VISIONS WHISPERS

Act well your part-there all the
honor lies,
If you wrong another you wrong
yourself.
No good building without good
foundations
A poor man served by thee shall
make thee rich.
Honor is the noble minds distin-
gushing perfection.
The height of honor is rather to sur
fer than do wrong.
Your character can not be injured
except by your own acts.
From the lowest depth there is a
path to the loftiest height.
Never ask your friends to do for You
what you can do for yourself.
Many delight more in giving pres
ents than in paying their debts.
The more honesty a man has the
less he affects the air Of saint.
Talents are nurtured best in soil
tude, but character on life's tempestu-
Gus sea.

CREDITORS OF CARDOS,
BURKE TO GET LITTLE

New York, Dec. 11.-Creditors of
| the bankrupt stock brokerage firm
of kardos and Burke, who had been
| assured they would receive dollar for
| dollar, were thrown into a panic at a
joint bankruptcy and creditors meet
ing today when Charles H. Lobell, eX-
pert accountant, testified they might
get very little.
When the firm failed, eight months
ago, the creditors, chiefly from New
York and Chicago, were told in a
circular bearing the name of the
firms attorney that thu assets were
ample to pay 100 cents on the dollar
and that business would be resumed
in a few months. Today, testifying
before Referee Peter J. Olney, the
accountant declared the firms liabili-
ties would total about $2,OOO,OOO with
assets of about 100000 and it's books
were in such complicated condition
that it would take fifteen bookkeepers
N entire year to straighten them out.
The three score or more creditors
clamored to know how the assets had
disappeared and their anger was in
tensified when it was brought out
that the books showed an item of
$584,909 owed to the firm of Max
Goodney.
Louis Kardos, Jr., young member
of the firm, pressed to tell who Good
ney was, said he knew him as trader
but had no idea how he came to deal
with the firm. He denied the account
was a ''house account" for himself,
Burke or Greenwald, another partner.
John ". Burke, former treasurer of
the United States and former COVER
nor of North Dakota, did not invest
one cent when he became member of
the firm in January, 1920, Kardos
testified. He protested that the
amount of money he was accused of
having withdrawn in the advances was
too much.

TRUE DA WINCH IN LOUVRE7
Museum Director SCOTS at Theory
That Famous Painting Has Been
Brought to America.

Artists and friends of the Louvre
museum may reassure themselves.
The original Of Leonardo da Vincl's
painting, LA Belle Ferronniere,
hangs in the museum and Is not In
America. This Un the authority Of
DEStournelles de Constant, director
of national museums.
This is an old story" said the d.
rector. 1T is not the first time that
the authenticity of our masterpieces
has been questioned by foreign collec-
tors. There seems to be no way Of
putting q stop to the habit.
THE painting entered among our
collections under the title Of La Belle
Ferronniere was certainly from the
brush Of Leonardo dn Vinci himself.
1t was among the art treasures of
Francis I and, In 1912, Pere Dan, the
kings minister Of finances, identified
it as the portrait of the duchess Of
Mantau. Certain historians, on the
other hand, have maintained that 1t
was that Of Lucrezia Orwell. II Is
generally conceded today that the pic.
ture represents La Belle Ferroniere,
one Of Francis rs favorites.
"Whoever 1t may represent, how.
ever, the painting had always hung In
the private apartments of the king
until IT was transferred to the Louvre,
Its authenticity might POSSIBLY have
been questioned had it been stolen at
any time. But no such misadventure
ever occurred to it"-From lie Petit
