PAID FOR DECENT BURIAL
GhostIy Visitor Who Appeared to
Lucky Campers Proved to Be
Man of His Word.

A good ghost story comes from New
Brunswick. Two men were out camp
ing and shooting in wild country. One
night one Of them awoke and saw sit
ting over the glowing embers of the
dying fire a figure dressed in an eight
eenth century costume.
"Who are your" asked the sports
man, startled. The ghost babe him
search in the cliff above which the
camp lay, and told him that he would
find his (the speaker's) bones there.
He ordered him to bury them decently,
and take us his reward what he found
in the cave.
The figure then vanished. At dawn
the two comrades set to work. They
found the entrance to q cave which
had been almost blocked by a land
slide. Inside was a skeleton with a
massive gold ring on it's bony finger,
and around the skeleton lay various
books Of dates varying from 1859 to
1856. There was also q manuscript
giving the locality and description of a
treasure buried nearby, which the
lucky finders duly dug up and appro-
priated.

ART AS THE FRENCH SEE IT
In Their Eyes 1t Is the Direct Antithe
sis Of Artifice as Generally
Understood.

No n can understand this French
conception of art, as no one could I'M
derstand the similar Greek conception.
without distinguishing clearly be-
tween art and a%rtifice. The first
comment of the Anglo-Saxon on all
art is likely to be that it is artificial;
his comment upon the French life, it,
self an art, is that it partakes too
much of the quality Of a~rtifice. The
difficulty is that such a comment as
sumeS civilization as a natural thing,
said Prof. Erskine in a recent lee
ture to his soldier students in France.
The Frenchman knows better. When
our mothers sent us to childhood par
ties and cautioned us to behave. nat
urally they did not mean what they
said they meant that we should wear
u acquired arts Of courtesy as
though they were natural.
In that sense all civilization is not
natural, and French life, being the
most highly civilized, has most the
character Of art. But the French
themselves are even more severe than
we are in condemning a~rtifice, which
to them is not art, but its most per-
verse enemy. Art for them must be
frank and sincere, a quite open con-
troll Of means to reach an ineligible
ideal. There is nothing secret about
1t; its glory is the large part that
reason and calculation frankly play
in it-as any choice between good and
evil should be calculating and reason
able. Artifice, on the other hand, is
the putting on Of disguise, the as
suming Of methods which do not har-
monize with the genuine purpose; 1t
is too great emphasis upon means and
too slight valuation Of the noble end.
Art is, as it were, the contrast or other
pole to nature; it Is the condition
which Is reached when man has given
an Interpretation and a direction to
the chaos of crude experience. In be-
tween these extremes is artifice, par
taking of the quality Of both-half d.
rected, half meaningless.-New Yorl
Evening Post.

Doubts About Teachers.

She said she would take them on a

hay ride.

The teacher answered in the af-
firmative.
"Oh, won't you take u.s." he insisted.

with photographs of his old desk and
the machine on which he used to pound

The evening subsequent to his first
appearance at the Empress he went

tor greeted him affably and an i'm
promptu reception was held in the
editorial room.

city editor, I'D like to meet your

give me a bang-up write-up in this
mornings Star, and l want to thank
him. l remember the last criticism I
wrote. 1t was not so complimentary
to some members of the BILL"
The city editor filled his pipe, gave
out assignments to two reporters, an
swered three phone calls, borrowed a
match and said:
1T happens that the he you speak
of is a girl. The funny part Of it is
that she's a former actress, the same
as you're a former critic. She's not
here just now, but she'll be on hand
soon."
Presently the young lady arrived
and was introduced to the Empress
headliner. Gary had the shock Of
his life when he saw her, for she was
none other than Mildred Harrison, the
girl he had loved and had criticized
the u of his cutting loose from the
newspaper world.
"Im glad to meet you," she told
him, her eyes sparkling with more
than sincerity. You know, 1 was once
on the stage myself. / tried to make
an actress of myself, but it was use
less, and 1t remained for the dramat-
ic critic on this very paper in this very
town to show me the error of my ways.
l owe that critic untold gratitude, espe-
cially since he was kind enough to re
sign and leave open the only job I
could fill on a newspaper. My stage
experience was a fizzle, but it fitted me
to be a critic of Others"

He did, and they made their way
to a quiet little restaurant, where
they engaged in some serious CONVEX
sation over a light lunch.
They talked in subdued tones, but
they were desperately in earnest, as
anyone with half an eye could have
seen. Let us eavesdrop just a mo-
ment. We will drop into a chair at a
nearby table just as he remarks:

The report, which was gathered
from hundreds Of reliable sources by
Ernest L. Bogart, professor Of econo
mics in the University Of Illinois, in
estimating the Capitalized value Of
human Life. fixes the worth OF tha
individual at figures ranging from ST..

given as the economic worth of those
who lost their lives or were injured in

lowed FOR civilian losses. Although
many OF the latter were of children

for the civilian loss is believed to be
conservative.
