MISS SUSAN GLASPELL'S DOG
VOLTA the Original Of the Puppies In
Her Story, 1.-THE
visioninq."

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
q dog, which fact is of more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
in her new novel. THE Visionary" are
introduced two frolicsome puppies
named Pourquoi and N'est-ce-pas. And
there are no two more real characters
in the whole book than Why and Amt
It, to use their names in English form.
1t was Miss Glaspell's own dog.
Bohemian beast, that inspired the Gre
alton of 1.-The Visioning's" twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has a
French name, VOLTA. When it's owner
bought it, over in Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail, both in men,
ory Of the boulevard on which she
lived and as a sympathetic cognomen
for sensitive souled Partisan dog.
But her family objected. They could
not see their way clear to shouting,
Come Raspail! Raspail! Raspail!" So
Miss Giaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. It is a wan
derer. 1t is a collie, and collie, it
evidently thinks, ought to be afield.
Whenever it feels that way, away
VOLTA goes. Fortunately it wears a
collar with Miss Glaspell's name and
address. She has come to thing moth
ing of such phone message as this:
Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspell! Veil,
dis is der bartender bic Hans Bum
melransen's saloon. No, no, wait! l
didn't got der wrong phone number. l
choost want to say l got here your tog.
Will you come for him."
Then the author of "The Visoining'
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
sorrow-and a dollar. But were 1t not
so there might never have been a
N'est-ce-pas and Pourquoi.

Former Manager Of tho New YORK
Clearing House Had Consuming
Ambition to Find One Days

One Of the most famous managers
in the history of the worlds largest
clearing house association-that OF
New York city-was the late William
A. Camp. He held that position for
nearly quarter of century. and IN
that time he carried the clearing
house through two famous panics-
those Of 1873 and 1S93-and several
lesser financial disturbances. No
financial history of the country OF the
period from 1870 to 1894 would be
complete without paying considerable
attention to the activities of Mr.. Camp

ing House association and the work OF
that institution under his manage
