THE ARTIST. He tried through years to satisfy The craving that was in his heart; His brothers came and passed him by, And left him toiling still for art; He modeled from his pliant clay Fair forms that others praised, but they Saw not the blemishes he found, And ever as his work was done He sadly smashed it to the ground, And newer efforts were begun. Men came to buy; he shook his head And modeled and destroyed, and then The craving to his bosom fed By deftly building up again, Aid, at the last, in sorrow cried To those who gathered at his side, Imploring them to batter down The splendid thing that he had made "Mad! Mad!" they said, and heaped the brown Turf where his wasted form was laid. -S. E. Kiser. DT many years ago a New York lawyer compiled into book form the stories of all .* the recorded lawsuits which he could find that had features about them odd enough to invest them with interest both for laymen and law yers. He found a mass of rich ma terial. There was the story of the suit for damages because a neighbor's gander had killed the plaintiff's cat. There was another suit which one man brought against another because the latter's hens were supposed to have eaten some gold beads belong ing to the complainant, and which the Plymouth Rock! took to be a new brand of yellow corn. There were scores of otrt queer yarns in this at torney's book. No matter, however, into what field you stray looking for queer things, and no matter how many queer things you find, another field may be counted upon at another time to disclose some thing a little more curious than any thing that before has been found. The reading of the premises in a Chicago suit which may be looked at by the curious will disclose what is probably the strangest foundation for a suit at law that has ever been used to sup port a claim. When it is known that the plaintiff is a woman it is not at all unikely that the reader of the statement of the reasons for the suit may find in it something of humor. Epitomized the recital of the case runs somewhat like this: "A suit by Mary Nevins, widow, to recover $10,000 for damages from Dr. Giles Forceps, dentist, for lasting pain and injury to the plaintiff's jaw be cause of having imposed upon it for a long period of time an Inhibition to exercise." There is little doubt that in his de fense Dr. Forceps will urge that the bill does not truly set forth the facts In the case because, as his answer will say, the Widow Nevins during the - eriod of so-called silence had her mouth consts ntly open. There is a bit of shrewdness in the doctor's defense plan, for surely he argues no jury can conceive of a woman with her mouth open who is not indulging freely in jaw exercise. . Well, the whole thing came ',ut of Dr. Forceps' well-known absent-mind edness. He has. been noted for years as the most forgetful man in the city of Chicago. Unless he has a subject well under hand and eye his wits are always woolgathering. People have heard often of men forgetting their own names, but it Is a pretty safe wager that Dr. Forceps' case is the only one of forgetfulness of name* that can be backed up by affidavits. The doctor has a grown son who does not stand particularly in awe of his father, and who, through long and wearying trials, has become annoyed to the pass of irritability at his father's memory short-comings. It is one of R. R. Donnelley Sons' directory name gatherers who will make affida vit to the doctor's forgetting his own name. The dentist's operating-room is in his residence upstairs. The di rectory man called and was shown up to the place where the doctor was "KEEP YOUB MOUTH OPEN UNTIL I BE TURN." plugging away at a patient's tooth. "Dr. Forceps," said the directory man, "will you please tell me your first name ?" The doctor lookeql at the questioner, scratched his head, hemmed a little, and then, going to the bannisters, leaned over and howled down to his son, "James, what's my Christian name?" In a roar impregnated with disgust and irreverence there came from be low stairs the answer, '"Giles, you fool." To get down to the Widow Nevins nnd her suit it is necessary to say that the widow had thriee cavities in her back teeth which needed filling. She went to Dr. Forceps and took her seat in the operating chair. The doe Informed his patient that one of the cavities was on the side of the last tooth in a position that was rather difficult to reach, and he enjoined per fect patience and quiet while he was attempting the filling, "otherwise," said he, "it may be necessary for me to drill from below, something I do not wish to do." The widow's mouth was open and the doctor worked away. She couldn't hold her lips and jaws apart long enough to enable him to do what he wished with the tooth, so he said. to her: "I am sorry, but I shall have to use a bit of harness that I have here to help me in the operation." Then the doctor got some sort of a rubber arangement, put it inside the fair patient's mouth, brought over from -the corner of the office a ma chine that looked like a theodolite and put a skeletonlike steel apparatus into the widow's yawning mouth. It was possible for her to close her mouth by the simple lifting out of the .;4r ,>. ') OFF FOR THREE WEEKS' HVNTING. doctor's mechanical contrivance, but he told her that she must not do that until the operation was over. Then Dr. Forceps turned to get a little sharp-pointed instrument which is al ways associated in a patient's mind with the pictures of mediaeval tor ture chambers. Unhappily, however, the particular instrument which the doctor wanted was not at hand. Then -it was a strange thing to happen to the doctor-he remembered he had left it on the table in the little reception room downstairs. "Mrs. Nevins," he said to the patient, "hold your mouth open till I come back. Under no cir cumstances close it, or you will undo all that I have thus far done." Then Dr. Forceps went downstairs. The widow lay back in the operat ing chair and stoically kept her mouth opefr. She heard voices from below. Some one said: "A.ll right, Billy, it won't take me a minute to get ready. I had a sort of an ide-thatitht~ol snap would bring them along." Five minutes afterward the widow heard a door close. Then she began to won der at the doctor's long absence. Fif teen minutes passed and she was in torture with the awful strain on her distended jaws. TPwenty minutes, twenty-five, thirty. Cou-ld she have done so she would have screamed. No doctor hove in sight. Forty min utes and the pain was like that of the rack and boot. The widow could stand it no longer. She put her hand to her mouth to take out the instrument of torture. She couldn't budge It a hair. There was some concealed spring that held the thing locked just within her teeth. A light chain ran from the contrivance to the theodolite looking thing alongside the chair. The widow was a captive In the torture chamber. She finally rose, lifted the concern to which she was fastened and crashed its pedestal against the door. The noise echoed through the house. In anotier instant there came flying up the stairs James Forceps, the doc tor's irreverent son. He said some thing that sounded strong, but the widow's ears were stopped with pain. James is a dental student. He In serted his finger between the teeth of the widow and the infernal machine fell out, but the mouth still stayed open. It was ten minutes before gen te massage treatment brought the jaws into working order, and even they have been, according to the widow, creaking and paining ever "Madam, how did this awful thing happen?" said James. "You father told me to be sure to hold my mouth open." said the widow, tearfully and creakily, "until he came back." "Until he came back?" ec'hoed JTames. "Good heaven's, he's gone with Billy Masters on a three weeks' hunting trip."-Edward B. Clark, in the Chicago Record-Herald. Medlaeval Oxfordshire. For a county which contains the old est university, Oxfordshire is strangely mediaeval. There are villages where no notion of medical science has pene trated, and where charms are the only recognized -cure for disease. A lady who has lately been lecturing In the neighborhood on sanitation. found that whooping cough was always treated by a spider. The spider was sewn into a piece of muslin and hung over the curtain rod, and the death of the spider means the end of the cough. A few weeks ago a child was seized with ill ness, and the doctor ordered "poultices on the chest." When he returned he found that the mother had carefully laid the poultices on the oak chest which stood by the bedside. The rem edy appeared to her perfectly natural. Thi.s sounds like a joke; but it is lit m-a11 truo -T.nndon Chronicre, AkP' Bill Does . onth of THEN HE MYTHOLOGY TelIIs)ow Its Name Then lie Stories of Mythol March has t is a dis agreeable, blustering month. It w Mars, the God of War, of Jupi ter and was around for a fight. He to be the father of Rom nder of the Roman Empir was held in great rever Romans, March was na Those old Greeks and Rto o weeks nor days of the undays or Mondays or an but they divided time by Ides.

I want the y "know and remember that mnths from Roman myth days of our weeks from 'avian mythology. Now Btrt of this wonderful sto classic and more dascina te Ara bian Nights. Two th -rsago it was the faith an 'of mil lions of people. Ju p the god of the Greeks an and Woden was the g amen and each had a so e-god of war. There was Woden. Wednesday was n Woden and it was originally day. Thursday was named or and Friday for his mother. h of these mythologies had a hades or infernal region for bad people and evil spirits. Pluto presided pver the one and a woman named Hela over the other. That is where the word Hell came from. It seems an awful ting to put ball in charge of a woman, but they said that no man was as bitas a bad woman. Her father was named Loki and she had two brothers. One was a serpent so big and so long that it wrapped around the world and then swallowed its own tail. The other was wolf, so' strong that he broke the strongest chains just like they were cobwebs. Then Woden got the man tain spirits to make anQther chain and they made it of six things. The noise made by a cat walking, the beard o a woman, the roots of stones, the breath of fishes, the smiles of bears and the spittle of birds. When the chain was finished it wag as small brak it. And so they chained.hlm~ and killed him. But listen what kiind of a-home Miss Hela had. -Hunger was her dining table. Starvation was her knife. Delay was her man servant Sloth her maid servant. A precipice was her door step. Care her bed, and Anguish the curtains to her bed chamber. No wonder she was cruel and always wore a stern, unhappy and forbidding countenance. This is just a sample of their my thology. It fills up several books. Now, where in the world did that peo pe get all these wonderful stories. Away back in the ages they must have had poets more imaginative than Homer. Some of our most learned men say they got the foundation of many of them from the Bible. For the story goes that away back in the ages the people got so bad that Julii ter got dreadful m'ad with them and resolved to destroy them. So he sum. moned all the gods to come to him, and they came from al parts of the heavens, traveling on the milky way, which is the street of the gu,and after taking counsel togetheyde termined to destroy all ma and start with a new pair. So Jur was about to launch a red hot thunderbolt at the earth and burn it up ,but one of the gods told him that he had bet, ter not, for he might burn up heav' en, too. So he concluded to use water instead of fire, and then came the flood which drowned every human being except Deucalion and his wife, who were good people. They escaped t othe top of a mountain called Bar nassus and were saved. That is very much like the Bible story of the flood and of Noah and Mount Ararat. And just so they got Hercules from Sam son and Vulcan and Apollo from Ju hal and Jubal Cain. and the Dragon f'ro mthe serpent that tempted Eve. and the giants who tried to scale the walls of heaven from Nimrod and his tower. Every great heathen god had a favorite son just as our Christian God has a Son. There is something sublime and comforting in even be lieving or imagining that a great and good being is somewhere in the heav ens overruling the earth and its per). ple, prospering the good an.d punish ing the evil. The fact that this all powerful being Is Invisible makes His existence the more impressive. Jupiter sat enthroned on Mount Olympus. Woden had a beautifu,l palace of gold and silver at Valhalla and it could only be reached by walking on a rain bow. And we pray to our God, -saying: Oh. Thou who dwellest In the heav ens" and not in the temples made with hands. History gives no account f any people who did not put their trust in some GoGd. and this proves our confession of weakrgess and our need of strength from sdW uper:ata tural divinity. The more.red and enlightened we become t**ore con scious we are of our weakness. Chil dren depend absolutely on their par ents until afar up in their teens. They o not need any other God, but by and by the parents pass away or fail o supply their increasing wants and then comes that feeling of helpless iess and the want cf a protector. Re flection comes with age and the more -.2!Cciely a man beoemes and the :ore intellinigent from study and cul tr th~e more he must realise his 4 norance and dependence. Therefore. [ annot understand how. such a cut red gentleman as Ingersoll can be so irreverent, so careless and prayerless about his own existence. for he cannot tell by what power he raises his hand or closes his eyes when he wills to do so. He says he would have planned many things very different. He would have given man wings and the power to fly. He would have made health catching instead of disease. He would have made infants colic proof and they should be as lively when born as lttle rhicks when they come out of the shell and the old men should always be calm and serene. In fact, he would have made everybody happy during life and every death a painless nne. He ought to have gone a little farther and abol ished death and then created more worlds for the never dying people to live in. But we are here and have to submit to things as we find them, and, as Governer Oates said, "Mr. Ingersoll, what are you going to do about it?" And now I want this month of March to hurry up and pass away. It Is ag gravating my grippe and I feel more like writing "an ode to melancholy.' It conthacts and withers my charity for my fellow en. I don't care a cent for Roosevelt and Tillman, nor Spoon er nor the Atlanta depot. But as the old Persian prophet said, "Even this shall away." Fifty-three years ago to day my wife and I were married, but an our account the weather was as lovely as a Lapland night. I was one of ten children-my wife was one of ten, and we have ten, and they have twenty, and no great calamity or af fiction hath befallen us, thanks to the good Lord for His mercies.-Bill Arp, in Atlanta Constitution.

Sixty-fifth Day-The House began te consideration of the bill to classify te rural free delivery service and ace the carriers under the contract rstem. Only two speeches were deliv ed. Mr. Loud, of California, chair an of the committee on postoffices 1d post roads. made the opening argu .ent In favor of the bill, speaking for ro and a half hours. Mr. Swanson,-of irginia, led the opposition. The de .te was interrupted before the close - the session by the presentation -of te conference report upon the Philip ne tariff bill. Mr. Payne, the major y leader, declined to allow the minor y more than 30 minutes In which' to scuss the report and this offer was djected by Mr. Richardson, the mino~r y leader. A filibuster followed and the ouse adjourned after the previous ieetion upon the adoption of the re >rt had been ordered. Mr. Loud, of California, began the.,,, ?bate on the rural free delivery biH. e declared, that upon the solution of Is question would depend whether e rural free delivery service would st ultimately $60,000,000 or $20,000 - 0 per annum. The rural free delivery rrvice up to this time, he said, had *en a political one and It had given, any members of Congress their first ate of the sweets of public patronage. e traced the history and rapid growth the service and its cost, declaring at It was the most extravagant in the blic service. At the inception the te carriers received $300 per annum. hey. now receive $600. If the salary rstem was continued they would even tally receive $800 or $900. At the esent time $850,000 was being spent r the supervisory force. Mr. Loud arged that a promise had gone forth at if the present system was contin d the members of Congress would ntrol the appointment of the carriers the future as they had in the past.

Sixty-fifth Day-The Senate begaa' ,e consideration of what is popularly,. ; town as the shipping bill. Mr. Frye tairman of the committee on com erce, made the opening statement ii: pport of the bill. He occupied then or for nearly two hours, reviewing t6 e measure reported by the committ " e and dealing with questions- which',: tve arisen In connection with its con deration. Mr. Frye's address waf"-r rgely technical, but his argument was tened to with close attention by Sen- 4 ors on both sides of the chamber,;R: emed to him, Mr. Frye stated, that .'

"It seems to me," said Mr. Frye, hat that picture ought to humiliate d mortify beyond expression anyd ttriotic citizen of the United States ao glories in the power and prosper v of his country. It 'is not alone hu iliating-it is absolutely dangerous." Mr. Frye asked who was going to .rry the $487,000,000 of exports In the ent of a war between German end -eat Britain. "Why," said he, "the rmers and the manufacturers and the a,ge-earners of the United States auld pay a penalty equal to that paid either of the contending parties." r. Frye then sought to- show that this ndition of things was caused by nerican wages, which increased the at of our ships for the foreign trader least 25 per cent. Mr. Frye declared that of all sem tps in the world of 14 knots n&up-. ard, 80 per cent. are subsidized by 'the entries whose flags they carry. Of'46 rots and upward, he said, all but sf,a the world are heavily subsidized byX e countries whose flags they float. tre we to submit to -this humiliating, retched condition ofT things?" said Mr. rye.
