Love and Art

It was but short time after Lori mer built his bungalow until his pop ularity was established in our neigh borhOod of orange groves and mag nolia trees. His studio was place for sigh'-seers, as well as pleasant re- sort fer friends and neighbors.
 Others succumbed to Lorimer's in- fluence because they found him re- sGQpsiye and congenial, but l imagined that he attracted me because he was my contrast It was he, himself, who discovered that our natures, beneath the surface, were positive and not neg ative, and with that discovery he swept away all imagined barriers between us, placing me at once in the heart of the company that haunted his bungalow.
 He said to me one day as he looped a Persian drapery behind his models chair: "Tisdale, you have the depth of artist-instinct, but you haven't the gift of expression. You don't even talk. These others, for instance,"- waving hls hand in the direction of the chatterers just gone-"these others talk about everything they feel, and, dear boy, they have so little to tell"
 His tone to me was like a velvet touch, and his eyes held a steel-blue gleam that made me love to look at him. I knew that he knew my inner self, and that whatever that self might be, it was valued by him.
 l shall never forget the kindly sym pathy that shone from his eyes when he realized one special day that I needed him to understand me. I had gone to him, troubled about my moth CTS orphaned cousin Lucy, who had come to Us to live, having no other place to go. I wanted to befriend her, to make her happy, and l could not even tell her that she was welcome.
 She was little daisy maid, blossom ing into womanhood almost in day, under our soft skies and in our south ern California breezes.
 As l entered the studio, Lorimer's ofean-shaven cheeks, his locks of dark hair thrown off his forehead, the friendly eyes under his heavy brows, iudOO u nL CiO"n lO HIS Ldll IOIul standing before the easel 1 can see the very dab of ochre on his thumb. He was busy at one of his wonderful wood interiors, touching in the sun- light by hints of yellow on the lichen- covered trunks.
 Yes, Tisdale," Lorimer said, after had looked for a long time over his shoulder without speaking, q feel the joy of utterance. Why, man, think what relief to weep in grief! That is what it Is to paint, to sing, to be a poet"
 T can do none of these things" l answered slowly.
 No, but after all, perhaps within you may be artist or poet. Life has an intensity, value, that this hasn't" and Lorimer lightly struck his can. vas.
 A woman-it is always a woman that intrudes upon mems friendships She Is sort of earth, trespassing upon kind of heaven. This time, it was of course, the daisy maid, and it is difficult to know whether she made earth heaven, or brought heaven to earth

GOV DENEEN WILL SUPPORT TAFT AS THE REGULAR RE
 PUBLICAN NOMINEE.
DID ALL POSSIBLE FOR TEDDY
But Can't conscientiously Support Any Other Than the Regular Party Ticket-Dlxon h.
 sists Upon Third Ticket

Springfield, III, July 93-The com mittee of progressive Republicans who were appointed by Medill Mccormick to wait on Gov. Deneen and ascertain whether he would support Taft or Roosevelt for president were informed by the governor that he considered Taft the regular nominee of the Re- publican party for president. and that as such he felt obligated to support his candidacy.
 In substance Gov. Deneen says that, while he did everything he could for Roosevelt, and abided by the primary results, still he was nominated in the primary as a Republican candidate and can conscientiously do nothing but support the Republican ticket.

No Time for Compromise.

Anything like a compromise be- tween the Republicans and the pro- gressives, such as having a candidate for governor running on the Repub lcan ticket while he was supporting the third party candidate for presi dent, would be undesirable to Col Roosevelt and inconsistent w h pro gressive ideas.

The Wild Pigeon Mystery.

That the wild pigeon. once so com
mon in the United States. has become
extinct is one of the strangest mys-
teries in American natural history. It
is puzzle which has baffied scientists
and which probably never will be solv-
ed. Less than forty years ago wild
pigeons were abundant in Pennsylva-
MIA. Ohio. Indiana. Kentucky and all
the states of the middle west. In their
migrations they travelled In hocks num-
bering tens of thousands. and it some
times took single flock the better
part Of an hour to pass given point.
Vast numbers Of the pigeons were
killed every year by gunners. but many
investigators hold that the complete
disappearance of the species must have
been due in part at least to other
causes. No other bird was ever SO nu-
merous in this country as the pigeon

Snake kiIIinu Ants.

It is difiicult to believe that ants win
kill snakes. but such is the case, and
scientists have discovered that in GER
tain regions this class Of reptile has no
more persistent enemy. The large red
brown forest ants are the most Inn
placable, and a curious thing about the
attack of these tiny creatures on the
reptiles is that they kin it for food and
not on account of natural antipathy.
When some of these ants catch sight
Of snake they arouse the whole conn
munity at once. In platoons and bat
talions the little fellows set upon it,
striking their ''nippers" into its body
and eyes at thousands Of points at
once. So rapidly is this done that the
snake has no chance Of escaping. He
soon becomes exhausted and dies igno-
miniously. The ants then tear or the
flesh, gradually stripping OF the skin
and working inside it. Not until they
have carried away everything except
the bones and the skin do they abandon
their prey.

Esxinn Fish.

Flying fish swim In shoals varying
In number from a dozen to a hundred
or more. They often leave the water
at once. darting through the air In the
same direction for 200 yards or more,
and then descend to the water quickly,
rising again and then renewing their
flight. Sometimes the dolphin may be
seen in rapid pursuit. taking great
leaps out of the water and gaining
upon his prey, which take shorter and
shorter flights, vainly trying to escape.
until they sink exhausted. Sometimes
the larger sea birds catch flying fish
in the air. The question whether the
flying fish use their fins at all as wings
Is not fully decided. The power Of
flight is limited to the time the fins re-
main moist.

queen shared her confidence with no

Queen Victoria was always a vOlu-

the royalties in Europe. Every do

during half a century is said to be rep
resented by the contents of this won

that the modern historian would find

Weather Crop Bulletin.

For week ending June 16, 1912.
Des Moines Iowa.
This has been the best growing
week of the season. The average
Temperature has been about normal,
and while the sunshine was some
what deficient, the rainfall was gen.
orally above the average. Showers
were frequent and fairly we'll dis
tributed But the amounts of rain
fall varied from OF inch in southern
Taylor county to 4.44 inches in CAL
houn county. The rainfall was also
heavy in Wayne and Decatur coun-
ties, where severe local storms oc-
Cured, accompanied by high winds
and some hail, which, with the heavy
rain, did considerable damage to
fields and crops. All crops have
made good progress, but in many
localities, oats and some fall wheat,
on rich ground, are getting rank and
have a tendency to lodge if wet
weather continues. Corn has i'm
proved during the past few days,
and the cultivation of the fields is
being rushed as rapidly as possible
The fields are generally clean and
the soil is in fine condition. Pas
lures are unusually good In fact
there is more grass in some sections
than is needed for the small number
of cattle on hand. While the hay
crop will not be quite up to the av-
erage, it will be much better than
last year. Potatoes are fine, and in
many localities there has been suf-
ticient rainfall to mature the early
crop. Homegrown Strawberries of
excellent quality are on the market.
Cherries are ripening, and are larger
and of better quality than last sea-
son. Plums give promise of good
yield. GEORGE M. CHAPEL,
Section Director
