
strain fro from sixteen to twenty
hours every day.
When Secretary Taft made the Of
fer of the management of his cam
paign to Mr.. Hitchcock he desired
that he undertake the work immed-
lately. AS that, in the view of Mr..
Hitchcock, would have necessitated
his retirement at once from the office
of first assistant postmaster general
because he could not with propriety
conduct a political campaign from
the postofice department, he told the
secretary that he could not assume
the duties of campaign manager on
the spur of the moment. He asked
for time to consider the subject and
to confer with friends. To this the
secretary entered no objection, but
expressed desire that decision be
reached as soon as possible.
In considering the matter with
friends, Mr.. Hitchcock found him
self somewhat embarrassed because he
had Instituted, on behalf of the post
al service, certain lines of action
which he felt he ought to follow
to their conclusion. This would rend-
er 1t necessary for him to appear in
his official capacity before COM
mittee of congress. He finally in
formed Secretary Taft that if he
could be given time to meet his obli-
cations to the postal service he
would accept the offer. Practically
Mr.. Hitchcock now has concluded
the work on which he was engaged
and, ina few days, he will tender his
resignation and leave the postoffice
department.
Mr.. Roosevelt joined with Secre-
tary Taft in requesting Mr.. Hitch
cock to undertake the campaign
work. Mr.. Hitchcock constantly has
declined to discuss the reports that
he was to become Secretary Taft's
campaign manager, and today, when
requested to make a statement re-
garding the matter, insisted that it
was subject which he was not in a
position at that time to discuss. 1t
is not known, even, whether he will
establish headquarters in this city,
but it is assumed he will.
1t is expected that Mr.. Hitchcock
will devote his attention to the cam
paign of the secretary in all parts of
this country except probably Ohio,
which is being looked after by Arth-
ur I. Vorys.

HETTINGER
COUNTY TAXES
Commissioners Pass ReSolu.
ton to Reduce Taxes Ten
Mills or 0ne.fifth
Legal Proceedings Have Been
Taken to Restrain
Such Action

Parties in from Hettinger county
say great deal of pressure has been
brought to bear upon the county
commissioners of Hettinger county to
the year 1907 The desire was in
creased somewhat by reason of the
large increase in the amount of taxes
over the year before when only state
taxes were levied in the then unor-
ganized territory, and further in the
fact that few people realize the large
expense incident to the organization
of new county, necessitating the
transcribing of all county records,
the purchasing of thousands Of dol
lars worth of new records, building
q court house, roads, bridges, In
iact getting everything started, do
ing what it has taken other counties
twenty years to do. This statement,
augmented by the desires of some
of the landed interests OF the coun-
ty whose property is earning them
nothing at present, led the county
commissioners, at meeting on Feb.
9TH, to pass resolution reducing
the amount of county taxes ten mills
or about one-f1fth Of all taxes and
providing for rebatement to those
who have already paid.
This action was taken by the COM
missioners in direct opposition to the
advice of States Attorney Geo. H.
Stone, who held that this proceed
ure was illigal and inadvisable, not
withstanding the unusual circum-
stances.
An action has been started on be-
half of the State of North Dakota
against Hettinger county, to have
this resolution set aside as unlawful
and in all probability temporary In.

any action on this resolution until
its validity is established.

ty should understand though, that
no matter what is done, they will
receive the benefit of it, If they pay
