From the Kansas City Star.
 Arthur Lefevre, the well known Texas author, said in Victoria, apropos of the Texas prohibition campaign:
 That reminds me of happening at the University of Virginia during my student days in 's4
 There was a Baltimore freshman at the varsity whose father got several let ters about his boys wild ways-about his fondness for peach and honey and such-lke heavy, drinks. These letters grieved the old man to the heart. He wrote to the freshman, and in reply got a general denial of all the charges.

UNDERWOOD AND TY COBB

From the Sprlngf1eld Republican.
 When Congressman Underwood was in- troduced to his home folks at a public meeting in Birmingham, Ala, last week, he was named as "Alabamas candidate for the presidency." Just to show that he was already elected, so far as the state was concerned, the crowd cheered rapturously for two minutes. That was nothing, however, in the way of cheering. Watch Georgia when Ty Cobb gets home with AGO per cent batting average.

JEWELS OF THE LOUVRE

From the Louisville Courier Journal.
 The news that the Mona Lisa of Leon- ardo da Vinci was stolen from the Louvre is followed by the announcement Of a Paris paper that s2 paintings, com ton. have been stolen.
 Saurageot was a wealthy amateur who left his collection to the Louvre a half century ago. The greatest curiosity in his possession was a picture labeled, "A Head of Christ, the Image Not Having Been Painted by Art But Impressed by Miracle"
 Some of the art critics declare that those of us who have bowed to the art of other days, and to Da Vinci, before the Mona Lisa have proven our ignor- ance and inability to tell the difference
 between a masterpiece and daub palmed
 off as one. The Mona Lisa, they say,
 vas probably not painted by Da yinc at all, and if it was it has been touched up from time to time till it bears no more
 resemblance to Da Vinci's work than a pair of trousers with 40 patches upon them bear to the garment as it came from the tailor. Alas! There are so few of us among those of us who do not paint for living or for the love of art who can tell a great painting from a meritorious one without catalog, and sometimes even
 the shrewdest and best versed critics fall
 out and brawl about whether a painting should be hung high upon walls dedi- cated to the preservation of the fame Of the immortals or dumped into dust bin as a rank imposture. In view of this fact just how much. faith should the untutored rubber neck" in the Louvre rest-or have rested--in the collection of Sauvageot who had the effrontery to en- ter miracle among his paintings, and
 may not have had nice scruples about the genuineness of other paintings that were | destined to become jewels of the Louvre?

Birmingham Mans Promotion

Frank Deedmeyer, formerly a prosper ous lawyer of Birmingham, but for some thing like two years United States con- sul at Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada, has made a most favor able impression among the people at his consular post, as various newspaper eX- tracts reproduced in The Age-Herald have attested. And now that the govern- ment has promoted him, there seems to be sincere regret in Charlottestown at his going away and congratulations at the same time at his advancement. When MT. Deedmeyer was examined for the consular service he scored exceptionally high percentages. Besides being law yer he was a linguist and his knowledge
 of several modern togues stands him in good stead as consular officer It is predicted that he will be appointed to a consul generalship within few years. The Charlottestown Guardian of Septem- Der 12 says:
 General regret will be felt through out the city and province for the depar- | ture of Consul and Mrs. Deedmeyer. | They leave this morning for New York and Washington, en route to Leghorn, Italy, where MT. Deedmeyer will assume | the office and duties of American con- sul. His new appointment Is rather notable promotion, distinctly due to his
 ability, the high qualifications and the
 untiring industry which he brought to the
 discharge of his duties here. In the brief | time that Consul Deedmeyer has resided | in Charlottetown he was acquired re- markable amount of information as to trade, industry and resources of the prov
 nce and thorough acquaintance with | the sentiments and requirements of the people. A scholarly, courteous and ac- | complished gentleman, MT. Deedmeyei | has won favor for his country and for
 himself among all whom he has met. S1e
 and Mrs. Deedmeyer, who has proven an l admirable helpmeet to her husband 1T | every way, have won well deserved pop ularity in this city and province and will
 be much missed in the best social circles | here.

CHILDREN'S HOME
A WORTHY CHARITY
NORTH DAKOTA cHILDREN's
HOME ONE OF THE MOST DE-
SERVING OF ASSISTANCE FROM
PEOPLE OF THE sTATE-MANY
CARED FOR.

The Children's home was organized
in 1890 and incorporated In 1897 as a
North Dakota institution. 1t was, be-
Minnesota society. Since it's organixa-
fore that time. an auxiliary to the
ton over 1.06S children have been cared
for. This means that there are at
least that many good men and women
added to the list OF desirable citizens
In North Dakota that would In all
probability have gone to swell the
ranks of the state penitentiary. The
latter statement is a possibility and
any fair minded person can readily see
that the Children's home is thus a
great factor in the upbuilding Of our
state.
There have been three different
superintendent since the organization
of the home, Rev. Mr.. McConnehey held
the position for the first three years;
Rev. B. FL. Breasted for the seven years,
and f. ID. Hall, now in charge, has had
the supervision Of the home for the
past nine or ten years.
The work of the home Is not alone
to take in the children of tender age
and care for them until q home is
found, but great deal of work gener-
ally is done among the poor in the
city, Work is found for many unfor-
tunate girls, and babies are taken care
