MISS SUSAN GLASPELL'S DOG
VOLTA the Original of the Puppies In
Her Story The
Visionlng.

Miss Susan Glaspell, the author, has
a dog, which fact is of more impor-
lance than might at first appear. For
Bohemian beast, that inspired the Gre
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
1t, to use their names in English form.
1t was Miss Glaspell's own dog,
Bohemian beast, that inspired the ere
alton Of The Visioning's twin puppy
clowns. The real dog also has
French name, VOLTA. When its owner
bought II, over in Paris, she wanted at
first to name it Raspail, both in mem
DRY of the boulevard on which she
lived and as 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 Glaspell compromised on VOLTA.
VOLTA has vagaries. 1t is a wan
derer 1t is a coolie, and a coolie, 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 think moth
ing of such phone message as this:
Hello! Is dis Miss Glaspell! Veil,

Will you come for him."
Then the author of The Visioning
has to drop chapter plans and seek
out Herr Bummelransen's place with
sorrow-and dollar. But were 1t not

Montague Parker and Turkish

After much excavating had been
done and some relics, 1t is claimed, re-
covered, the work was interrupted by
charges that the explorers had violated
access to 1t for the purposes Of exca-
waiting by bribing Its guardians. Popu-

foreigners that after they had with

one In doubt as to whether the ex.

their rights, but, on the other hand, 1t
furnishes unmistakable evidence that
the captain was sanguine OF discover

velops that the Turkish government
was a partner to the transaction and
was to share in the spoiis.
The contract contains IL articles It
was signed on October 26, 1908, by
Captain Parker and Ziah Pasha. then
minister of finance, acting for the
Turkish government.
BY the terms Of the agreement the
captain is given the privilege of exca-
waiting one full year from the date of
his commencing operations, after the
lapse of which period the work of ex-
cavation must be discontinued, unless
the government should grant further
lease of the land and renew the privi-
lege Of excavation on condition that

To Farm on Copper Lands.

A party of Houghton capitalists have
under consideration the establishment
at point ON the Copper Range rail
road south OF Houghton of a 600-acre
experimental farm. The lands have al
ready been secured, but are at pres

Steps will be taken during the COM
ing winter to cut the timber, and
early next spring the stumps will be
removed and the land made ready for
cultivation. 1t is hardly probable that
crops will be planted before 1913. but
