lngly time enough has gone by and things enough have oeen proved or disproved t0 give certainty to the word that Woodrow Wilson has found Edward NJ. House an advisory asset.
 There hardly can be much of real mystery about man who twice since this great War began las been sent abroad as a special commissioner for the president of the United States. Col onel House has been twice in Berlin, five times in Paris. and frequently in other Of the great European capitals. Some day it may be that Woodrow Wilson will write what may be called an autobiographical review of his ad- mnistration. If he does it Is entirely likely that the part taken by Colonel House in the shaping of some of the policies of the president may be given the page place which many men be lieve that it deserves.
 No Mystery There.
 While living in New York Colonel House resides in an apartment not very far uptown. It is homelike place where good books are found aud where good friends may come. IL is a genial place and no curtain of mystery hangs over the door of any one of its rooms. Men go there and are well come. They go and they talk. Man learns as much from man as he learns from books and more perhaps if we believe the ancient saying about the proper study of mankind.
 asked Colonel House what his rec reations are. He said, Friends. read ing and walking" His library shelves show the kind of books that he has read, still is reading and will continue to read, for those in the book cases are made the companions day by day of the others as they come from the hands of writers worth while.
 No man probably can had politics, legislation, economies and history con- stantly without getting some of Dr. Dry-as-Dust's characteristics. So 1t is that Colonel House does not read the four formidables constantly. He turns to fiction and here one finds something of possibly more than passing human interest.
 George Frisbie Hoar of Massachus- etts was one of the scholars in politics. It was said of him that he had read everything from Aristophanes. Frogs"

Best to Wind Watch in Morning.

Winding is the food of watch. It is its life-blood, and upon it every movement of the works depends. The time-keeping value of watch depends less upon it's cost than upon the care that is taken of it by it's owner. If wound in the morning instead of at night it will keep much better time.

MATTHEW MURlS
FAMOUS PAINTER
DEAD IN LONDON
Eccentric Genius Lived Life of
Hermit.

London. Sept. GA genius who
might have amassed a fortune died in
comparative poverty and obscurity in
London recently because he was too
proud to give the world work which
did not attain to his ideals. Few peo-
pie, even among those in the art
world, remembered that Matthew Ma
ris. the once famous Dutch painter,
was still living, and fewer knew that
London was his home, until the an
nouncement of his death at the age
OF 70 appeared in d morning paper re-
Gently.
Matthew, the last of the family of
three gifted brothers, was one Of the
gensuses who approach to madness:
HIS smallest picture was worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 in the auction rooms,
but one rarely saw the light. He
painted only when he felt moved to
paint. and he fetl moved very seldom.
OF late years he absolutely refused to
sell his work Some OF those who
know him say that he was q great
tdealist, but others with a more COM
monplace point of view declare that
he was merely lazy.
MAris lived almost the life OF a her.
u,4t and was supported by the generos-
tty OF A few friends. His studio was
BARRED 3to&A6yerybody, sealed against
the WORLD aSerehgiously as the hall of
q YafU senior society. What the old
painter did there no one knows, but
It Is believed that he painted pictures
the least of which the greatest CALLER
les Of the world would covet-and
then burned them because they did
not realize his visions.
Art dealers who approached him
with checks and fiattery were driven
sway. He told them his pictures were
mot worth selling. and he did not pro-
pose to impose on the public, which
Followed the fashion like sheep, and
would buy anything with a name.
FOR the same reason he would not
sign a picture. holding that every
work OF art should stand on its own
merits regardless Of the authors
name.
The work he ala was not turned
out quickly. He once remarked that
no had started portrait Of two bab-
les years ago. that the babies were
now grandparents and he was still
working on the picture. His chief
yexation was the income tax collector,
who would not believe that an artist
who was one of the highest sellers
WAS without money.
