The Artists Compensation.

Save in a few business concerns,
great concerns, Harrod's, the army
and navy stores and the like, what
a strange welter is in our whole sys-
tenn of payment for work-more espe-
cially in the higher branches of work!
Art and literary work are terrible ex-
.amples of this confusion and want of
science. writes a pessimist in the Lon
don Saturday Review. The payments
to many of the best workers in those
barren fields are so bad that a man
is quite sanguine if he sees not at the
end of his career the madhouse or the
pauper's grave.
If he paint without genius, paint
er may, by attracting an ignorant pub
lie. make himself secure. If he write
without individuality or real force, the
writer may likewise make himself Sc
cure by driving hard bargains with
those who buy and sell his wares.
But for the most part good work in
these branches is the work of sensi-
tive men, who are still children in
money matters and who shrink from
bargaining. Politics and public life
and business makes a mSah better
game than art or letters.

Call MistLetoe a Pest

The species of mistletoe which has
played so important part in the
worlds literature and romance is
found only in Europe, where it grows
upon the apple, hawthorn, sycamore,
poplar, locust and fir trees. 1t is &C.
caslonally (but very rarely found up
on oaks. The oak, as is well known,
was the sacred tree of the Druids;
and when the mistletoe was found
growing upon an oak this strange
priesthood believed that tree to be es-
pecially designated by the gods for re-
ligious uses. Elaborate religious cere-
monials were celebrated under such
trees, ending with the sacrifice of two
white oxen, after which the mistletoe
was cut down. The ancient Germans
also held the parasitic plant in super
stitious generation. and the Celts re-
garded it as possessed of magical
properties.
Probably the only way of getting
rid of the mistletoe, in regions in
which it is so abundant as to
be a real menace to the forests, is

the reign of George Ill, when the ma
tional debt was so enormously in
creased by the American war that
the people demanded reform, espe-
cially in the abuses of the civil list,
and in the practise of comforting life
pensions on royal favorites. In 1882
parliament passed civil list act abol-
ishing many useless offices, reducing
the pension list and providing for
closer supervision of the royal ex-
penditure.
At the beginning of Queen Victo-
rias reign the annual grants for the
crown were fixed and sums voted as
follows: Privy purse, 100000; sala-
ries of household. $656,300; expenses
of household. SS62.500; royal bounty,
100000; contingent. $4,000; total,
$1,925,o00. In addition the queen
might grant life pensions not to ex-
coed $4,000 a year in any case, to
persons whom she might consider
worthy, provided that all pensions
granted should be reported to par
lament by the twenty-ninth of July
each year.
On the accession of King Edward
VII. Q901) it became necessary to
readjust the civil list and a commit
tee was appointed to investigate and
report on the subject. The commit
tee reported bill which was passed
increasing the annual appropriation
for the civil list from $1,925,0 900 to
S2,350000. distributed as follows:
Their majesties' privy purse, $780,
900; second-class salaries of royal
household, $629,0O0; third class ex-
penses of royal household, $685., 900;
repair and decoration of royal pal
aces, 100000; royal bounty and aims,
100000; contingent, $4,000. In addi-
ton parliament granted an annual al
lowance of 100000 to the prince of
Wales, $4,000 to his wife and $40, 900
each to the kings three daughters
and other special grants. By the
death of King Edward Queen Alexan-
dra comes into life pension of $780,
900 year and all of the surviving
children of Queen Victoria continue
to draw life pensions.
1t is not likely there will be any
material reduction in the civil list
granted George v. from that of King
Edward, which totaled $2,35O.OOO a
year. Compared with this the presi-
dents salary of $4,000 a year with
$4,000 for travelling expenses does
not seem excessive.

CURIOUS FUNERAL

The Viscomtesse de Vaugelet, who
recently died in Frances at the age of
seventy-seven, left the bulk of her,
fortune, estimated at 100000, various
minor legacies being deducted, to the
town Of RiOm on certain curious con-
ditions, which were all, or nearly all,
complied with. She insisted on an en-
tirely white" funeral, with white trap
pings, white flowers and white horses.
No white flowers were discoverable in
the country, but in other respects her
wishes were obeyed. The late WIS.,
comtesse seems to have been particu-
larly musical, for she bequeathed 5000
to the local band on condition it play
ed Chopin's Funeral March" contin-
uously during the obseQuies all the
way from the house to the church, and
from the church to the graveyard,
distance Of 16 miles. The result was
that the band played Chopin's Flu
neral March" 81 times, and then re-
tired almost inanimate to a village
inn, where portion of the 5000 was
consumed in drinks.

THE KINGS SALARY
George v. Gets $2,350,000 for
Annual Expenses.
In Addition His Queen, the Princes
and Princesses of Royal Family
Are Literally Supplied With
Pin Money.

London.-The king of England and
the president of the United States are
alike in one respectively are both
dependent on their respective peoples
for their salary and allowances, the
purse strings being held by parlia-
ment in one case and by congress in
the other. The methods of doing
things differ in the two countries, but
they amount to the same in the end,
and the people foot the bills. But
kings cost much more than presi-
dents. Some people thought it a
"big raise" when the presidents sal
airy was increased from $4,000 to
$4,000 year, with $4,000 a year
for travelling expenses, but the Brit
ish king and royal family cost a good
many times as much.
At the beginning of every reign an
annual sum is settled on the king by
parliament and in addition allow
ances are made for each member of
his family and for all the expenses
pertaining to the royal household and
to maintaining the honor and dignity
of the crown. Under the British sys-
tenn these expenditures constitute
"the civil list" and the account is
kept separate from the ordinary ex-
penses of the government. Formerly
certain sources of revenue, called
hereditary revenues" were settled
on the crown, out of which not only
the royal expenditures proper, but
the expenses of the civil service, ev-
erything except the army and navy,
were to be paid. Under this system
the king could use the revenues as
he liked and if he saved anything it
went to swell his private purse,
while If he ran in debt or created a
deficit parliament paid it. The accu-
mulated debt at the end of a reign
sometimes amounted to many millions
of dollars.
The present system of making
what might be called specific appro-
priations for the crown dates from

When Fate

ooh. it's a sweet little room," said
Miss Stiles ironically.
Her gaze roamed pensively over the
little hall room she dwelt in, from the
plump divan cushions to the book
shelf above her cretonne-concealed
washstand. A trunk bumped on the
landing outside her door and then pro.
ceeded with a series Of smaller bumps
I'D the stairs and landed with a final
crash overhead.
Some one new" Faint hope flick
cred up, to die instantly. "But of
course no one worth while would come
here to live" she mumbled scornfully
Bitter distaste of her surroundings, of
her daily grind, of her colorless days
arose within her and logged her mo-
mentarily out of the rut of logged
cheerfulness and acceptance of en-
vironment that she had forced herself
into.
Il hate 'em,r humping her head
into the pillows viciously. II hate
everybody" Rising, she faced herself
accusingly in the wavy-surfaced mir
ror. II hate myself, too. I'm even be-
ginning to crook my little fingers like
them-they'll be calling me genteel
next Ugh, I'd rather be bad-down-
right horrid-than genteel, with a cot
ton wool brain and q sawdust heart. .
A soft wind stirred the ruffied cur
tain and whisked her hair, and, turn
ing, she thrust her head out into the
sunshine.
Pooh, Sally girl, but you've got the
blues" she informed herself. smiling
the crisp air eagerly.
With the stirring Of spring sap
comes an eagerness in the blood may
hap. but it's the fall for the reckless
ness and zest of adventure, with its
insistent warning whisper of depart
ing days, its urge to make haste, that
opens ones eyes to fleeting youth, its
tanning breath charged with the last
faint scents of summer sweetness.
And it moved unwontedly in Sarah
Styles's heart as she shifted the keen
air and softened the repression of her
lips.

Ocean Graveyard Gone.

Halifax, N. S.-The passing as an
ocean graveyard" of Sable island,
scene of innumerable shipwrecks, is
brought to mind by the breaking up
for junk of the last vessel wrecked
there. The steamer Skidby, a 1000
ton freighter, met it's fate on January
6, 1904. Since that time no vessel
has been wrecked on the treacherous
rib of sand forming the island coast,
which previously had taken toll of
more than $50 vessels and many more
than that number of lives. Wireless
telegraphy, more numerous and i'm
provised lighthouses and corrected
charts have robbed this quondam

DOG is A MAIL CARRIER

Uncle Sam has mail carrier which
covers definite route twice every
week day, rain or shine, in the noun
celves no pay and makes no complaint
because she does not receive official
recognition The carrier is a dog be-
longing to j. H. Wagner, county en-
ployee, who lives two miles up Wa
terman canon. She is half collie and
the other half of doubtful origin. Her
master has named her Topsy.
Wagner raised the animal from a
puppy. AS he was too busy to go for
his mail, he conceived the idea of
teaching the dog to do this duty for
him. He had blanket, with pockets
on each side, made for her.
For several years she has carried
his mail. In the morning the blanket
is buckled on her. Without waiting
for a caress or a word, she starts off.
She covers the round trip of four miles
in few minutes. She performs a
similar duty in the afternoon.
On one side Of her blanket is print
ed ~. S. Mail. Please Don't Bother
Me-" The request is needless, for any
person who attempted to modest her
would probably be taught lesson.
She seems to feel the Importance of
her mission. She never gives another
dog look as she speeds along.
The postmaster has grown so &C.
customed to having the animal come
at an appointed hour that he worries
if her master has been few minutes
late in starting her. She waits patient
ly while the mail Is put on her back and
then dashes away. 1t would be USE
less for the official to attempt to de-
tain her.

just told few friends of my remark
able experience and escape, but it has
not reached the public until now,
nearly half century after.
'The story comes to the surface
through magazine article published
in Oklahoma, which it seems is gath
cred from some Indians who have
heard of the massacre. This maya
zine story, telling of the death of
these confederates, says:
Down on the sandbar in the
Usage country in a space of some
four rods square, were found the al
most nude bodies of the dead con-
federates. Their heads, besides be-
ing scalped, had been, according to
the Usage custom, severed from their
bodies. Afterward their heads were
all collected, some being at con-
siderable distance from their remains,
and, being placed with their bodies,
they were all buried
Leading from these dead bodies
were the foottracks of two men walk
ing side by side and close together,
as if one might have been supporting
the other. 1t is probable that these
two men were shot while in the wa
ter attempting to cross a stream near
by and it is also probable that they
made good their escape"
''You see, this magazine writer
comes pretty near guessing correctly
when he says that it is possible that
two of this fatal company made their
escape. Myself and John Lafferty
were the lucky ones, but Lafferty
was killed before the war closed"

FORTH" she murmured, land perhaps
adventure will hit you on the shout
ers, you poor, lonesome thing, and in
troduce you to an affinity. Any way,
the fall air is glorious"
From the woods came the ting
ling scent of autumn leaves and
sun-warmed MOSES and cool-shaded
depths. A woodpecker accumulated
the silence in sharply tapped meas
ures and a squirrel darted across the
sun-f1ecked road.
Miss Stiles kicked her heels against
the fence she was perched on and in
uncomfortable abandon threw back
her head, pursed her lips and poured
forth lifting, whistling refrain of her
long ago school days.
Family floating from the distance
another whistle chimed in, and she
paused, the edges of her soul shell
drawing together instinctively, but a
smile fingered on her lips. Plaintive-
ly rising and falling, the notes came
nearer. Softly the girl crept to the
fringe Of bushes overhanging the road
and watched the whistler swinging
along, his head tilted back. his hands
buried in his pockets.
II WONDER" she whispered nervous
ly, IF l dare-um. He looks-er-
intelligent-and nice. i believe will"
Her sweet, shrill whistle joined his;
breathlessly she peered out, when
suddenly the earth crumbled beneath
her feet and laughing, hair-blown.
clutching the willowy saplings in her
path, she descended into the very
arms of the approaching whistler.
While she put straight her hat and
tucked in stray hairpins he picked up
the scattered crimson leaf clusters
and presented them to her.

SWALLOWS INK, TURNS BLUE

After swallowing indelible ink, Ar

Floyd of Austin, Tex, has turned blue.
His case is the first of it's kind to

shocked to find his pupils, boys and
girls, smoking cigarettes secretly near

when the lessons came to an end he

them good lesson, insisted upon their
smoking in his presence. Many of

Government Experts Find the Christ
mas Decoration Is Death to
the Trees.

Persons familiar with the mistletoe
only as a sentimental adjunct of
Christmas decoration will be sur
prised to learn that in many parts of
the country it is an injurious pest of
sufficient magnitude to lead advocates
of forest conservation to consider
ways and means of suppressing it.
Under the direction of the depart
ment of agriculture, William L. Bray,
forest pathologist, has made a care
ful investigation of the havoc wrought
by this particular parasite, which
grows upon many species of broad
leayed trees throughout the southern
states. Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,
California, Oregon and Washington.
He says that there are localities in
which mistletoe becomes so abundant
upon the trees, and SO harmful to
them, as to make the control of it or
it's determination serious practical

Mere Child Blows a Safe.

Denver, Col.-Postof1c inspectors
have been ordered from this city to
Palmerlee, N. M, to take charge of
one of the youngest safe-crackers in
criminal history.
The prisoner, who has confessed to
the robbery of the Palmerlee postof-
fee, is twelve-year-old Mexican. He
broke open the safe like an expert
enced ''yeggman," took what money it
contained, but left stamps and other
government papers.
According to the boys story he was
carefully trained for the robbery by a
gang of Mexicans.
