WHERE SARGENT BEAT
THE BUSINESS MAN

Considerable surprise was eX-
pressed when it was learned that
Sargent, the greatest portrait painter
and one of the great artists OF his
generation. who could charge what
he pleased and always have COM
missions, left a fortune of only
Sl25 900.
That was. to be sure, ten times as
much as might be left by teacher
or poet Of equal distinctions; but it
was ten times less than would be left
by a manufacturer or merchant far
less successful.
There are, for instance, seventy
five men in America who returned
incomes ten times as much per year
as Sargent's entire fortune.
There are probably twenty thou
sand ten times as rich as he was.
And there was only one Sargent,
with no peer.
The difference is that Sargent left
behind him other things that will
live forever. These seventy-five mill
lion-a-year plutocrats might spend
themselves in vain. now, to own one
Of his masterpieces apiece.
So long as men paint. Sargent

envy of artists.

If you could teach gold fish to

And if gold fish had false teeth

Canary birds are awful loafers.
They should knit socks or play

SWEDISH PRISONERS CONVERT
FARM INTO MODEL PENAL
COLONY

Halmsted,, Sweden, July 20.-OP
An abandoned farm has become
Sweuen's model penal colony.
About five years ago the govern
ment conceived the idea of sending
prisoners there to complete their
terms at outdoor work in virtual
freedom. Transfer to the farm
was made the reward for good be
haviOr and now is the goal OF all
Swedish prisoners.
The land has been put under cul-
tivaton by the prisoners so sue
cessfully that it serves as an OBJ
ject lesson to the peasants Of the
district.
Notwithstanding the complete
freedom OF movement permitted
for farm work, none OF the prison
ers has attempted to escape.

BIOGRAPHY OF LINCOLN

Berlin.-One Of the latest publi-
cations on the German book market
is biography Of Abraham Lincoln
in German. Hitherto only the Ger
man translation of the Carl SEIZURE
sketch of Abraham Lincoln's life ex-
listed. The author of the German
work is Count Albrecht Montgelas
The book has met with favorable
reception by the press. Reviewing
it the Vassische Zeitung says: de
spite the obvious thoroughness of
Count Montgelas' investigations and
research work among the mass of
existing Lincoln biographies, his
book reads like an interesting short
story" Another paper states: even
among educated Germans, there are
not many who fully realize LincOln's

NOT WORSE, BUT WE
HEAR MORE ABOUT IT

Statistics Of juvenile crime are
frightening critics of the "degener-
acy of the age But it may not be
so bad as the figures indicate.
There has always been juvenile
"crime." The difference is that now
it gets into the record.
When you stole watermelons, in
your youth. the only risk was being
caught by the farmer, with a pitch
fork.
Now the city gangster who steals
junk gets into the Juvenile court.
When life was simple and there
was plenty of room. all sorts of
things could happen. Now, life is
too crowded and too complicated for
unruly youth.
Every time youth jumps over the
line. it bumps something.
There are more bumps; but it by
no means follows that there are
more jumps.
