Here and There

An artist just returned from Europe with antiques galore for the furnishing of her studio says that the purchaser here knows nothing of the real joy of buying, for at the majority of our shops prices are put down on tags, and but seldom will less be taken than the sum there stated. Aboard it is very different. One enters the rooms where old treasure abounds in the shape of rickety chairs, moth-eaten tapestry and odd pices of silver, always from palace, and much from churches. in the way of embroidery, panels, etc.. and like hawk the owner Is upon you, with a price at his tognue's end for each This price is always out rageously high because of the inevitable beating down" to follow. He expects to be offered half of the sum he mentions, and if less Is named the bargaining game Is soon in full swing. One collector, who spoke French but indifferently. took his valet around with him to do the buying. and declared that the fun of these events

 The queer part of the affair was that not 24 hours before I had heard the self same sentiment uttered by woman of the broadest culture and refinement, and of course being a perfectly good bromide I repeated:
 ''The Colonels Lady and Judy O'Grady"-
 And I reflected that the color of the skin had nothing to do with it, and un- derneath that black, shiny old exterior there was a philosophy as potent as that that lay hidden in the heart among the laces and satins which my lady wore.

 She looked as If she expected sympa- thy from me, but she got precious little, I can tell you

Recall Emmy Louis" Childish longings for an intimate friend" and how all through Mrs. Martins delicious stories runs the feminine longing, even in the third reader class, to have a woman friend like ''her mother had"
 The whole idea is expressed in that lovely little poem of Theodosia Garrison's "A Thanksgiving, which tells more beautifully than the ordinary pen can picture it, the finer feelings of the wom- an heart reaching out for love and sym pathy from her kind.
 Recall two little verses from it and reflect upon my suggestion: callous woman feels the need of sis ter hand?"

COLONEL IS MOBBED.
1t Takes Ten Policemen to Get Him
Through the Crowd.

New York, Oct. 21.-Theodore Roose-
welt, in speeches in Manhattan and
Brooklyn last night, accused John A.
Dix, Democratic candidate for gov
ernor, of being one of the directors IN
a company which aided in forming "a
complete scheme to accomplish the
sitting of commerce''-a trust against
which he quoted the structures of a
judge, now a justice of the United
States supreme court-and contrasted
his business record with the public
record of Henry L. Stimson, the Re
publican candidate for governor.
From the same platform, Bourke
Cochran, formerly a Democratic orator.
announced that he will this fall vote
the Republican ticket.
On his way to BROOKLYN Colonel
Roosevelt stopped for a few minutes to
speak at the LenOx assembly rooms in
the Ghetto and his appearance there
caused riot. Fully 25, 900 persons had
gathered in the narrow streets AMI
through these the police had literally

him and it was necessary for 10 stall

KISSES AND CHEERS.
Shorter and Uglier Word Is Applied to
the Colonel.

Ithaca. y. Y, Oct. 21.-Twice in a
speech here Professor E. H. Woodruff,
of Cornell university, called Theodore
Roosevelt a liar, once an "unmitigated
liar" His attack, made at political
rally, over which he presided, threw
the house into an uprOar. There were
cat calls, Kisses. cheers and clapping,
with a steady shout behind them all of
Parker, Parker"
Judge Alton B. Parker then begged
the audience to allow Professor Wood
ruff to be heard. The noisy part of
the house complied. and the rest of
the evening went more quietly
Professor Woodruff began by reop-
ening the BeIlamy Storer episode
which Colonel Roosevelt only recently
declared was closed. He charged that
when the colonel denied sending Bel
lamy Storer to the Vatican, he was IAN
unmitigated liar" and there were let
ters in his possession, he said, to bear
him out.
The uproar had barely subsidized
when the professor took up his cudgels
again. Roosevelt was twice a liar, he
said, when he denied that the late
E. H. Hartman had subscribed to a
corruption fund to be used for RoOse-
velt's election to the presidency. He
closed with a quotation from the Ital-
ian historian of Rome, FerrerO, trans
ferred from ClOdius, to whom it was
originally applied by the writer, to
Roosevelt. The speaker was careful
to specify that he meant to imply no
comparison between the private life
of Clodius and Roosevelt. The quo
tation follows:
