A Story Of q Great Painter.

Van Dvck, who was a pupil Of
Rubcns, had much pride in his own
work. as is shown in the following
tale: The canms Of certain
church asked him to paint a pic
turc for them, and when it was
done and they saw it the canons
called him "dauber" and went
away Disguised. Van Dyck was only
a young man then and had no re-
dress, but after awhile some critics
passed upon the picture and de-
clared it to be wonderful. The
canons were sorry for their mis-
take and to make amends, gave him
a commission for two more pictures.
But Van Dyck was on his dignity,
and he sent them word that there
were plenty of 'daubcrs" in their
own place without calling upon
those of Antwerp.

HARVESTING sEAwEEp.
fhs Crop 10 Used In Northern France
to Enrich the Soil.

Among the important features Of
the agricultural industries along
the northern coast Of France is the
harvesting of seawced.
As soon as the receding waters
permit the seaweed gatherers fall
diligently to work. Soon every rock
and ledge is shaver of its brown,
Shiny fleece and left as bare as the
back Of q shorn sheep.
Then preparations are made for
an attack on the reefs, so numer-
Gus along the southern coast Of the
English channel. Everything that
will float is pressed into service.
Huge RATS are constructed, and
next morning, with the current of
the cbbing tide in their favor, they
are towed by the people in the
boats eight or ten miles out from
the coast.
Low water leaves them stranded
on the reefs and all hands make the
best of their time. The worker
kneels on the dripping weeds,
grasps a handful in the left hand
and With he sickle in the right cuts
it off close to the rock and places it
in lag. As soon as he has cut as
much as he can carry the sack is
taken on the back to the raft, upon
which it is received by men with
pitchforka, stacked and securely
roped.
Towing the heavily laden RATS to
the shore is tedious work, and prog
ress is slow. The wet harvcsters
are soon chilled to the bone by the
keen cast wind that always prevails
in this latitude during the month of
March, tho harvesting season for
scawecd.
The morning cbb tide leaves the
RATS and their spoils Of scaweed

beach.
They are instantly surrounded

through the reciprocity bill because
it meant lower duties. We united
with progressive Republicans in

Government Contends Statute Govern
ing False Statements is Valid.
Washington, April 20.--The first big
legal contest arising out OF the pas
sage OF the pure food and drug act Of
1906 had the right of way in the SUI
preme court of the United States. The
government was making last effort
to prosecute criminally persons who
labeled drugs or medicines with false
statements about the curative proper
ties of their preparations.
The point arose in the United
States district court in western Mis-
souri,, where an indictment against
DR. d. r. johnson was quashed on the
ground that the act did not apply to
false statements about the curative
properties Of drugs, but only to false
statements regarding the ingredients.
DR.. Johnson was charged with having
shipped in interstate commerce drugs
which he stated would cure cancer,
but which the government claims
"were entirely ineffective and worth
less for that purpose"
It is claimed on behalf Of Johnson
that IL the law is to be interpreted as
forbidding a statement about the cura-
tive property of drugs the act is I'M
constitutional Such statements are
defended as mere forecasts concern
ing future event.
Solicitor General Lehman, in a
brief for the government he has just
filed with the court, says that study
Of the act shows that congress had in
mind striking at false statements re-
garding the remedial qualities of
drugs. He defends the law as consti-
tutional when interpreted to forbid
such statements.

FIND BODY in HOLLOW TREE
Mystery Surrounding Disappearance Of
Daniel Bonner Partly Cleared Up.

Tulsa, Okla, April 20.-The body of
Daniel c. Bonner was found in tree,
head downward, a few miles from
here, where it had been, it. is believed.
for the last two months.
Bonner had been shot twice in the
head with q rife Of large caliber. He
disappeared tive months ago.
Bonner Was the owner Of team and
cab and was well known here. Two
months ago he was engaged to take q
stranger into the woods on q hunting
trip. He never returned. He had no
relatives here and no particular effort
was made to locate him.
Il Is believed that Bonner was nEst
accidentally shot by the man with
whom hS was hunting. There is q
squirrels nest In the top Of the tree
and II is supposed that Bonner climbed
the tree to brighten the squirrels. It
is believed that the stranger, in shoot
ing at squirrel, hit Bonner. Bonner
fell, 1t is supposed, and his companion.
believing he, was fatally hurt, fired
again to end his suffering.
It became known that Bonner's team
and cab were left by stranger with
a farmer several miles from the scene
Of the tragedy. The man said ne
would call for the rig the next day,
but he never came back.
The man who went hunting with
Bonner has since been identified. He
is resident of Missouri, 1t is said,
and man Of considerable wealth.

ed to have discovered the north
pole, in a Chautauqua lecture at
Aurora, Ill, called Admiral Peary
"A liar, an unmitigated scoundrel.
an attempted murderer, the parent
of two Eskimo boys, who are now in
the frozen North, crying for bread,
while their parent feeds on plenty
as Rear Admiral"
He discovered the north pole
perhaps Peary did Peary could
have found the pole ten years ago
before it was discovered in 1908
had he chosen, Cook said.
"Peary did not want the pole dis
covered. 1t was his excuse for get
ting public funds to fit out his ex-
petitions to the North in quest of
furs and ivories. These 'dashes to
the pole at the public expense
made Peary a millionaire" said
Cook.
"Peary's trips to the North in
the interests of science were at an
end after l discovered the pole and
told the world of it." said Cook.
Realizing that his great income
was to be cut off, and that his du-
plicity would be revealed, intense
anger consumed Peary. Then he
fastened to tell the world, though
with ill-cOncealed bitterness, that
Cook was a gigantic liar" said
Cook.
Il am ready to show that money
was used by Peary to promote an
immortality that would put the
white slave trade to shame. What
Peary did in the North even in a
mining camp would cause a lynch
ing if people had an ounce. of good
red blood in their veins.
"Peary deserted two children in

is a well.fed Admiral" said Cook.
