SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER q, 1908.

The new art books to be published this fall
and winter will include several volumes of
highly interesting character. The biography
of Whistler which he authorized his friends
the Pennells to write and the book on "Whis-
tier in Venice" by Mr.. Otto II. Bacher, we have
already announced. Another book of special
interest to Americans will be THE Higher
Life in Art" collection of lectures by Mr..
John La Fargo on the BarbZon painters and
their work Mr.. La Fargo is always illuminat-
ing when he diScOurSes on his craft, and in
this instance he has theme on which it will
be especially gratifying to hear from him.
Students of art in the Low Countries will be
eager to see DR.. BODIES Great Masters Of
Dutch and Flemish Painting" and in the
Italian field we are promised an elaborate work
on "Vincenzo Foppa of Brescia, Founder Of
the Lombard School," The author of this, Miss
Constance JOcelyn FfOulkes, who has had the
aid of SignOr Maiocchi, has long been making
researches into her subject and to judge from
certain papers of hers in 1.-The Burlington
Magazine" she will prove a serviceable biog-
rapher The extraordinary success of M.
Renach's "Apollo'' has brought about the
preparation of an exhaustive series of similar
books with the same title, each to be devoted
to the art of a single country. The first to ap-
pear will be one on British art, by Sir Walter

Armstrong.
We have occasionally Yentured to poke q
little friendly fun at the busy useful authors
who, no doubt do lot Of very credtable work,
but whose foible it IS to t,atter themselves that
they are nothing if not artists They are,
of course, honorable journeymen and little else.
Why should one poke fun at them? Surely not
10 hurt their feelings. or to belittle what they
do, but just to keep in mind the fact that
literature has its perspective, its standards, its
ideals Your artist is after all. none the
worse off for little sense of proportion. His
tendency to dispense with this precious aid to
reason is touched upon by MIR. Lang in some
sentences which may seem trifle petulant,
but are worth reading just the same. He says:
The use of the word "art" in connection with
contemporary novels begins to weary
me; nay. it has long wearied most persons of
and education. do not wiSh with Mr.
Carlyle that 1.-The Devil would fly away with
the fine arts'-indeed. ne seems to have done
that already But do wish that people would
cease to ''haver' about art in relation to third
rate modern novels At most they are art
fabrics" such as are advertised in connection
with summer sales. Is it probable that Plato
or Petronius Arbiter or even Apuleius-and he
was decadent enough-wOud have talked of
their prose as an art? Mr.. FrOude, when asked
how he acquired his style. replied that he SIM
ply wrote what he had to say to the world: he
not the man to make pOther about his
art"
Let all the arguments that have been made
by the deyotees of Flaubert, Stevenson and
Henry james be taken as read" 1t is not
necessary to discount them in any way IN
order to see that they leave unassailable the
position taken in the foregoing passage.
The retort of the author dissatisfied with his
critic sometimes goes wide of the mark in a
way that is half amusing, half pathetic. One
of the craft, author of a story of suburban life,
is perurbed because a reviewer spoke of the
characters in it as mot merely undistinguished,
but unimpressive." This seems to him hardly
fair. and he writes to THE Spectator" to say
SO, pointing out that he tried first of all to be
truthful. The people he set out to depict were,
lie maintains undistinguished and unimpres-
sivc, excellent folk in the main but over
civilized and materialized into q uniform drab-
ness and Il certain deadly form of quite re
spectacle but entirely hopeless vulgarity.' Re
solved to be sincere in his work, he maintains
that his portraits should not depart from
truth, and proudly asks, should I, for ex-
ample have been sincere had l made my
suburban comedy tissue of eXcitements, full
of verve and actuality and most distinguished
characters?' No, it is quite impossible that
any sane reviewer could ask him to do any
thing of the sort. Did the particular reviewer
in question have such an idea in his mind ?
Not for 4 moment The point which this
novelist seems to have missed is that undis-
tinguished types may be made impressive with
out recourse to "a tissue of eXcitementS-
and that they have otherwise no business in
novel If he wants some light on the sub
iect let hiIl read BalZac.

FIRST HONOR TO .
WENATCHEE
Wins Chelan Inter-COunty Meet by
Good Margin.-Chelan
Second.

Before large and enthusiastic
crowd of rooters, in which the fair
sex was well represented. Saturday
afternoon, Wenatchee took first hon
ors in the Chelan county inter-high
track and field meet. Chelan made
the next best showing, but did not
quite come up to her expectations, be-
cause of the fact that Louis Wapato,
her much-heralded athlete was just
recovering from a twO-weeks' sick
ness. However, Mr.. Wapato cap
tured two firsts, one second and one
third place for Chelan. Wenatchee
was handicapped by the loss of two
of her best men who were behind in
their studies.
Comparing the results of this meet
with those of the meet of Lincoln
county schools at Harrington, better
time was made at Wenatchee in quite
a few events, and in the pole vault
the highest point reached at Har-
rington was feet inches, while

MISS T|BBIT'S GETS
GOLD MEDAL
Wenatchee Awarded First Prize in
OratOrical Contest with Chelan
a Close Second.

Before large audience at Wenat-
chez Theatre, Miss Helen Tibbits, of
Wenatchee, was awarded first prize
and Miss Dora Storhow, of Chelan,
second prize in the oratorical con-
test held Saturday evening. The
other contestants were given honora-
bic mention by the judges.
The selections were given in a
very creditable manner, the delivery
in which the contestants gave their
selections was very excellent and
showed long, hard training. In fact,
the contest was very close, so close
that the judges were in doubt as to
whom to award the prizes. They fl
nally and after much deliberation
awarded the first to Miss Helen Tib-
bits of Wenatchee and the second to
Miss Dora Storhow. Miss Tibbits re-
ceived the gold medal and Miss Stor-
how silver one.
The debate, which was to take
place between Chelan and Cashmere
High Schools was awarded to Chelan,
who takes the banner.
The Chelan debating team came
prepared to debate on either side of
the, question, but Cashmere refused
to debate at the time proposed by
the committee, and SO the debate
went to Chelan by default.

There was very light vote cast
at the primaries in Wenatchee and

due largely to the fact that many of
the voters had failed to register.
There seems to have been either
some misunderstanding as to the ne

a general lack of interest.

A tragedy, the equal of which has
probably never been heretofore re-
corded in the history of this section
of the state has just been enacted in
Chelan and Douglas counties.
The stealing of the horses from
the Eagle and Arrow livery barns in
Wenatchee, the attempt to sell the
horses at Water Vile, the man hunt
across Douglas county, race of 25
miles as the young men headed east
ward, the finding of their bodies in
the bottom of a lake near Stratford,
, and the letter to the sweetheart of
one in far away England-this is the
setting for a drama in real life.
AS recorded in a former issue of
the World, the young men left We
natchee last Wednesday, one on a
horse from the Eagle and the other
from the Arrow livery of this city.
Not returning the following day, and
being informed by a man from Wa
terville that the boys were in that
vicinity a search was instituted.
Starting eastward they were fol-
lowed by the authorities. from Water
vile. The chase was a lively one.
When in the eastern part of Doug
las county they were met by the dep
uty sheriff. Stopping his horse, the
deputy sheriff prepared to make the
arrest as they came up. Perceiving
his intent, the thieves wheeled their
horses and started in the opposite
direction. For several miles he
chased them. Striking a trail the

suers. The trail led to Brook Lake,
near Stratford.
1t is believed they attempted to
make their horses swim the lake, aud
while in the water one of them fell
off, dragging the ether down with
him. Their hats were found tioating
on the lake by the officers, VINO, be-
lieving it was a ruse, continued their
search. However, it was evident that
the trail ended at the lake, and d
search revealed the two bodies locked
in deadly embrace at the bottom of
the lake.
One Body is Identified.
A dispatch from Wilson Creek
says: One of the young men whose
bodies were recovered tonight from
Brook Lake was identified by j. ".
Doneen, farmer living on the south
side of Badger mountain, ten miles
from Wenatchee, as Harry Hadfield,
a young Englishman, who had been
in this country but short time. Let
ters on the young man showed that
he had a sweetheart in England, and
his mothers name is Mrs. Dora Had
field, IA Wilkinson street, Lancaster,
England. He has a sister, named
Mrs. Mau, who lives on Craig noun
tain, Idaho, 20 miles from Lewiston.
Letters on his person indicate that
he had been well raised, and was not
professional crook.
There was nothing about the per-
son of the other young man to indi-
ate his identity. He was about 25
years of age and bore strong re-
semblance to his partner. Only three
cents were found on the unidenti-
fed man, and Hadfield had no
money. The hour of the death OF
the men was indicated by the STOP
ping of a watch found on the per-
son of the unidentified young man,
which occurred at 1882 Friday,
about Is minutes before one posse
passed the place where they were
drowned, and about half an hour be-
fore another posse came up. The
bodies were brought to Wilson Creek

will have to face a charge of pla-
giarism which is of such severe ma
ture that 1t may place him entirely
out of the contest
The charges will be preferred by
the Prohibition league of Mcpherson
college, which it is stated, holds the
proof. The Grafton by which Harvey
Smith won first place in the state
league contest is largely copied after
a lecture written and delivered many
times by Ewin 8. Chapman, D. D., L.
L. D.. and entitled 1.-THE Stainless
Flag" In fact sentences and para
graphs correspond word for word.
1t happened that while two MIC
Pherson college students were spend
ing their vacation in California. thew
were attracted to one of DR.. Chap
mans lectures and were so impressed
with the address that each bought
copy of the speech, as it was Of
fered for sale in the pamphlet form.
When the contesting orarfons for the
State Prohibition league were first
published. one of the Mcpherson col
lege boys thought he noticed a SINH
lartty between Smiths Grafton and
an address he had heard before. He
thought very little of it, however,
until he heard the Grafton delivered
