PARIS ETCHER FOUND ARTIST
Marketed Prints Which Brought Fame
to Soldier Of the American Ex-
peditionary Force.

Alonzo G. Webb, the American sol
der who has won sudden fame in
Paris art circles by his distinctive
etchings, was content to pass his prints
out among his friends. One day, how
ever, while he was having his etchings
printed by the old-fashioned process
called "taille douce," the printer said: :
why don't you sell these etchings?'
They're not good enough" replied
Webb.
YOU'RE crazy" said the printer;
you wouldn't mind selling them,
would you? Don't you need the
money!"
"Yes, God knows need it, but
never thought Of selling these things"
rejoined Webb.
The old man gave Webb note to
dealer in the Rue de Rivoli who took
ION depot" one each of five prints.
The very next day Webb received
letter at his home at Bellevue, ask
Ing for three more to replace those the
dealer had sold the urst day.
"That must have been happy MORN
ing at Bellevue" I remarked, some
what stirred at this turning point in
the life story.
"Not especially" Webb replied. I'm
partly Scotch and don't often get ex-
cited. take good luck just as take
bad. I rarely even tell about good
luck"
But don't you deprive yourself of
delightful thrill?"
"The pleasure is no less in the ag-
gregate. I take it in a quieter form;

action" Fl. Grasty IN tho

KNEW ALL ABOUT "LA GRIPPE"
People Of the Eighteenth Century
Suffered From Its Attacks as Do
Those Of Today.

Amid all our sufferings from the
grip" Russian Influenza" "blitz
katarrh," Spanish Influenza" "flu,"
ct i'd omne genus, the name and writ
ings of Sebastian Mercier are too
much forgotten. In his picturesque
"Tableau de Paris is to be found the
following passage on the grippe"
written in 1887, which might have been
written today:
"Almost every year toward the
middle of November occur catarrhal
indispositions caused by the presence
Of humid and cold atmosphere and
fogs which suppress Transportation
Many die Of 1t, but the Parisians, who
laugh at everything, call these colds
the grippe the 'firts,' but the laugher
three days later is himself 'gripped'
by it and goes down to the grave.
Passing from old rooms and theater
halls to the open air makes this sup
preston Of the Transportation almost
unavoidable. The new fashion of
wearing long cloaks is excellent. It
gives protection against the cold. Talk.
Ing good exercise is even a surer
remedy. The women who are compelled
to wait some time for their carriages
those charming, delicate women 1
see shivering along the staircases and
porticoes-should consider that their
pelisses are not sufficient to protect
them against mishaps."
What would he have said to the abb
breviated skirts Of today?

MUST NEVER Be OFF GUARD
Mon Who Train or Care for Wild
Animals in clrcuses Cannot Afford
to Relax Vigilance.

There's saying In the circus zoo
when a new attendant, disregarding the
warnings Of old-timers, becomes care
less while working about the cages.
Here's a new animal trainer" the
veterans will remark, as they watch
the fresh helper petting a tiger or a
leopard. They know that it is only
a matter Of few days until the "cat"
will lash out with its claws unsheathed
and rip the arm of the newcomer. They
also know that nothing will teach this
type Of attendant the alert carefulness
necessary in handling wild beasts but
an ugly scratching. They can only
hope that the mans hurts will be
slight. He must have a lesson. He
must realize that all animals are
dangerous at all times, even if some
are more so than others.
One often hears it contemptuously
remarked, writes Frank Braden in
Popular Mechanics Magazine, that such
and such beast in an act is "just
a NANCY, toothless old lion," but often
that NANCY, toothless old lion, because
Of its rage, is more dangerous than it's
mates in their prime. The old lion is
testy, and no matter what its years,
1t carries wallop backed by ripping
claws. Sone of the worlds foremost
trainers, working with the same beasts
in acts year after year, have paid for
the slight carelessness that familiarity
with and affection for their jungle pets
have insidiously brought about. At an
unexpected diversion-the overturning
of pedestal, for instance-the
animals have leaped upon their mentor,
but with the element of complete sur
prise absent, no real wild-animal
expert Is caught completely unaware
by beasts leap.
