DON'T LIKE TO PAINT MEN
Miniaturlsts Declare They Are Too
Coarse and Harsh to Be Good
Subjects.

Perhaps woman ~suffragists don't
need to be cheered up a bit, but if
they do they may find a note Of glad
ness in the fact that there is another
class of persons besides themselves
who have no use for a man. They
are miniature painters.
Cant you paint a man in minia-
ture?" said the visitor, who had been
looking at dozens of dainty feminine
likenesses which reposed in a cab
met uncontaminated by association
with a single
I'VE can," said the artist, "and we
do, occasionally, but we don't want
to. Men don't look well in minia-
lures. They are too harsh, too
coarse. If a miniature is going to be
a real work of art it must have for
its subject something dainty, fluffy,
and lacy. There is nothing very fluff
fly or lacy about a mans stiff linen col
lar, his unsightly lapels, his straight,
short hair. In the days when men
wore satin coats and powdered curls,
miniature painters might have been
able to work them up into a pleasing
picture, but you don't meet many
men nowadays who wear satin coats
and powdered curls. Of course, if a
mar dressed in the ugly modern cos
tune wishes to be painted in minia-
ture no artist is going to refuse the
commission, but she certainly will
not approve of his taste"

PRESIDENT STARTS
ON LONG TOUR
Mr.. Taft Leaves Summer Home
at Beverly for Boston.
ON A $4,000 MILE JOURNEY
Details Of the Chief Executives Great
Swing Through the West and
South Lasting Nearly Two
Months.

Beverly, Mass, Sept. 15.-To-day,
the ~ffty-second anniversary of his
birth, President William H. Taft start
ed from his summer home here on
what will be one of the most notable
tours ever undertaken by a president
Of the United States. For almost two
months his private car will be a ro-
wing White House, and he will jour.
ney $4,000 miles and traverse most Of
the west and south before he lands in
Washington on November 10. He went
direct to Boston by motor car to-day
and will attend a banquet there, start
Ing Immediately after for Chicago.
Besides the president, the party In
cludes Capt. Archibald Butt, military
aide; Wendell w. Mischief, assistant

BALLINGER CASE RESTS
WILL HANG FIRE UNTIL AFTER
PRESIDENTS TRIP.
Chief Executive In Meantime VII
Thoroughly Study Issues and
Prepare Himself.

Washington, d. C.-The Balm
ger-Pinchot controversy will be al.
lowed to hang fire until President
Taft returns from his western trip.
Then, having himself gone over the
battle ground and been in touch with
the larger features of the general is
sue, the president will be ready to
settle the matter. AS a result OF Sec
rotary Ballinger's visit to Beverly, the
defense of the interior department in
connection with the CLAWS charges,
including all official papers bearing
on the case, will be turned over to
the attorney general. The opinion of
this official also will be ready for the
president on his return.
In official circles speculation Is d.
vided over the significance of the
presidents turning the Cunningham
cases over to the department Of JUS
tice. On one side it is said that this
action is merely in line with President
Taft's desire to sift the affair thor.
oroughly, without haste and without
prejudice. On the other hand, 1t is in
timated that the president may have
found the CLAWS charges serious
enough to warrant closer investiga-
ton and not fully answered by the
responses of the interior department
officials.
1t is pointed out, however. that one
result should follow this action, name.
ly, the stilling of public discussion OF
the Cunningham and Pinchot-B allinger
cases while the investigation is pend
ing. This Is devoutly desired by the
president, who is known to be heart
lily sick of the whole business, and the
bandying of charges back and forth
through the press.
When the president gets west he
will find Mr.. Pinchot already on the
scene. Secretary aBllinger will meet
him at Denver or Seattle. The pres
ident will talk with all sorts and con-
ditions of men about the conservative
policy, he will come across all shades
OF opinion and will get his informa-
tion and impressions at first hand.
1t is regarded as a significant coin
cidence that Postmaster General
Hitchcock will be attending a postal
convention on the coast about the
same time. The significance arises
from the fact that Mr.. Hitchcock is
still the presidents closest political
adviser and the additional fact that
this Pinchot-Ballinger row is loaded
with political dynamite. Every off
clal and politician in Washington is
aware Of the politics underneath the
surface of the controversy, and the
necessity for some skillfuI handling
and sailing close to the wind.

CHICAGO BUILDERS STRIKE
Work OF Northwestern Depot Stops
Because of Strife Be.
tween Unions.

Chicago, Ill.-All work on the
new Northwestern depot and other
large contracts came to a standstill
Saturday, when a strike of all the
building trades men employed on the
jobs was called.
The strike is the result of the war
between Skinny Madden and the
building trades department of the
American Federation of Labor. The
Madden unions remained at work on
the buildings, but it is said these will
be forced out, lacking the cooperation
of the men who struck. Both factions
are fighting to get control of the build
ing laborers.
John -. Metz, president of the
Building Trades Council, said it was
now a fight to the finish and that
there would be no further negotiations
with contractors who have been "firt-
ing with Madden and dragging along
the trouble in building trades.

Women in Postal Service.

The distinction of first appointing a
woman postmaster does not belong to
America, nor is the employment of
women in the postal service a new
idea. AS early as 1548 a woman post
master was appointed to look after
the mails of Braine lie Comte, an i'm
portant town of France. In the try
ing times of the Thirty Years war,
the principal office in the postal serv-
ice of Europe was held by a woman,
Alexandrine de Rue. From 1928 to
1916 she was in charge of the mails
OF the German empire, the Neither
lands, Burgundy and Lorraine. She
was known as a master general of the
mails. In America, Elizabeth Harvey
was the first to hold a place in the
postal department. She had charge
o the letters in Portsmouth, N. H., in
the beginning of the seventeenth cen
fury. A half century afterward Lydia
Hill was placed in charge of the post
office In Salem, Mass.

JUDGE is GOOD TO FARMER
Legal Lumlnary Stretched Point In
Law, but the Circumstances
Justified Il.

Judge David P. Dyer was holding
court not long ago in Cape Girardeau
when he was called upon TO sentence
a postmaster from a small town who
had stolen a few dollars from his of.
nee. When the prisoner was ar
raigned the judge demanded:
We'll. what have you got to say
about this case?"
The prisoner said the postmaster
ship paid only a few dollars a year.
not sufficient to meet the expenses OF
his family. His wife and child needed
food and he took a little money from
the p~ostofice, thinking he would re-
turn it when he harvested his crops.
The appeal touched the heart of
Judge Dyer and he let the postmaster
on with six months in Jail. The
prisoner vas profoundly grateful, and
the judge dismissed the case from his
mind.
A few minutes later, as the judge
was leaving the courtroom, he felt a
tug at his sleeve. 1t was the post
master-prisoner of a few moments be-
fore.
What is it now?" asked the judge.
"1f your honor please" the prisoner
replied, could you postpone my sen.
tence a little while? If l can begin
sewing it next fall that will give me
time to get in my crops and my fam
lily will have enough to live on while
l am in jail"
That's a little unusual" replied the
Judge. But / don't care. Go on
home now and come back next No
vember and I'll send you to jail."-St.
