portraIt Painter Of Note.

The first portrait painter Of the
United States to win general fame
was Thomas Sully, who was born 1872
years ago One Of the first celebrated
American historical paintings, Wash
ington Crossing the Delaware" was
the product of his genius. Sully es-
tablished himself in Richmond as a
portrait painter in 1903, but soon
moved to New York, and in 1910 to
Philadelphia, which city was after
ward his home. In addition to Wash
ington Crossing the Delaware" his
famous historical paintings include
THE Capture Of Major Andre" and
Miranda" As a portrait painter his
most notable subjects were Thomas
Jefferson, Lafayette, James Madison.
John Marshall, Fanny Kemble and
Queen Victoria. He visited England
to paint the girl queen in her corona
ton robes. Sully lived to an advanced
age, dying In Philadelphia in 1872.

TIP FOR USERS OF PROFANITY.
Swearing Is Nothing But Habit and
It Is Very Easily Cured.

Don't swear, or you'll catch no
fish," was a remark made by veneer
able inhabitant to much younger
man, who was emphasizing his talk
by the use of some rather strong eX-
pletives. No one was engaged In fish
ing at the time, nor was a piscatorial
excursion being thought Of. The sug'
gestion was made in the back room
of a cigar store where three or four
men were talking over current events.
and the utterance made by the aged
citizen was intended. as he afterwards
said, to show his adherence of the
nonsensical use of "cuss words.
Then he felt called upon to deliver a
little homily to his companions. all OF
whom like himself, were well known
residents of Washington.
MEN incur habits" he said. that
are really useless, and in my opinion
swearing is one of the worst of them.
One can see why. in moments of pas
sion or great excitement. person may
indulge in swearing. but that some
men, and | know, several of them.
should break out with a series of
oaths in ordinary everyday converse
tion strikes me as beyond reason.
Il presume we have all met men
who regard themselves. and are SO
considered. gentlemen. who rarely ex-
press sentiment without swearing.
More than that, they seem rather
proud of their proficiency in this direc-
ton. tell you that swearing is q
habit that little determination will
easily overcome"
The sermon, coming from the lips
| of a man whose hair and long beard
were as white as snow, had a good ef
feet The cigar merchant was so i'm
| pressed that he declared he would
| hang up sign in his back room which
| should read: Gentlemen are re
| quested not to swear on these prem
ises" Whether they allowed them
selves the privilege Of 'cussing" else
where, he said, was no affair of his
| Washington Post.

PUTTING Trouble to Use.

All trouble can be put to good use
in refining and strengthening our
characters If we go about it the right
way. By looking for the sunshine
which is back of every dark cloud we
help to ennoble and uplift not only
ourselves but those about us.
Work is the panacea for all ills, and
by setting the mind resolutely at work
we can make all our burdens much
lighter. Mere physical work will not
always accomplish this, for often the
mind has time to dwell on its mis-
fortunes while the body is busiest.
But keeping the mind constantly filled
with other thoughts will leave no
room for the troublous, grievous
things.

had arrived in time to hear my scan
dalous suggestion.
1T is the last resort Of desperate
man, was my hasty explanation. Il

touch of acerbity.
"Oh, Mr. Van Zandt, you jealous
lover" chirruped Mrs. Jimmie. Your
ardor is the most refreshing thing con-
ceivable in this blase twentieth cen
fury We're SO interested in you pair
of turtle doves. But it cant endure.
You're only six-weeks-old husband.
I'm going to suspend my enthusiasm
till you've been married three years.
| murmured with pointed sarcasm
that Mrs. Van Zandt and l were de-
lighted to be source of amusement
to our friends.
Married but six short weeks, and yet
we had lived in that brief period an
eternity of joy. How perfectly shock
ing to twentieth century ideas.

"The Poor Mans Cow"

A little book called The Care for
the Goat" has recently attracted some
attention in England. The writer
urges that great advantage would be
found by small proprietors. labOrers
and rural residents in keeping goats,
"the poor mans COW" Goats milk,
he says, often possesses twice the
richness of cows milk. is very valu-
able for children, and may be prac-
tically guaranteed as free from the
bacillus of tuberculosis. Goats are
cheap and cheaply kept, since they
readily find food. and they demand lit
