HAS TWO CLAIMS TO FAME
Daniel Defoe Was Great Editor az
Well as Writer Of Fiction That
Is immortal.

Daniel Defoe is thought Of by most
present-day people only for having
written 'Robinson Crusoe," but his
reputation among his own contenpo-
raries rested on a great variety of ac-
cOmplishnents, of which producing
that now famous book probably came
very near the last. He was chiefly
noted, in his own day, as very great
editor, the Detroit News observes. De-
foe survived three great political up
hcavals, for he wrote and Sclemcd in
the feigns Of James II, William III and
Queen Anne. His fortunes were varied
during these troublous times and. as
he said of himself, within six months
he saw "the difference between the
closet Of a king and the dungeon OF
Newgate."
One Of his greatest friends from
boyhood was Samuel Wesley. Wesley
and Defoc married the two daughters
of a certain Doctor Annrslcy, Defoe's
pastor. Samuel Wcsley's two SONS
were John and Charles, who after
ward became two Of the most cele-
brated divines of modern history.
Thus Defoe was their uncle by mar
riage.

GRAVES THINGS OF BEAUTY
Cooks Esthetic Sense Must Be Graft.

Housewives have wondered why
Bridget, the cook, packed up and left
without giving reason for her action.
Now the secret is out. 1t was, in all
probability, Dudley Crafts Watson.
interior decorator, says, because her
esthetic sense was not gratified in her
inartistic surroundings.
Perhaps the coloring and design on
the wallpaper did not strike har-
mon!ous cord in her spiritual makeup.
MANY cook has left because OF
the pictures in her room," Watson said
in recent lecture in Milwaukee, the
Milwaukee Journal reports. mo old,
inartistic picture should be hung in
her room. The wallpaper should be
warm, rosy, full of jolly color and Of
graceful design, She needs beauty"
In order to keep the cook from be-
coming dissatisfied and leaving he Of
fers the following advice:

painting or rarest print hang it in her

Or, in case one Is fortunate enough
to support gallery, the problem, no
doubt, could be slmplified by moving
in bed and turning the gallery over
to the cook. ia

Fast Boats In 1910.

Although the Cunard line operated
the first regular passenger schedule
on the Atlantic ocean, inausurated by
the Britannia in 1870, the Savannah,
an American ship, was the first steam
vessel to make the crossing, depend
ing, according to the records, more
upon her sails than her engines, which
ran for less than 100 hours. She was
built in New York city and sailed from
Savannah for Liverpool on May %,
1919, arriving IS days later.
The Royal William, built at Three
Rivers, near Quebec, made the entire
voyage under steam In 1888. Her first
trip from Quebec to London consumed
40 days. The Britannia's maiden trip
from Liverpool to Boston in 1910 was
