ART AND ARISTOcRACY'
By CARL CLAY.

Il wasn't remarkable that she cared
% much about nobility. or. that she
knew much about art for in point OF
fact she had never seen q nobleman.
and a. for art, 1t had always been
represented to her by few columns
in the newspaper. containing illusions
to subjects unfamiliar to her. Then
one day she met the marquis. From
that time her devotion to art and the
aristocracy was remarkable.
A girl friend, stenographer like
herself, had asked her to visit the.
Art institute with her one Wednesday
noon hour. Though she would much
rather have gone to "see about get
ting a hat she had so great an ad-
miration for the friend, who was very
advanced in her views on many sub
jects, that she followed the friends
lead rather aimlessly through rooms
filed with pictures of the sea-. of anil
mails, cows and horses and lovely wo-
men dressed as she had never seen
women of her world dressed.
"And this" said her friend, Isl
the old masters room"
The term didn't mean much to her
and she thought the old masters an
odd looking company until suddenly
away off in a corner. she came face
20 face with the marquis.
1t was not painted eyes that looked
1t her from above the heavy ruff; they
we're real eyes and they held a strange'
fascination for her. Yet she felt al
most ashamed to stare at him and she
wondered that he did not turn hta
head away from her plebeian gaze.
There were no more old masters for
her In this room after that; she had
met her master and he dominated her..
She went often to the Art institutet
from that time on and she never failed
to pay her respects to the marquis.
It was a romantic experience merely
to stand before him and look into
those curious and not altogether kind

length Of his nose, and all the trap

would not account for the strange
spell he cast over her
One day upon visiting her marquis
she found a young man with his easel
seated In front Of him, evidently bent
upon making a copy Of him. She re-
scented such desecration. but she
watched the worker with growing In

was sparse. He smiled at her

silent as another pair Of remarkable
eyes began to assume shape and ex-
preston on the painters canvas.
She came two or three times week
and in that corner of the masters
room they made quite gay company,
the marquis on the wall, his double
on the easel and the two ardent adj
mirers of these twin Doblemen.
1t is very easy to transfer your
admiration of art to the creator OF
that art. Therefore, by the time the
picture on the easel was finished she
had not only come to believe that
the copy was as fine as the original,
but to believe that another Peter
Paul Rubens had appeared upon the
horizon of art.
Now when their friends ask who is
the subject Of the picture that hangs
in prominent place in their small
living room the young painter always
replies:

me to my wife, the Marquis Spinola-"

the association, and paid in cash,
where the Others had to be con-
signed and the returns received in
two or three weeks. This compe-
tition was in other markets than
in Richfield, however, altogether or
mostly. 1t was true down at Je-
rome, where about 225 cars of po-
tatces have been shipped.
But for all that the association
has not paid much higher prices,
It is the one safe guard and insur-
anoe for the grower. When it gets
firmly established, so as to have
its market guaranteed, and its ex-
penses reduced to a minimum while
its efficiency is at maximum, it
should mean thousands Of dollars
to the growers every year. 1t is
indeed quite probable that it has
meant that much even this first
year; for there has been competi-
tion and activity among the buyers,
ana II - reasonable TO suppose JnaI
prices are considerably in excess of
what they would have been had
there been no organization.
l. IS believed that the average
; ed of potatoes ON the Richfield
tr--t can be doubled if not quad
rupled, by careful rotation with al
falfa. To increase the yield to this
amount, and to feed at least all the
small potatoes, if not the whole
crop, to hogs or sheep or cattle,
would be to make money so fast
that every good farm would need
at least one individual bank, and
some of them two or three, to care
for their money made on the farm.

Fish Screens For Big Canals
First Big Rotary Screen Being Placed In the ForyFoot
Canal of the Big Lost River Irrigation System.

Large quantities of trout are to b
found in all the big canals after the
water is shut off in the fall. Over
in the Lost River canal, it is pro-
posed that the state shall take what
fish can be caught, by seine or
otherwise, that could not be saved,
otherwise, and sell them for the
benefit of the fish and game fund
From the number of fine trout that
have been taken in the Dietrich
canal this fall it may be believed
that ther will b many thousands OF
pounds of trout to catch or to leave
to die when the water is shut of.
Practically all the potatoes on the
Richfield tract have been dug and
either sold or put away, 80 that
the crop is now in entire safety.

The guests climbed ladder, crawled
through window into room of inky
darkness, and stepped down upon a
board which gave way shudderingly be-

by ghost who directed them through
dark passage to the basement stairs.
The basement was decorated to give
both the Harvest and Hallowe' EN- ideas.
The stairs and pillars were banked with
shocks of corn and grain, and apples
were hung from the ceiling. Jack O.
