ly Priced Quality.

Carlyle was much laughed at for
saying that genius was an infinite Gu
pacity for taking pains. That does
not sound like genius; one imagines
genius as raveling its hair, whatever
ravelfng may be, and producing the inn
mortal Word to the accompaniment of
epileptic fits; absinthe also goes with
genius very well. But in reality genius,
suspect, Is tanner affair and arises
easily enough in men like Rembrandt,
who painted pictures because he liked
doing it and because the sitters paid
him for their portraits. Much more
satisfactorily to Carlyle it arises in
men like Flaubert, who revealed much
of his attitude in one phrase of his cor
respondence. 'Today l have worked
sixteen hours and have ut last finished
my page" Therein lies the difference
between Flaubert and De Maupassant {;
1t may be, too, that Boileau was right
In advising the poet hundred times
to replace his work upon the bench,
endlessly polish it and polish it again,
but many instances IF almost sponta-
neous creation confronts us. It is
enough to quote that in six years, be-
tween 1902 and 1908, Shakespeare ap-

among them Julius Caesar" "Ham-

such as oppression, war, revolution or
social decay.
That is an interesting catalogue, and,
If history repeats itself, the future for
genius, as evidenced particularly in
art, would be black, for there have been
few periods where comfort, ease and
security bred genius. 1t is as if the
plant needed something to push
against. Everyday life becomes more
secure, justice more certain, property
more assured; humanity grows fat, and
the grease of it's comfort collects round
its heart. 1t is difficult to imagine ge-

Mr.. Bowser fastened down the lad

other man replaced him, and they kept
coming and halting until thirty people
were gathered in front of the house.
They took Mr.. Bowser for a house

remarks as:
"Why, the man must be fool!"
"What donkey lives here, any

"Is it going to be barber shop

his own ideas to carry out. If he
hasn't said anything to you he will
probably tell you all about it this eve
ming. He made us promise to have
everything over here before four
o'clock and everything is here. He
can get up at four o'clock in the morn
ing and go right ut work.
If Mrs. Bowser had not had sweet
temper she would have spent the rest
of the afternoon in kicking over
chairs and discharging the cook. Mr..
BOwser hadn't said n word about re-
painting the house. He had preserved
the strictest secrecy about the enter
prise. The house did not need re-
painting and the idea of having him
daubing around for IL week or two was
unbearable. She made no outright
demonstrations, however, but that eve
ming would bring the talk.
Mr.. Bowser came home Mt the usual
time and took look into the side
yard before entering the house. He
realized that Mrs. Bowser had seen
the outfit and must suspect his evil
design, but he entered the house with
a flourish and did n lot of talking in
the next five minutes. In fact, he did
all the talking during the dinner and
great deal more than was neces-
sary. He was putting the explana-
ton off as long as possible, but it had
to come when they reached the fam
lily room.
'Now, them" said Mrs. Bowser, as
she Strengthened up and set her jaw,
'>why did you have those men bring
all the things this afternoon?"
"Why, my DEAR" said Mr.. Bowser,
in an oily voice, II am going to do
Il little painting. Didn't speak about
it n week or so ago? This is glorious
weather. for outside painting and I
am anxious to be at the work"

Mrs. Bowser.

"About fifteen years." was the reply.

on the block are. There is dread

know what villa is, don't you?
Well, there is not villa within half

"Are you going to get bunch of

all to pieces?" was demanded.

idiot notice that we can't put up with
such a thing on this street. It will re-
duce the price of real estate 25 per

Mr.. Bowser went up the ladder and
began on the third chimney, but his
heart was not in his work. After the
four stones, thrown by unseen hands,
had landed on the roof near him, he
carried his material down to the
ground and entered the house, and,
without a word to Mrs. Bowser, who
sat weeping, he changed into his busi-
ness suit and left the house. An hour
later three painters were at work wip-
ing the first paint off the chimneys and
repainting them the original color.
Two boys took away the sign hanging
on the fence and nailed it over stable
door, and the incident was closed-all
but the damage to Mr.. Bowser's feel
ings. He had set out to beautify the
street. and the people wouldn't have
It. He wanted villa, but the public
wouldn't stand for 1t. He wanted to
do some art work that should live after
him, and he had been abused as 1f he
had stolen whole flock Of sheep.

During breakfast Mrs. Bowser was
very quiet and Mr.. Bowser was in
too much of hurry to do any talk

began carrying his material to the roof
and in II little while he was ready to
begin his hard work. The cap, or top

sidewalk. His art work was just boss {;
no landscape painter could have
equaled it. The sign on the fence was
simply magnificent. The half dozen
people who passed and repassed Mr..
Bowscr didn't utter word of praise.
In fact, some of them sniggered with

by the great painter, and he went back
to his work highly elated. The stripes
on the opposite chimney were reversed.
Instead of beginning with dark blue he
began with red. Just as he had fin

Bee-keeping is very easy, and any
