Harry +. Maule of Doubleday, Page
6 Co., writing Of Peter Clark Macfar-
lanes says:
"The first time ever say him was at
one of the dinners of the Adventures
Club. Albert Payson Terhune, a perfect
dreadnought Of man, doomed at the head
of the speakers table as POSTMASTER.
Spying Maefarlane, Terhune called upon
him, warning us that though Macfarlane
had once filed q pulpit, he was Tin Ter
hune's best Adventures Club manner),
as much two listed he guy as any OF
you little runts here whose greatest ad-
venture has been trip to Brooklyn by
moonlight"
The man who got up was Of medium
height and stOcky build, with a leOnine
head and iron gray hair, piercing gray
eye and the voice, presence and magnet
ism of the born orator and leader.
"The last time saw him." says Mr..
Mcule, "was the day he sailed for Eu-
rope, his greatest work yet before him.
On The day he set forth on the U-boat
infested Atlantic he allowed himself one
last deliveranee upon the Hun. Billy

Roosevelt rolled into one had nothing on

himself twenty years ago. Then he said.
when l am 40 shall begin to write fic-
ton and 1 shall write a novel; He is
less muckraker than preacher and less
q preacher than. born story teller"
Macfarlane's life is record of unsatis-
faction, which is not the same thing as
dissatisfaction. The ministry left him
unsatisfed, so did the stage; voice
doesn't reach enough people. Writing
was much better, it meant bigger audi
cnce; fiction means the biggest audience

qualities of bis fine and powerful draw

Raemaekers's cartoons also have q high
literary and historic quality. / do not
mean by this that they tell or suggest
stories, which are used generally as IN
attraction for very commonplace pictures,
but that they have that quality of endur-
ing literature which awakens the deepest
feelings and points to the loftiest ideals,
which are as enduring as the history Of
the race in its striving TO reach the heights
of achievement. Hogarth was one of the

The mule business of Monday seem.
ed to take quite change in the late
afternoon and despite the fact that ii
looked at one time as if there was
practically no trading going on, thirty
one car loads of mules changed hands
and we're shipped out from Columbia
Monday night and Tuesday morning.
There are decidedly divers and diff
ferent opinions advanced as to the
amount of sales made in dollars and
cents, but one of the leading mule
firms is authority for the statement
that the average price paid for mules
Monday was around 1925.
According to this statement there
were about 500 mules shipped out of
Columbia and driven through to near
by towns, at price of $1S0,000. Many
sales were made of which no record
could be made, from the fact they did
not go through the local stock yards
or any of the locM mule barns. The
bank clearings of Monday, which will
be given in The Daily Herald of We'd
nesday, will throw more light upon the
subject.
Moore & Son were possibly the larg.
est sellers as also among the largest
buyers. They sold Ill head and
bought so to rs. The highest price
reported paid for pair of mules was
$500 for a handsome pair Of black

sold as high as 5000 while several in
