1T PAYS TO KNOW HOW.
John Sharp Williams Tells the Where
fore Of Big Salaries.

Half a dozen southern members
were gathered in Democratic cloak
room of the house OF representatives
at recent session of congress, swap
ping yarns and discussing politics and
subjects of world interest generally,
when some one observed:
1T is remarkable to what great
magnitude the fees of successful cor
poratlon lawyers attain nowadays. In
nine cases out of ten the attorneys
render only few moments OF serv-
Ice; yet they are paid therefor enor-
nous sums of money"
John Sharp Williams, the Democrat.
ic floor leader, nodded in assent. The
solution OF such an extravagant situa
tion," he replied, is in the fact that
while the lawyers may render but
slight service, apparently superficially
their work is founded on such solid.
ly founded knowledge base that their
counsel is worth the money, and per-
haps more.
Il can illustrate better by telling
you of an experience / had down in
jackson, in my home town, with a
plumber had called in to repair some
water pipes in the kitchen. | had at
tempted to fix 'em up, and had worked
hard an hour or two, getting my
clothes grimy, mutilating a thumb and
incidentally my reputation for chaste
speech; but all to no success. Finally,
when | had exhausted myself and
qualified suit Of clothes for the
cleanser l decided to cell in the
plumber.
THE plumber looked at the pipes
wisely for a moment, reached for his
hammer, struck the offending tubes a
healthy stroke or two, then passed
the amenities of the day and walked
out The next week l received a bill
for S1O25. l thought the charge ex-
orbitant, and told him so.
ITS too much for such a simple
job, ! demonstrated Anyhow, where
does the 25 cents come in? It's a
funny looking bill, and don't under
stand it. Suppose you itemize the ac.
count so that l can understand
He said he would, and the follow
ing morning l received this: TO fix

Misses Julia and Eta Bolton. aged -

OF II. II. Bolton. They lived near Hat

from Mobile.
Eta and Julia. with Miss Stella Bre-
land, II years old. and Miss NJ. Extein
went swimming ln Purvis creek, not
far from the Bolton home. Miss Bre-
land suddenly lost control OF her limbs
and sank. AS she went down the sec

Julia Bolton dived Just as Miss Bre-
land sank for the third time, and
caught the drowning girl by her left
foot. After a desperate struggle she
pulled her friend to the bank. where
the other girls helped get her out Of
the water. Miss Breland was uncon.
scious. Julia Bolton was thoroughly
exhausted Both were taken to the
Bolton home. where they were soon
joined by the father Of Miss Breland.
Eta Bolton was free rural mail
carrier in Alabama when she brought
fame upon herself She was driving
her mail wagon across a swollen
stream over a rickety bridge. The
structure gave way and the girl, horse,
wagon and contents were pitched into
the turbulent waters.
Miss Bolton swan out then plunged
again into the torrent. and though the
current was sweeping her down
stream, she removed the harness from
the horse. gathered the sacks and
pouch under one arm. and, guiding her
horse with the other. struggled to the

The new wing carries the line Of the
corner tower on the west nearly city
block northwest thus giving the first
suggestion of the appearance OF the
west front as it will ultimately ap-
pear. The great building viii some
day occupy the entire space facing
Central park. measuring three city
blocks in length and one avenue block

roof line.
Despite the apparently endless cor

museum is badly cramped for room.
There are tons Of valuable material.

impossible to display Space in the
wing with its five broad floors is, how
ever. already heavily mortgaged.
With many exhibits demanding space,
it has been decided to devote the new
wing to the new Congo and Philippine
collections. The Congo exhibit, re-
Gently obtained in Belgium, of unusual
popular as we'll as scientific interest, is
especially timely. It is believed it
will make a very strong popular ap-
peal and will amply justify the space
devoted to it,
The second wing, which is available
for exhibition purposes this year. leads
from the central power house directly
westward. While smaller than the
south wing on the street side, it is
nevertheless an important addition to
the museum. This wing will be given
over to various fish exhibits. 1t will
soon be thrown open to the public
These wings together make the most
important addition to the museum in
some six years.
AS in the case Of its neighbor, the
Metropolitan museum, the new wing
stands practically complete so far as
its outer appearance is concerned.
The brown stone used in its construc
ton is of course somewhat lighter in
tone than in the older parts of the
building. but few years of exposure
will correct this.
The new addition to the Brooklyn
Institute museum has already doubled
the capacity of the building. The
work here has been completed some
months in advance of the similar addi-
tions to the other city museums. The
completion of this wing has done more
for the general appearance of the
building than have the additions to
the other museums. An entire facade
of the Brooklyn museum now stands
completed where before a single wing
appeared somewhat isolated and de.
taehed. The museum will ultimately
inclose a great hollow square, with i'm
pressive towers at the four corners
and with elaborate staircases leading
up at the center of each side. The
new wing carries the building from
the central entrance to the corner.
thus rendering the facades symmet,
rical
The new wing has so far cost s2..
100000, and it stands to-day less than
one-fourth complete. The central
staircase and approach to the east
wing cost alone nearly $4,000. 1t is
in some respects the most beautiful
architectural feature in he city.

LOST PIN ODDLY RECOVERED.
Fraternity Badge Travels Far in Old
Paper.

Marion, Ind.--Earl r. Hunt of In
dianapolis, member of the 1906 class
of De Pauw university, lost a Sigma
Chi fraternity badge while driving
from Greencastle to Cloverdale in
Putnam county, two months ago. The
pin has just been found in the beat
ers' at the Marion paper mills.
The supposition is that the badge.
which was set with opals, was gath.
cred up in old papers which were
baled and shipped to the Marion paper
plant. The fraternity pin was dis.
posed Of by the man who found it to
local ieweler at nominal price. The
pin was placed in the show window.
where it was soon discovered by a
member of the fraternity and its
owner was identified by the name and
chapter on the back of the pin.

ENGLISH ARTISTS NOT SAILORS.
For Them Tennis Is the Chief Recrea.
tion-Little Golf.

The number of English artists who
take to the sea as a pastime may prob
ably be numbered on the fingers of
one hand, and these for the most part
pursue maritime art as a profession.
1t comes, therefore, as a surprise to
hear of French artist, and especially
one with tastes apparently so Partisan
as NJ. Paul Hellu, having from his
youth upward INDUCED a pastime
for sailing, and now in the hey
day of success flying the British flag
above an English built yacht. with
Southampton as his headquarters.
1t is given to few artists to be able
to afford the expense of a vessel Of
considerable size, but NJ Helleu just
now is basking in the sunshine Of
prosperity and worldwide renown
The story goes that he recently made
$4,000 francs from two etchings that
only cost him two afternoons work.
In company with NJ. Sem he will prob
ably cross to Trouville and other
French watering places at the close
of the Cowes and Ryer weeks.
British artists as a rule affect lawn
tennis as a recreation in preference
to any other game At this they at
tain a level of excellence which they
as body appear unable to reach at
cricket. golf or football Mr. Abey,
r. A., for some years captained a
team Of artists, and has even had a
cricket week at his country home,
but both these popular functions have
we understand, been abandoned this
year. Tennis can, of course, be more
easily practiced. especially by those
artists so fortunate as to possess
large gardens, and Mr. Shannon, A. R.
A., even aspires to enter the lists of
the premier tournament abroad, name
ly, Homburg, where he probably at
this moment is playing a lively game
on the courts whereon for many years
a very prominent figure was his old
neighbor Van Prinsep.

In wet or stormy weather cats will

mounds of earth. bats fly about in a
restless manner and penetrate into the
houses. When the skylark sings and
the cock crows earlier than usual it is
a sign that storm is brewing. At
such time, too, rocks and ravens ut

are agitated, and swallows fly low
