Up the Information Wanted.

He Got His Fee, Too, Before He Gave
Up the Information Wanted.
Winslow Homer was a great painter
who had the unusual good fortune to
have his merit appreciated early in
life. But no one ever presumed less
on wide reputation. Affectation was
a weakness from which his sense Of
humor saved him.
In his biography by Mr.. w. n.
Downs is printed the story Of New
York gentleman of wealth and artistic
tastes who made the journey to Scar
boro, Me-. where Homer had his studio,
to make the artists acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the studio
door locked. The owner was nowhere
to be seen. He wandered about the
cliffs for awhile until he met a man
In a rough old suit of clothes, rubber
boots and battered hat. who carried
a fishpole. He accosted the fisherman
thus:
Say, my man, if you can tell me
where 1 can find winslow Homer 1
have a quarter for you
where's your quarterT' said the
fisherman.
He handed it over and was astound-
ed to hear the qutZZical Yankee fisher
man say, II am Winslow Homer"
The sequel of this unusual introduc-
ton was that Homer took his new &C
quaintance back to the studio, enter
tanned him and before he left sold him
a picture.

J.F. THOMPSON SAYS NOT
TO DIG UP DANDElIONS

Principal John Thompson of the 10
cal high school in an address before
his botany class recommended that
digging up dandelions be abolished.
The root of the dandelion is such that
if punctured it will cause another
plant to develop. he says. Experiments
tried by Prof. Thompson have proved
that as many as five sprouts have been
propagated from cutting off one plant
from its root. The process of Kidding
the community of dandelions by dig
ging is said to be an endless job.

The Welcome Sound That chsersd
Lord 6aHour of surIeish.
It would be hard to say which Of
EngIand's two houses of legislature
takes the cake" for committing howl
ers, and still more difficult to pick out
the member who has taken pride of
place in this respect during recent
years. But perhaps for simple effec-
tiveness Lord Balfour OF Burleigh
would be hard to beat when he said,
'The noble lord shakes his head. and I
am glad to hear itv'
Another noble lord during debate
on Indian affairs exclaimed: Talk Of
this asia loan to India! 1t Is a flea
bite in the ocean, Nevertheless it
stands TO reason that the lower house
is more prolific in quantity, If not in
quality, in its stock of howlers than
the upper, seeing that it has SO many
more opportunities.
Captain Craig, the fiery fisherman,
cooked the following oratorical stew:
''The naked sword is drawn for the
fight, and never again will the black
smoke of the Nationalists' tar barrels
drift on the home rule wind to darken
the hearts of Englishmen." If any.
thing could kill home rule one would
think that would.
Sir W. Hart Dyke was criticising the
standing order forbidding peers from
speaking during general elections
Some one had quoted Lord Halsbury
as doing so, and Sir William solemnly
said, 81 must admit that the honor
able gentleman has gone to the top Of
the tree and caught a very large fish.

BUILDING TEST CASE.
Police Court to Decide Commission
ers' Right TO Fine.

y test of the Commissioners power TO
impose fines for violation of the building
regulations will come up in the District
Police Court to-day, when a case against
Francis II. Javins. charged with altering
a shed without having first obtained the
necessary permit, is given a further hear
ing.
Robert 1. Miller and George c. Cert
man, attorneys for the defendant. raised
the point at the first hearing that the
Commissioners have not the right TO i'm
pose fines for violations OF the regula-
lions. Their arguments will center upon
the wording of the statute giving the
local authorities power Ito enforce" the
regulation. If the words Ito enforce"
can be construed to mean that the Com
missIoners can impose fines. the regIIla-
tions as they stand will be ruled valid.
II. on the other hand, the court holds
that the power Ito enforce" does not i'm
ply the right to fine for violation. or
that the power to fine must be expressly
given, and not given by implication to
the Commissioners by Congress. the
regulations. in force ever since 1870. will
be practically void.
