LION AFRAID OF eoARHouND.
Tanners Use Big Dogs to Keep Unruly
Charges In Subjeetion.

The boarhound growled, and the
great yellow lion leaped back in fear
"The lion could kill the hound" the
trainer said, but he doesn't think so.
He thinks the hound could easily kill
him"
"Why?"
when the lion was a cub, this boar
hound, fullgrown, lived in the cage
with him. The big dog could, of
course, lick the little cub, and the cub
therefore feared and respected him
Now the cub is grown up, but he still
thinks the hound is the better man.

Laziness is no sign of mental inferi-

II Is only recently, DR.. Wright fur

has been any different from the lower

long ago work was considered dis
graceful rather than meritorious, and
Europeans who attempted to found
colonies in the new world actually

DUE CREDIT GIVEN TO WOMEN
Their Work Has Lifted Magazine Illus.
tration to Fine Art.

After many years of public patience
magazine illustrators as a class tacitly
have acknowledged the necessity Of
reading a story to draw good pictures
for II. Time was when the average
artist" contented himself with a
glance at a few lines extracted from
the story which he was expected to
express in an illustration. He illus
trated that passage without a thought
of the context and with none too much
regard for the passage itself AS a
result one would read. "She crossed
the room majestically and stood look
ing down at him." and in the picture
would see the heroine placidly re-
garding the hero from the recesses of
an easy chair. As for women being
blonde in the story and brunette in
the illustrations, that was the rule
rather than the exception. The ad-
vent of woman into the world Of mag
azine illustration possibly has had
something to do with the reform No
woman artist would draw a heroine
with her hat on when the text called
for an opera scarf She would not
have a character sitting when he or
she should stand. Nor would
she make the heroine look 35 years
old in chapter l. and 18 In chapter II.
Anyway, whether the credit be due
TO womankind or merely to progress
In the general conscientiousness of H.
lustrators, the result is gratifying.

CLING FAST TO ANCIENT LAW
Russian Hebrews Particular to the
Letter Of Their Faith.

"Cnarity work among the Russian
and Polish Hebrews has some very
peculiar features" says a lady prom
inently identified with one of the lead
ing Jewish charitable associations OF
st. Louis.
"The Russian Jews are all of the or.
thodox faith, and have many usages
that to other Jewish people seem
strange, sometimes unreasonable. For
instance, the law of Moses says: Thou
shalt not seethe a kid in his moth.
er's milk and from this command
which was probably intended to EN-.
phasize the sentiment of mercy. the
orthodox rabbis drew a long string of
conclusions, which, in substance.
amounted to this, that milk or any.
thing made with milk, ought not to be
eaten at the same time with meat OF
anything made of meat. and also that
cooking utensils. plates. dishes. even
knives forks and spoons used for
meat. should not be used for anything
made with milk
so we are compelled in the charity
missions where the children of these
orthodox Hebrews are fed as well as
taught, to have two sets of cooking
utensils, Of dishes, plates, cup and
saucers, even of spoons, in order to
conciliate the foreigners and induce
them to permit their children TO at
tend. So firmly fixed are they in
this idea about the milk and meat
that not a Russian Hebrew would al.
low his children to come near the mis-.
sion unless he was assured that the
law would not be violated"

still further to the staircase, placed
one grimy hand gingerly upon the

A MOST NOVEL TRIP.
State MinerOlOeist Touring Mountains of
 Arkansas in an Automobile.

Beebe, June 16.-T'he first stop in the long trip of 800 miles through the mountains and val leys of Arkansas in an automO- bile undertaken by J. F. Whit lock, state mineralogiet, was made abruptly today when an axle of the big six-cylinder tour ing car broke a short distance from this place.
 The trip which at first appear ed fraught with almost as many difficulties as those encountered in the New York to P2ris race. still believed by Mr. Whitlock to be feasible, and as soon as a new axle can be secured from the fac tory, the journey will be con- tinued.
 The break occurred this morn ing in descending into a valley. The car was on level ground ant the accident was one which might have happened to any ma chine at any time or place an l under similar conditions.
 The journey after leaving Lit tie Rock, last night at 6 50 o'clock was almost without in- cident until the brea kdown Oc- cured Chaffeur Bowen sent the car whiZzing up the old BatesvilIe road, travelling north east out of Argenta. The road has been practically abandoned for nearly twenty years for distance of more than 35 mil es, but no difficulties were en- countered Mr. WhitlOck eX- pressed the opinion that this road could be reopened and put in good condition at little cost.
 The route taken led into El Paso valley and on into the mountains, where the party camped for the night. The wea- ther was clear and cold, and i'll the morning the trip was re- sumed, but soon the break oc- cured that necessit tated a stop at this point.
 Few people iu the ru.'ll dis. tricts had ever seen an autOmo- bile and the touring car was a source of wonder to them. Mir. Whitlock is optimistic ov- CT the result of his venture. and until the arrival of a new axle, will spend his time studying the mineral resources of this sec tiOn of the state.
