ically and near the center of popula-
ton. but would make no promises FUR

A practical joke perpetrated upon

ago at the annual convention of the
United Commercial Travellers at Sioux
City, resulted in the purchase of $4,000
worth OF Liberty bonds by the state
order Houck was one of the first
delegates 10 arrive. He told his friends
he had lost his wallet while en- route,
but had draft for SIS in his pocket
He wanted to cash the draft. 1t was
then that Houck's friends got busy
with their little joke. They visited all
business houses, warning merchants
against casring the draft. Houck
wanted a shave badly, but had no
funds. His friends took up collection
bu: before presenting it to him, Houck
got the money on his draft. 1t was
decided to call the collection the
Father Houck fund" At each meet

and the fund grew. 1t was never spent
because the members could not decide
what to invest it in. Friday the idea

SOUTHWEST LAND OF COLOR
Artists Have Been Quick to Appre.
ciate the Possibilities offered by
That Region.

The Southwest quarter Of the United
States, and especially New Mexico and
Arizona, is land of color. 1t is true
that much of this section is a desert
and lacking in the rich and chang
ing hues Of verdure which character
ICES most of the United States. But
the combination of brilliant sunlight
and clear air gives to the tints of the
region a combination of clarity, depth
and vividness which no other part of
America can equal.
American landscape artists, who are
among the most skilled in the world
have made discovery of this fact with
in the last ten years, and the result
is that masterpieces and regulations
are now among the regular products
of the Southwest. You can scarcely
attend an American salon or gallery
without seeing one or more specimens
of the work of this new school of art
lists. and almost invariably these pic
lures are distinguished by the skill of
their workmanship and the beauty of
their color effects Even the maya
zines now frequently enrich their
pages and covers with specimens of
this new school of American art.
There is one large colony of these
artists at the village of Taos, n. NJ,
which includes several men of estab-
lished reputation, a number of promis-
ing young artists and usually large
contingent of students and admirers.
The Indians of Taos Pueblo have
found a new and lucrative profession
as models. Another artist colony is
located at Santa Fe and there are nu-
merous single artists scattered about
the land of the sunset trail.
This new school of painters is eSpe-
cially interesting because its work is
of great historical and archaeological
value; these men are preserving for
posterity the native costumes, dwell
ings and ways of life of the Pueblos
and Navajos. who are about the only
American Indians that have not been
greatly changed by contact with the
white man.-Chicago Daily News.

often told her that was her especial

she could not blame him for this. Up

now why could he not see that she

whilst all Rome looked on and gloated
over the downfall of the great Eastern
queen. To return to our journey.
About halfway between Karyatein and
Palmyra we stopped for lunch at Kasr-
el-Her, an immense Roman tower or
barracks. On it the Arab has inscribed
many "wusms," or tribal marks; so
that it has become a kind of standard
by which the brands on camels strayed
or stolen might be identified.
Warning Off the Bedouins.
That night our camp was pitched at
Ein-el-Beda (the white fountain), right
in the middle of the desert. In the
stiffness of the night / was suddenly
startled by hearing man shouting at
the top of his voice. Possibly the
Bedouins were attacking us! Joseph,
our dragoman, soon treasured me. 1t
was the usual announcement warning
Bedouins who might be roaming about
not to come near the camp. ITO ev-
eryone who hears my voice, the people
who are camping here are not mer-
chants, or people carrying money, that
you should come near them, and who
ever comes near them it will be his
own fault; soldiers are guarding them,
and they have no other way of punish
ing you but with a bullet" Three
times in the night is this warning re-
peated, and they calculate that it can
be heard a mile off.

Castle Hill up to the Triple or Tri-

borders, one solitary column seems to

NOW, Hilda, it wouldn't interest
you in the least, SO why bother"
This was only another form of the
same kind of answer that Mrs. Park
invariably got from her husband when
she asked him anything about his bust
ness or any of the big municipal move
ments in which he often took part. She
felt disappointed and repussed. 1t
seemed that the feeling of sympathy
and companionship with which they
began life together had entirely van
ished, and become a thing of the past.
Hilda Park had logical brain, fine
mental development, and a reasoning
mind, and she and Richard had begun
life partnership as close companions.
He had forged ahead made a great
deal of money, and was recognized as
a man of affairs. Hilda wondered why
they had in some things drifted so far
apart. She could not doubt his loyalty
to her, and he was a good father to his
children. So one day she sat down to
'take account of Stock" balance up
the ledger, and try to find where the
break had begun. They had been mar
led twenty-one years. The eldest child,
son, was away at college, the daugh-
ter of seventeen was also away at
school, the boy of fifteen was at home
attending the high school, and the next
younger boy had died three years ago.
Thinking over her married life she
began to find the solution of the rid
die. When the children began to
come she had given them her whole
time and thought. She remembered
now they had completely absorbed her
life. Their fine, mental and physical
development were q beautiful reward
for her care and devotion. She had no
regrets for having been good mother.
Often Richard had let her know that
he felt and appreciated that. But now
the children, all but one, had flown
from the sheltering nest, and he soon
would go away. In little while they
might all be scattered, and absorbed
in their own careers. At any rate the
heart and time consuming business of
mothering was over. Her occupation
was gone What was there to fill the
breach?
When her husband had come to her
for counsel in the old days she had
been too tired or full of anxious care
