ON LYING

<,T YING like a gentleman" has
long been considered both an
~ art and an accomplishment.
There are times when a man must be
nrofcient in them if he would gal
lantly spare humiliation to the weaker
sex or avert an endless chain OF
trouble for himself. particularly in
domestic way. We know this postulate
is not orthodox, but it has survived
the test Of hard experience.
The other day young wife in New
York had her husband hailed before the
court for non-support, but her pr1n-
cipal grievance was that he would
come home infrequently and very late
at night and never take the trouble to
invent an excuse. She could forgive the
minor offense OF neglect, but it was
insufferable that he should never take
the trouble to salve her with some
plausible lie about his whereabouts.
This little insight into the feminine
mind shows how much importance it
attaches TO hubby's white lies. Since
Adam told Eve that he had been
around the corner sitting up with a
sick friend her descendants have
looked upon such subterfuges as one of
their solaces by right, and any man
who for the mere sake Of conscience
or good faith assumes to break up this
ancient and honorable custom will only
have his trouble for his pains. She
will not thank him for it.

THE QUARREL

She had begged and beseeched me to change
my position,
To view the affairs in the same light that
she
Had done. but vowed under no such con-
dition
Could l be inveigled with her to agree.
Then she argued the question at issue with
fervor,
And emphasized strongly her "darlings"
and ''dears"
But, seeing that none of these tactics would
serve her' -..
She used then woman's prerogatiye-
tears.
She had scolded me sharply, with sarcasm
cut me.
She's flayed me with irony's torturing
And vowed if her wish was respected they'd
shut
In some close asylum for obstinate fools!
But seeing that none of these things seemed
to move me,
And keenIy discerning with only deaf ears
I'd listed her outburst, she sought to re-
prove me
BY sobbing her heart out in copious tears.
And then-twhat would you do? I ask it
sincerelyD-
I pardoned her temper, and owned, by the
way,
That I'd been a brute. but that loving her
dearly
could not get mad at thing she might
For it's easy to turn from plea that's
appealing,
And It's easy to list an arraignment that
sears;
But SHOW me man who's so cold and un-
He'll not yield point to woman in
tears!

There was little poetry in their work
and less sincerity, and the great rep
utation they once enjoyed does not
much impress or influence the picture
buyers of today. Leighton's graceful
illustrations of Greek mythology, Ma

cidents, Millais' romantic embodiments
of the tender passion and the actuai-
ties reproduced in the crowded can

mass also of contemporary origin

the exhibition in a sum exceeding

fine Rousseau will sell for from $4,000
to $4,000, but when Rousseau, after
years of grinding struggle, received a
commission from the French govern

FATHER OF CONSERVA-
TION

TN AN interesting discussion before
the Knife and Fork club in Kan
Il sas City the other night the title
to father of the conservation move
ment was accorded by two unusually
we'll informed men, Clifford Pinchot and
Speaker Joe Cannon, to former Presi-
dent Roosevelt and ]. w. Powell, re-
spectively 1t was Mr.. Pinchot, of
course, who championed the cause Of
Colonel Roosevelt. Mr.. Cannon does
not think that the ex-president is the
father of anything but a lot of trouble
for his kind and for the country.
AS the nominations are not yet
closed, The Herald ventures the name OF
the late Grover Cleveland as the real
father of the movement to save the
landed wealth of the United States
from the NAV of private moneyed in
terests. In the Democratic national
platform of 1892 which was virtually
prepared by Mr.. Cleveland and upon
which he was elected, appeared the
first recorded mention of the subject
now known under the name of conser-
walton.
Section of that document denounced
the outrageous profiigacy of previous
government authorities in making land
grants to the transcontinental rail-
roads and declared that as much as
5000 900 acres Of the forest reserves be-
longing to the country had been stolen
by the railroads in addition to those
to which they had gained title, largely
by means that are now pretty we'll un-
derstood by the general public.
The platform committed the Demo-
cratic party to the task of putting an
end to the stealings and of recovering
the plunder. Some of it has been re-
linuuished since then, notably by the
Hartman lines, which thereby con-
fessed it's thefts, but a majority still
remains in the possession of the lines
and probably never will be given up 10
its rightful owner, the American people.
It is true that this plank in the
Democratic platform attracted no great
attention in 1892, because the vast inn
portance of the subject was then lit
tie appreciated; but it is nevertheless
the first declaration for conservation,
and it seems to us to establish with a
clear title the right of Grover Cleve-
land to be known as the father of the
conservation movement.

The writer once asked of we'll
known lady of the Spanish aristocracy'
who was seated in the box of the presi-
dent of a corrida in Madrid, why do
you wear a mantilla?" and the fair
duchess replied: because we all wear
a mantilla at a bull fight or at any
truly Spanish function. 1t is the proper
thing to do, and we do It,"
A little later. as l strolled among a
group of aficionados, Ventured TO ask
a woman of the people, over whose
head and shoulders was also thrown
mantilla, why all Spanish women, to
whatever class they belonged, wore TINS
national headgear, if it may be called
thus.
This woman was sitting in the open

straw hat would have protected her
better from the burning rays OF the

At an important sale of pictures
which took place in London the other
day Sir John r. Millais' landscape en-
titled Chill October" representing a
somber, swamplike stretch under a
leaden sky, brought $25,200, at which
price IL was secured by a distinguished
firm of dealers. It was sold previously
for $16,275, the amount the artist re-
ceived for 1t in 1871, the year of its
production, and again in 1876 for
$15,750 so that the figure at which 1t
has Just changed hands once more
shows very considerable advance
over the former records. On the other
hand, the same artists "Pephtha," for
which someone gave Sl9,95O IN 1873,
sold upon the occasion in question for
$4,000. There were some other similarly
striking variations. Thus Constable's
''Glebe Farm, Dedham,' for which a
purchaser in 1876 gave $194O, cost the
man who bought il the other day $1O,-
235, and two paintings attributed to
Turner, for which $17,S50 and $13,125
was at one time paid, were sold for
$3.50 and $685. respectively.
This indicates substantial reaction
from the excessive esteem in which Tur-
ners were held formerly by English
connoisseurs, largely as the result of
John Ruskin's eloquently eulogistic
criticism. but the truth is that the ups
and downs of the picture market can
neither be foreseen nor conVincingly
explained. 1t is possible to understand
the decline which has occurred in the
appreciation of some of the most pop
ular and prominent artists of the mid
Victorian period. These men were

APOLOGIES DUE

X UR Republican morning contempo-
rary has insisted with somewhat
" weary reiteration that Meyer Liss-
ner is the Good Government boss of
the city of Los Angeles and, as such,
controls the actions of the city gov
ernment, including the city council and
his honor the mayor. 1t also informed
its readers some time ago that
Mr.. Lissner had entered into
conspiracy with the labor organi-
cations of the city to assist their
members in various unlawful acts con-
nected with the present strike in the
city, which it credited the labor men
with attempting, or intending to at
tempt.
A few days ago the city council
unanimously passed an ordinance regu-
lating picketing in the city, so that
it could not be indulged in in violation
of the rights of any party concerned.
As 1t happened, the passage of this or
dinance was much advocated by our
Republican contemporary although it
is probably safe to say that it was not
but because the city council and the
mayor felt that it was right and just
that the ordinance should be passed.
However, the fact that it was passed
seems to indicate one Of two things
either that Mr.. Lissner is not the Good
Government boss who controls the ac-
tions of the city government, or that
he has not entered into any conspir-
acy to encourage law breaking on the
part of the strikers. In either event
our contemporary was in error about
what it said about Mr.. Lissner and
the city government, an error which in
volved an injustice, as has been COM
pletely demonstrated.
To an unprejudiced observer it looks
like apologies of some kind are in or
der either to Mr.. Lissner or the city
council, or both.
We are waiting for the apologies.
