The Praises of 1ahatonka Sung By
the Governor.

Jefferson City, July Io.--Governor
Hadley returned from Hahatonka this
evening with plans formulated for the
purchase by the state Of 5000 acres,
including Hahatonka. and converting
the tract iuto state park. The gov
ernor says the people Of Missouri
have no idea Of the grandeur OF the
natural scenery Of Fahatonka and
the surrounding country.
".There is a natural bridge .herc

that rivals Mammoth Cave, gushing
springs that are unsurpassed any
where in attractive beauty and many
works of nature that outrital the sccn-
cry of the Rocky Mountains. said
the governor as he reviewed the Won
ders of place too little known.
More Attractive than Yellowstone.
"In many particulars, he con-
tinued, "Hahatonk, and the sur
rounding country would make more

FULL OF HUMAN INTEREST.
Landscapes Of The Dutch Painters Of
4: the Seventeenth Century.

Landscapes Of the Dutch Painters Of
w the Seventeenth Century.
The Dutch painters Of the seven
teenth century were as little concerned
with poetic feeling as with idealism.
They used their eyes and painted what
they saw, but neither their imagina-
tons nor their feelings were touched.
While most modern painters interpret
how the scene has affected themselves,
the Dutch looked at It as something
entirely outside themselves. |% :.
E Otherwise the Dutch landscapes pre-
sent us pictures Of pleasant work
aday world or Of the quiet evenings
that follow after the labors of the day
never a hint Of disturbance, though
3war and rumors Of war were constant:
instead, the perpetual suggestion of
prosperous peace and thrifty comfort,
for they abound with the evidences Of
busy humanity. Not only Is nature
brought into touch with human life BY
the little figures, no charmingly life
like, which animate the scene, but
everywhere are the results OF mans
handiwork seen In little things as well
as big in the trinity kept fruit trees
Of laborer's garden plot no less than
In the handsome facade Of a rich
5burghers town house. There Ii no
country III the world where the inlu-
!ence Of man is SO infinitely imprinted
upon every foot Of ground, and as
these artists We're eager to represent
the things they saw no landscapes are

He was a little '""'Oe''
man and plump, and at first glance his
face appeared boyish and round and
quite guiltless of hair or of any hope
of it.
But as he came into the electric
light the hardness of his features was
apparent He was no boy. A strange
idea that he had never been assailed
some people. His face was puffy and
pallid, and faint blue shadows limited
of closest shaving. and the line from
the wing of the nostrils to the nerve
less corners of his thin. hard mouth
had been deeply bitten by the acid of
unrest.
For the remainder he wore pale rose
pajamas under a silk and silver kimo-
no, an obi pierced with a jeweled
scarfpin, and he was smoking a ciga-
rette as thin as straw.
"Well!" said his young wife in as
tonished displeasure.
"Send her out a moment" he said,
with a nod of his head toward the
maid. His voice was agreeable and
full-a trif1e precise and overcultivat-
ed perhaps.
When the maid retired Alike sat up
on the lounge, drawing her skirts down
over her small stockinged feet
"What on earth is the matter?" she
demanded.

'Yes," said the young girl, laying
her gloved hand on Rosamund's very
lightly. ''I've often thought" she add
ed naively, ''that could like you, Mrs.
Fame. If You would only give me a
chance"
"I1l try. you blessed innocent You've

THAT will be delightful" said Eileen,
with a demure smile, and Rosamund
laughed, too, with full hearted laughter,

feet shoulders In the noontide of her
