Art Is Universal Wealth

ART belongs TO all the world. The Alps,
"A the sea, the sky belong to every man
capable Of seeing their grandeur. Popular
resentment against the iconoclasm of Euro
pcan soldiers reveals universal interest in
the masterpieces Of architecture and paint
ing. The destruction Of any art gallery in
Europe would be loss TO the whole world
II Is this higher affinity which unites the
nations, and once disrupted by shell and
shrapnvI, is resented by all who love the
beautiful
When the French troops entered Dresden,
Napoleon gave orders that the Madonna di
san Sisto, by Raphael, should not be
touched 1t was a gracious tribute TO the
masterpiece and recognition OF the truth
that it was all mems property. Pictures and
cathedrals and statues are Biographies and
histories, and once destroyed can never be
replaced
1t is hoped that Antwerp, where Rubens
sleeps and in whose cathedral three of his
masterpieces hang, may be spared the fright
full destruction that follows in the wake of
war.

The Deal Coppered

not prohibit and that more liquor is consumed

PASSED BY THE CENSOR

ONCE upon a time there was an editor
" who dabbled deeply in politics. So it
was no wonder that when the occasion came
and opportunity knocked at the sanctum he
consented, with considerable grace, to run
for Congress. He set to work TO prepare his
literary and verbal ammunition, much to
the amusement of his co-workers. One
night when good people were asleep and only
newspaper men prowled about, he dictated
a speech to his stenographer, and this is
what the rest of the staff heard:
And now, my friends, must cease. have
taken enough of your time. In parentheses,
voice in the gallery: No, go on; you're good.
Close parentheses. / will comma however
comma Say"
And ever after he was known in Journal
istic circles as "Go on, you're good.'

EoRTY- EIGHT French kings and queen

EORTY- EIGHT French kings and queens
l. were crowned in the cathedral at Rheims,
the first being Louis IN, better known as
st. Louis. But the most interesting of the
coronations was that of Charles VII, the
weakling. Henry VI of England had already
been crowned at Paris, when Joan of Arc
drove the English invaders back and rode
into Rheims
The conservation of her monarch, Charles,
took place a few days later. The affair was
great military pageant, led by the Maid
mounted on a charger Chroniclers state
that the Cavalcade rode up the asles of the
cathedral. The Maid stood by the side Of
Charles, holding her victorious standard.
After the ceremony was completed Joan
dropped on her knees and embracing those
of the monarch, exclaimed:
Gentle King, now the will of God is done
who caused you to come to Rheims to re-
ceive your conservation and thereby show
that you are the true King to whom the
kingdom should belong"

OUT beyond Darby stands an d-fash-
" ioned frame house. Passers-by will hear
the voices of babes in chorus. If they mount
the porch and peep through the windows
they will see a strange sight. Within they
will see a handsome, white haired woman a
baby in each arm. Nearby, her red haired
daughter an infant on each knee. There are
babes playing the floor and babes in
carriages.
The white-haired woman, of Irish Spanish
descent, has four children of her own, rang
ing from IL to 20, but she must have the wall
of the tiny babe to make her happy. So she
has taken in the foundlings and those whose
mothers would hide their folly, and has
cared for them her own sacrificing hours
of sleep and hours of waking to her love for
children.
And her practical husband, who is a
machnist by trade, is just fond of the
little ones as is his wife.
EEW know that the third Napoleon, who
i lost his throne A years ago in that other
Franco-German war, looked utterly unlike a
Frenchman. He was short with an enor-
mOusly long upper body, diminutive legs; the
large head was crowned with light yellow
hair and his eyes were exceptionally pale
blue. The writer saw him a number of times
during the Erlperor's captivity in WiheIms-
hoehe whittier he taken after the fall
Of Sedan. The Emperor mingled freely with
the townspeope and at Christmas, 1870 dis
trbuted gifts to all the women and children
resident at the hotel opposite the castle
where he lived. Three years later when a
German newspaperman-a friend of a life
tme-vsited the ex-ruler at Chiselhurst, ten
days before his death, Napoleon said:
Il may not live to see it--Luu (his SOM
may not live, but within 80 years France
will again be empire and Bonaparte will
sit on the throne"
There are still six years in which to test
the gift of prophecy of the man who rose
from poverty in London to a throne-n four
short years.
TT TAKES much to shock the average poll
L tician or political reporter, but it can be
done, and was, when a number Of reporters
and political lights marched into the old Fifth
Avenue Hotel in New York, during the first
Harrison Cleveland campaign. They went
there to meet James G. Blaine, who had
donned his lighting clothes to defeat Cleve-
land for reelection. Blaine wore a closely
trimmed full beard and mustache and when
the reporters dropped into his suite they were
told that he would see them in a minute.
After bit, ruddy, healthy man appeared at
the door and entered. Nobody paid any at
tention 10 him. He sat down and began to
read a paper. The minutes passed until
half an hour had gone by. Then some one
demanded TO know where the dickens Blaine
was. The ruddy one arose.
I'm Blaine" he said.
You're a darued liar" exclaimed an un-
regenerate person present and it took James
G., Blaine five minutes TO convince the crowd
that he was really himself-and all because
he had been shaved clean an hour before.
