A CRAZY MAN’S IDEA.
Perhaps It May Not Have Been So
Very Foolish After All.
A uiau et.iv. <<i a”, jure gallery
the other day . nd sa;...
“I've got s](ii».(»()(i i. ai | want to
spend in the c,:c<>nr.; _e; unit of na
tive art. I van! to buy painting.'
by unknown painter.-' of talent.
This will help the painters along,
and if 1 eh »o>e wisely it will be a
good investment for me. 1 put my
self in your hands."
Needless to say, the dealer was
more than pleased.
“You’re a wise man and a good
man," he muttered, and he had al
ready chosen for his patron 130
canvases, value $67,000, when a
uniformed keeper entered. The
patron was, alas, insane.
But, dear reader, ere you smile
-stop and ask yourself if that luna
tic's proposition was so very lunatic
after all.
Men go daily to their bankers
with sums far greater than SIOO,-
000; they ask their bankers to
choose investments for them, and
the bankers choose N. G., which
later drops 70 points, and P. D. R.,
which drops 37 points, and New
Grass, which drops 150 points, and
•S. 0. 11., which vanishes altogether.
Yet the action of these skinned
men is not deemed insane, and no
body dreams of smiling at it.
Why smile, then, at the lunatic’s
action? The lunatic, a score of
years ago, could have spent his
SIOO,OOO on Whistlers at SSO or $75
that are now worth $20,000; on In
nises at SIOO that have risen to
$5,000; on Sisleys at $l5O that eas
ily fetch $7,500.
r Acd thcry are American paint
ers in New York today who will be
the Sisleys. the Whistlers, the Sar
gents and the Innises of the future.
'Fhe man who spends SIOO,OOO on
the work of these painters today
will unquestionably leave a fortune
of several millions of dollars in
pictures to his heirs. But if a man
should buy unknown pictures his
investment would be deemed lunatic
and ridiculous, whereas if he bought
some water soaked stock everybody
would say he had in him the mak
ings of a Morgan or a John D.—

** Peter Buck recovered from his
long siege of typhoid fever and be- i

friends and receiving their congrat- 1

ognized him congratulated him. j
Before he was ill Pete weighed 220

slot the little pointer stops at 130. ‘

“Count my ribs?" repeated Buck 1

The Criminals.
Mr. Amsbury, the superintendent
of the penitentiary, was escorting a
party of women visitors through
the building. They entered a room
where three women were busily
sewing. As they turned to leave
the room one of the visitors said:
■‘'What vicious looking creatures!
What are they in for? They really
Hook capable of committing any
crime.” “Well," replied the super
intendent., “you see, they have no
other home. That is my private
sitting room, and they are my wife
and two daughters."
Just Like His Father.
A school teacher in one of the
counties of New York state receiv
ed the following note from the
mother of one of her pupils:
“Dear Mis, you writ me about
whipping Sammy. 1 hereby give
you permission to beet him up eny
time it is necessary to learn him
lessens. He is juste like his father
—you have to learn him with a
clubb. Pound nolege into him. I
wante him to git it and don’t pay
no atenshion to what his father
says. I’ll handle him.”—Every

Johnny Was Right.
“ ’Tain’t only English people
drops their aitches,” said a little
boy to the new teacher. “I never
heard no American pronounce the
aitch in my name."
“What is your name?” asked the
teacher.
“Johnny," said the little boy.—

The New Pope.
| The least known of the cardinals
I seems to have been selected by his
I colleagues as the head of the Roman
! Catholic church. This is the Hie
I history of Benedict, given in con
deused form:
j The new Pope —Giacomo (Latin,
I Jacobus; English, James) Delia
i Chiesa (pronounced Dell-a Kee-
U 7.-II . )
His titli —Benedict XV.
Born —1854.
Ordained —1878.
Made Cardinal—May 23, 1'314.
Elected Pope —September 4, 1914.
The name Giacomo Della Chiesa
literally translated means in English
“James of the Church.”
The coronation of Pope Benedict
XV took place in the Sistine
chapel. The ceremony was imposing
in its solemnity. The Sistine chapel '
was used for the occasion to avoid
pomp during the war. The entire
pontifical court, numbers of the
Roman aristorocracy and the family
of the pontiff were present.
The scene with Pope Benedict
seated in the Sedia Gestatoria,
preceded by bearers of the triple
crown and flanked by bearers of the
celebrated feather fans, and sixty
cardinals in their full vestments,
was a striking one. When the
ceremony ended the re
ceived with loud acclaim.
Later in the day Pope Benedict re
ceived successively in private audi
ence Cardinals Gibbons, Failey and
O’Connell, who presented their
suites and some American friends.

What boy with rich red blood in
his veins does not admire|boy"seout
Letson of Belgium whoj.as been dec
orated by king? He is said to have
penetrated the German linesnot once
only but ten times while carrying
dispatches and to have discovered
eleven German spies. The boy he
roes of some of the most ridiculous
five cent novels ever published in
this country bad nothing] on young
Letson. Thousands of Belgian men
would no doubt give their right
hands to have such a reputation as
this youngster has acquired. His
feats will make young Americans
wish this country was at war so
they would have a chance to show
what they could do in the way of
scouting. ft is hard to convince
them that it requires greaterjbravery
sometimes to stick to humdrum
peace and be good manly boys than
to be spies in war times.
