ARTHUR HARTMANN,

Like Josef Hoffman. Hartmann was
fortunate in finding a friend who re-
cognized the dangers of exposing so
young an artist to the glare of public
life. and who had the great kindness of

satisfaction Of seeing it flower into ra-

How Do You Lauah7

Laughter varies greatly. In the right
kind there is something contagious,
even if oneself be the cause Of it. 1t is
the product of good humor; there is
nothing concealed behind it. Frank,
spontaneous and whole souled, it has a
beneficial effect both on the laugher
and his hearers.
But there are other kinds of laugh
ter. OF these the sneering laugh is the
most familiar Then there is the quiet
laugh-a sibilant, secretive sort of
thing. which is almost invariably a
sign Of mischief. Another laugh. dis
agreeable to hear, is high pitched and
nervous sounding. 1t is the outcome of
embarrassment or merely vocal hab-
it.
Perhaps the worst laugh Of all is the
mirthless sound occasioned by the dis
tress or embarrassment Of others, and
it invariably wounds most the butt of
it, A person who has been thus laugh
ed at and hurt is never lively to forget
the experience.-Liverpo Mercury.

The Last of the Mohicans.

GOOD MAN is GUIDE.
Norwegian Minister a Fa-
nous Diplomat With Beau
tiful nife.

Owe GUIDE. the new minister sent
to represent the Norwegian govern.
ment in the United States, is dis.
tinctly a notable parsonage aside
from his prominence as a statesman.
He is a son of Prof. GUIDE, the ia
nous Norwegian landscape and ma
rine artist, and has inherited much
of his fathers skill with the brush.
Minister GUIDE has charmed the no
bility of England, France, Denmark
and Italy with his wonderful voice,
and is said to be one of the best
singers of Norwegian birth. Finally,
it may be noted, he speaks seven or
eight languages fluently. Minister
GUIDE has been in the diplomatic SER
vice for 80 years, and has served at
all the leading European capitals, as
well as in China and Japan.
Madame GUIDE will vie with Baro-
ness Sternberg for recognition as the
most beautiful woman in official life
at the national capital. Madame
GUIDE is Danish woman, the daugh-
ter of one of Denmark's most ia.
nous military leaders, and is much
younger than her husband, whose
second wife she is. Indeed, she
might almost be accounted a bride
for Minister GUIDE met and married
her only four years ago.

ATE so, 900 HORSES
That Was the Number Last
Year, Including Mules and
Donkeys

Although less meat was eaten in
Paris last year than for number of
years preceding the consumption of
horse meat is on a steady increase.
Paris has always set the fashion to
the rest of the world in gastronom.
ic affairs as we'll as in the matter of
women's attire. Foreigners resid-
ing in France are asking themselves
whether Parisians will carry their
love of horsef1esh into the restaurant
and dining room, says Paris letter.
A little less than $4,000 horses,
mules and donkeys were eaten in
Paris alone last year. This is the
proportion: For every hundred an
nimals butchered at the hippo-abat-
toirs there are ninety-seven horses,
two donkeys and one mule. Last
year the sum total represented
twenty-five million pounds of meat.
Many Americans and Englishmen
have become quite fond of horse
meat since their residence in Paris.
1t is said to be much more nutritious
than beef and is recommended by all
Paris physicians for convalescents
ard consumptives.
The taste is not very different
from that of beef. In fact, a man
can eat a horsesteak and never
know the difference. The abattoirs
where these animals are butchered
are closely supervised by the city,
and only healthy animals are slain.

"Mr. Davis has never had any an oc.

any other kidney medicine since he
recommended them in the summer
of 1908. For years prior to that
time he had been an almost constant
sufferer from kidney trouble. He
had intense pains in his back which
extended to his shoulders and annoy
ed him all day. They prevented him
from sleeping during the night.
The relief he obtained from the use
of Doan's Kidney Pills, which he got
at L. A. Johnson & Co.'S. drug store
was surprising. They acted differ

Afraid that I'm going TO elope with
Kater sneered Trent.
Il thought that you knew she was
aboard" retorted Paul. Il tell You
that you can't sail"
With an oath Trent struck at his RI.
val. but the blow was easily blocked,
and the next instant Paul had Trent
by the collar Dragging him away
from the gangplank, he gave orders for
the plank to be removed, but just as
the crew grasped the ropes to carry out
bis command a slender hgure sped
across the already moving boards and
sprang between the two men.
"You must let Mr.. Trent come, Paul,
pleaded Kate. Il know that it is i'm
portant that he should reach the main.
land Won't you please let him conner
mot until he explains this"
The three started at the sound OF
Captain Crosby's voice, and Trent made
an effort to slip from his captors and
spring aboard the steamer, which was
already slipping past the dock.
Crosby's grasp prevented the move
and Paul and Kate looked with aston
ishment at the suit case which had
been broken open when struck by the
gangplank and forced against post
1t was packed solid with greenbacks
and bonds in place of clothing.
ut looks to noe as though our friend
had paid visit to the bank just before

tracted two revolvers from Trents
overcoat pockets. I'm constable here
and guess well put Mr.. Trent where
be can't get away. He knew chat ev-
erybody ID be down to the dock to see
the steamer sail and it would be easy
to get into the vault of the First Ma
tional."
One glance at Trent's face showed
the constable's surmise to be correct,
and, with little cry, Kate swayed and
fell into Paups arms.
Rapidly he bore her into the tiny
office, shutting out the crowd Of Gu
rious citizens. who thereupon followed
Crosby and his prisoner toward the vii
lage lookup. 1t needed only a glass OF
water to revive Kate. and. with lit.
tie moan, she sat up.
"And to think that ! was going tc

MANY VICTIMS OF
GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Annual Celebration costs More
Lives Than Did any Battle
of the Revolution.

|
More people are killed in the Unit
ed States every year through Fourth
of July celebrations than were kill
ed in any battle of the Revolutionary
war, and the total number Of casual
ties of Fourth Of July celebrations
during the last four years is more
than double the total losses of the A.
mericans during the eight years of
the Revolutionary war, according to
statements contained in an article,
entitled 1.-THE Glorious Fourth" in
National Food Magazine. The mag
azine gives table of comparisons,
showing the losses in the battles of
the Revolutionary war compared
with the total casualties Of all the
Fourth of July celebrations since1903,
and says:
Every Fourth of July more people
in the United States are killed in eel,
ebrating our independence than were
killed in thesbloodiest battle of the
Revolutionary war. The killed and
injured during the last Fourth of
July was nearly ten times as great as
were the American losses at Bunker
Hill; it was fifty times as great as at
the combinedEbattles of Lexington
and Concord, more than sixty times
that of our losses at Bennington, over
seven times the Americans losses at
| Germantown, more than four times
| the number of our Esoldiers, killed,
wounded and imprisoned at the bat
tie Of Brandywine and more than
twice as great as all the losses the A
merican arms sustained at Camden.
"The list is nearly seven times as
great as the number of British killed
and wounded at Kings Mountain; it
is eight times as many as the Amer
lean losses at Eutau Springs; more
than ten times our losses at Guilford
Courthouse, and more that sixty-two
times as great as our losses at Cow
pens.
IF these comparisons are not
sufficiently convincing to prove the
horror and destructiveness Of our
Fourth of July celebrations, then
combine both the British and Amer
leans losses of the bloodiest battles
of the Revolution and multiply that
by two, and even then you will have
to add more to equal the figures of
the total casualties of our present
day Fourth of July celebrations.
And then, if that comparison is not
sufficiently convincing, the statistics
demonstrate that the casualties Of
every Fourth of July are greater
than the total number Of both Brit
ish and American soldiers engaged
in most of the battles of the Revo-
Ilutionary War.
1T should be remembered that the
losses in the battles mentioned in
clude the killed, wounded and the
number of prisoners taken.
"Other comparisons might be given
by citing the battle of Germantown,
where the Americans lost 1000 and
the British 600; Lexington and Con-
cord, with a British loss of 273
Camden, where TIE American loss
was 2,OOO;,King's Mountain, at which
the British lost 456 killed and wound
ed and 648 prisoners; Bennington,
where the British lost $50 and the
Americans 20.
Thus it is seen that our celebra-
ton of the victory over the British is
many times more disastrous than our
war with the British; that Great
Britain was never such an enemy to
us as is our own exultation."
