Whistler as . Letter Writer.


 Early Mir. Whistler as letter writer became | parsonage to be reckoned with. Ills pen was very frequently dipped in gall, but 1t is Joy to read him, with his very delightful personal style. No one ever wrote quite like him Hamerton. with whom he had many passes. always to the critics great discontinue, once, in reviewing his Symphony In White." stupidly called attention to the fact that there were many other tints in the picture besides white There was, he mnin- tained. the reddish hair of the woman, for instance; her flesh color, bit or blue ribbon, and so on. Whistler re- sponded: Bon Dieu, did this wise per son expect white hair and chalked faces? And does he then, In his as founding consequence, believe that a symphony in F contains no other note, but shall be continued repetition Of E EF F? ""s Fool" And. of course. the world is familiar with Whistler's studied insolence in his reply to com- munication in the New York Tribune by Hamerton, who complained that Whistler refused to answer his letters, Whistler referred to the writer as "a MT. Hamerton." which made Hamer- ton perfectly furious and so served Whlstler's ends.-Arthur, Hoeber ill Forum

4 Horses Toe Nails.

Few persons realize that a horses hoof is really the same thing us tue toe nails of human beings or of ami mals having toes. The horn of d hoof grows just as toe nail does. The hoof grows more rapidly in unshod horses than in those wearing shoes, and 1t grows faster in horses which are well groomed and we'll fed. But on an average the horn grows about a third of an inch a month. Hind hoofs grow faster than fore hoofs. The toe of the hoof being. tho longest part, it takes longer for the horn ts grow down there than at the heel. For in stance, the toe will grow entirely down in from eleven to thirteen months, while the heel will grow down in from three to i've months. AS the new horn grows out any cracks or defects in the old gradually work down to where they can be cut off, just as with human finger nails you can watch the progress of a bruise from the root to the tip London Answers.

sixina un Barnard Shaw.

Bernard Shaw IS thus iminortalized by Charles Hawtrey, the well known English comedian: "Once on time 1 had mad desire to produce Shaw's play of You Never Can Tell l 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 writt ten and at others he considered 1t thsF greatest trash. Anyhow, he was of opinion that 1t was pretty poor play and that if l produced it-wen, must take the consequences. Some time afterward I asked Shaw if could compress the last act. He declined to allow one line to be altered or cut out. In view of certain contingencies had at last to tell him that couldn't pro- duce the play. His answer was: Thank you so much! You have taken great load of my mind' Now, what are you to do with man like that?"- Minneapolis Journal.

Pretty Absentminded.

A book about George Canning and his friends contains among it's anec- dotes two which deal with HOokha m Frere and the absentmlndedness for which he was noted. Frere married Lady Errol, and while they were en- gagged he took her into supper at a ball. While they were talking he drank up the glass of wine he had poured out for her and then took her back supperless to the ballroom. After the wedding he went straight from the church to Mr. Murray, the pub fisher. who asked him to stay to din- ner. to which he very nearly agreed. remembering only just in time that Lady Errol was waiting to start on the honeymoon"

A Corsican Vendetta,

Lecturing on "The Land of the Ven detta' at the Royal Geographical so- ciety's headquarters, the Rev. T. T. Norgate said he had discovered in. stances of vendetta being started in Corsica through pig getting into an- other mans field, and this had caused the loss of perhaps hundreds of lives and had made two families deadly enc mics for upward of 300 years. The men who carried on such vendetta would scorn to rob any one of a six. penny piece.-London Globe.

HAS MELON RECORD

Pierre, S. D., Aug. 21.-Fifty-one
melons on one square rod is the re-
cord of B. S. Prather, a prominent dry
farmer of Fort Pierre.
State Engineer Samuel H. Lea,
member for South Dakota of the ex-
ocutive committee of the Dry Farming
Congress, is arousing interest among
the farmers of this region in the in
ternational exposition of dry farm pro-
ducts which will be held at Billings,
Montana, October 1929 next, in con-
nection with the fourth dry farmers
congress. Mr.. Lea states that Mr..
Prather's dry farm garden, while sur
prising to those who do not know
what has been accomplished in the
west by dry farming methods, is not
unique in South Dakota, but is an ex-
ample of what hundreds of others are
securing in results from ground which.
a few years ago. was considered
worthless except for grazing pur-
poses. The melons referred to above
were grown without irrigation and
Mr.. Prather raised practically all 9TH
er kinds of vegetables that are usu-
ally grown in this latitude.

TRY AVOID STRIKE
"PeacefuI Bill" Mahon Arrives
On the Scene of the
Trouble.
HE CALLS A CONFERENCE
{American News Service)

Chicago, Aug. Civ. D. Mahon-
Peaceful Bilr'-international presi-
dent of the Street Car Employees I'M
ion. reached Chicago today and imme-
diately took charge of the labor side
of the controversy. in the hope of
averting the threatened strike of TO-
600 car men.
He declared that his purpose was to
promote peace and avert war and re-
fused to even discuss the possibility OF
a strike. He had not been in the city
half an hour before he made his first
move and called conference with the
leaders of the North and West Side un-
ions. Later in the day he intended to
see the South Side union chiefs and
the leaders of the other sides Of the
controversy, President John M. Roach
of the Chicago Railways company and
President T. E. Mitten of the Chicago
City Railway company. Finally he
planned consultation with Walter l..
Fisher, the citys special representa-
tive in the traction controversy.
Mr. Mahon's appearance won him
the good opinion of those who met
him. He appeared to regard the pres
ent difficulties as by no means so Sc
rious as it appeared on the surface and
the brief interviews he gave out con-
firmed his reputation for prudence
and taking thought before action.

lice commissioner supported by police

his Office without fear or favor, can
sap and destroy Tammany influence III

PIE At BREAKFAST
Make the Gastric Glands Get
Busy Early in the
Day.
DOCTORS APPLAUD IDEA

Chicago, Aug. 21.--Attention. dys-
peptics! If you seek relief and long
for the culinary propensities enjoyed
by your epicure neighbor, eat large
chunks of juicy pie for breakfast.
This cure was prescribed by DR..
Charles Mccormick before the third
annual convention of the Association
of Independent Doctors. The sugges-
tion was applauded by the delegates.
DIR. Mccormick attacked the teach
ings of the regular" medical profess
sion, scored the use of drugs, and thus
led up to the subject of that pastry
made famous by the New England
housewife.
Eat pie, eat all you want of it, and
eat it for breakfast if you would have
a good stomach" he directed.
Let the gastric glands begin their
days work with a good. big job and
you will feel the better for it, Throw
away breakfast foods. for they kill
more people in one year than does all
the alcohol that was ever manufacture
ed into whiskey.'
THE man with a crouch is a queer
specimen of humanity" said DR.. Nc
Cormick. HE continually is ill-temp-
cred, goes about with long face. ap-
parently believing the world has form
ed a conspiracy against him.
What is the result? His mental
ity becomes warped, If you please,
and by the item his crouch reaches
an acute state he may properly be
classed among the mentally unbalanc-
ed.
When he becomes ill his mental
conditions tell against him, and it is
the experience of physicians who
combine psychology with medicine
that the chronic ill-tempered man is a
most difficult patient to handle"

A TOLEDO CARNIVAL

Toledo, O., Aug. 21.-The King
Wanda Carnival. to be held here
August "a to 2S, is held under the aus
pices of the Chamber of Commerce of
this city. Preparations have been 60
ing on for the last twelve months.
The idea of the name of the carnival
King Wanda" is taken from the his
tory of the city of Toledo in Spain. In
the latter part of the seventh century
there ruled in that city a monarch
called King Wanda, who was the last
of the Visi-Gothic Kings to rule in
Spain. He it was who organized a
great expedition to fight the Moorish
hosts in Africa when they were plann-
ing an invasion of his country. 1t
was during his reign that the fortifi-
cation now called Melilla, where the
present battle is being waged, was
erected. This fort was placed there
in order to keep the Moors from at
tempting to cross the sea to Spain.

After Thirty-seven Days High
Bred Foxhound Was
Found Living.
FELL IN WELL ON HUNT
POOR ANIMAL WAS MERE SkELE.
TON WHEN RESCUED BUT HE
NOW ON THE WAY TO A FULL
RECOVERY.

Baltimore, Md, Aug 21.-Music, the
high bred foxhound of Mr. Michael
Hassett, in the Manchester distric, ur
in Carroll county, has just finished a
thirty-seven days fast at the bottom
of we'll and is still alive and eager
for another chase after Sir Reynard
About six weeks ago Mr.. Hassctt
and some friends were having a fox
hunt at night. Music and the other
dogs of Mr.. Hassett's pack were in
full cry. The chase was along the
north side of Dug Hill and the bayins
of the hounds was a delight to the
hunters. Music is the pick of the
pack, and her tones were easily dis
cernible. Suddenly they ceased alto
gether. and when the horn recalled
the dogs she was missing.
Valuable Animal.
She is a valuable animal, and a
strict search for her was instituted
and continued day after day, but no
trace of her could be found. She was
as completely lost as if she had disap-
peared from the face of the earth, and
that was precisely what she had done.
In the forest where she was lost is an
old clearing and an abandoned cabin,
which was once supplied with water
from a well forty-two feet deep, and
Music was in that we'll for thirty-seven
days without food. 1t had been cover
ed, but the covering had rotted away,
and in crossing it she went down.
Mr.. Clarence Theierset found her.
Happening in the clearing, curiosity,
led him to look into the we'll, which
was almost dry. Music made her
presence known in faint dog language
and, procuring ladder, Mr.. Theier-
set went down into the well and
brought her to the surface. She was
living skeleton. Mr. Hassett was
informed Of the find and carried her
to his home in his arms and she is
now we'll on to full restoration to
health and vigor.

Mrs. Edith Mccormick Says
Children Don't Hamper Women

of the wonderful new world that comes
to US after marriage and receive the
fulness of the Creators great gift:'
OF the happiness of motherhood Mrs.
Mccormick says:
When We awaken to the realization
that the baby in our arms is our own.
that We have the right. the privilege
the honor to be called mother, we find
that something new Is within us, a
love different from any We have exper-
fenced before-a pride. a Jealous care,
a great overwhelming JOY.
A little soul is loaned to us to love
and care for. What great confidence
God has put in our love and our wis
dom to make US such a gift.
The child today who lies in our
arms. entirely helpless and dependent,
Is going to grow and develop. We must
then bestir ourselves. Are We going to
be prepared to meet each phase of de-
velopment wisely and capably: Is the
unfolding of this spirit to be met by an
intelligent loving mind, ready to
grasp. to guide, to advise: If this is so
how wonderful is each moment of each
day.
OF the often mentioned Sacrifices of
mothers life" Mrs. Mccormick
writes:
May ask what sacrifice is? Is do
ing what love prompts us to do ever
a hardship or a deprivation? Are not
the noblest deeds of life the deeds
prompted by love: In our married life
it is love which paves each days path
with roses, which makes the thorns in
the way not less pointed but hurtless.
Has any queen a greater chance to
make her individuality felt than we,
each in her homer"
