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.— Cincinnati Enquirer. -J-y • ~~ ~ r - -- •- ■ ■ u **-**«-•*".• - a Useful Citizen. i ** Peter Buck recovered from his long siege of typhoid fever and be- i gan circulating among his old , friends and receiving their congrat- 1 illations. That is, those who rec ognized him congratulated him. j Before he was ill Pete weighed 220 pounds; now his clothes don’t lit ■him, and when he stands on the platform and drops a penny in the ! slot the little pointer stops at 130. ‘ • “Well, well," said a friend, ! “hx here’s your bay window, Buck? !

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 body’s.

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. A Boy Scout. 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.
