He has therefore recently been warning all families who own cats to watch them carefully, and, if they develop coughs, to forbid their being hugged and petted. Dr. Awburn further, recommends that if the cough persists and the cat begins to grow thin to hjave the animal destroyed at once.

Cardinal Who Surprised Clerk

Merry del Vai, When Buying an Amerldan Typewriter, Tested the Machines by Writing Sentences j in Many Languages; No man of the cloth has lately heftn more in the public eye than Cardinal Merry del Vai, first on account of the prominent part he played in the series _ of-incidents that kept Colonel Roosevelt from being received by the pope, and, more recently, on account of his ! PTfominehce in. the- quarrel between ' Spain and the Roman Catholic church. “What manner of man .is the cardinal?” is a question that is now com- ■ monly aSked. A hitherto unpublished incident, which occurred when the cardinal was in this country about, a i decade ago, may serve to answer the query, in part at least. It is told on the authority of Rev. Father Connolly, who wad for some years secretary to the late Archbishop Corrigan of New York and Bahamas, and who was thrown much with Cardinal Merry del Vai during his stay in America. “Do you know,” began Father Connolly, “Colonel Roosevelt missed a great opportunity when, through those unfortunate complications at Rome, he was unable to come in personal contact with Cardinal Merry del Vai, for ih the cardinal the colonel would have found a man after his own heart. I suppose it is true that almost all Americans picture the cardinal as a grave, excessively dignified and sol-emn-visaged man, but that is not .so. He is so far from being burdened with dignity and solemnity that, had ColoDel RoOsevelt been abjp to visit the American college in Rome at a time When the students were playing pasetjall, he would very likely have beheld Cardinal Merry del Vai himself engaged enthusiastically in the sport, and in him he would have beheld an athletic, keen-eyed and quick-moving player, one who, I am told, can pitch a curved ball equal to the best of them. Then, too, ’the cardinal is one of the best shots in all Italy, arid a superb swimmer, and he could have told Colonel Roosevelt of his interesting experiences in those two branches o? sport without the aid of .an interpreter,., for the cardinal speaks Eng-

Negro Painted Prize Winner\ -! . 1

I '■ -I . How E. M. Bannister, an Unknown Artist, Duff Have Now Famous Picture After Medal Had Been Awarded. Some time before the Centennial exposition, held in Philadelphia in j. 876, was opened with appropriate ceremonies, the late John Duff, one of the great i-ftilroad capitalists, of Boston of a generation ago, and for several years a powerful voice in Union Pacific affairs when that railroad was governed largely by Boston men, entered the picture gallery of Dow & Co. in Boston, in Mr. Duff’s day one of the leading American firms dealing in pictures of high artistic merit. Mr. Duff, who had made a large and Important collection of pictures upon his own judgment as to their merits — much after the fashion of James J. Hill and John G. Johnson of PhiladelphiS^oday —wandered about the gallery’Wr several minutes, at last stopped in front of a large landscape paint- ! Ing that showed some sheep grouped under a cluster of oaks. For a long time the millionaire collector of art gazed silently at the canvas. Then, his study of it over, he called to Mr. Dow: “Is this picture for sale?” “Yes,” was the reply, “although no price has been set upon it.” “The sheep are not very good,” criticised Mr. Duff, “but the landscape Is superb. I have never seen finer trees. They remind me of the [work of Jacques. Who is the artist?” “He is in the next room. His name is Bannister. Step in and see him, If you like,” said Mr. Dow. “Bannister —Bannister,” mused Mr. Duff. “I don’t recall that as the name of any artist I have ever heard of before.” And he stepped into the adjoining room to make the painter’s acquaintance. But in a moment he was back again., “I don’t see any painter in I that room,” he protested. “Well, the man who painted that piotiire is in that room, |nevertheless,” said; Mr. Dow. “I will go in with you and introduce you to him.” When they entered the room the only! person Mr. Duff saw there was a colored man. Him Mr. Dow called to theiii. “Bannister,” he said, “this is Mr. John Duff. He has been looking at your picture, and wantß to know if It is for sale.” For several seconds, as he stood facing the very dark skinned man, Mr. Duff was too astonished to speak, but finally he managed to ask: “Did you pallit that picture?” “Yes, sir, I - did,” was the respectful reply. “Where?” “In my little studio in Providence, R. L* “Do you mean to tell me,” insisted Mr. Duff, “that you, alone and unaided, painted that >iatur«F'

lish without an accent and as. faultlessly as the colonel himself. “But the best illustration that I can give you of the cardinal’s diversity, of his practical nature, of his learning and of his keen sense of humor is to tell you of an incident that occurred during his American visit. “Some little time after he had been - here he mentioned one day that he had become an expert in manipulating I the keys of a typewriter, went on to say that no foreign typewriter machine could be compared with those of American make, and finally expressed a desire to be taken where he could purchase a Yankee-made machine. He was shown to a warehouse, where he would have a wide range of choice. “Garbed simply as a priest of the church, and with no one suspecting his identity, nor even that he was a foreijgner, because of his proficiency in English, the cardinal took his seat before the first machine showed him and clicked off a few sentences In English. The clerk tolerantly smiled his approval. Then, as though casually, but ; with a perceptible twinkle in his eye, j

Odd Reading for Great Mind

John G. Carlisle Found Recreation in Frothy Literature of the Summer Boy and Girl and in Detective Stories. Shortly after the late John G. Carlisle had made before the United States supreme court the brilliant argument by which the territorial relations of Porto Rico to the United States were interpreted by the court, I saw in the far end of a smoking car in which I was riding, a tall, white felt beaver hat, of a style which was in fashion about a generation ago, and I knew at once that its wearer was Mr. Carlisle; for he was the only man in his later days who maintained the once universal of wearing such a headpiece. I had known 'Mr. Carlisle for a number of years and, going up to his seat,

“Yes, sir, I certainly did,” was the reply.. « "Well,” exclaimed Mr. Duff, his surprise still in evidence. “I will give you ?1,000 for it. But I want full proof that you painted it” “You need have .10 apprehension on that score, Mr. Duff,” interposed Mr. Dow. “I -have investigated the matter. There is no doubt that Bannister painted the picture, just as he says he did.” “Who taught you?" asked Mr. Duff, again turning to the negro. “I studied here in. Boston at the Lowell institute, sir, and under Mr. Rimmer.” “Will you sell me the painting for a thousand dollars?” “W’ell, sir,” replied Bannister. “I should like to send it to the Centennial exposition in Philadelphia first. I once lived in Philadelphia, and I would feel mighty proud if a picture of mine were x exhibited at the exposition.” “All. right, Bannister,” said Mr. . Duff, “first send your picture to the ’ exposition, and then let me have it for a thousand dollars. But I’ll tell you this right now: If your picture is exhibited at the Centennial it will take , a medal of honor. If it doesn’t, then I will give you ?250 more than a thousand for the picture.” , “Yes, sir, thank you, sir,” respond- ' ed the negro, and so the bargain was made. And in due course the picture, accepted and hung by the art committee of the Centennial exposition, received a first award medal. Then from several quarters the artist was offered much more than a thousand dollars for the painting, but he remembered his word to Mr. Duff and “Under the Oaks” became one of the most ’ highly prized pictures in Mr. Duff’s private collection. Today, in the world of art, it is a famous American landscape, though its whereabouts has long been something of a mystery, few persons knowing that it is in the private collection of Mr. Duff’s son-in- ' law, Dr. William C. Bullard of New York city. As for the black man who painted this prize picture, E. M. Bannister, death claimed him several years later before he had produced another painting worthy to be placed in the company of “Under the Oaks.” * (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards.

Giving Him Rope. “Pardon me,” said young Slowboy, “but do you—er—mind if I call you Stella instead of Miss Willing?” “Not at all,” was the prompt reply. “To tell the truth, I’m getting awfully tired of being called *miss,’ anyhow.” Not Adapted to Mellowness. “How was the sermon?” “Remarkably well preserved—con- ' sidering its age.”—Life.

the cardinal began writing in French. This time the clerk smiled in a perplexed sort of way, and the cardinal, quick to note the change, clicked off some Italian, and right below ‘i several sentences in Spanish. “By this time the poor clerk, and the others who had come up, having been attracted thither by the ‘priest’s’ expert manipulation of the machine, were utterly bewildered. aStill, one of them managed to secure a machine capable of writing German when the cardinal politely asked for it, after which that humorous twinkle still in his eyes, he further mystified the office by writing German as perfectly and easily as he had the other languages. _, “Machine after machine the cardinal tested in this polygot fashion, so to speak. At last he bought one that suited him, and then, for the first time, the clerk who had waited on him learned of the Identity of his distinguished customer, the cardinal ordering the machine sent to him at his address in Rome. And I presume that it is upon an American typewriting machine that today he conducts much of bis polyglot correspondence.” i (Copyright, 1910, by E. J. Edwards. All Rights Reserved.)

I spoke to him. He greeted m.e cordially and asked me to be seated beside him, and as 1 did so I saw that he was surrounded with as large a collection of very light reading as it had been my fortune to see in the possession of one person, other than a news agent, for many a moon. I supposed I showed my astonishment; at any rate, Mr. Carlisle smilingly remarked: “You see, I have some light reading.” “I should hardly have thought,” Mr. Carlsle,” I repled, “that la man of your professional and political ability would find any pleasure in reading publications devoted chiefly to the summer girl and boy.” "Well,” laughed Mr. Carlisle, “I dote on ’em. I have secured a quiet place up in the country, in a very quaint nook on a hillside. Every evening when I start for this delightful resting place, I go to a news stand and pick out the lightest kind of reading I can find, and on the train and after I supper is over, until midnight, sometimes, I have a fine time reading. It’s the way I get my meiftal rest-and recJ reation; it is the only way I get it You know, I take no Interest in sports of any kind; I don’t even care about horses, though I was ’born and bred in old Kentucky.’ But give me light reading—the frothier the better —and I am refreshed by it as other men are renewed when they ride to hounds or track the golf ball down. “And the worse the story the better I am revigo ted, the easier I forget the cares of life. Now, take this story I have been reading. Listen to this —” and the great lawyer reeled off a paragraph or two of as bad writing as I had gained knowledge of in a long while. “Isn’t that delicious? Do you wonder that the enjoyment I get from perusing such literature makes me forget my professional cares and gives me that complete mental rest and recreation which every man needs at some period of the day? I have heard Senator Hoar of Massachusetts say that he delights in the stories of Ned Buntline —dime novels, I believe, they are—and I have known justices on the supreme court bench who found perfect mental rest in reading what is called trashy literature. It is the same way with me. “And give me the short story, if possible, and the thrilling detective story, at that. I am very fond of a detective story, no matter w-hat its literary style or merit and no matter what the plot. This magazine here has a good one, from my point of view” —he held up a cheap periodical —“and so has this one. All these magazines you see about me I’ll probably finish with tonight, and then I’ll go to bed and sleep soundly because they’ve made me dismiss all- professional cares and worries from my mind. I attribute no small portion of my good health to the fact that this light reading brings me mental change and sound sleep, for it is a practise that I have kept up for many years, and it has never failed me.” A few minutes later, the train having reached my station, I bade Mr. Carlisle goodby. On my way from the car I looked back, and already Mr. Carlisle was immersed in the pages of an all-story periodical notorious for the trashiness of its contents —the same John G. Carlisle who had delivered one of the most profound speeches ever made upon the tariff upon the floor of house of representatives; who had been speaker of the house of representatives for three terms, United States senator, and secretary of the treasury, and whom Grover Cleveland thought so much of that he hoped to see him nominated for president by the Democracy in 1896.

THRESHING RETURNS FROM WESTERN CANADA. i They Reveal Larger Averages of Wheat and Oats Than Anticipated. I The returns from the grain fields I of Western Canada as revealed by the i work of the show much . larger yields than were expected as I the crop was ripening. It is a little | early yet to give an estimate of the ■ crop as a whole, but individual yields j selected from various points throughj out Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta show that the farmers there as a rule have had reason to be thankful i over the results. Excellent yields are j reported from many portions of Manitoba and a large district of Saskatch- ! ewan has turned out well, while the ; lentral portion of Alberta is splendid. There will be shown at the land exposition at St. Louis a sample of the Marque s wheat—a new variety and one that appears to be well adapted to the soil and climate of Western Canada—that yielded 53 bushels to the I acre. The exhibit and statement will be supported by affidavits from the growers. This wheat weighs well, and being a hard variety will And a ready market at the highest prices ob- , tainable for a first-class article. It is I interesting to point out that a field of one hundred acres of this wheat would give its producers 5,300 bushels. Sold at 85 cents a bushel would I give him $45 an acre. Counting all ! the cost of interest on land at S2O an acre, getting the land ready for crop. Seed sowing, harvesting and marketing, the entire cost of production would not exceed $8 an acre, leaving the handsome net profit of $37 an acre. T s there any crop that yield a better return than this, with the same labor and initial expense? Cotton fields will not do it, apple orchards with their great expense of cultivation and the risk to run from the various enemies of the fruit cannot begin to do it. While what is considered an exceptional case just now is presented, there is no doubt that this man’s experience may be duplicated j by others who care to follow his example. As has been said the growing of this wheat is but in its infancy, and wheat growing is still largely confined to other older varieties that do not yield as abundantly. Even with these we have records before us of i farmers who have grown 40 bushels to the acre., others 35, some 30, and others again 25 bushels. Taking even 20 bushels, and some farmers report that amount, it is found that the returns from such a yield would be sl7 an acre. This wheat will cost to get to market, including all expenses, about $8 an acre, and the farmers .. will still have a net profit of about !$9 an acre. Certainly the provinces of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba ar#> progressing, settlement is in- ■ creasing and there is a general contentment all over the country. The social conditions are splendid, the climate is excellent, and there is every condition to make the settler satisfied. At the farming congress, held at Spokane in October, wheat shown by the Alberta Government, took the silver cup, awarded by the Governor of the State. It completely outclassed all other specimens on exhibition, and it was but an ordinary selection, hundreds of fields in Alberta and Saskatchewan being able to duplicate it. There are still available thousands of homesteads, as well as large areas of first-class land—that is being offered for sale at low prices. The agent of the Canadian Government from whom the above facts have been learned expects that the rufeh to Canada will next year largely exceed the numbers who have gone this year. Russia’s Growing Population. This year’s census of the Russian empire adds another five millions to the population as enumerated in 1908. The czar’s subjects now’ number 160,000,000 and increase every year by 2,500,000 despite wars, epidemics and ! internal disturbances. As there is no lack of cultivated soil in Russia there ! seems no reason why this big annual I Increase should not continue. SAVED OLD LADY’S HAIR “My mother used to have a very bad humor on her head w hich the doctors called an eczema, and for it I had two different doctors. Her head was very sore and her hair nearly all fell out in spite of what they both did. One day her niece came in and they w’ere speaking of how her hair was falling out and the doctors did it no good. I She says, ‘Aunt, why don’t you try Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment?’ Mother did and they helped her. In six months’ time the itching, burning and scalding of her head was over and her hair began growing. Today she feels much in debt to Cuticura Soap and Ointment for the fine head of hair she has for an old lady of seventy-four. “My own case was an eczema in my feet. As soon as the cold weather «tame my feet would Itch and burn and then they would crack open and bleed. Yhen~T thought I would flee to my mother’s friends, Cuticura Soap *and Cnticura Ointment.
