DR.. BULLS DEVOTION.
How Bust Of Eminent Surgeon Was
Finished During His Illness.

Knowing early last spring that he
was doomed and sharing that unhap-
by secret in calm stoicism with his
wife, DIR. William T. Bull, the eminent
New York surgeon, suddenly threw all
the remaining energies Of his health
into making as nearly as possible
gift to Mrs. Bull which should survive
their crucial months of his coming
struggle with death and remain as an
everlasting and especially personal to-
ken Of his affection. a year previous
~ he had given to Miss Enid YandeH
an order for bust of himself, but
had not paid much attention to the
progress of the work. Only two sit
tings for the artist had found a place
In his busy life.

sittings for her with the greatest en-

was possible for Miss Yandell to util-

He won his main object, for the
plastic bust was done, carrying a Won
derful likeness, only few days be-
fore the disease marked him visibly.
He went to Newport for the summer,
satisfied with the result and anxious
to see the finished bronze Of the por-
trait bust. This was not denied him,

The bust of I,r Bull is about thirty

ment For lawbreakers.
1t is the problem of all ages to make
the punishment fit the crime, but they
seem to have come nearer its solution
in Plantagenet times than they ever
were after the Introduction of hogging.
When burglary meant the total ruin
of the man who kept his whole for
tune in his house the burglar was
hanged But in the same period pub
lie ridicule served as a punishment for
most crimes. and the man who sold
bad meat was placed in the pillory and
his bad meat burned to windward OF
him; the vintner who sold bad wine
was forced to drink some of 1t and the
rest was poured over his head; for
more serious offenses the criminal had
to walk along Cheapside bareheaded,
dressed only in a shirt and carrying a
wax taper, escorted by the mayors
sergeants.
The result was that law and order
were maintained far better than when

TWO SOCIAL PARASITES"
Professor Mcneil Considers Smart Set
and Tramp Set Both Useless.

0tiu iIdT1R OCT OOtT OSSlSSSs
The smart set In large American cit
les and the tramp set are on the same
level as far as personal worth and
usefulness to society are concerned, ac-
cording to Professor William H Nc
Neil Of the University of Minnesota in
talk the other day to the Literary
club, University of Chicago
THE term smart set has very re-
pugnant sound in my ears" said Pro-
fessor Mcneil. pray tell me what
good this species of humankind are to
the world? The smart set and the
tramp set-the latter you find in empty
freight cars or in the alleys Of your
city-are both social parasites. The
tramp, starved and knocked about
mortal, contributes nothing to human
progress and edification The other
creature, the doll headed, smart soci-
ETY. woman, is as useless as the de-
spised tramp.
The smart set has often been the
fast set in our large cities They have
had marital troubles Of all kinds. They
have done nothing to relieve the suf-
fering poor in their communities. They
have lived like the pagans of ancient
Rome.

dislike for work, would do precisely

I am an artists model. I never pose,

They have found me very versatile in
this respect, and 1 have been success

I can at any time work myself into
any required mood, and this gives the
artist the expression which comes from
the model really feeling what is ex-
pressed. Indeed. it can be expressed in
no other way. When you began to talk

A DREADFUL WEAPON.
The slashins Sharks Teeth Club ct
the PoIynesians.


the PoIynesians.
Clubs were the weapons of primitive
and savage man. Ancient specimens
from Mexico are heavy sticks grooved
along the side for the insertion of
blades of bosidian-that is, volcanic
glass. The Sioux club is fat piece
Of wood, curving and widening away
from the grip and terminating in
spherical head. which in modern times
carries long spike, while the blades
Of several butcher knives are common
~ inserted along the margin. The ma
tional museum of the United States
possesses a great variety of these
shocking weapons, designed, as the
frontiersmen say, to ''knOck down the
white man and then to brain him and
cut him into mince meat" The Kings
mill islanders and other Polynesians
make dreadful slashing weapons by Sc
curing rows of sharks teeth along a
haft of wood.
These weapons vary from few
inches to sixteen feet in length, and it
has been said that in all the range of
weapons devised by mankind there is
nothing more blood curdling to behold.
They show how the sword may have
been evolved from the club even by
tribes unacquainted with the use of
metals. African weapons, again, are
exceedingly complicated owing to the
acquaintance of the natives with iron.
The standard club is converted into a
sort of tomahawk by the addition OF
blades or into primitive spear by the
addition of sharp spud. The plain
clubs in the African area are used
chiefly for throwing.
The small knobbed clubs, or 'ker-
ries,'' such as are found among the
Kaffirs and other African tribes, are
generally used as missiles. Whereas
the club proper was soon brought tc
perfection among savage tribes and
was long ago abandoned as weapon
of civilized warfare, the missile-typi
fed by the thrown clubs or ''kerries'-
is still being improved upon in boom
erangs, bows and arrows, crossbows
and firearms.

Mr.. Irvine said that ultimately there
would be hall built on the place.

NO CALL FOR BUSINESS PESSIMISM, SAYS FRANKLIN K. lane
INTERSTATE COMMISSIONER CALLS Mr.. HILL "JlM DUMPS
AND GIVES our ENCOURAGING STATISTICS.
Declares That Reports Show the Railroads t. Be Earning Much
More Per Mile Than in Last Presidential Year---Thnks
Depression is Only Temporary.

Washington, D. C.-Some remarks
about conditions in the railroad
world which were contained in an in
terview with James j. Hill in New
York brought. out O. response from
Franklin K. Lane, a member of the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Here is part of Mr. Lanes statement:
1.-THE whole. world has a great adj
miration for Mr.. Hill, but l do wish
he would not be so lugubrious. Jim
Dumps has not yet superseded the
optimistic Uncle Sam as the typical
American. A year ago Mr.. Hill said
that the railroads had failed to meet
the traffic necessities of the country;
that there had been a steady increase
in business which the railroads had
not met and that it would be neces-
sary to invest $5,500,0O0,00O in pro-
viding equipment, double tracks and
terminals to handle the business of
the country properly. And now be-
cause for two or three months the
railroads have been able to handle
more business than was offered them
we are met on all hands with the cry
that the country is going to the bow
bows.
What is the necessity for painting
the picture blacker than it is? Does
it arise out of the fact that Congress
is in session, or that there is a Presi-
Dental election impending? Is a
man an enemy of the railroads be-
cause he refuses to believe every old
woman's tale that comes out of Wall
Street? l do not understand the rea-
son why at the time when railroad
credit should be upheld those who
ought to be most interested in sup
porting that credit are lending their
