THE MURRAY NEWS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1907
AN ENIGMA IN STONE.
“Nirvana” In the Rock Creek Ceme¬
tery at, Washington.
So many things may bap said of St.
Gaudens—of the traits of his genius.
his modesty, his deep sympathy with
ali who possessed high Ideals or who
had noble thoughts; of bis own noble
generosity, his willingness to sacrifice
himself for the advancement of art,
his keen perception of beautiful char¬
acter, or of a fine impulse that often
shone for him out of the most com¬
monplace of lives or of features. One
incident of many, says Harper’s Week¬
ly, may not only illustrate 1dm, but
help which to illumine a masterpiece of bis
has perplexed some minds that
may be worth tl»e enlightening. “The
work is the figure of 'Nirvana' in tbe
Hock Creek cemetery at Washington,
St. Gnudens was in Washington in
the winter of 1902, making iiis beauti¬
ful relief of Wayne MacVeagb and
Mrs. MacVeagh, and Hildegarde Haw¬
thorne was there, too, and visited more
than once that dreaming figure in the
cemetery. At last site was moved to
write some verses, which she sent to
a magazine, but the editor thought that
lie had seen, verses on the sculptor's
work that better expressed its senti¬
ments, and returned the verses with
the stimulating suggestion that some
day Ire would show the young woman
some real poetry about the figure. St.
Oaudens, too, had seen both poems,
and When he heard,of this expression
of the editor’s he wrote to him and
said that Hildegarde Hawthorne’ had
divined his intention as no writer Imd
done, aud therefore the veraes are in
print. So, if you like, you may solve
the riddle by reading them.”
JOYS OF A COLLECTOR.
Picking Up a Valuable Painting at an
Auction 8ale.
Collecting will always have its ro¬
mances. I know of one that occurred
at the sale at Christie's of the effects
of the late Sir Henry Irving. Some
one 1 knew had been to see the collec¬
tion before the sale. He came across
a portrait with which he Was familiar
because he had seen It thirty years
before. On consulting his catalogue he
discovered that the portrait was de¬
scribed as being that of a man im
known, and, further, the artist was
also unknown. Now, be knew that the
portrait was that or a famous actor by
a famous English painter. He longed
to buy It, but decided that it would
go at too high a price. lie went to the
auction with very little i)ope. The
"Whistler aud tbe Sargent were sold,
and then it was tbe turn of this picture.
Nobody recognized it. Finally be had
to start tlie bidding himself, and (his
be did. Only one man bid against him,
but lie soon stopped, discouraged, aud
then the picture was knocked down to
the man who had never expected to
get it. He hurried to the desk to pay
the small amount and to carry ol'C his
prize. “Do you happen to know any¬
thing about that portrait?” the auc¬
tioneer asked him as a porter took it
down to a cab. “I know it very well,”
said tbe new owner, conscious that it
was now safely his property. “It is a
portrait of Bucks tone, the actor, by
Daniel Maoliso. There Is an engraving
of it in the Mad iso portrait galiery.”
Mrs. John Lane in Pearson’s Magazine.
Started the French Walking.
The celebrated Dr. Troneldn, friend
of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot, was
the inventor of walking. In France
until his epoch (1700-S1) the leisured
class never walked either for health
or recreation. Walking was only prac¬
ticed by the Tiers Ktat. Folks fooled
it from one place to another simply
because they possessed neither coach
nor sedan chair. l)r. Tronehin, an
Initiator in many other respects, in¬
duced “les elegants ot tes elegantes,”
writes a historian, to take what is now
called a constitutional. To stroll
abroad was named “tronchiiTer” after
the inventor, and for their airings both
sexes had special costumes and shoes,
the latter being more especially neces¬
sary. The verb "tronehinor,” by the
way, has not had tbe fate of our “to
boycott,” having passed into disuse
long ago.—Westminster Gazette.
A Baldheaded Reply.
A naval officer, very well and favor¬
ably known in London, has for some
unknown reason been advanced in his
profession very slowly, though he has
grown gray in the service and Indeed
lamentably bald. Recently one of his
juniors was bold enough to question
him as to his remarkable absence of
hair.
“How comes it that you are so very
bald?”
The officer replied promptly and with
much vindictiveness:
“You, man, you would be bald, 1
think, if you had had men stepping
over your head for years in the way I
have.”—London Punch.
A French Joke.
Two doctors were called to attend a
man who had suffered an accident to
his hand.
“We shall have to amputate three
fingers,” said one.

“Oh, well, three, then,” replied the
second. “We won’t quarrel over a lit¬
tle thing like that.”—Nos Loisirs.

The most remarkable of all the ex¬
tinct feline animals are those known
to naturalists as the saber tooth -d
cats or tigers, a group comprising t
greater part of all the fossil forma.
They date back to tbe earliest time o?
which we know anything a bout the
family ia North America and reach
down, to the time of man himself. A
large and powerful species described
from the Indian 'territory by (' ;«•

hairy mammoth/ as evidenced by the
commingling of their akeietnuH. There
can be little or uo question but :.i. ■x
the hairy mammoth was contomj m
neous with man In North America
as welt as in Europe. Its geological
range is from the close of the eoceue
to the latter part of the pleistocene.
The chief peculiarity of the animal
is the extraordinary elongated canine
teeth. The tail Is of unuuuAt length
and the legs are short, The anlntai

Came 2,000 Miles To Find
Her Intended a Negro
Valdosta, Ga,, October 16.—
The spectacle of an intelligent
and good looking white woman
coming 2,000 miles to marry a
man whom she found to be a
negro has greatly exercised the
people of Lake Park, in this
county. Information of the
affair reached this city today.
Last Saturday afternoon there
alighted from a Georgia Southern
and Florida train at Lake Park a
voung woman who was a stranger
to the people there, and who, af
*“ *'**»« *"»" d «? •«*««»
some time, as if expecting some
one to meet her, ventured to in
of blunder, if they knew
Rev. J. J. Roberts. The man
first appealed to thought a few
'f^ents . and , finally « u confessed c ,
dld not kn ° w of one
by ' that name in the town. An- :7
(dher party told i i ,, the , lady , that
the only J. J. Roberts in the
town WM m preac ,
known . locally „ Burnt-Kyed D . „ .
„„„ as
Jake,” who got his name from
pj, e net that he had lost one eye
; 1,1 n * u,t n rp *
The lady was escorted to the
Lake Park hotel by some of the
svnipath6tic citizens, and it was
there that she told her story.
She said that her name was
Middleton and that her home
was in Vermont. Some months
ag0 she began a correspondence ,
with , Rev. J. J. Roberts, of Lake
Park, getting in communication
with him through a matrimonial
pa p er or correspondence bureau.
bll c , « , l'*“l , , become engaged , to , him
and he had sent her money to
pay her way to Georgia, where

Henry E. Jones of Tampa,
Fla., writes: “I can thank God
for my present health, due to
Foley’s Kidney Cure. I tried
doctors and all kinds of kidney
cures, but nothing done me much
good till I took Foley’s Kidney
Cure. Four bottles cured me,
and I have no more pain in back
and shoulders. I am 62 years
old, and suffered long, but
thanks to Foley’s Kidney Cure I
am well and can walk and enjoy
myself. It is a pleasure to
recommend it to those needing a
kidney medicine.” Rouse &
