If you saw It In the Enterprise it's
He Was Taught
A Lesson
By F. TOWNSEND SMITH
When Helen Armsby and I were but
ten years old we were great chums. J
At dancing school Helen was my
favorite partner, and when we were
pairing off for the cotillion the other"
boys steered clear of her, knowing that
she would be engaged to dance it -with
me.
Our Intimacy continued through
youth, and when It came time for me
to choose a profession Helen objected
to my choice. At school, instead of
studying my lessons, I devoted my
time covering the blank leaves and
margins of my textbooks . with little
pictures. The fancy grew upon me,
and the profession I selected was that
of an artist Helen was my opposite,
a practical girl, not given to floating
in the clouds, but walking right down
on the face of the earth.
. I didn't then suspect the truth.- Helen
had been looking forward to a union
with me and realized that if I spent my
time daubing on canvas marriage with
me was Impracticable. She - had a
little money of her own, but not enough
to admit of her husband sitting on a
three legged stool copying clouds and
waterfalls. However, I started In,
studied awhile in an art school, then
set about practicing on the beautiful
landscapes about the village In which
Helen and I lived. One day while I
was thus engaged she came along and
stood behind me, looking at the pic
ture on my easel.
"Very pretty," she remarked In that
tone which damns with faint praise. I
asked her what she especially admired
in the painting.
Well, In the first place, that machine
for gathering grain is excellent."
'That isn't a grain gathering ma
chine; it's a windmill."
"There isn't any 'windmill about
here," she said.
"No; I am using the scene before me
for a study. Putting In what occurs to
me would make it more attractive."
"You mean improving on it"
Only a woman could give the cold
tone 'to produce perfect irony.
I didn't ask her to point out any
more beauties, but she did so of her
own accord.
"Did you put that balloon in for an
Improvement?" she asked.
"You mean that tree on the hilltop?
No, I copied that. You can see It In the
natural' landscape.
"Oh!"
There was an embarrassing silence.
I dared not speak for fear I should say
something I would be sorry for. Helen
didn't seem afraid to speak and made
another criticism.
"What kind of trees are those sur
rounding the tree on the hilltop?"
I made no reply. She referred toi
clouds covering the sky.
"You're cross today," she added and
proceeded on her way.
Not long after this I took a studio in
the city. No one ever came there to
buy pictures, and it was very lonesome.
One day a dealer came in and said he
did a great deal for beginners by buy
ing their pictures and selling them to
. persons who wished them to help fur
nish their houses. He looked over mine
and selected the painting that Helen
had so ridiculed, offering me the enor
mous sum of $100 for it. 1 was the
more delighted because I could tell her
that the picture had been sold, and the
price paid for It showed plainly that
her .criticism was unjust and absurd.
Well, I "had a new interest in life.
was absorbed in the fate of the one
picture I had sold. One day I saunter
ed into the shop of the man who had
bought it and looked for it among his
stock. I did not find It Then I asked
the dealer if he remembered buying a
picture from me and what had become
of it He said he remembered me and
the picture very well. He had sold it
at a profit
This ended my connection with that
particular picture. -1 went on paint
ing, but since I sold nothing I soon
found myself in a state bordering on
starvation. Then another dealer came
to my studio and asked me If I could
duplicate the landscape I had sold.
did so, and he paid me the same price
as I had received for the other. After
that, about once in three months, I sold
a copy of that picture for exactly the
same amount a hundred dollars. Since
I had been improving in my work 1
could not understand why my clientele
should all want that same picture.
I grew suspicious. The next time a
dealer came to my studio to buy one of
these paintings he paid me for it leav
it with me and directing me to give
it to a boy whom he would send for it
I asked the boy if he were to take it
to the art store kept by the dealer or
to the purchaser. He declined to an
swer the question. ,
This made me more suspicious than
ever, but I said nothing. I watched
the boy from a window when he left
the house, saw the direction he took,
then followed him at a distance.
What was my amazement to see him
leave it at Helen's home.
I was much impressed, not only with
Helen's method of teaching me a les
son, but with the tenderness for me
she displayed in doing so. I went to
see her the same evening and told her
that I had discovered that she had
been supporting me until I should re
cover from my delusion.
I accepted a position and went to
work at that which was in my case
something practical. V have long ago
recovered from my artistic fever and
am content in a more matter of fact
field. .

THE HUMAN TOUCH.
This is the tine story of a woman
who, by her request shall be nameless.
Her one plea is that she be permitted
to do good In secret-
She Is the convict's friend.
Her great service was rendered in
the days before Warden Tynan of the
Colorado penitentiary Introduced his
humane methods treating prisoners as
If they were human beings -
This woman lived in Cauon City.
where the state prison Is located, and
she used her opportunity to study the
prisoners.
She could - not see that they were
particularly different from other peo
ple In most cases. It seemed to her
there were persons as- bad if not
worse on the outside of the walls.
The woman wondered why so: man;
of the-convicts went from the prison
and took up a' criminal career and
were sent back.
She was told that It was almost im
possible for an ex -convict to make an
honest living.
Which touched her sympathies
She determined to aid the discharged
convicts, helping them,, if possible, to
adapt themselves to the world Into
which they were going.
And so Mrs. Joues that is not her
name was always on hand when noti
fied that a prisoner was to be released.
And she did more than merely to give
good advice.
She took him to her home. ..
There the convict was given a few
days, of sheltered freedom before he
faced the conditions , under which he
must take up the thread of his broken
life.
Mrs. Jones nameless here, but whose
name is written in the Lamb's Book of
Life! said she wanted to get the con
vict look off the faces of the men, the
convict habits broken up, and the fear
taken from the eyes that had lived in
the presence of the guards.
The men ate at the table along with
her husband and herself. Her home
was their borne. By every means she
accustomed them to- the feeling that
they were free humans with a chance,
In most Instances she was success-
ful and thus saved scores of men.
It was the human touch.
Do you remember when the Naza-
rene was . here that in many cases
where he made a cure he touched the
person cpred? It was the human con
tact that restored the sufferer as much
as the divine power. Somebody sym
pathized and cared!
And so you may form' countless so
cieties for the reclamation of the con
vict in vain unless, somewhere, there
is the touch of personal human sym-
pathy such as this woman gave.
Caesars Mother.
Caesar's mother was . "a strict and
stately lady of the old school, unaf-
fected by the cosmopolitan laxity of
her day." Consequently, though the
Caesars were wealthy, their household
was "simple and severe." Its greatest
son "was always passionately devoted
to his mother, who shared his house
up to the time of her death," when he
was forty-six years old.

An English "custom of'-not'so longiBollce say. that while he and his moth-
ago was to hang smugglers on gib
bets arranged along the coasts and
then tar the bodies that they might
be preserved a long1 while as a warn
ing to other culprits. As late as 1822
three men thus varnished could have
been seen hanging before Dover castle.
Sometimes the process was extended
to robbers, assassins, incendiaries and
other criminals. John Painter, who
fired the dockyard at Portsmouth, was
first hanged and then tarred in 1776.
From time to time he was -given a
fresh coat of varnish and thus was
made to last nearly fourteen years.
The weird custom did not stop smug

The flrt pointing press in the eastern'

Cold Blooded Betting.
The extreme callousness of the old
English gamblers or gentlemen, as
they were then called is illustrated by
the following account which Horace
Walpole, the celebrated letter writer,
gives of a curious occurrence at White's
coffee house in London. In one of his
epistles to Sir Horace Mann, under date
j of Sept. 1. 1750. he Says: "They have
put into the papers a good story, made
i at White's. A man dropped down dead
, . . . carried in. The
! club immediately made bets whether
he was dead or not,- and when they
were going to bleed him the wagerers
for his death interposed and said it
would affect the fairness Of the bet
and they stopped their efforts."
A Valuable Book.
The most valuable book' In the Brit
ish museum is the "Codex Alexandrin
us." said to be worth 300.000.
Where the Danger Lay.
An English clergyman says that when
he came to a certain place as vicar he
asked whether there were any sick to
be visited. ,
"Oh, no, sir!" was the answer. "No
body is ever ill in Berrynarbor. There
Is an old man, to be sure, over ninety,
who has taken lately to hlsjied, but
there hain't much the matter with him
that I know of," " .
"I thought to myself," added the t
vicar, "of the story of the Scotchman
who said to his doctor:
" 'Ye pu' a vara long face, doctor.
D'ye think I'm dangerously ill? ,
" 'Na, na,' was the reply. . 'I don't
think ye're dangerously 111, but I think
ye're dangerously old.' "

According to historians, the first

It was brought as a present to Charle

SMOCKING EFFECTIVE.
Blouses Trimmed In This Fashion
Smart For the Small j3oy.
One of the very prettiest ideas in the
way of trimming is smocking. This is
an easy stitch to learn and a little of
it can work wonders in lending an air
of distinction to the dress. A fasci
nating little frock was made from the
good old Holland linen, which with
stands so successfully the assaults of
hard usage. A fullness at the neck
was taken care of by the smocking,
which appeared again on the litle
wristband. A lovely goldeD brown
silk was chosen to work this smock
ing and the result was not only a
thoroughly practical gown, but an ar
tistic and pretty one as well.
The English smocked blouses for the
little lad are quite the newest fad and
they are wonderfully good looking.
The wash materials and the serges are
both used for these blouses. Some
times the smocking Is used to lend
the yoke effect again it appears only
at the neck In the front Anotber
model shows the smocking from the
shoulder well over the round of the
arm. In fact quite to the elbow. The
blouses are often allowed to fall
straight although they may be con
fined by a belt The little bloomers
complete this costume, which is really
as attractive as It ia novel.

This was the warning given to all
prisoners in the penitentiary as the
ft
Warden AwSn. officials declih-
e to give the source of the infonna-
was Placed in a cell on the
third floor. This morning, as the oth-
i er convicts passed Wigfall's cell on
tneir way to breakfast, the
neero
laugnea ana Doasted about his deed.
This incensed ' the prisoners, who ;
quietly perfected their plans for ven
geance. After breakfast about half of the
150 convicts in, the yard started for
the cellhouse. They overpowered the
keeper, who at the time was chang
ing the negro into another cell, and
locked the keeper in a cell. '
One of the convicts produced a
rope which he had secreted under
his coat. A half -hitch was placed
around the negro's neck and he was
dropped from the cell house balcony,
a distance of thirty feet The force
of the fall broke Wigfall's neck.
The time consumed in the lynching
was less than five minutes, and so
Quietly did the prisoners work that
none but the cell house keeper, who
was overpowereq, Knew what was
happening.
Warden Alston at once started an
investigation, but at noon it was said
he had been unable to identify posi
tively anyone participating. He ex
pressed the opinion that had Wigfall's
assault been made upon anyone other
than Mrs. Higgins and had he not
laughed and boasted about it, the
lynching would hot have occurred.
"Granng" Higgins, as she was
known among the prisoners, was
known for her kindness to the sick
and afficted. The aged woman is said
to be recovering.
BEER CREDITED WITH
SAVING HIS WATCH
PENDLETON, Or., Oct.2. An un
usual argument for the beneficial ef
fects of beer was made in the Justice
Court yesterday, when C. E. Welch,
of Nolin, appeared as a witness a
gainst George Van Horn, accused of
picking pockets. -
"You N see, your honor, through
drinking considerable beer I had in
creased my waist line until my trous
ers were unusually tight. When this
pickpocket attempted to go through
my pockets and take my watch, I felt
the pressure of the watch being with
drawn and nabbed the thief."
Welch and his companions held the
suspect until an officer was summon
ed. While waiting for an officer the

U'REN ISSUES ANOTHER
CHALLENGE TO DIMICK-
W. S. U'Ren has written the fol
lowing letter to Mayor Dimick:
"Hon. Grant B. Dimick,
Dear sir: , You are reported in the
Daily Enterprise as having stated to
the Live Wires yesterday that one
hundred business men in Oregon City
had been asked if they had read the
official pamphlet containing the meas
ures to be submitted to the people
at the coming election and that not
one had done so, also it is stated that
you said the same condition prevails
in some of the country districts. I do
not bfelieve you can name half that
number of men who utterly disregard
the State Pamphlet, or who have dis
regarded It even so late as this. By
the way, when are you going to an
swer my letter inviting you to meet
me in joint discussion of the Single
Tax Bill and Amendment?"
Boost your city by boosting your
daily paper. The Enterprise - should
be in every home.
