NOTED EDUCATOR IS
 CALLED BY DEATH
(From Sundays Dally.)

NtrOm sunday Dally.)
 Mrs. W. W. Ross of this city has
 received the sad news of the death
 of her father. Captain J. T. Gaines
 of Louisville. Ky, which occurred
 the early part of the week, and is
 the recipient of tender expressions
 of sympathy over her irreparable
 loss. His death was not unexpected
 and followed after several months of serious illness.
 Captain Gaines was one of Louis

 Kentucky as an educator. He was born near Frankfort. in that state, and was educated at the Kentucky Military Institute. Before his eduea tion was completed he left school to enter the Confederate army, serv- ing with the famous "Orphan Bri- gade," and participating in thirteen battles during the war, winning the rank of captain for his bravery. Two brothers, Leonidas and Julius Gaines, were with him in the war, while his father, Keeling Carlton Gaines, served as chaplain of the brigade. One of Captain Gaines comrades was Judge Emory Speer, at present on the Federal bench in Georgia, and the friendship formed was maintain ed to the end with the old ties of affection.
 After the war Captain Gaines took up the vocation of teaching, and was so highly regarded that he was se- lected as the principal of the pub lie schools of Lexington. Later he was called to Louisville and for over thirty years had been identified in | a leading capacity with educational institutions of that city. He center ed his ability to the Commercial | Hign school, placing it in a position of distinction among the foremost schools of it's kind in the nation. Dur ing his life he was identified with the Presbyterian church, and his upright principles and unblemished character him as Christian man in the truest sense of the word
 Besides his wife, ne is survived by !. the following children: John Russell | Gaines, county surveyor of Jefferson Thomas Carlton Gaines, cashier of the Bank of Middleton, Ky; Mrs. William W. Ross of Prescott, Arizona; Mrs. Rob ert Junius Hunter of Canton, \. C.; i Mrs. Arthur Stork and Miss Miriam Gaines of Louisville. He is also sur vived by two brothers, Elbridge and l Keeling Gaines of Frankfort, Ky.

The Holbrook news., 1911-02-24

Well, don't you believe it, for a mo ment. A friendlier. more genial sou never lived than this same Justice Aspinall. He simply has the courage to state his convictions. that's all. And the simple little fact that he isn't married yet proves that some day his mind will be changed for him. That's safe betting
 During the past week Justice As pinan presided in New York in the case of William J. Mather against his wife. The quarrel between MT and Mrs. Mather was over the custody of their children, and in handing down decision the justice remarked:
 We are always hearing of the mother and her troubles. but of the father-nothing, except when he crosses the hill to the poor house. Poor old father, feel sorry for him at times. am glad to be able to de eide in the fathers favor once in a while.
 All things being equal, I always give woman the benefit of any al. lowances. Things are hard enough AOA WOACH, NdH Icll yOu- put CeiA- not help little natural rejoicing now and then, when a man has a perfectly clear case and justice demands that he gets the decision.
 You see, mother may have all the hard knocks. but she gets all the eulogy. too. Did you ever go to the theater and see a play written around poor. dear, long-suffering father? Did you ever hear one of these heart. breaking songs sung about the dear old man? Not a bit of it. Mother gets it all
 When they want to compose song about father they write: Father, dear father, come home with me now, or Over the hills to the poor house. That is the sort of deal they give father"
 You don't believe in lover" he was asked.
 Not l." declared Judge Aspinall stoutly Love is nothing but mat ter of pink lampshades and caramels and ice cream sodas, anyway. Not the sort of a basis two sensible peo pie want to build their lives on. If a man and woman wish to get mar ried they should go about it in a com mon sense way. Choose the man or woman best suited in class, education and al that sort of thing, and then go Ahead and marry if you care to-"

bartered in the markets at the coarse
 behest of necessity-Ella Finley
 oravely faced the gaunt wolf of want
 and yielded her delicate body to his
 faRgs rather than lower the flag of
 her ideals by so much as an inch
 For her, death from want a thousand
 times rather than stain upon the
 art she loved; a crust of bread and
 glass of water to prolong rather
 than ease the slow torture of starva-
 tion-these for her in preference to
 the plenty and comfort which loving

 False pride? Perhaps. And yet, some

 Daughter of a painter and reared in an atmosphere of art, Ella Finley sur rounded herself with all that appealed to her finest sensibilities. Her studio was the refinement of beauty and deli cacy. Thirty years ago she conse- crated herself to her ideal in art sculpture and painting Some of her work won the highest praise of con- noisseurs and occasionally she sold a production-but never unless the work had reached the point of perfection at which she aimed. Repeatedly she was urged to paint for the market. 70 annnal n 10 of fhncn pocketbooks are always open for that which pleases them. But she shook her head She would not debase her art by making a sacrifice to the tastes of the unartistic. She would let no painting leave her studio which she did not believe would live during the coming ages. Commercialism she spurned. For years she lived in com fort on the $10O month allowed her by wealthy brother in the west but when he died this income was cut off Then grim want entered her door. But she showed no sign. Her friends never dreamed that the paleness of her face and frailty of her form were due to hunger - hunger prolonged through the months and the years.
 For 30 years she struggled for her | ideals Then a friend found her dying. | but smiling. She was sitting before ! an unfinished picture which she fond | ly hoped would meet her own fulles. appreciation. Not penny was in her possession and the only food in he. | studio was a crust of bread. She had i lasted for ys. She was hurried to a hospital and all that love and skill could do was done to save her life. but in vain. The doctors said she lied from starvation.

GIRL WAS A GOOD FARMLAND
Masqueraeed in Boys Clothes Until an Accident Brought About the Dis
 closure of Her Sex.

Middleport, Conn.-Falling from an apple tree and injuring his back, James Dean. who had been employed as a farm laborer by B. M. Bell of Ala bama township, was forced to admit that he was a girl and had been mas querading as such for over six months.
 Dean, or Miss Olive Meeker. as her name really is. left her home. which she made with her married sister at East Syracuse, early last spring, and during the summer months was em- ployed at the assembly grounds at Chautauqua as a boy waiter. Leaving there at the close of the season, she hired out to MT. Bell and with five other hired men had done her share of the apple picking. No one suspected that she was woman.
 The physician who was called to at tend her when she fell from an apple tree discovered her sex and told MT. Bell. Then the whole story came out
 While posing as boy at the farm of the Bells she was nicknamed Hand some Jimmy and was quite favorite with the girls of that section, paying attention to one for some time. and even taking her to dances. Being slim, tall fair with auburn hair close ly clipped, Miss Meeker made all the boys and girls sit up and take notice
 MT. and Mrs. Bell say they will adopt Miss Meeker if she will live with them and thus partially fill the vacancy in their hearts caused by the death of an only daughter a few years ago, who. had she lived until now, would have been just Miss Meeker's nineteen years Thus her escapade has result ed in finding home for herself.
 The disclosure has relieved many a heartburn from the swains of the sur rounding country, who were forced to step aside for Handsome Jimmy. and the country lasses are kqpt busy ex. they were only fooling.

WOLF HUNTING WITH EAGLES
Kirahiz Train Great Birds to Hunt GazelIe, Foxes and Even
 Wolves.

All wanderers are lovers of the chase, but for sheer love of sport and daring exploits the Kirghiz take the palm, declares a writer in the Wide World Magazine. Central Asia is the home of falconry. which was not in- troduced into Europe. until the Crusa- ders brought back falcons with them from their eastern wanderings. But imagine the ambition of the men who fly their birds at wolves and foxes in- stead of at quails and partridgesl Not content with hunting game birds with small falcons. the Kirghiz capture and train the great golden eagles, with which they hunt such game as gazelIe, foxes and even wolves. A well mount ed Kirghiz falconer, carrying on his wrist one of these magnificent birds, is a fine sight. The weight of the eagle is such that the owner requires a support for his wrist, and the hunt CTS are usually to be seen with little wooden bracket that supports the arm against the hip. The eagles are hood ed, as all falcons are, but can only be used in winter when they are hungry and keen. In summer they are fed on marmots and live a restful life. sit ting in the sun in front of the tent doors When gazelle CT wolves are the objects of the chase, the eagles are aided by long sleek greyhounds, of small breed. the dogs running in and pulling down the quarry when the eagles have sufficiently bewildered it

INVESTIGATING PosroFFIcEs.

Under the personal direction of Postmaster General Hitchcock, the inspection service of the postoffice de partment is making a careful investi- gation into the administrative eff ciency of the large postoffices in the country Ever since Mir Hitchcock has been in office he has tried to get at certain facts that would enable him to judge of the comparative efficiency of the service in the various important postoffices of the country. To this end he has called for reports from the different postmasters, showing the dis tances travelled by the different car riers and the number of persons serv- ed by each He has obtained data on the amount of mail handled in vari- ous parts of the same city and in comparable sections of different cities
 For some time number of men have been at work compiling the sta tistics contained in these reports and deducting from them obvious conclu sions relative to the comparative eff ciency of the administration of the postofices in different cities.
 Thus far, the department has sent its inspectors only to those postoffices where bad conditions were evident on the face of the reports that have been received Just as soon as proceed ings have been taken to stop the busi- ness of some of the get-rich-quick companies a number of inspectors nov engaged in fraud investigations will be detailed to different postof- fees, the reports from which show a tow grade of efficiency. Hitchcock's success in reducing the postal deficit while at the same time increasing the service has encouraged him to make further efforts in this direction. He believes that instead of looping of appropriations for extension of serv- ice and reducing the deficit in this way the department should work to increase the efficiency of the postal service Experience has shown that whenever an attempt is made to cut down the service the complaints and investigations that follow result in a larger expenditure than would have been made had the service been con tinued and improved.
