That Bull Moose convention at Far
go was unique In the political annals
OF North Dakota. It would appear that
it was a gathering Of disappointed po-
Etical heelers, who assembled for the
purpose Of paying of some old poll
teal grudges. We wonder how far
they will get with It.

A TURKISH SINECURE.
Easy Job Of the Man Who Was APP
nointed BUOY Tender

Easy Job Of the Man Who Was Ap-
pointed Buoy Tender.
Some years ago it was resolved to
mora. some OF which extend to a mile
or more from the shore. An English
naval Officer was lent by the English
to the Turkish government in order to
carry out this and other measures.
He laid down the buoys and was sur
prised to find that the Turks thought
that thereppon the whole business was
concluded. He pointed out, however.
that buoys require care. that it Is
necessary to repaint them from time to
time. to pump the water out Of them
aud to see that they remain duly an
chored in their right position. To con-
vince the Turks Of this took consid-
cradle time; but. being at length con-
WINGED. they appointed a man espe-
cially to take charge of the buoys.
Some months later. however. the
English officer heard shocking reports
Of these buoys and many complaints
Of them. and on going out to inspect
them be found the paint worn OF and
most Of the buoys waterlogged. Here
upon he wrathfully found the man in
charge and demanded an explanation.
The man informed him that he had
never been supplied with a boat and
had therefore never been able to visit
the buoys since he had been in charge

TWO PICTURES.
by EDWIN A. NYE.

TWO PICTURES.
In New York gallery recently there
hung two pictures by the famous
Spanish painter Sorolla y Bastida.
One was picture of sunshine
A Valencian sea and shore are Hooded
with the midday splendor Ut June
The sunburst falls in its briliiancy on
the bronzed faces of fishermen arrayed
in their gorgeously colored plaid skirts
The luminous brightness is reflected
from the shiny coats OF oxen and
touches with gliding the white foamed
waves as they break ashore. 1t trans
forms the sails of the fishermen's boats
into cloth of gold. The waters beneath
are illumined. The golden air holds
up purely azure sky.
You see at glance.
1t is picture OF sunshine and Of
peace and joy. But the companion PIC
ture is different. Beneath it is writ
ten:
"A Sad Inheritance"
There is no sunshine in this picture
Its prevailing color is gray. 1t Is the
same sea and strand, but they stretch
out to Il forbidding horizon. Grew
some shadows lurk in the depths Of the
dark waters. and over all the scene
lowers Il threatening sky.
That is the background.
In the foreground are the nude fig.
ures Of dozen afflicted boys come
down to take the sea air-boys who
have inherited the curse Of a sinful
parenthood. Some Of the poor fellows
are hideously deformed: some are Grip
Piles with pitifully enlarged joints. A
black robed priest Is helping a dis
eased youth who is on clutches. The
boys are inmates Of a refuge home for
waifs-innocent sufferers, the sins of
whose parents have brought them pain
and early doom.
An awful picture.
You look and then you. look away.
There is no need to say to you. Look
The teaching is plain.
Where righteousness and purity abide
there is the earth filled with the sun.
shine of peace and happiness. Where
sin and unfaith and the sowing Of wild
oats find place there the bright colors
turn to dun. the clouds lower. and the
horizon is dark and ominous.
This is the way the old book puts it
in plain, homely truism:
THE fathers have eaten sour grapes,
and the children's teeth are set on
edge"
Sorolla's picture Of "A Sad Inherit
ance" shows the awful harvest Of he
redity. Somewhere back in the line of
parentage somebody has eaten sour
grapes.
