Exhibition of Fakes
to Help Out Critics

An exhibit of counterfeits, imita-
tions and copies of works Of art was
held In London short time ago. The
object of the exhibition, which in
cluded pictures, drawings, furniture.
carpets, metal work, ceramics and
sculpture, was to help students, col
lectors and critics in the study OF
problems Of quality and originality,
as also of period and school. In many
cases this object was furthered by
comparison of the copy with the orig
inal or the imitation with an au-
thenticated example Of the style and
period aimed at: and works produced
for innocent purposes of record, re-
production, duplication and repetition
and examples of restoration and re-
pair, as well as works intended to
deceive, are included.
At any rate, as regards the pic
tures, one comforting conclusion IL
that 1t is, on the whole, easier for
the forger to initiate those qualities
which appeal to the collector as col
lector-such as "the tone OF time"
and cracks in the surface-than the
basic qualities Of great work Of
art, such as drawing and design.

which fit conditions today. Then,
unionism fought as the under dog.
Today it satnds upon a more equal
footing with the employers with whom
it must deal.
Under the leadership of the men
you honor tonight, we may look for
a stirring revival of the age-old prin-
ciples Of trade unionism. True serv-
ice of these principles lies not in the
hatreds born of controversy in the
political arena. 1t lies largely in
bringing about closer understanding
between the man who works for a
living and the men who manage the
industries which must supply the ma
ton.
"It lies in the closest possible CO.
operation among trade unionists
everywhere, and in the elimination OF
all conflict and friction throughout the
broad field of trade unionism. These
things we may expect from the lead.

Historical Record of
Use Of "Poison Rings"

Throughout history the ring OF
death" has played dramatic part.
At first it was designed as means
of quick and easy escape from ter
rible fate, the horrors Of the torture
chamber or the disgrace Of slavery to
a hated enemy. Hannibal, the Car
thaginian general. turned to the poison
contained in his ring when he was on
the point Of being given up to his
enemies. The Athenian orator. De-
mosthenes, Is said to have carried
a similar ring, relates the Mentor
Magazine.
Time brought about the invention
of new kind of ring Of death, the
poison ring, designed for the purpose
of premeditated murder. The poison
rings Of the Borgias are famous in
history. Some Of them still exist, one
bearing the date 1903 and the motto
of Cesare Borgia. Beneath the bezel
Of this ring there is sliding panel,
and when this is displaced there ap-
pears a small space where the poison
was kept. Such rings simply afforded
a ready supply Of poison at need, but
another type constituted death-deal-
ing weapon. The bezel was wrought
In the shape Of q lion, the hollow
claws Of the animal admitted the
passage Of subtle poison through
them, and 1t is conjectured that the
death wound could have been inflict-
ed by turning the bexel Of the ring
inward, 30 that q hearty grasp would
produce a slight puncture In the vic
TINS hand

The Island of the Seven Cities was
an imaginary island, abounding with
gold, and adorned with superb houses
and temples, whose lofty towers were
visible at great distance. Accord
ing to legend that prevailed at the
time of Columbus, this island was
settled by seven bishops who, having
fed with great number Of people
from Spain and Portugal, when those
countries were conquered by the
Moors, took to the ocean, and finally
landed on an unknown island. After
their arrival the bishops burned the
ships to prevent the return OF their
followers, and founded seven cities
1t Is said that those nayigators who
visited the island in after years were
never permitted to return.-Kansas

LONDON AMUSED
BY ANT COLONY

Among the recent acquisitions at the
London Geological gardens is nest
of umbrella ants which have never
been seen before In the gardens They
are proving extremely interesting to
Londoners and have had busy time
because during the journey the queens
apartments got terribly disarranged.
but the whole community by working
overtime soon had them lin model
shape, says Science Service. In their
native home in Trinidad the ants are
always to be found In the neighbor-
hood Of rose trees. They cut off parts
OF the petals Of the roses and carry
these to their nests, holding them
over their heads like parasols. On
reaching home they masticate the rose
petals thoroughly and pile up the re-
sulting mixture in heaps inside the
nest. On the beds thus prepared a
special fungus grows, Of which the
ants are very fond.

The glove appears to have become

Court Forced to Rule

With all the natural intelligence Of
q dog, he Is not always the best wit

lawsuit over the ownership of q
valuable setter dog.
About 20 witnesses were examined,
10 of whom declared that the dog be-

10 were equally certain that the dog
was the property Of the defendant
Finally. the dog was called as a wit

a dog down fiat with his nose upon
the ground. Everybody tried to get
the dog to change his position. but
without avail, until the plaintiff
snapped his fingers, and then the dog
got up.
This was considered as conclusive
until the defendant charged" the dog,
and he behaved exactly as before. In
fact, he would do so for anybody. So
his evidence was stricken out and the
case went on without him.-Detroit

FOR PROFIT ONLY
Newspaper Owners Oper.
ate, Says Wall Street
Journal

New York.-The Wall Street Jour-
nal contributes to the cause of real
ism by combating the popular de-
lusion that newspaper is not pri-
vate-controlled institution, operated
for profit.
A local newspaper, in an editorial
article, declared that "the American
newspaper had always been an insti-
tuition affected with public inter-
est"
To this, the Wall Street Journal
bluntly replies: "a newspaper is a
private enterprise, owing nothing
whatever to the public, which grants
it no franchise 1t is, therefore, 'af-
fected' with no public interest. 1t is
emphatically the property of its
owner, who is selling manufactured
product at his own risk. If the pub
lie does not like his opinions or his
method of presenting news, the rem
edy is in its own hands. 1t is under
no obligation to buy the paper.
"To say that public interest is
created because newspapers are car
ried in the mails at special rates
fixed by the post office itself, is sheer
nonsense. If that were true, every.
thing else carried in the mails woulC
be affected with public interest.
"For ridiculously obvious reasons
there are many newspaper owners
willing enough to encourage the pub
lie in the delusion that it is the editor
of newspaper who dictates the Sc
lection of news and the expression 0.
opinion. He only does SO subject tt
the correction and suggestion of th'
proprietor of the paper who, mos
properly, considers his newspaper as
plain business proposition. 1t is jus
that, no more and mertainly no less
and the public is all the better serve'
when there is no pretense of being
anything else"

GOLDEN Bed
Next Big Palace Attraction
During Their Anniver-

the wonderful program offered at the
Palace theatre last Sunday, Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, in honor of

the added attractions, the decorations,
and the feature itself ("Broken

ment has well lived up to all prom

lavish productions startles more than
ever with the gasping gorgeousness
of "The Golden Bed"
