STATION AGENT WAS RIGHT
Negro Messenger at Least Learned
Something of More or Less I'M
portance to Senator.

A southern senator, whose home is
in the country some two miles from
the railway, received a telegram which
Indicated the need for his immediate
presence in nearby city The train
schedule had been recently changed
and the telephone was not working
so negro was sent TO find out when
II train would pass the station, 1t
was three hours later when the negro
shambled into the yard.
"Where have you been, you black
rascal? Does it take three hours TO
ask when train will be due?' the
Tuning senator demanded.
Nov. Marse Henry" the negro
protested, "yo' know hit don take no
three hours ter ak when er train
gwine pass by. But, Marse Henry,
All done hear yo' say yo'se'f dat dat

Song In the Bathroom.

Professor w. H. Bragg Of the Royal
institution. London, England, has
ennnciated a new theory as to the
bathroom. "Why do so many people
sing in the bathroom?" asked the pro-
lessor, and juvenile audience broke
out into laughter, remembering the
impulse that seizes them to break out
into song when they are having bath.
The professor explained that the note
Is struck for them by the running wa
ter. He also pointed out that, while
the voice sounds resonantly In the
bathroom, it is not half so fine or in
spring when song is continued in
the dressing room. The same author
ity explained that the bubbles of
steam formed at the bottom of boil
ing kettle, nearest to the fame, tried
to get to the top, and coming into con-
tact with water of lower tempera-
ture fell back again with sounds like
tiny hammer strokes on a hard sub
stance.

Certiorari is law term, and is sell
dom come upon outside of legal pro-
ceedings. The word is derived from
the Latin certioro, to be certified. In
law 1t means a writ from superior
to an inferior court directing a GER
tilted record of its proceedings In
designated case to be sent up for re-
view. Where right of appeal from the
decision of the inferior court exists,
certiorari proceedings are unneces-
sary, but where such right does not
exist this is the procedure adopted TO
have the proceedings of the Inferior
court reviewed by a superior court
having common law jurisdiction over
the inferior court Where good cause
is shown, the superior court issues a
writ of certiorari TO the inferior court
ordering that the record of the case
in question be sent up in order that 1t
may be reviewed and justice done to
all concerned.

YOUTH he WAS LOOKING FOR

Old Banker.

Sometimes the course of true love
does upset all accepted theories by
running smoothly. and when the voy-
ayers on that uncertain stream are
most fearful of rocks ahead. At least
1t was like this In the case Of the only
daughter of New York banker, of
whom most of the young lady's suitors
were In deadly terror. Ordinarily the
proverbial Sorehead bear would have
been mild and inadequate compari-
son to this old gentleman.
The father had on a number of oc-
casions observed his daughter in in
innate discourse with one of the young
men from his own bank and, watching
his opportunity, cornered them to-
gether
"Well, young man." the banker
Numbered threateningly, what are
your intentions, hey? Just what do
you mean, hanging about my daughter,
heyf Answer me, sir"
The young man spoke up frankly.
ITO tell the truth, sir, l haven't any
Intentions, and don't mean anything.
OF course, Hazel and / love each
other, but my salary is too small to
get married on, and l can't ask her
to wait until she's an old woman-as
she'd probably have to. No, | don't
see any hope for me at ALL"
"Thats all right, my boy" the
banker told him, his face suddenly
beaming with kindness, go ahead
and marry her. Why, it's the plain
duty of chap who shows that much
sense to get married right away

Studio. In speaking of some of Mrs. Luke's pictures recently exhibited in notable Pasadena gallery, MT. Anderson comments:
 Certainly the rainbow has been broken up to good effect in the figure study, probably portrait, that Mrs Luke calls The Philippine Lantern It is scattered through the background and fingers
 round the edges of the girls black gown, and of course is found in her face. The result is great vitality as well as harmony. The little nude entitled The OpaP glows with broken color, and the small canvas, Still Life,'' an ar engagement of fruits, vases and bottles, against a piece of red-flowered drapery, is like mosaic made with jewels"
 It is source of qualification to her friends that Mrs Lukes work has ap- peared not only in exhibitions of the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, but in the Chicago institute, the Panama Pacific Exposition, New York Water Color Club, the Corcoran Art Gallery in Washington and in other galleries.
 While the Magic City is coming into it's own as the great industrial center of the south there are those who are interested in promoting along with it's commercial growth the aesthetic culture that the mu- sician and the poet and the artist bring.

her innate longing for the light and color
 in the boundless prairies of her childhood
 home of the west Mrs. Luke has come to the viewpoint of professional artist.
 For the sole joy of the working, with no
 serious intent she studied for years
 under many masters of many minds, until she found her way to Cincinnati, and Frank Duveneck, that one who put so much of the spirit of the old masters into his work that foreign artists were prone
 to inquire, Why come to Europe when yo uhave Frank Dubeneck in American
 Perhaps twas while she was studying
 with him that Mrs. Luke discovered the
 mission of her art. But like every other
 American wishing its fulfilment over
 night instead of through long months
 of toll, she sought the big commercial
 art school of big city. Picture the ab-
 ject misery of one with poignant feeling
 for color, for freedom, for the expression of life itself making mathematical calcu- lations for the exact lettering of miladi's bandboxeSi
 Perhaps it was in tears that life was such sad misfit that Mrs. Luke left Chi- cago. I don't know. But I do know that afterward she discovered the Pennsyl- vania Academy of Fine Arts and that the genius of her work was discovered by the great artists of the day when she was awarded foreign scholarship prize that she is holding until happier days dawn in Europe. After years of study in classes of Philip l.. Hale, whose classic art is widely recognized; with Anil Car sen, the poet-painter; with Daniel Garber and Hugh Breckenridge. the great land- scape painters; with Joseph Pearson, the animal painter, and with Edwin Blash- field, whose decorations in the dome of the capitol at Washington have been the admiration of thousands, Mrs. Luke has attained what the schools of art in America have to offer, and has. in the opinion of her tutors, gained for her work the standards of professionalism.
 '"Though Mrs. Luke still considers her self student-and what sincere artist does not?--she has, I believe, shown her works in various exhibitions and gal leries," writes Antony Anderson, that gentleman of discriminating taste who is lrt critic for the Los Angeles Times, and a correspondent for the International i

You found it yesterday, perhaps, In the blue sky, or in the crimson heart of a new blown rose-beauty and truth. in form and color. And I found it-the longing for it, the interpretation of 1t, in the light and color. the joy and pas- sion and pain, of the pictures in an ar lists studio.
 For Kathryn Logan Luke is an artist. a professional one. and l am just one of the many who are glad that she lives in Birmingham, and that since her re- turn from the west she has her studio here with it's doors wide open to frame a bit of the sunlight and mist that blend sometimes with the blue-green haze of old Red mountain. Wide open, too. in invitation to her friends, for Mrs. Luke is at home to them every afternoon between the hours of and 6 o'clock.
 Twas yesterday I found the attrac- tive workshop, and while the high high priestes brewed the savory bever- age, and friends chatted over the tea cups, I found myself wondering how this sanctum sanctorium could have ever been 8 garage where automobile tires and a chauffeur's tools had been supplanted by palette and brush, and by those vibrant, sparkling pictures where artists ideals were finding expression.
 In looking over her collection, one readily discovers that Mrs. Luke is of the modern school who believe in pure color. Color and light-radiant, free, outdoor light. I fthese are primitive appeals, they are also fundamental and more universal than the intellectual ap- peal of form carved from the purity and whiteness of marble. Color and lighti How we dive and have our very being in it! And how lavishly nature supplies it "in every common buch that is aflame with God.''

I found it in the open, freedom reflected from one little can vas in Flaming Maple" where shim- nering leaves seem aquiver at the call of the autumn breeze; in the sparkle and brilliancy of another landscape composition called Late September" and in the cool harmony of Summer Afternoon"
 In very special corner all to them selves, is the artists collection of eX- quisite miniatures, some of which have been exhibited in Birmingham and all over the country, for that matter.
 Among Mrs. Luke's recent portraits in little is one of the charming Mrs. Russell Hunt of Birmingham, and one of the late Mrs. Chambers of St. Louis. Equally as absorbing to the visitor arc Mrs. Luke's portraits and figures, in the variety of which is manifested her versatility in the mastery of diff ferent techniques. Instead of the tight, photographic "stay where you are put" impression, there is a sense of freedom both virile and vibrant added to the fine decision of her portraits. all of which are enhanced by the alluring charm of color. For beyond mere form. Mrs. Luke seeks the personality, or is 1t the soul of which Browning spoke when
