HEINz'S GREAT COLLECTION
Ivory Carvings Owned by Pittsburgher
Are Declared to Be Almost
Priceless.

During many years II. J. Heinz Of
Pittsburgh has gathered together one
of the finest collections Of ivory carv-
ings in America. There are probably
dozen notable collections of this
sort in the country. and among them
the Heinz group of 1900 pieces holds
distinguished rank, says writer In
Scribner's.
AS rich and fascinating field for a
discriminating collector. ivory cary
ings are perhaps without q peer. Exc
cuted in a material that has always
been costly. too rare. as a rule, to be
subjected TO poor or mediocre work
manship, they may well be considered
as typical of the artistic development
of the time in which they were pro-
duced. They represent the art. more
over, not Of one people, Of one period,
but, 1t is scarcely an exaggeration to
say, of all peoples and all periods.
From prehistoric ages down through
the civilizations of Egypt and Assyria
and of classic Greece and Rome have
come priceless examples Of sculptured
worries. The dark ages Of Europe, so
meager In artistic treasures, have be-
queathed US an upbroken chain of
ivory carvings. Much of the most In
teresting OF such work must be accred-
tied to the centuries of the Gothic re-
vival. the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth. The Renaissance and the
centuries succeeding have yielded a
wealth of carved worries of great rich
ness and beauty. From India. China
and Japan come worries of deep his
toric interest and especially In the
work of Japan, of genuine artistic
achievement.
Periods Of exceptional turbulence.
such as the fall of Constantinople. the
reformation In England and the French
revolution. have caused the destruction
OF Incompatible treasures. That SO
much has survived seems cause for
wonder. The explanation lies in the
very nature of the carvings.

CHURCHES NOT HARD TO FILL
the Congregations Are of Neces-
sity Rather Small.

| There are many churches that at.
tract attention by their size and grand
eur. There are few that are remark
able by reason Of their smallness and
simplicity. One Of these is at Lulling-
ton, Sussex, England.
1t is a primitive and quaint stone
building with roof Of red tiles and a
tiny weatherboarded turret at its west
end. This miniature church is only 10
feet square.
Its pulpit Is q pew with paDeled
sides and door and the furniture is of
the plainest. Five narrow, diamond
paned windows give light to the inte-
rior. When the church is full 80 per-
sons are gathered together.
Only little larger is the meeting
house at Crawshawbooth, q village
near Burnley. 1t is known as the
Friends meeting house and is covered
with ivy and surrounded by we'll
cared-for burial ground. Inside may
be seen half q dozen oak benches that
could, II necessary, accommodate go
persons. The attendance is rarely more
than six.
Somewhat smaller than this chapel
Is one that has been called the shrine
of Quakerism. 1t Is in the hamlet Of
Jordans, IN Buckinghamshire. Thlther
In June of each year come Quakers
from all parts, for here lie the remains
of William Penn. If this were not
enough to make the place interesting,
1t has the further attraction of be-
Ing the neighborhood in which Milton
lived after writing Paradise Lost"
cottage in the vicinity affording him a
resting place.

said I had had no opportunity Il
hear any of the campaign speeches
but that 1 had followed them in the
newspapers.
"Well, did you gather from what
you read that the American people
want to see peace in Europe or dc
they want the war to go on so they
can continue to make fortunes out
of it?"
Again I replied tina. was certain

The election was drawing close; it
was necessary to notify Won Berns-
torff of Potsdam's preference; the kali
ser believed that perhaps he held the
shape of the German-American vote
and he didn't know how to cast 1t.
Hence the eagerness with which they
Intercepted me upon my return from
the front"
The interview with the reichskanzler
and the fact that 1t was instlgated by
the kaiser indicated to me that Amer
lea occupied a most important place
In the kaiser's plans. When, a few
months later, we declared war against |
Germany, however, all the kaiser's
planning and plotting of years col |
apsed. The edifice he had been so
confidently erecting came crashing to
he ground because it was built upon
false foundation. How elementary

the reichskanzler persisted. 'They
are becoming very rich. They will
soon have all the gold in the world.
Putting an end to the war would to a
great extent end American opportuni-
ties for making money on this enor-

'SThat may be all true" replied,

Saturday Evening Entertainment.

If Andrew Thoreson gives commands
to his company in fighting the Huns
with as much GOODNESS and composure
as he displayed in standing before an
audience of about two thousand at the
pavement dance Saturday night and
giving a short talk on the way the
American soldier is treated lover
there" he will certainly win laurels
for himself and his country. While he
is not permitted to go into detail re-
garding the happenings in France, he
reviewed in plain, understanding way
what the various societies are doing
for the comfort of the boys, spoke of
their 'mess," general treatment, and
had nothing but words of praise. He
had with him helmet and gas mask
and illustrated the use of each. Not
only the Thoreson family, but everyone
in the large gathering was interested
in his talk and proud of his presence.
The program, consisting of dancing,
singing and short talk by Prof. Holt,
was greatly enjoyed by all present,
after which an hour and half of dane
ing on the pavement gave all an oppor-
tunity to pass pleasant evening.

Celebrates His S4th Birthday.

James Mccarthy of the town of Dun
kirk has just passed his Saith birthday
and still lays claim to good health and
a general interest in world affairs, es-
pecially in the war on the French front
where two of his grandsons are fight

This remarkable old man is living on
the old homestead where he came in
1857 and which has grown from small
farm to one of large proportions, parts
of which are now managed by five of
his sons. Two other sons are attor-
neys in Nebraska and the eighth is a
druggist in Madison, ]. L. Mccarthy.
One daughter, Mrs. William Nichols, is
living at the homestead with her faith

the advanced age of 80 years.
Mr. Mccarthy was fortunate in hav-
ing all of his children, save the two in
the west, with him on August Is, his
birthday anniversary, when general
celebration of the event was enjoyed
by the family. The great changes
which have come in the country all
about are of remarkable interest to
this man who has seen Wisconsin grow
almost from it's birth as state and
who rejoices in the progress that it has
made in every line

effected and the employees went back

leg, or rather it tore out small piece
just above the ankle. It made crease
just about an inch deep, but both are
healing up fine now. Both are machine
gun wounds SO they are fairly clean.
I was hit on the 18th, early in the
morning. We had ride in one of the
u. S. hospital taxis. They are fitted
up fine alright
| hope you are all we'll and keep so.
Take good care of yourself and give
my regards to anyone who may inquire.
I could tell you some interesting things
if / dared, but will let it go at that and
be satisfied. There was something do
ing about the time they stopped me,
plenty of music-you know the kind of
music mean. All kinds of Boche pris

Well, I will close for this time, with
lots of love to all, I remain, as ever,

The first intimation Edgerton rela-

correspondent writing of base hospitals

colbert Teisburg of Edgerton, Wis,
had just been brought in, and, as usual,
after the ambulance trip and the ia
tigue, was tired and pale. But he,
nevertheless, added his testimony to
the wonderful quality of the French
foreign legion soldiers, who fought on
the right of his division. Our boys
wanted no better praise than to be
complimented by those fellows. They
sure can fightp" 1t seems probable
that his injuries were not of such ma
ture as to be included among the ''seri-
ously injured" class which are reported
through the war department channels.
