OF course, she couldn't make

Won Success Both al
Artist and fnveufor

Samuel Finley Breese Morse had
two distinct careers and climbed from
the bottom to success In each Of them.
He Is best known for his invention of
the telegraph, but before he even
dreamed Of the invention, he had ex-
perienced the complete career Of an
artist He began as a strolling ped
der, barely keeping clothes on his
back and food In his stomach by
painting portraits Of New England
country folk as he wandered from VII
lage to village. In less than a score
OF years, by dogged persistence, he
became the foremost portrait painter
In America before whom sat presi-
dents and generals and statesmen,
and he was head of the National
Academy Of Design. His work was
acclaimed at home and abroad.
Then, just at a moment when he
reached the height of fame as an
artist just when he was returning
from triumphs In Europe, with bright
prospects for financial ease and still
higher honors, an inspiration from the
clouds caused him to renounce all he
had gained and begin again-this time
as an inventor with a great idea.-

Spleen in Nature OF
Storehouse for Blood

Fox long time the spleen was as
sociated with an irritable temper. To
day we hardly believe that. What we
do know Is that 1t Is q muscular bag
lying on the left side of the body,
near the upper end Of the stomach,
and that It sometimes engorges with
blood, and swells. But the blood,
strange to say, Is not ordinary blood.
The spleen seems to be sieve, and
Sits the blood so that only one GER
tain kind Of red corpuscles can get
through. These corpuscles, which are
thought to be the ones that have been
In the body the longest time, appear
In many cases to die In the spleen,
so that the organ has the reputation
Of being cemetery for red corpuscles.
The spleen Is not selfish, however
when the body needs blood the spleen
empties itself This is the case when
exercise is taken or when there is slow
poisoning by coal gas or loss Of blood
By hemorrhage. says Bancroft But
when much blood is In circulation, as
when there Is undue strain on the
heart, the spleen dilates and blood Is
withdrawn.
Smyrna times., 1926-10-13
Mysterious Spleen

There is still one bulky organ In
the human body about which we know
little-concerning what its function
is, at least. That organ Is the spleen.
The English psychologist. Bancroft.
pointed out recently that its use Is
a mystery TO us even now.
The ancient Greeks, he said, are
said to have improved their athletic
prowess by cutting out the spleen,
their argument being 1t was the cause
of the stitch In the side that some
times stops the best runners. This.
however, does not appear to be justi-
fed by the records.

Old Rag Dolls More
Durable Than Pretty

In many Of the early New England
homes rag dolls were treasured heir
looms. They were Of all sizes, and at
tired In all sorts Of quaint costumes.
The only points In common were that
their faces were invariably fat their
hands stiff and rigid and their toes
turned out In a ''west-footed" manner.
Sometimes they had black buttons
for eyes, but more frequently their
faces were painted with beet and fruit
juices However, their eyes, noses
and mouths were sometimes embroid-
cred. For hair they had toupees of
yarn or hemp or small bunches Of
real hair. Their clothing was usually
of the full-skirted variety and they
sometimes wore sunbonnets Of the
same material as their dresses. One
doll Of this type is said to have pleased
the daughters Of one New Hamp-
shire family for more than eighty
years, and is still In use. OF course
