WHEN ARTISTS DISAGREE

A certain eminent landscape artist
sold picture to a wealthy woman
OF Boston. The woman soon became
tired of the picture because, as she
declared it lacked animation. So
she sent for another artist and asked
him to paint man or woman on
the road that ran through the middle
of the picture, says the Philadelphia
Record.
The artist did SO and when he met
the man who had painted the origi-
nal work he told him what he had
done. 81 had the temerity to alter
a landscape of yours the other day."
he said. at was one you sold to
Mrs. w She wanted a. figure painted
in, so I added an old man walking
down the road"
Road! What road. There's no
road in that picture
"Why, yes there is said the other.
There is a road that runs through
the middle of the canvas"
why, you fool" Indignantly cried
the first artist, that's no road!
That's river"

BY MARY MARSHALL.


The names of two countesses stand
out as the birthday patrons of De-
cember 10. One of these is the Count
ess of Lovelace, Augusta Ada, daugh-
ter of Lord Byron. the poet, and the
other is the present-day Countess of
Warwick, Frances Evelyn, by name,
whose fearless attitude on questions
of public interest gives her distinc-
ton among the peeresses of England.
Her best-known philanthropic work
is In connection with the agricultural
training school for young women car
ried on on her estate, Studley Castle,
in Warwickshire 1t is said that the
Countess of Warwick makes a point
of reading every important new book
that comes from the press, and she is
probably one of the best-informed
women in England.
Emily Dickinson was an American
poet, whose birthday falls on Deem

But, alas! they have absolutely no

three hours day at most, and what

An education that would adorn a

wasted because they are SO brief.

produced a few poems which attract
ed note, and herAletters. which she
wrote abundantly to her friends, were
full of rare wit. During the last fif-
teen years of her life she never left
her home and refused to see anyone

years later her name was known to

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
General LOgan's EOur-Day Speech

When it was announced that Cen
eral John A. Logan, Senator from
Illinois. would oppose the resolution
before the Senate authorizing the re-
opening of the case of General FitZ-
John Porter everybody in Washing
ton who was familiar with the views
General Logan held upon the appro-
priateness of the conviction of Gen
eral Porter by court-martial and the
sentence of him by the same author
ity to be shot was convinced that
General Logan would make q speech
well worth hearing. But for the in
terposition of Abraham Lincoln Gen.
eral Porter would have been shot by
sentence of the court-marshal upon
his conviction of charges of treachery
and disloyalty to General Pope In the
second battle of Bull Run.
General Porter's friends always in
sisted that he had been unjustly
treated and that there was abundant
evidence to show that he was not
guilty of the charges preferred
against him. l met General Porter
in 1873 and had an hours converse
ton with him. l realized that he
was then suffering keenly from what
he believed to be an unfair and unA
Just trial and conviction. His friends
introduced q resolution into the SEN
ate calling for the reopenmg of the
case. Subsequently General Grant
published an article in which he
stated that careful reading of the
evidence satisfied him that General
Porter had been improperly convict
ed and was not guilty of the charge
of treachery and disloyalty to his
commanding officer Everyone recog-
nized the moral heroism which char
acterized General Grants action.
Even General Logan referred to Gen
eral Grants article as perfect dem
onstration of the nobility of char
acter and the moral courage which
were, in his opinion, chief among the
great qualities of General Grant
General Logan's statements were all
the more effective in view of the tact
that he did not agree with General
Grant.
The galleries of the Senate chamber
were packed when General Logan be-
gan his speech In opposition to the
resolution. He was himself a mag

know the farmer and he gets to know
them. They are then able to trust

How to Get winter Eggs.

From the Country Gentleman.
How can I get hens that will lay
in winter" In all poultrydom there
is no more moot question than this.
The mass of consumers want their
eggs at least reasonably fresh at all
seasons, and the high price that fresh
eggs bring in winter has caused many
poultry keepers to specialize in this
direction.
Is the increased winter production
of eggs out of the question? By no
means. There are certain principles
which, if acted upon, will undoubted-
ly result in the production of eggs
in winter under almost any climate
conditions. They include knowledge
of the laying periods of different
breeds, the keeping of pullets rather
than hens for winter egg production
and the proper housing of fowls. The
fundamental principle of winter egg
production is to know the biology of
a breeds laying period. Different
breeds of fowls do not all begin lay
ing at the same time. Leghorns and
related breeds usually lay in five or
six months, while the normal first
laying period of the heavier breeds,
such as Plymouth Rocks, Wyan-
dottes, Orpingtons, Rhode Island
Reds and SO on, is seven or eight
mont hs.
Winter laying is probably not a
heritable character, but depends more
upon the age of the pullet than any.
thing else. When pullet reaches the
age of maturity for egg production
she will lay, no matter what the eli
mate may be.
Shall we keep hens or nullets for
the winter production of eggs? Dur
ing several winters / have gathered
data from my own flock, which are
briefly as follows:
In December of the first year Is
pulets laid 241 eggs, while 35 hens
laid only 95 .eggs-a ratio of about D
to i in favor of the pullets.
The next winter 20 pullets laid 1,0lS
eggs during December, January and
February. Thirty-one hens laid SS2
eggs during the same time.
The third winter | increased the
of pullets and decreased the
of hens, with this result:
pullets laid 1,13O eggs; %
hens laid 29s eggs. The hens were
all the previous years pullets, which
had made records for prolific laying.
With this evidence it Is apparent
that pullets are at least three and a
half or four times more valuable
than hens for the. winter production
of eggs.

speech ever delivered in the Senate
He spoke entirely eX tempore, refer

On the evening of the day after
General Logan finished his four-day
speech l met his very warm personal
friend, Senator Spencer, who some
years earlier served in the United
States Senate as one of the Represen-
tatives in that body of the State of
Alabama.
/ knew Senator Spencer to be a
very warm personal friend of General
Logan as well as a great admirer of
his career as a soldier. / spoke to
Senator Spencer about the extraor-
binary physical and mental vigor
which General Logan seemed to pos
sess at the close of his four-day
speech.
THAT was magnificent demon
stration of the power of the human
will to master physical ills and weak
nesses," said Senator Spencer 1.-THE
people who from the galleries listened
with such absorbed interest to the
general could not have known that
there was hardly moment when he
was not suffering more or less pain
from an attack of rheumatism. He
was afflicted with that malady, suf-
| fering sometimes excrutiatingly. and
| he attributed it to his exposure in icy
weather at the battle of Fort Dopnel-
son.

eral Logan did not sleen in all more
than six hours together in the three
nights following his first three davs'

slept only an hour. With Mrs. Logan
and one or two assistants he worked

balled up by frightful errors in the
proof slips of his speech of the day
before, which was to appear in the

matism and of his almost total loss
