"Robbios Peter to Pay Paul."

That proverb ''robbing Peter to pay
Paul" arose from the way in which
the dean of Westminster was treated
at the time Of the reformation. As
abbot he had b zen an Independent
dignitary. but as dean be was placed
under the authority Of a specially Gre
ated bishop Of Westminster. This di.
Geese after existing for ten years was
merged In the zee Of London, and
many of the domains Of st. Peters
abbey passed into the hands of the
chapter Of st. Paul's cathedral. thus
giving rise to the now familiar saying.
1T was by a hard struggle" writes
Dean Stanley, that the abbey was
saved in those tempestuous times. Its
dependency Of the priory of st. Mar
tins lie Grand was torn to pieces. and
its outlying domains to the east Of
Westminster were. 1t is said. sacrificed
to the Protector Somerset to induce
him to forbear from pulling down the
abbey ."-London Chronicle.

WHISTLER IN 4 RAGE.
Lady Msux Made Him Fairly spIutter
With Anaar.

Whistler painted three portraits Of
Lady Meux, one Of which, the sable
Picture Of Lady Meux," Is missing.
That one was the third for which
Lady Meux sat to the eccentric artist.
The other two are described in the
Pennell's life of the artist as among
his most distinguished portraits. Lady
Meux was handsome, Of more luxu'
RANT type than the women who usual.
" sat to him." and he found for her
harmonies appropriate to her beauty.
The first was an Arrangement In
White and Black which few people
have seen. There is sumptuousness
in the black Of the shadowy back
ground and the velvet gown, In the
white of the fur of the long cloak,
that Whistler never surpassed. Whis-
tier was pleased with it and spoke Of
it as his beautiful Black Lady, Lady
Meux was so we'll satisfied that she at
once sat for a second portrait. This
time the harmony was in Flesh COL
or and Pink afterward changed to
Pink and Gray"
The missing portrait was smaller.
So far as the artists biographers
could find out, 1t was never finished
The explanation is probably to be
found in this story, quoted in the
Life from Mr.. Harper Pennington:
1.-The only time saw Jimmy stump
ed for reply was at sitting Of
Lady Meux (for the portrait in sables).
For some reason Jimmy became nerv.
Gus exasperated - and impertinent.
Touched by something he had said, her
ladyship turned softly toward him and
remarked quite softly, See here, Jimmy
Whistler, you keep a civil tongue in
that head Of yours or I will have in
some one to finish those portraits you
have made Of mev with the faintest
emphasis on finish Jimmy fairly
danced with rage. He came up to
Lady Meux. his long brush tightly
grasped and actually quivering in his
hand, held tight against bis side. He
stammered, spluttered and finally
gasped out: How dare you7 How
dare your But that, after all, was
not an answer, was it? Lady Meux
did not sit again. Jimmy never spoke
Of the incident afterward, and I was
sorry to have witnessed it."

ANXIETY FELT FOR
4 NEWSPAPER men

the party of San Diego newspaper men
who left here Saturday morning In an

Lower California. Up to late tonight
no word has been received from the
party and in view of reports that ban

was headed by w. D. Vanblarcom, who
was accompanied by H. G. Eller, Bert

the Mexican border by telegraph line

Good Clothes and Good Morals.


It is doubtful whether any one to
whom soap and water and more or
less tidy clothes are a matter Of course
can rightly estimate the extent to
which this question Of clothes and
cleanliness bears upon the criminality
Of youths. Dirty, ragged garments,
greasy caps and neck scarfs worn day
after day without the possibility Of a
change are, I believe. responsible for
much. Certain it Is that the lad who
10 content with but one set Of raiment
invariably belongs to very low stra'
tum of society, and the absence Of a
desire for a Sunday suit and the un-
abashed wearing Of the weekday suit
on the Sunday IL very frequently In
deed the mark of one largely imper-
vious to outside influences.-O. q. B.
