Sixina Up Bernard Shaw.

Bernard Shaw Is thus immortalized by Charles Hawtrey, the well known English comedian: "Onee on time had mad desire to produce Shaw's play of You Never Can Fell I wrote to Shaw and asked his permission. He answered that he would come and read 1t to me. He did and began by saying that sometimes he thought 1t was the best play that ever was writ ten and at others he considered it the greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of opinion that it was pretty poor play and that if produced it-well, must take the consequences. Some time afterward I asked Shaw if I could compress the last act. He declined to allow one line to be altered or cut out. In view of certain contingencies I had Iat last to tell him that I couldn't pro- the play. His aDswer was:

Scotland and Horse Racine.

Scotland has been famous for it's horses from the most ancient days. When Agricola defeated the Caledo- nians at the battle of the Grampians, A D. S4, the Celtic enemy, as Tacitus relates, were exceptionally strong in cavalry and charioteers. Successive kings of Scotland did much to improve its native breed of horses, and In this connection It Is not to be forgotten that the first Scottish king of Eng land, James l., did more to improve the race horses in our island than was ever done before him or has ever been done by any individual since James l. was the real author of horse racing as 1t has since been known in England He 1t was who first established regu. lax courses, and during his reign there came into being the code of regula- tions that led up to the modern laws of the turf Nobody denies that horse racing has ,se much for the breed of British horses It was a gift from Scotland.-London Answers.

4 Very RestfuI Rest.

Adolf Menzel, the German artist, It one time engaged on mural deco. ration. He had rigged up scaffoldips ID his studio, on which his model was requested to stand For two long hours the poor poseur stood up aloft n a most fatiguing posture. Menz4 ID the meantime worked at his sketch. needless of the fact that his model wss growing tired.
 At length the model found 1t neces. sary to speak. Herr professor, said he, how about reeessf"
 Menzel apologized profusely for his Expenditures. Certainly, certainly, my dear sir" said he Come down and rest yourself a bit"
 The model had clambered from the bcaffolding to the ladder. which led pown from it to the studio floor.
 Stop" cried tue artist suddenly. ~That pose is fine. Don't move a mus clev'
 And once more the model was forced Into strained rigidity, while the enthu- elastic draftsinan set about sketching him.
 At the end of half an hour Menzel looked up from his work. There" Said he; that will do nicely! Get back on the seaffold. We have had our rest. Let us get back to work again"
 What the model said is left to the readers imagination.

Court Confirms Carver Sale.

The three tracts of land, sold
under order in the case of John
Deere Plow Company against J. 5.
Carver, to Messrs. w. &. Graichen,
Clarence Lloyd and Joseph II.
FunkhOuser, were confirmed by the
Circuit Court. and the special
warranty of title was ordered.
The bid on the fourth tract put
up at the same sale. known as the
Gaines Neck land. was rejected by
the Court, and an upset bid by
Messrs. Warden and Coleman of
1925 per acre was recorded. The
land was ordered cried for another
sale at Boyce. and, if there is no
higher hid than 81. % per acre. that
prioe will be accepted. 1t is said
that a number of parties desire the
land for grazing purposes, and that
1t is likely that the price will be
advanced.
The tract sold To Mr.. Graichen.
known as the home tract. contains
249 acres, and mas nice dwelling,
barn. and other buildings. The
price paid was $4,000 per acre. or.
roughly. Sl6.1S5
The tract sold TO Mr.. Lloyd.
known "a the Smallwood tract. con-
tains nearly 81 acres. The price
was $50 per acre. or. roughly.
1919.
The tract sold to Mr.. Funk
houscr, known AS the Ashby Gap
tract. contains 40 acres. The
price aS $3.50 rer acre. making
a total of S2.635.
1t will thus be seen that the three
tracts sold and confirmed by the
Court brought more than $4,000.

DREAM INSPIRATION.
intellectual Achievements Born of
Visions In Sleep.

Visions In Sleep.
II is well known. says II. AddinSton
Bruce in Success Magazine. that
dreams have stimulated men 20 re-
markable intellectual achievements
and have even supplied the material
for these achievements. Thus Cole
ridge composed "Kublai Khan" 10
dream. Tartini got his Devils So
nata' from n dream In which the devil
appeared and challenged him 20 a mu-
sical competition. IL was 4 dream that
gave voltsire the first canto Of his
"Henriade." and Dante's "Divina Com
media" is likewise said 10 have been
inspired by a dream.
Many novelists on their own admis-
sion have obtained the plots for some
OF their best works from materials
provided in dreams. y particularly
impressive instance is that OF Robert
Louis Stevenson. whose Chapter on
Dreams" in his book Across the
Plains" should be read by all who
would learn what dreams can do FOR 4
man intellectually The solution Of
battling mathematical problems. the
ideas necessary 10 complete some in
vention. have been supplied by dreams.
Occasionally the dreamer has been
known 70 rise in his sleep and jot
down the information thus acquired.
In such cases he usually forcets all
about the helpful dream and on awak-
ing is greatly surprised NJ finding the
record he has made of it. which shows
that-as with the visions - potently
influencing health-it is possible for
dreams 10 aid a man in an intellectual
way without his being consciously
aware OF them.
