Tho Romano. Of Buried Picture,

A romantic story of a picture pur-
chased at a London auction which on
expert examination proved to be paint
ed over a Rembrandt worth $4,000 is
curiously reminiscent Of the discovery
of a Correggio under similar circum-
stances. A good many years ago two
picture restorers, Lovera and Hunter
spergh, bought at an art sale in Rome
number Of old pictures In order to
provide themselves with canvases for
repainting. In the division of the
spoils Hunterspergh received an indif-
ferent picture of flowers, on which he
painted a study OF head. This pic
ture he offered to Lovera, who on close
examination found that the new
ground scaled on and that underneath
were traces of figure painted in
style that denoted the hand Of a mas
ter. Replacing the scales and conceal
ing his discovery, he purchased the
picture for little more than the value
Of the canvas. Removing the two
grounds, he disclosed an exceedingly
clever painting by Correggio. which he
sold to the Earl of Bristol for f1,500.-

CHILDREN'S DAY
AT WEST CHURCH

Chlldren's Day exercises at West
Presbyterian Sabbath school we're the
most delightful in the history OF the
school. The program was presented In
the church auditorium in the evening
TO a large audience.
Frank Sheppard. the school superin-
tendent, presided, and a happy address
on the subject THE Story Of the Starry
Dipper" was made by the Rev. Alexan-
der Alison. Jr., the church pastor. The
children Of the school presented an IN
teresting and creditable program under
the direction Of Miss Grace Baird, and
their drill movements, enunciation and
detail work were very noticeable. Par
ticularly interesting and beautiful was
a flower drill by a class of twelve girls
and the closing exercise, entitled The
Cross and the Flag" While the church
lights were lowered a white cross, IL
Illuminated by colored lights, loomed up
before the flag, conveying the idea that
the cross and the flag should be insep-
arabic. and making a beautiful climax
to the program Of the evening. The
exercises were concluded with the
singing OF the 'Red. White and Blue"

poas ofLuxury,

The appearance Of little dogs as OBJ
jects of luxury goes back to the most
ancient times. Documents are not
wanting that go to show that Greek
and Roman women had little dogs
which were idolized by their mistress
es. Even men, particularly among for
eigners, were not ashamed to walk the
streets of Rome with yet dogs under
their arms. Speaking Of this subject
Plutarch relates that Julius Caesar,
seeing one day in Rome some strangers
thus loaded with their dogs, asked
them ironically whether the women OF
their country did not bear children.
Tertia, the daughter of Lucius Aure-
Illus Paulus, was so fond OF her dog
that in the moment Of bidding farewell
to her father, who was about to leave
his country and his family to wage
war against Perseus, king Of Macedo-
mia, she frankly admitted that the sad
ness imprinted on her face was due to
the death Of her pet dog Persa. In
Europe the greyhounds were the FIRST
favorites Of women during the middle
ages.-Boston Post

A lesson In Thrift.

A lesson in thrift is found in the ad-
vice given by Congressman John f.
Andrus to a young man for whom he
had secured minor appointment in
the capitol at Washington. Meeting
the young fellow in the capitol, he
placed a hand on his shoulder and re-
marked:
William, you are just beginning
your life. Let me give you a bit Of
sound advice: When you leave your

take more than 80 cents in your pock-

There's . Hare In the Moon.

Equally famous with the man in the
moon and the woman in the moon is
the hare IN the moon, says Garrett p.
Serviss in his Astronomy With the
Naked Eye" The original is a Bud
dhist legend. The god Sakkria, dis.
gulsed as a Brahman, pretended to be
starving and went to the animals for
help. The monkey got him a bunch Of
mangoes; the coot picked up a fisher
mans neglected string for him; the
fox stole him a pot OF milk. At last
the god approached the hare. II have
nothing but grass" said the hare. 'and
you can't eat that" But your flesh is
good" suggested the pretended Brah-
man. The hare assented. Then" said
the Brahman. "Ill kindle a fire at the
foot Of this rock, and you jump OF into
It. That'll save me the trouble Of kill
ing you" The hare assented again,
but as he leaped from the rock the god
caught him in his arms and then drew
his figure In the moon as a perpetual
reminder OF the excellence Of self sac
