Story Of the Famous French Artists

writing of the artists masterpiece.
"The Horse Fair" says:
Never, surely, had there been so
many sketches of horses; they covered
the walls, the tables, the chairs, the
easels and even the floor, for the world
just then held nothing for Rosa but
horses. She painted away at them I'M
til she could have done it with her
eyes shut. Every horse in the great
picture had been sketched countless
times, and still Rosa felt that she must
try just one more pose.
"All things, however, must come to
an end, even sketches, and so in the
course Of time the Horse Fair was
finished. The world has pronounced 1t
Rosa Bonheur's masterpiece, for al
though she was to paint many splendid
pictures in the years still to come, none
would ever quite equal this.
"'My Parthenon frieze,' she called
it in jest, but that is just what it is

Encircling the buildings Of Thasa,
Tibet, is the sacred road, merely to
walk along which absolves the mortal
from all earthly sins, and many pill

happiness in their future life.
The most interesting portion Of the
sacred road is where it runs through
some sharp limestone rocks, carved
deeply with figures of Buddha painted
i'll many cOlOrS.
From the rocks prayer flags are sus-
pended on lines running to an island
in the river. These prayers are uni
versal in Tibet, and so long as they are
moving they are recording prayers for
the benefit Of those who put them up.
All devotees, men and women, walk

Single prayers printed on thin cloth
are strung vertically on poles or
stretched across open spaces to t1utter

prayers vibrati toward the omnipo-

FEEDING THE WORLD.

A report by the Department of Com
merce on a single months exports of
American foodstuffs shows what
America is doing to feed the world
during the tremendous foreign crisis.
During December last our exports of
wheat amounted to IL, 619, 92T bushels,
worth $15,219,221; of flour to 1885,
$50 barrels, worth $9,195, 552; of
bacon to SIS, 405, 666 pounds, worth ST.
686,976; of lard to 46,134,3O9 pounds,
worth $4,863,2O7; of ham, to 21,731,-
SIT pounds, worth $3,255,133; of fresh
beef, to 27,296,688 pounds, worth
$3,294,111; of picked pork, to 49,
5O6,794 pounds, worth $1,479,923; of
corn to 2,591,258 pounds, worth ST.,
832,346.
The figures for a month are pretty
large. Take them for the calendar
year ending December 81 last, and
you fairly gasp. For wheat the years
totals are 2O5, 333,797 bushels which
brought 1921, 815,O44; for bacon, $780,,
831, 464 pounds which netted $50, 305,-
517; for lard 45O,o98,528 pounds
which sold for 48,1O7,O72; for fresh
beef, 262,003,348 pounds which sold
for $33,51O,989; flour, 15,380,698 bar

But all this is beside the question.
The young Prince of Graustark was
enjoying American hospitality, and no
matter what he owed to Russia, Amer
lea owed to him it's most punctillious
consideration.
The main point is that the prince was
now rusticating within what you might
call a stones throw of the capacious
and 1ordly country residence of Mr..
BHthers; moreover, he was an uncom-
monty attractive chap, with a laugh
that was so charged with heartiness
that it didn't seem possible that he
could have a drop OF royal blood in his
vigorous young body. And the perfect

called their royal guest Bobby and
allowed hia to fetch and carry for
their women folk quite as if he were

the city to spend the week end.
The remark with which Mr.. Blithers
introduces this chapter was in response
to an oft repeated declaration made by
his wife. Mrs. Blithers merely had
stated-but over and over again-that

NO COUPONS, NO PREMIUMS
''But My, What a Cfgarette!'' They
Say of Those Delightful Camels.

In the comparatively brief time
Camel Cigarettes have been on the
market they have gained remarkable
popularity; today, they are smoked in
every nook and corner of the nation.
They have filled in need that no
other cigarette ever did fit.
Camels are a new idea in cigarettes.
They are an expert blend of choice
Turkish and choice Domestic tobac-
cos-and the result is the cleverest
cigarette that has ever been put on
the market.
You so quickly recognize the quail
ty of the tobaccos and the expert
blending in these cigarettes that you
do not look for or expect coupons or
bring to your mind the now famous
saying: mo coupons, no premiums,
but my, what a cigarette!'
3 First of all. Camels will not bite
the tongue or parch the throat, no
matter how many you smoke. And
Came1s leave no unpleasant cigaretty
after-taste. They are as mild as they
are delightful in flavor, yet they have
all that desirable body which as
sures satisfaction and cigarette con-
tentment.
Smokers find in Came1s a cigarette
that meets their best wishes. Tt is
so cool and fragrant and inviting; so
full of real cigarette enjoyment that
they are welcomed more and more
every day.
And it is a noteworthy fact that
Camels "stand up against your taste:
that is, they never. tire it, no matter
how literally you smoke them. They
always t'have that delicate flavor"
that makes them SO acceptable any
hour of the day; SO enticingly good
and refreshing, aIways!

ambition to capture prince of the
royal blood for their daughter Maud.
She had prefaced this opinion, how
ever, with the exceedingly irritating
msinuation that Mr.. Blithers was not
IN his right mind when he proposed in
wiling the prince to spend a few weeks
at Blitherwood, provided the young
man could cut short his visit in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. King, who, he
had asseverated, were in no position TO
entertain royalty as royalty was in the
habit of being entertained.
Long experience had taught Mr..
B1ithers to read the lip and eye lam
guage with some degree of certainty,
so by watching his wife's indignant
face closely he was able to tell when
she was succumbing to reason. He
was a burIy. domineering person who
reasoned for every one within range Of
his voice, and it was only when his
wife became coldly sarcastic that he
closed his ears and doomed his opizl-
ions into her very teeth, SO to say, joy

which it were futile for her to attempt
