When Frank Millet painted the dec.
grafton for the Baltimore custom
house he occupied a studio in old
Forest Hall on Wisconsin avenue,
Georgetown. A long bare flight Of
steps led UP to the hall from the en-
trance, and no barer or more barren
place could be imagined than the
studio when one was once inside. The
walls were in poor repair; the floors
atrocious. At one end was a long
table on which drawings and cartoons
could be laid out A few books were
scattered about; sketches were pinned
up here and there. High up on the
on the long. scaffoldlike easel was
the work in hand. But still it was a
splendid Workroom.
Calling at this studio one afternoon,
the writer found it bedecked with a
profusion of Spring flowers. Inquir-
ing the meaning and presupposing a
festive occasion, the painter explained
that he earlier had had a call from
tom Page and Hop Smith," and
that they had brought the flowers.
What a delightful incident.

man, but his friends adored him in

Methods of Signaling

Birds all have good voices barring u
few like the pelicans and .cormorants
that are virtually silent. and sTwe nnd
that they communicate their messages
mainly by means OF the voice. Nam
mails on the other hand, are not pos
sessed Of such ready voices and so are
given much more to the use Of ges-
ture, says Hamilton NJ. Laing, IN the
Winnipeg Free Press.
The common Richardson ground
squirrel and striped spermophlle OF our
prairies the prairie dog and some 9th
ers of these rodents, apparently use
their tails in signaling. 1t can be
noted, too, that each animal Is very
prone to repeat the signal. This trait
Is 80 pronounced that often we hear
them called "hicker-tails.' These Eel
lows all have shrill whistle that Is
much more useful as danger signal,
and this is true of the marmots (Wood
chucks) also.
The red squirrel of the woods ex-
presses great many things by means
Of his great eeathery tail, but he seems
to use it not so much to signal to his
kind as to express his own feelings.
He has a good voice and his messages
to his kind are sent by means Of 1t.

How Ben Hill Got
A County Agent
(From Triton. Gazette)

Editor Gelders, of the Fitzgerald
Leader Enterprise, ushers in the New
Year with the announcement that
Ben Hill is going to have Farm
Demonstration during the year 1916.
Editor Gelders, who is such an en-
thusiastic booster for his home town
that he talks Fitzgerald and prosper
ity in his sleep, spent some time in a
vain effort to get the county board of
education to employ Farm Demon
strator. Failing in this he did not
give up the job. Gelders isn't that
kind. He called on Fitzgerald's three
progressive and advertising banks
and they came across with the neces-
sary mazuma to get Farm Demon
strator for Ben Hill. Gelders and
those three banks deserve to prosper
during 1926 if nobody else does but
with a Farm Demonstration at work
in that county, all of Ben Hill is
slated for an era of prosperity.
