A "Primitive" Painter.

Henri Rousseau. man who used to
hold a minor government position in
France, was for a quarter Of a cen
fury the joke of artists and art students
in Paris. For years in the independ-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some of his famous pictures
were LADY on a Sofa In Jungle"
"Tiger In Jungle" ''Nigger In a
Jungle" He affected jungles, which
consisted of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as if she had come out Of Noah's
ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort of work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity.
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. II am real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length Of buying his pictures.

What tho Boys Thought.


A prominent educator, talking to a
class in an elementary school he had
visited, decided to illustrate point he
was making by problem in long divi-
sion, the intrioacies of which the class
had just mastered. He put down the
necessary figures and then said:
"Now, let us see how many times
this number will go into the other. Let
us try six" He tried six, and, as he
attended, six wouldn't do. "Well, let's
try five, then," he said. Five was all
right, and he went ahead with his talk.
On his way home that evening he
overlook two small boys with book
bags under their arms and heard this
conversations:
"Say, Bill, did a long whiskered,
baldheaded old Teller come into your
room today?'
"Yep," replied Bill. T..
"And did he talk to you"
"Yep," said Bill.
"Well, so he did to us, but the fun
NEST thing, by golly, was that the old
chump stumped himself on an example
in long division" Philadelphia Times.

Most Beautiful Water In World.

Most Beautiful Water In World.
Little restaurants are scattered along
the cliff overlooking the bay of Capri,
and here by the waters edge you can
sit and sip and gaze at Vesuvius away
off in the distance or perhaps at the
water in the bay below.
The most beautiful water in the
world! The blue water of the grotto
is more mystical, perhaps, but the wa
ter Of the bay Of Capri is more ex-
quisite. 1t is a wonderful pale green,
with greener, darker color streaked
through it. There is no other water
like it in all the world.
And here in the little restaurant you
sit and sit, gazing at the water below,
although you know in your heart you
ought to be seeing the rest Of the
place. But the water Is so green and
beautiful that when the warning whis-
tie of the Naples steamer blows you
awake with start and realize you
have seen nothing Of Capri at all
nothing but the emerald water, so en-
t1cing and beautiful-Mary Sutley in

Some Interference Wireless Operator,

0omo JnSOS1orOnoo wireless Operators
Cannot Overcome.
Few are the steamer passengers who
fail to visit the wireless office aboard
ship to watch the operation Of the in
struments and to question the oper.
ator. Needless to say, the Technical.
understanding Of the well meaning
visitors is variable quantity. The
operator must listen to wondering ex.
carnations, original suggestions To-,
the improvement Of the service, dis
courses on the relations between wire
less telegraphy and spiritualism and
other doubtful topics with uniform
courtesy. At times, however, the
strain Is too great. It was lady pas.
senger with an eye for details who
came to the wireless room and looked
wonderingly in.
"Oh, here's the wireless! May.
come in? Isn't It wonderful to think
Of sending those-those waves-you
call them waves, don't you? How fas.
cinating to work at this! Are those
Jars filed with water?''
'Those are condenser Jars, madam
quite empty"
REALLY? don't believe could
ever understand it. That coil of wire
looks like birdcage."
'That is the inductance helix"
"What are those things over your
ears?" -.
''The receiving telephones"
'"Then you have, telephone connec.
ton too. One can hardly keep up
with the times these days. What does
that coil do?'
'"That is the receiving tuner and in

"Wonderful! Does it keep out all in

''Not ALL" replied the operator wea.
rily. "Some kinds Of Interference can't
be tuned out; we just have to stand

BELIEVES IN OLD IDEAS
Says New Tangled Method Is to Haul
Everything Out by the Roots and
Keep the Roots Exposed-ModestIy
Refers to Himself and Declares "You
Can't Pull Good Man Down."

can't Pull a GOOD Man Down."
Boston, Mass, Jan. 2S-Aiming a
blow at his enemies, declaring that
the endeavor of many earnest advo-
Gates of reform and progress of the
present day seemed to be to haul
everything out by the roots and keep
the roots exposed, Secretary of the
Interior Ballinger, in speech before
the banquet of the alumni of Williams
college, emphasized the point that
good man could not be pulled down
and the work of the heads and hands
of good men would be steadier be-
cause of the shocks of battle.
II hear have enemies in Boston,"
said Secretary Ballinger. "Well, no
matter; they, like my other enemies,
are probably too incorrigible to war
rant my embittering my temper over
the wrongs they have done me and it
is indelicate for me to exhibit my
scars to you on festive occasion.
Il am old fashioned enough to be-
lieve in the institutions of our fathers
and that they will be preserved, not
withstanding new tangled ideas of
government or the flaming fanaticism
of the crusader.
Wrong Idea Of Progress.
Zone would suppose, with our op-
portunities of culture and general edu-
cation, that stability in all things
would be the order of the day, but
the contrary is most evident-to haul
everything out by the roots and keep
the roots exposed seems to be the
idea of many advocates of progress.
But most men, I am sure, enjoy the
distinction of being upbuilders rather
than uplifters. It is much easier to
pull things up by the roots than to
await the slow process of nature in
producing fruit.
you can't pull a good man down."
the secretary said, "and you can't pre-
vent the onward progress of a good
cause or righteous principle. The
good men," he continued, will go on
with their work, and the steadier will
be their heads and hands because of
the shocks Of battle that great prin-
c1ples must endure and control human
activities.
II trust that it may be long before
the narrow and sordid view of life
shall possess our people of the great
West" continued the secretary.
