pose, produced that proverb.
Houses are Fascinating.
After the churches-perhaps even
before the churches-her renaissance
hotels are the greatest charm of
Toulouse. And by "hotels" I mean
houses, not hostels. Certainly they
are most fascinating, both as speci-
mems of architecture of their time,
and as affording an idea Of the mag
nificence in which the merchant
princes of that day lived. Almost all
styles Of renaissance are to be seen,
from that of the Hotel Bernuy-transi-
tional from Gothic to the lightest and
most graceful designs of the new man.
ner-to the Hotel d'Asseat, when the
architects had already lost some Of
the first pure enthusiasm with which
they viewed italian art in the days
of Francis I, and onward into the less
refined, though rich, and luXuriant
style of the Maison de Pierre, built in
the days of Louis XIII.
The Hotel de Viedx Raisin, I think,
gave me the greatest pleasure, so per-
fectly felicitous 1t is, as seen from the
courtyard. The little loggia, daintily
decorated, the windows all variously
adorned, and showing upon every sill,
plaster, and headstone, new device
of scroll, garland, or festoon. Here
two maidens, bearing proudly and
gladly their light Intel border; here
full-cheeked, soft-winged cherubs who
have f1uttered down, to rest awhile in
these pleasant places. Beside them
are baskets Of fruit, hanging punches
Of grapes and wreaths of flowers
frail and exquisite little fancies,
carved like love-lyrics that nymphs of
the fountain write with milk-white
fingers upon the walls of their water
grottoes. Elsewhere 1eaf-words are
written in leaves so naturelike as al
most to tremble in the breeze, and to
keep the courtyard fresh and cool be-
meath the torrid southern sun. Every
where you will find in Toulouse, set
down in stone among her palaces, such
aery gossamer trif1es as Joachim du
Bellay and Remy de Belleau were fash
ioning, during those same years, in
song.
Sitting here can look out upon the
Place Lafayette, where-because it is
raining heavily-the cabmen sit,
hunched upon the boxes of their blue
cabs with bright red wheels. With
heads sunk down into their shoulders,
like the anthropOphagi of Othello's
story. these Jehus of Toulouse sleep
the idle hours away. One of them has
spread a great faded blue umbrella
so far over himself and over his box
that only his feet are visible Those
feet recall Tweedledum-or Tweedle-
dee, was it--sheltering from the
storm. But there will be no need for
long shelter here. Before an hour has
passed the sun will be warm again
upon the shining pave.

BATTER GETS NO ADVANTAGE
Elimination of Splitter, Says
Captain kiIlefer.

Ball players who figured their bat

Wade KilIefer, manager of the Los
Angeles club. Killefer says the player
who doped out 20-point advance on
his batting average because of the alb
sence of the saliva slant is figuring
the same way Professor Porta did
when he thought the world would come
to an end. Batting in the American
association did not loom up as strong
last year as in former seasons" Kill
lefer said. without the wet spot on
the ball the game is better fielded
affair." Without errors there are less
men to face the pitcher and there will
be no more pitchers duels."

the Henley regatta next July for an
other trial at the Grand Challenge
cup. This was made known by an
oarsman who has returned from Bos-

already made arrangements for the
crew and the entry will be certified
and forwarded to the Henley stewards
at the proper time. If the Unions per-

surprising if Harvard university made

JOCKEY HANDLES AND
RIDES HIS OWN MACS
incidentally He Is Oldest Rider at
New Orleans Track.
Usual Worry as to Who Will Pilot
Race Horses Is Eliminated With
Owner TuIIet, Who Performs
That Task Himself.

An unusual incident occurred at the
jefferson Park track at New Orleans
the other day when Ell. Tullet rode
Sunday Lad to victory. The fact that
the horse won was no feature. 1t is
the jocky around which the interest
centers.
"Owner III. Tullet, Trainer 81. Tul-
let, Jockey II. Tullet."
These are the ways that ''Ikey" Tul-
let can be addressed. He is the own
err, trainer and rider. Incidentally he
is the oldest jockey there. He is over
the 40-year mark, and he expects to
ride for long time to come, he says.
All the bills that "Ikey" has to pay
in connection with his stable are for
feed and incidentals, and he does not
have to worry as to whether the "help"
will show up or not to perform their
daily tasks.
The usual worry of owners as to
who will ride their horses is eliminat-
ed with him, as he pilots them HIM
self. He saves the Jockeys fees there
by, and to his credit it must be said
that he rides as good race as many
of the younger generation of pigskin
artists. s. .
If "Ikey's" stable is not success 1t
is nobody's fault but his own, and he
has no alibis to offer. He seldom &C
cepts outside mounts, as he rides for
himself five or six times week and
he considers that a pretty good weeks
work for a rider Of his age. Among
his possessions now is Fritz, which
raced with much success at the fair
grounds in his early two-year-old form
last winter.

MONEY MADE In ODD IDEAS
Practically No Limit to Inventions That
Have Been Granted Patents, in

In enumerating some of the strange

so that every breeze turns it with its
head to the wind.
Among other inventions is "pedal
calorificator," with which one can blow
upon ones toes to warm them. 1t is
a tube, worn under the clothes, with
branch leading to each foot and
mouthpiece at the top. Then there
are q polisher for false teeth-merely
the end of corncob stuck on a stick;
n sanitary pocket for carrying chew
ing gum, a wooden bit for preventing
snoring, a noiseless alarm clock that
yanks the sleeper's arm instead of
ringing, another that starts a mechan-
ism that throws Him out of bed, and
machine for counting eggs as they are
laid.
