Herkomer and His Father


The Scholars Own" tells a very
pretty story OF Sir Hubert Herkonler
and his father. which will almost i'm
peril the fame of AeneasS for fliaI
piety. Professor Herkomer brought
his father from his native land of
Germany to live with him in his beau
tiful house near London. The old man
used to model in clay In his early life,
and now that he had leisure he took TO
1t again In his old age. But his hands
trembled. and the work showed signs
OF impcrfection. 1t was his one sor-
row. At night he went to bed early.
and when he had gone his son would
go into the studio. take his fathers
poor work and make 1t as beautiful
as possible. When the old man came
down In the morning he would look
at the work and rub his hands. and
say: 'Ha! can do as well as ever I

Should Quit Right Now.

II the country newspaper man
would cease TO act as free-will, un-
paid and unthanked agent for the
city dailies it would be better for
country newspapers in general. The
little street gamin has his price for
selling the city daily on the streets,
but the country editor will hire a liv-

he succeeds in selling a half dozen
city dailies to the farmers at the reg
ular price of such papers to agents,
without any compensation Whatever.
except the poor privilege Of including
his own paper at a discount Of from

its exultation over the increase IN

in foreign commerce for the year was
about $4,000 COO but the gain In cx.

shown in leather, paper, apples and

fear experienced a fcw years ago lest
southern competition would destroy the

While the intention Of the law with
reference to the clearing OF trees OF
the nests of the brown-tail moths was
To provide remedy for the public in
the case of Indifference or neglect on
the part OF private owners, there is "A
possibility Of injustice toward innocent
and well meaning citizens. as unhap-
PLY is too frequently the case when
an attempt is made TO deal with any
evil OF considerable magnitude. The
law provides that If a private owner
has not caused the nests to be removed
before certain date, the city or town
may cause them TO be removed at the
owners expense, up to certain per
cent OF the valuation Of the property
for the purposes of taxation. This pro-
vision has the appearance of being
entirely just, and unquestionably was
intended TO be so, but II is possible
that injustice may be done under IL.
Take for example, the case OF n per-
son who attempted conscientiously
to comply with the requirements OF the
law and engaged another to clear up
the trees. The work might be faith
fully done in the main, and yet a few
nests on single tree might be over
looked After n time the representa-
tivcs Of the town or city come upon
the premises, look over the trees for
hours after the nests have been dis
covered, or before, and charge up an
account based on all the time spent
in hunting for what was not there. II
is plain that n considerable injustice
Is easily possible In such a case, where
time spent in accomplishing nothing
can be charged TO an owner who has
already paid once for having his trees
taken care OF
