GREAT THINKERS LIKED PIE
Their Fondness for Common
place Dessert.

Commenting on the inconsistencies
Of longevity, a writer recently cited
the fact that, though a lifelong devo-
tee to apple pie, Emerson lived to be
over seventy-eight years old. That,
however, is not the important fact.
Many persons have lived to aver q
greater age. The distinctive feature
OF Emerson's ~pie-eating career Is the
wholesome, cheerful and thought-com-
polling system of philosophy which
1t brought forth.
To demonstrate that apple pie had
much to do with Em~ersonian optimism
is no task at all.
Thomas Carlyle, whose disciple and
friend Emerson was, never ate pie,
and although as great a lover of man
kind as was the sage Of Concord, Car
lyle was a victim all his life of mel
ancholia and dyspepsia and hard
words. BY intellectual descent and
association Carlyle was a German,
his thought being fed by Goethe, Schil-
der and others Of that great group. But
he adhered to the Scottish diet, which
does not harmonic with Teutonic
philosophy, and so he became phys
ically and mentally dyspeptic. Pie
might have saved him had he taken 1t
in time.
Further to emphasize the point that

reticule Of chiffon Is decorated In tho
same way and suspended by small
cords from a spray placed near the
top of the skirt. A crushed girdle OF
wide ribbon about the waist Is fas-
tened at the back, the ends finished
with narrow rufles. Silk stockings
and plain satin slippers clothe the feet
with the proper elegance and dainti-
ness for the dance.
Any Of the many lovely light colors
may be chosen for a frock of this
kind. The embroidery is to be made
in a dark contrasting color or might
be outlined in gold or silver thread.
Another exquisite dance frock Is
made Of net over silver cloth. A full
~three-quarter length skirt is finished
at the bottom with a narrow hem into
which a wire Is run. A fiounce Is set
on under this hem, falling to the
ankles. The net above the wire is
spangled or embroidered with beads
in a scattered, dainty pattern. This
gown has also a baby waist with
double rutfies on the sleeves and a wide
girdle of silver cloth. A short ruff
fe Of net appears below the girdle at
the sides and back.

HOW DOGS GOT THEIR NAMES
Substantial Reasons In All Cases for
Dividing the Canine Species Into
Breeds Well Known.

With dog shows everywhere to the
left of us and to the right, at national
shows and the side shows, at outdoor
fetes, many women will be glad to
learn the origin of several popular
breeds Of the canine family.
1t is probable that few lovers of the
most popular dog of today-the bull
dog-know whence he obtained his
name. He is called a bull" for the
reason that formerly his services were
employed in the driving of cattle. The
dog was trained to meet the rushes of
the bull by the simple expedient Of
selling it's charge by the most SEN
sitive part, the nose.
The spaniel, formerly one Of the
most popular species of dogs. gets its
name from Spain, from which u
try the first breeds were sent to Eng.
land, where for a long time they were
called Spanish dogs"
Some have thought that the fox ter
rier derived his name from the fox.
by reason of his pointed foxlike muz-
zle, but as a matter of fact the dog
was not so named on account Of any
fancied resemblance to Reynard. On
the contrary the fox terrier is 30
named because In the days when he
was much larger in size and OF great
or strength than now, he was en-
ployed by English sportsmen to draw
and kill the fox. being sent down int
Reynard's burrow for that purpose.

Simple Method for TESTING Eoos.

Still another egg tester has been
patented. The most recent Of the
many devices intended to show wheth-
er an egg is good or not is the work
Of Frederick w. Dobbel and consists
chiefly of a specially constructed me-
tallic case to go W an ordinary
.ncandescent lamp.
The case is 10 made that tho light
from the lamp is focused directly on .
small opening into which the egg to
be tested Is inserted. The light rays
show clearly through the egg, disclos-
ing its condition.

pie, or apple pie, at any rate, is the
optimistic factor Of philosophy. it is
necessary to cite the fact that Metz
sche, who, in his unspoiled years, was
a devout and cheerful disciple Of EN-
erson, became the materialistic "su-
perman" Of Nietzsche's later pieless
years.
All budding philosophers who read

FRANK ESCAPES GALLONS
Gov. slaton commutes Sentence Of At
lantlan Convicted Of Murder Of
Mary Phagan to Life Term.

Atlanta.-Leo Frank, the Atlanta
pencil factory superintendent, convict.
ed Of the murder of Mary Phagan and
sentenced to be hanged, is now in the
Georgia state prison at Milledgeville,
serving a life sentence for the crime.
Gov. Slaton on June 20 granted Frank
executive clemency and committed the
sentence to life Imprisonment. The
order Of Communication was issued Sc
cretly just before midnight, and Frank
was spirited out of the rear door Of the
Jail and carried to Milledgeville over
the railroad to Macon and thence by
automobile to the prison.
Frank did not know until a few min
utes before he started on the trip to
Milledgeville that he was to leave his
CELL His heavy, distinctive eye glasses
were removed, which in itself was
somewhat of disguise. The officers,
however, placed SLOUGH hat on him
and the few persons at the station at
1901 am, when the train left, did not
know that the passenger was Frank.
He was recognized when the train
reached Griffin and at Macon he was
reported to be very nervous, needing
the support of Sheriff Mangum when
he was transferred from the coach to
an automobile.
At the prison Frank changed his de-
meanor, assuming the outward calm
that had marked his two years fight
for life. He again protested his limo
cence, expressed gratitude to Gov. Sla-
ton and said that he had intuitively be-
lieved he would at least get commu-
tation OF sentence. He was given No
965, donned a suit denoting the lowest
grade prisoner, and apparently had be-
gun the routine of prison life.
Solicitor-General Dorsey, who prose
cuted Frank, issued a statement in
which he declared that the action Of
Gov. Slaton multiplying the judgments
of the state and federal courts and
overriding the recommendation of the
state board of pardons was unprece-
dented." He added that no defendant
in his recollection had had the benefit
of more appeals to both state and fed
eral courts.
II cannot find in the record of the
Frank case, or in the governors
lengthy statement of attempted justifi-
cation, one reason why the governor
should interfere with the judgments of
the courts in this case," said the so
licitor.
