Stevenson. offered a prize of Ell to the
best history Of Moses from any of us
Stevenson cousins. My history was, of
course. dictated, and from that day
forth I would always be debating
whenever I could command a pen. The
history of Moses was c%opiously illus
trated by the author in a very free
style. In these pictures, each Israel

mouth, cheering the desert miles. r

was from a purely initiative and lit
erary impulse. I never drew from ma
ture nor even from a copy, but broid-
cred away at my fancies in a spirit the
reverse OF the artistic. 1t is told OF me
that / came once to my mother with
these words: Mamma, I have drawed
p mans body; shall I draw his soul
low" and this shows how early / was
at 1t and how I merely used It as a
language with ne thought of exact
form or plastic beauty. Not 80 much
a ~quickness to draw, as an intensity
OF looking, should mark the youth Of
the true painter.

The Little Man "Got His.'
from Punch

The long line OF red earth twisted
away until 1t was lost on the left and
nae dipped down behind a hillock on the
right. Fiat, open country stretched
ahead, grass lands and fields cf stubble,
lifeless and deserted.
There was NO sign Of the enemy to
be seen and not ever a puff of smoke to
suggest his whereabouts. But the air
was full Of the booming Of heavy guns
and the rising, eerie shrek Of shrapnel.
Behind he red line OF earth lay the
British each man with his rifle cuddled
lovingly to his shoulder. a useless
weapon that yet conveyed a sense Of
comfort. The shells were bursting with
hideous acuracy-sharp flashes of white
light a loud report, and hen a MUIR
derous rain of shrapnel.
ACrikey!" said a little man in filthy
ra1n-sodden khaki, as a handful of earth
rose up and hit him on the shoulder;
that was a narsty shave for your
uncle"
The big man beside him grunted and
shifted half ar inch Of dead cigaret
from one corner of his mouth to the

he with a grin.
man staggered, stumbled to his knee,
coughed with a rush of blood, and tum-
bled owe dead.
"Dahn and aht," said the big man
gruffly. "Gawd! If we could only get
at 'em!"
The wall Of a distant shell rose to a
Shrek, and the explosion was instan-
taneous. The little man suddenly
went limp, and his rifle rolled down the
bank of the trench.
His friend looked at him with I'M
speakable anguish.
Got tin the perishing neck this
time, Bill" gasped the little man. Bill
leaned over and propped his pals head
on his shoulder. A large dark stain was
slowly sa%turating the wounded mans
tunic, and he lay very still.
"Bill'-very faintly--then with sur
prise-'Blimey! 'e's blubbin'! Poor
old Bill
The big nan was shaking with stran-
gled sobs. For some moments he held
his friend close, and it was the dying
man who spoke first.
Are we dahn 'earted?" he asked. The
whisper went along the line and swelled
into a oar.
The big mar checked back his sobs.

"NO-O-O!" roared the line in unison.
The little man lay back with a CON
tented sigh. NO." he repeated, and
closed his eyes foever.

Eliaht of a Golf Ball.

Have you ever seen a test of the
flight of Il golf ball thrown by hand?
If not, it may be surprising to know
that it is almost impossible to throw
a golf ball to carry 100 yards. and Yet
this flight is very easy with Il mashic,
writes y. w. Tillinghast in the PhiladeI-
phia Record. Some years ago, during
the visit of the OXford-Cambridge col
lege team at Nassau Il trial Of throw
ing golf balls was made. John Lowe,
captain of the visiting team, wagered
that zone could throw a ball acrosS
the pond which was in front of the
then seventeeth green. The hole il
self was one demanding a simple
mashie or short iron, and yet no one
succeeded in throwing the ball cross
the water, the carry of which was
considerably less than 100 yards. 1t
would have been quite possible to have
thrown a stone across, but with the
golf ball 1t was different, for it persist
ed in ducking in its flight. 1t is pos
sible that a professional baseball play
er might succeed in covering 100 yards
with the flight Of q thrown golf ball.
but it is an experiment which would
be well worth watching.

The Rock That Guards tho Mouth of
the Mediterranean.
Gibraltar was captured by the Brit
ish July "a, 1904, and from that day
has not been out of British hands.
At first little was thought Of the i'm
p%ortance OF this stronghold. For the
succeeding nine years the Spaniards
made repeated attempts to recapture
1t. On one occasion they nearly sue
ceeded.
a French and Spanish force having
been collected on the iSthmus that
joins the rock to the mainland, a
goatherd offered to show them a path
up the Sloping sides of the rock, which
he had reason to believe was unknown
to the British. This offer was ac-
copied.
Five hundred troops assembled quiet
ly II night and took shelter in a hol-
low called by the Spaniards 'the little
chair" At daybreak next morning
they ascended higher, took the signal
station, killed the guard and anxious
ly looked for expected re-enforcements.
The re-enforcements failed to arrive.
The armed garrison sailed out and
drove the inva6ers down the rock.
The little chair was filled up and
the place made stronger than ever
All subsequent attempts to capture
the rock have failed. One of them
was a siege by Spain and France, be-
ginning in 1879 and not terminating
until September, 1883.
The rock of Gibraltar takes on q
more important bearing than ever in
these days of hig guns because Of its
commanding position at the mouth of
the Mediterranean. where that sea is

A Great Shot Putter.

Larry Whitney, the intercollegiate
champion at putting the shot, has sign
ed n contract to coach the Penn State
football team and therefore became Il
professional automatically.
Whitney is perhaps the most re-
markable shot putter of his weight
ever developed in this country. De-
spite the fact that he weighed just a
few pounds more than half of what
Ralph Rose and Pat Mcdonald did at
the Olympic games at Stockholm three
years ago, Larry "stuck" with the
giants in the weight tossing event and
finished a good third. About one year
later Whitney surprised the athletic
world by trimming Mcdonald at the
national championships at Chicago.

CARE FOR GRAVES OF FALLEN.
French Children Honor German as Well
as Their Own Heroes.

as lnelr oWn heroes.
When, after the battle Of the Marine,
the fields and forests were filled with
dead heroes, thousands of willing
hands, young and old, dug graves on
which girls and women planted little
wooden crosses with the names of the
fallen soldiers in ink or pencil.
AS there was danger that agricultural
labor would destroy these graves and
the weather efface the inscriptions, the
municipal and village authorities cv-
erywhere have issued instructions that
all these graves are to be left intact
and suitable measures taken to pre-
serve the inscriptions.
School children regularly visit the
graves and cover them with flowers.
and, be it said in honor Of themselves
and their teachers, the German graves
have as good care as the French.
