Following the battle of Houndsditch,
England has been busy finding out all
that can be learned concerning the
foreign criminals In the British Isles
and particularly in London An easy
compilation of statistics would be that
OF the foreigners In British prisons.
But apparently as near as the statisti-
pntation Is the consideration OF the
number Of foreigners given prison sen
tence In 1909. The total is 2,617, ac-
cording TO the Industrious statistics
hunter OF the Chicago Tribune. and
Americans are easily first on the list
with an aggregate OF 622. America
likes TO be first In most things, and
americans abroad enjoy the pleasure
OF pointing out American supremacy
y whenever occasion arises. In this case.
however. the United States would glad
ly yield the palm. Criminal pre-emi.
hence Is not pleasing distinction. II
may be said, however. that only the
higher class American criminals go
abroad TO conduct their operations.
Probably the American jail birds in
England are the cream of the criminal
aristocracy. The poorer quality We
keep pretty well bottled up at home
And we also have fine large assert.

Imposing as anything of which Eng
land can boast In this line.

kuehne ReverIdas In Munich.

Miss Kuehne Beveridge, the talented
American sculptress who created a
sensation at Leipzig not long ago with
some passionate groups, has completed
Mt Munich the bust of Prince Ludwig
Ferdinand of Bavaria, for which the
prince has been sitting to her.
In addition she has finished statue
of Amfortas. the keeper of the Holy
Grail. which Munich critics declare to
be her best work. The model for the
statue was Clarence WhitehiIl of the
Metropolitan Opera, New York, who
created the role of Amfortas in Wag-
ners "Parsifaf' in America and has
also sung the part In Baireuth.
Writing of the statue. Munich
critic, says: Il.
"The conception is simple and yet
powerful; 1t Is dramatic and yet ele-
glac-the hands alone would make this
work remarkable. They are the hands
of strong man and gentle man;
they are wasted by suffering almost TO
emaciatlon, but their beauty Of line
and character remains"

Stop Indiscriminate Shooting,

Rarely night passes In Cairo with
out the firing of pistol shot in
some part of the city. In most in
stances the shots fired at imaginary
burglars, and the practice should be
curbed.
Every time nervous citizen rush
es into the street and fires his revolver
at a burglar of his imagination, the
life of some other citizen Is endan-
gered. There are many honest citi-
gems on the street at all hous of the
night and they are entitled to some
protection.
A few nights ago business man,
who lives in the downtown district,
discharged his revolver. The report OF
the shot brought several officers to
the scene, two of whom were less
than 100 feet away
A search of adjacent alleys and
yards was made by the officers, but
no trace could be found of the burg
lar. although two of the policemen
reached the business man In less than
a minute after he had fired the shot
Every citizen has the legal right
to protect his home against intrud-
ers. but the law does not permit him
to discharge revolver unless he has
some reasonable excuse.
Indiscriminate shooting must be
stopped and citizens, who violate the
law in this manner should be prose-
cuted
A member Of the Police Depart
ment declared recently that he hest
tated to venture into some of the
dark alleys of The city, because of the
danger of being mistaken for burg
lar
They shoot and look afterwards $
the officer said Several times |
have narrowly escaped shots directed
at imaginary burglars"
The nervous citizen is not the only
offender Attention also should be
given to the practice of shooting AT
noisy dogs and cats. Bullets fired al
cats and dogs are Just as deadly as
bullets fired at real or imaginary
burglars and hishwaymen.

cook book that has been published at

occasional blank pages for notes and
additional recipes. Often she had ex-

he said:

When he got chance he looked
through the book himself. Every note
the book contained was remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble.

MISS MApdE CLAIBORNE.

Miss Madge Claiborne, pretty Tex
as girl, has hit upon an odd and I'M
usual way of earning livelihood. She
paints street signs. Any fair day she
may be seen gowned in neat shirt
waist. tailored skirt and sailor hat on
the streets of New York city painting
signs for large advertising firm that
advertises everything from straight
front corsets to plug cut tobacco.
Miss Claiborne comes from noted
southern family. A great-grandfather
Of hers, though Virginian BY birth,
was governor of Louisiana. This
sign painting work was taken up by
Miss Claiborne as means to an ar
tistic end Being convinced that she
could paint big billboards as well as a
man, she applied for the job and got 1t.
This plucky young woman has done
some very creditable miniature studies
and is ambitions of making this
branch of art her life work.
Speaking of sign painting, Miss
Claiborne says It Is no more tlresome
than standing all day behind counter
waiting on customers. and, besides. it
has the advantage of being an out
door occupation and much more health
full than shut-in work.
When asked If her work subjected
her to annoying notoriety, she replied:
"Once In awhile some 'smarty' comes
along and says something that makes
me want to Jump down and wiring his
neck. and maybe III do 1t some day,
but try to curb myself and keep my
mind on my work. There Is one adj
vantage-I can turn my back on the
crowds while I paint"
Apropos of the suffrage question.
Miss Claiborne thinks that 1t has rails
ed the intellectual status Of women.
but she is not sure they need the
ballot.

YOUR OWN LIFE A QUARRY
Out Of u You Are to Mould and chlsel
a Character, Said the Poet
Goethe.

1t was Goethe who said: Life is a
quarry" He does not mean the life
outside Of yourself He means your
own life, that separate part of God $
universe over which he has set you
as supreme master, king to rule the
dominion. Goethe says that this life.
your own life. his life, everybody's life,
is a quarry. A quarry is place
where stone is gotten. The value Of
a quarry is always In the quality Of its
stone Now life, IL 1t be a quarry. is
simply place containing something
that is valued, uniformed DIT with
skin may be wrought into what is val
liable The stone from the quarry is
chiselled into form. A greater value
comes from the chiselling of this
stone Michael Angeles Moses" is
witness of what great artist may do
with chisel upon block Of marble.
Really, then, II your own life Is a
quarry, you yourself must be the art
list, and out of the material OF the
quarry you are going to make what is
beautiful and worthful to the world.
Let me complete the entire quotation:
Life is a quarry out Of which we are
to mould and chisel and complete a
character."--John T. Mcfarland.
