Tolstoy and Fame.
From lie Cri de Paris.

from lie Crl de Paris.
As might be expected, Tolstoy has not
an exaggerated idea OF fame, and In this
respect Tolstoy said: What is fame?
What is 1t from beginning to end? When
I was recently i'll and the world thought
1 was about to die populations from all
parts came to express their sympathy.
Not only important towns and learned So
cieties. but many pretty and agreeable
ladies'.
lone of them" Tolstoy proceeded, very
elegant and sweet, approached me and.
addressing me as most honored and be-
loved Leo Nicholaievitch,' she paid her
compliment most gracefully Then she
concluded by craving permission to ex-
press her personal admiration for a man
whose books had given him an undying
fame The ingenious Tolstoy replied: II
thank you, my dear madame, and which
Of my books do you PREFER"
The pretty visitor turned pale and then
blushed, and the author of Resurrection
learned later that she had not read one
of his books. Some friend In need stand
ing by her side whispered, Enhance ct
Adolescence" ''Guerre ct Paix." Anna
Karenine," and the lady stammered, "En-
fance de radolescent." La paix armee."
ANDRE Cornelis.' Yes. madame" re-
piled Tolstoy, to make an end Of her tor.
ture, ANDRE Cornelis Is not bad
book" And Tolstoy's comment when re-
lating this story was: What would yen
have me think Of fame after that!

CANADA TO BUILD SHIPS.
Cruisers and Destroyers to Be Con
structed in Dominion, if Possible.


structed in Dominion, if Possible.
OTTAWA, Ont. November 26.-The
cruisers and destroyers for the new
Canadian navy will be built in Canada. if
possible. 1t is understood that the gov
eminent feels strongly that the time has
come for the establishment of g ship
building industry in the Dominion, and
the opportunity for the establishment OF
yards has arrived with the decision of the
government to place orders for cOnsid-
cradle number of important vessels.
Negotiations are going on between the
Canadian government and several ship
building firms for the establishment of
one or more modern and thoroughly
equipped shipbuilding yards in Canada,
and there is every Indication that an an
nouncement will be made within a short
time that a shipyard is to be opened.
Qualified authorities state that there is
no reason why cruisers and destroyers
cannot be built in Canada up to the Brit
ish admiralty standard. The cost Of the
first vessels might be slightly greater
than it would be if the orders were
placed with British yards, but the gov
eminent feels that the eventual benefit to
the country which would result from the
establishment of the shipbuilding industry
in Canada on a large scale is ample justi-
fication for an increased cost of the first
naval vessels.

How Norwich Boys Celebrate the
Day of Gratitude.

From the Boston POSt-
While the people throughout the coun-
try are having their annual family re-
unions and enjoying sumptuous turkey
dinners Thanksgiving day, in the city of
Norwich, Conn, the final preparations are
being made for one of the oldest celebra-
tions in the country, that Of barrel burn
ing, custom peculiar to the city and one
which dates back a century and q half.
Every town of early settlement. and Nor
w;ch celebrates it's 2JOth anniversary OF
founding next year, has some old colonial
day custom, of which its citizens are just
ly proud, and take deep interest in
making it an important event Of the years
chronology. This barrel burning in Nor
witch is the one annual celebration con-
Quoted by the boys, and for that reason
Thanksgiving to the residents of that city
has an additional significance. The fires
are not lighted until dark, and as the re-
suit Of this glorious twilight spectacle
every section of the city is ablaze with
huge fires from stacks of empty barrels.
which combustion is Witnessed by i'm
mense crowds from far and near.
Ihe celebration this year will be as
much of a success as ever, although the
efforts of the boys have been no more
fruitful than ever. Flour barrels are sell
ing at q premium and hard times cause
wood into kindlings. Despite this the
boys have been alert, and they allow moth
ing to interfere with the custom which
their forefathers started SO long ago.
The morning of Thanksgiving sees the
entire gang gathered i'm the field on a hill
where they have decided to have their
fire. The first duty, unless 1t has been
performed. is TO get the poles upon
which to string the barrels. and. as ii is
calculated to get from eight to twelve
on a pole, good-sized trees are needed.
Part OF the gang as delegated to get the
poles, while the others bring the barrels
from the StorehOuSe. The poles are
planted deep in the ground and the
bravest and slimmest in the crowd climbs
to the top where he stands a cross
stick drawing the barrels up to him by
a rope and dropping them over his head
and the pole until the column is complete.
This is continued until all the barrels are
on poles The boys remain on the burning
grounds all day keeping up hot fire
with boxes and kegs.
AS twilight approaches the bottom bar
rel is filled with straw and literally sprin-
killed. with kerosene. The holocaust is then
ready as soon as it becomes dark. When
the match is applied the flames roar and
tear up through these wooden columns
and in a few minutes the irregular CHM
ney is a glazing mass of fire, the shaft
of flame reaching a hundred feet in heiEht
and can be plainly seen for miles. The
combustible qualities of these familiar re-
ceptacles are astonishing. and 1t requires
but about twenty minutes for a stack to
be consumed.

ALCOHOL AS ENGINE FUEL.
Department of Agriculture Expert.
ments With Denatured Product.

The Department of Agriculture has
been experimenting for some time on the
manufacture of denatured alcohol for
engine fuel. 1t has worked with all
sorts of fruits, both sweet and Irish
potatoes and sugar beets and turnips. 1t
has been found that there is a consider
able amount of alcohol in the watermelon.
but the most promising crop so far tried
is the sweet potato.
1t is said that with the current value
of the sweet potato in the southern states
it is possible to make denatured alcohol
for 20 cents gallon. This is a good
deal less than denatured alcohol sells for
on the market, and the outlook is said
to be good for all the south Atlantic
and gulf states. 1t is explained. how
ever, that there has been a greater de-
mand for alcohol since the free alcohol
bill passed and the result is that the
price has gone up instead of down.
1t is probable that by cooperative dis
tilling the farmers of the southern states
can make the sweet potato crop pay
more than it has ever done before

Originality of Swiss Architecture.

From the Dellneator.
In arriving at the chalet as a solution
of their architectural problem, the Swiss
have produced a strongly individual ar
chitecture and have not been Influenced
in any way by the architecture of other
countries. No other people have pro-
duced in the past anything even resem-
bling the Swiss chalet. No architecture
in any other country, except possibly
Spain seems to be SO much part OF
the environment.
1t Is hard to picture Switzerland to
ourselves without thinking of this form
of house as part of the natural sur
roundings. Besides being beautiful, the
homes OF the Swiss are eminently prac-
teal. In fact. the reasons for the in
dividuality that they have attained
upon close study are found to be that
they have first solved the needful con-
siderations made necessary by the I'M
influence shown in the houses of the
SWISS and one that reveals the traits
of the people, is the fearless honesty
in showing the construction of their
buildings and making this construc-
ton beautiful. There is no mask about
a Swiss house, no false plastering-over
of honest construction. They are
frankly wooden houses, true applica-
ton OF the material nearest at hand.
true type for a forest country. In
this respect the architecture of the Swiss
is entirely opposed to the school of
which the French are perhaps the great
est opponents.
The French are artistic, carrying ar
tificiality to it's highest development.
But in the Swiss national architecture
and the Swiss chalet is the true type Of
the Swiss national archtecture-we reach
the highest form of natural architectural
expression. 1t is through this sheer
force of honesty and frankness in con-
struction that the Swiss have arrived
at almost perfect national style. through
which we can clearly see, as the homes
OF the people invariably reveal, the true
character of the nation. We feel this
honesty and lack of superfiuity immedi-
ately upon contact with the Swiss peo-
pie. This character is also revealed in
the cities and in the laws. Switzerland 10

Special to Times Republican.
Denison, Aug. 24.-1n the Harding
disbarment proceedings. Judge Wright
sustained the contention of the defen-

charges in five of the ten counts
against him. The court criticized
Hardings conduct in some cases as
not being that of a reputable lawyer.
but held that the showing, made by the
prosecution, was insufficient to disbar
the defendant from practice. The
court held that in the matter of the
settlement Of the Johnson divorce
case at West Side, insufficient EVIL
dence had been introduced to show that
Harding was guilty of extorting an
enormous fee from a man not informed
as to his rights.
The ruling is a substantial victory
for Harding. but if the court finds him
guilty on any number Of the remaining
points, his disbarment may be ordered.
