p ARL ANDERSON. painter who has
~ won several medals at exhibitions
here recently short time ago had a
model run away from him in Westport and
had to chase the model all over the country
with ropes and a posse before being able to
paint again. The model happened 10 be a
horse which apparently became aware that
no was going into art as a profession and
decided to develop temperament.
Anderson had the equine out in the field
near his studio home at westport and had
prevailed on him to pose as Pegasus for a
painting which was to be exhibited at one of
the big galleries, the horse being more in
terested in bag of oats than he was in the
fact that he was to be immortalized at a big
show. The artist strapped a pair of huge
white wings, each wing spreading about
fifteen feet, to the quadruped's shoulders and
impressed on him that he not to cross
his front legs in an ungentlemanly manner.
Then, while Anderson was splashing paint
on the canvas and the animal was lounging
quietly. suddenly the horse seemed to catch
the idea about Pegasus and almost literally
took wings
He charged out of the lot and sought TO
follow the swallows over the horizon. His
wings got jammed, but he ran like hoyden-
ish half ton bird. Anderson and week end

after Pegasus. yelling I'm a lusty fashion
and wishing their legs had been made of

IL art was to go on.
For miles they pursued him along the
roads--for more miles than artistic people
ever knew by actual measurement to exist
before. They met farmer and asked him
IL he'd met a horse with wings. Not the
least bit disconnected by the query or the
phenomenon. he answered.: "Yep-up yander
Gddap." So they chased Pegasus up yam
der met more farmers, who said yes they'd
seen horse with wings but hadn't thought
nothin' OF II, and secured the country till II
seemed as IL q flying horse had allghted on
every fence they passed. Such equines
seemed to be getting as numerous Cen

olution. Nobody seemed to have any definite
idea as they tore along just how they would
catch him when they caught him. though

A PROMINENT college athlete recently
"A disrupted one OF the important teams
of his university and sat down hard
on his own athletic career by insisting on
taking up theatrical career for one night
only when he was hardly in condition to
insist on the proper spelling OF his own
name. While enjoying brief holiday in
the city, away from the pursuit of at least
sixty per cent. worth of knowledge. he was
induced to become a super in a spectacular
Oriental production, as he had the physique
of a Rodin statue and the manager needed
some Nubian slaves for the show who were
built along the classic lines of piano movers.

A SPRING PRAYER.

Give US the serum for sleeping sickness;
Remove the hookworm from our foot
Make US forget the young trout's quickness.
Let our thoughts once more stay put
Take away the fields of flowers:
Stop the budding of the trees
Work us not these lazy hours
Quell the humming of the bees.
Give us back some winter weather.
Gnash the iceman's teeth with rage,
Then we can get our thoughts together;
Maybe can write this page.

what wonderful thing it would be for the
literature of the world, There would be SO
much less of it. OF course we should make
if plain that in this scheme we are
proposing it is not the intention to include
moratorium for newspaper owners.
At present they have formed the terrible
habit Of not paying for stuff unless it appears
in the paper. The idea is all wrong. There
should be inaugurated system of pay for
the desire to work. Then a newspaper man
could go into the office of an editor and say:
Il desire to write column of stuff
But we have no room for it," replies the
editor meekly.
Am | responsible for the size Of the
paper?" asks the newspaper man, tapping
impatiently upon the floor with his cane
Certainly not" hurriedly answers the
editor, but perhaps this is rotten column
YOU wish to write
mot at ALL" answers the imperous visitor.
Il desire to write column of good stuff
I'm that event" admits the editor, 'since
YOU really have the desire and we have not
room to print it. the fault is clearly ours, and
YOU are entitled to your pay

ky's stuff when we advance this theory. but

his theory of relativty has the ring

turning out, for instance. Compare the

Morley and T. P. A. Without why com
pare? This can result in no good for US.
We had better drop the subject. 1t reminds
us of the story of the field hand who told
the farmer he would have to "knooA off"
ploughing for the afternoon because ne had
to breach sermon at a protracted meeting.
What do they pay you for preaching.

'Ah gets er dollar or sermon" answered
the darkey.
