Master Of Memory.

It was Whistler's habit to memorize
an effect in nature, and Mr.. T. r.
Way, in his recent Memories" gives
an example of his cleverness at 1t.
l shall never forget a lesson he gave
me one evening. We had left the
studio when it was quite dusk and
were walking along the road by the
gardens Of the Chelsea hospital, when
he pointed to a group of buildings in
the distance, an old public house at
the corner Of the road, with windows
and shops showing golden lights
through the gathering mists Of twi.
light.
Look" he said.
AS he did not seem to have anything
to sketch or make notes on, took out
notebook and offered it to him.
mo. no; be quiet!" he said; and
after q long pause he turned and
walked back few yards; then, with
his back to the scene, he said:
"Now, see II I have learned it." and
then he gave description of the
scene. perfect in every detail of ar.
rangement and color, as he might have
repeated q poem he had learned by
heart.
Then we went on, and soon there
came another picture that appealed to
me even more than the former. tried
to call his attention to 1t, but he would
not look at It.

In a few days I was at the studio
again, and there on the easel was the
picture-Youth's Companion.

face dragged In places and skipped in
others. Slow and steady does the best
work.
We have no heavy drags. A few
months experience showed us they
were not what we wanted. We use
light drags, pulled over the road at
about the regulation angle of As de.
grees. This pulls q small amount Of
earth over to the center of the high.
way and firms the whole wheel path.
We have 60-foot highway. Natur.
ally we do not try to drag all of that
surface. What we try to maintain ia
roadway Of about twenty feet in
width. We begin in the center and try
to first get good wheel track width
In fair shape. AS soon as this is done
the drags are Tapped a little farther
over into the undragged roadway at
the sides.
We drag the roads as soon as pos.
sible after every rain. The best work
Is done after rain and just before
the road surface begins to harden al
1t dries. One side Of the wheel path ID
taken going in one direction, and the
other side is smoothed up on the re-
turn trip. Half a dozen drags on a
road after spring rain will work
wonders. Keep this up few weeks
and you are able to build the center
Of the road up to a height of from
ten to twelve inches above the level Of
the edges. This gives a good drain.
age and makes the future dragging
easier and much more effective.
Road dragging is something that
must be kept up continually. Eternal
dragging is the price we have to pay
for dirt roads that are above the av.
erage. If we paid for the work put on
them 1t would probably cost Us all Of
SO and maybe $12 mile for the
year. Some years the roads will re.
quire much more work than in others
because Of the weather conditions
The amount of trafhc and the nature
Of the soil on which the road is built
are other factors that affect the
amount Of dragging necessary.
There are some spots in every road
that should be graded and filled be.
fore you can expect to do very much
with the drag. A drag will not help
these bad spots much. Get them fixed
up once, though, and you won't have
much trouble in keeping them in shape
with the drag.

Chauvlnism.

A chauvinist is one who is absurdly
jealous of his country's honor or
pulled up with an exaggerated sense
Of national glory. The words "chau-
whist" and "chauvinism" are taken
from the name Of Nicolas Chauvin, q
soldier Of Napoleon, who was 80 no.
torious for his exaggerated and de.
monstrative devotion to the imperial
cause that he was caricatured on the
stage. and his name came to stand for
all people who work mischief by their
unreasoning, irascible and vainglor'
ious patriotism.

CITY BLEMIsH REMOVED.

An otherwise beautiful little Wis
consjn CITY has been marred by the
presence of rubbish and garbage
heap on the bank of the river which
winds it's way through the .city. For
seventeen years debris has accumulat-
ed until the pile became one Of the
''sights of the town"
One day stranger was brought to
the city, a nurse engaged to make an
inspection of the health and physical
condition of the school children of the
community. She was charmed by the
general appearance and neatness OF
the streets, alleys and lawns: by the
lack of novels and neglected houses.
But there in the middle of the scene
stood the city dump, it's ugliness more
noticeable because of the beauty by
which it was surrounded. 1t was like
a deformity in an otherwise beautiful
body, like scar on an otherwise
lovely face.
Engaged TO look for physical defects
in the children, this public servant
could not ignore the physical defect in
the city itself. AS she proceeded with
the work of examining, counselling
and advising children and parents con-
corning ''the little troubles before they
grow big" the thought of this rubbish
heap was constantly sin the back of
her mind" And suddenly the way was
made clear Naturally it is part of
her work to make friends of the child
rem. AS time went on and she realized
how many faithful followers her daily
work in the schools had brought her,
she felt sure that she could recruit an
army of young patriots for service
whenever she wished.
She appreciated at its full value, the
tremendous possibilities of boy
power and she knew how to organize
it. When called upon, the children
responded promptly to the suggestion
of annihilating that heap and trans
IOrmlnR The tyc-SOlO AhCo o oS~NoJ
spot. She got the girls into it by Or
ganizing them into commissary de-
partment which provided a sumptuous
picnic luncheon. One day sufficed for
the accomplishment of the task and it
was happy day, much more a holiday
lark than day of hard labor, yet 1T
accomplished a great benefit to the
town. Incidentally, it taught good
lesson in the possibilities of commune
ty organization. city is more than
an aggregation of individuals, more
than a collection of detached houses
and homes. The health, morals and
culture of community, while DEEPEN
dent upon individual standards and
taste, reach their best and highest
growth only when supported and
fostered by community spirit.

PICK ADVANCE EARS OF CORN

To be sure of having seed corn next
spring, since the backward seasons
have made a mature corn harvest
somewhat doubtful, it will be well for
Wisconsin farmers to save any seed
left over from the last planting, and to
pick the first ears that ripen in their
crops this fall.
AS soon as the corn is we'll denied it
may be taken, and if it is then proper
ly cured it will terminate we'll next
spring. An easy method of curing is
to string the ears and hang them in
the kitchen or attic until they are dry.
In the opinion of A. L. Stone, of
the Agronomy department Of the Col
lege of Agriculture, it is advisable at
first to pick most of the ripest ears.
Even if they are not of the best type
and conformation, it will be better to
have these ears than TO buy unknown
seed from outside the state. If the
frost holds off until more satisfactory
selection car be mads, the first ears
picked can be used for feed.

When sunset lights the Border Pass

o, lift thy face as 10 a shrine,
And yield unto the Spirits sway.

They all are clothed in richest splendor.
The glory Of sweet autumn's day.

Are on the azure canvas spread;
And all the fleecv winged fairies
Have scattered silver mists o'erhead.
We drink the rapture OF the ages,
And all we ever dreamed Of bliss,
From autumn's sparkling, sacred
chalice,
While sunset gives the Pass its kiss.
As all the glory Of Iife's cycle.
Within one little hour is pressed,
We view the work Of heavenly masters
Who paint the glowing, throbbing west
With sunset splendor slowly fading.

Upon the twilights gaUzy curtain
