Harriet Hosmer a Sculptor Even In
Her Childhood Days.

An old school friend of the late
Harriet Hosmer, the sculptress, has
recently related some interesting an
ecdotes OF her childhood. Her first
modelling, it appears, came about
through a blue-berrying expedition.
Hattie" as she was always called,
had gone to the berry pasture with
her foster brother Alfred.
"They had tramped farther than
usual, when all Of a sudden Hattie
stumbled upon a big clay bank. It
was just as IL she'd been hooking for
It all her life. Out went all the ber-
ries from her nearly full pail, and into
the pail went big double handfuls of
the soft clay.
"Then she fairly rushed home, sat
down on the back doorstep, and there
modelled her first figure, representa-
tion of the little, shaggy yellow dog
who was at that time her chiefest
treasure. After that she never forgot
the clay bank.
why, when she was at boarding
school with the rest of us she made
casts Of all our hands, and they were
beautiful. She did one of Mrs. Sedg-
wick's, l know-she was our head mis-
tress-and remember that Mrs. Sedg-
wick said it was truly exquisite and
wound it all over with the soft smooth
silver paper she used for her finest
laces."
In day when the athletic, outdoor
girl was yet unknown, Harriet Hos
mer, against all convention, at the i'm
perative call of free nature, rode,
swan, padded, hunted, fished. climbed,
tramped, and studied nature-to the
horror and dismay of the excellent
housewives of her town.
You should have seen her collec-
tions," said her old friend. she had
bugs and beetles. squirrels, rabbits
and birds, and even an old fat wood
chuck that she had shot and wounded
herself. We girls could never see how
she could do 1.-THE things are $3.50
smelly-and unpleasant"
Even when her study of her art
had taken her to Rome, among fellow
artists and great folk who praised her
and made much of her, she yet kept
one relic of these happy days, oddly
tucked in amid the clay and tools and
glistening marbles of her studio. 1t
was an old, dilapidated crows nest,
the prize of daring climb, reduced
to decorous service as darning bas-

Right and Left.Handeness.

DR.. H. C. Stevens of Seattle reports
recent experiments which show that
objects seen by indirect vision ordi-
narily appear larger in the right half
of the field of vision than in the left.
With smaller number of persons this
is reversed. From these facts he de-
duces a possible origin of right and
left-handedness. Right-handedness. or
its reverse. develops at about the age
of seven months. DR.. Stevens suggests
that they may be due to the phe-
nomena of vision just described. BY a
reflex effect the infant reaches after
the objects best seen with the arm
nearest to them.

TAFT TO MAKE A LONG TOUR.
Will Take the Road September Fl for
an Extensive Speeeh-Making
Campaign.

Middle Bass Island, o. Will
lam H. Taft left here Monday
morning for the activities of his cam
paign. He has written the Republican
national committee to arrange for him
a speech-making itinerary and has
suggested that the states of Missouri,
Nebraska. Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Indi-
ana and New York be included in any
tour that may be decided on. Mr..
Taft has also expressed the view that
his stay in Cincinnati might be ter
minated as early as September 21,
thus permitting the extension of his
services in the general political field
to period of nearly six weeks and
make possible a trip from coast to
coast.
The request of the candidate to be
assigned speaking dates, coming as 1t
does directly upon the visit here Sat
urday of National Chairman Hitch
cock and his desire to hasten the
time when he is to take to the road,
is regarded as showing his determine
tion to be personally in the fight
wherever 1t may be the thickest, and
also his determination that no doubt
shall exist as to his attitude.
II can't conceive of anything more
depressing than to be denied partici-
patton in an active campaign, or to be
kept quietly in one place, depending
wholly upon fragmentary reports as
to what is going on and as to what
conditions are"
This was the recent summing up by
Judge Taft of his personal feelings.
The Taft party will leave here at 10

BfRKMAN is JAILED AGAIN
NOTED ANARCHIST is ARRESTED
FOR INcITING TO RIOT.
A Meeting of Unemployed New York
ers Was Attended by Great Ex-
cltement and Disorder.


made Monday to turn meeting Of un-
employed workingmen into an an
archistic demonstration and for half
an hour the big meeting hall in Cooper
Union, where the meeting took place,
was the scene of wild excitement, dur
ing which red flags were raised, the
police denounced and incendiary
speeches made. Alexander Berkman,
the anarchist who in 1892 shot Henry
G. Frick, a steel company official, dur
ing the Homestead strike in Pennsyl-
vania, was dragged from the hall by
the police and locked up, charged
with melting a riot. A young woman
who gave her name as Mary Smith,
and who stood by Berkman, was also
arrested on the same charge, and
Emma Goldman, recognized leader of
the Reds" in this country, was made
to leave the hall.
Not since the disturbing scenes fol-
lowing a meeting held in Grand Gen.
trail Palace to celebrate the acquittal
of William d. Haywood, accused of the
murder of eX-Gov. Steunenberg of
Idaho, has the anarchistic element
raised such a disturbance here. Only
the stern measures adopted by the
police prevented the meeting from be-
coming an out and out anarchistic af-
fair, although the Unemployed and
Brotherhood Welfare association,
which planned the meeting, had no
other intention than to present it's
claim that there are thousands of idle
workmen here.
Eads Howe of st. Louis, sometimes
alluded to as the millionaire hobo"
planned the demonstration. He and
other officers of the Unemployed and
Brotherhood Welfare association had
for some time been making arrange
ments for monster parade and meet
ing on Labor day, but when the pa
rade formed there were less than
1000 in line. The police say they rec
ognized many anarchists in line,
among them some who attended the
meeting in Union Square last spring
when a bomb was thrown at the po-
lice which killed a spectator and fa-
tally wounded the bomb-thrower him
self.
There were four big banners and
many smaller flags and standards car
ried in the parade, bearing such in
scriptions as these:
twenty-five thousand unemployed
walk the streets of New York every
night"
New York with all it's glory has
no way to take care of its unem-
ployed."
I'VE want jobs or bread for our
families"
AS the parade drew up in front of
Cooper Union man stepped to the
side of Mr.. Howe and asked him to
have The band play the Marseillaise.
Mr.. Howe referred the man to the
leader of the band. AS the French
national air was not on the program
the man gave the leader a dollar to
play it.
1t was the playing of this air, iden-
titled in past times with much blood
shed, that started the trouble. AS
soon as the crowd had gathered in
the hall the band began to play the
Marseillaise and in an instant nearly
every one present jumped to his feet,
cheering and stamping on the floor.
Red flags appeared, but the police
made the holders of these put them
away

Profusion of Pictures.

Fifteen thousand pictures are now
on exhibition in the two great salons
in Paris. These represent about three
acres of canvas. The total length OF
the pictures without their frames
would be nearly ten miles. Reckoning
one minute to look at every picture,
and without taking any. rest by day
or night, it would take ten days and
ten hours to see every picture in the
two salons.

SHALL THE ,ST11E COHEN
 TTON INS1RUCT.

There is a disposition and de sire in certain portions of Ar kansas. among certain portions Of the people, who might safely be termed politicians, to send an uninstructed delegation to the National Democratic Conven- ton.
 Now. why the whereforeness of such q course? Does Arkan- sas want to be elassed with the speculating element, holding back it's hands to receive what might possibly come its way, or would it prefer to be manly and out-spoken, showing from the outset where it stands. and why? Bryan is undoubtedly the choice of the Arkansas Dem ocraey. and the people are for him because of the principles he advocates. They, also, have confidence in his integrity and believe that he takes the high grounds he does in favor of hu- manity for the sake of his coun- trymen and not from a selfish or sordid motive. This being true, then let us help to hold him up, rather than assist in tearing him down. If Bryan is a true expo nent of the principles of Democ- racy, which the people of this State believe in, and they further deem him incorruptible and worthy of the high honors of the Democratic nomination for the Presidency, let them give their aid and encouragement by instructing their delegates for him. Arkansas. being among the first States on the roll-call, should give no uncertain sound, should not be found quibbling. It's vote should be for Bryan, loud and strong, because the people want him and because he is the man for the place and for the times. If the champion of the rights of the people is to be struck down in the Convention, let the blow come from other quarters. and not from the house of his friends, in the South.
 The Johnson boom is being worked on the policy plan, without the excuse, even, of the expedient.
 No one contends that he is as able a man as Bryan or that his views on public matters are more in accord with the people; but the greatest claim that is made for him Is that he was elected Governor of a Republi- can State, which, if it proves anything, shows him to be more of a Republican than a Democrat.
