"Jim the Penman" he delighted to call him self after a melodramatic charac ter of his youthful days, and it is by that name that e is now held in cordial remembrance. An article concerning Huneker would be "local," wherever bril liant English and a love of- the beautiful extends, and for this reason in numbered many admir ers in Salem admirers who read wlth'atJdlty everything that came from his facile pen. In speaking of him one Vcal musician -said: "It was not that' Huneker 'was merely a musician, for he com bined Jn an admirable, war, music, art, poetry; all that is beautiful and -uplifting.. into one perfect whole. He loved all equally, and it was this that gave him his broad culture, and the artistic finish to everything that he wrote." A writer in the Baltimore "Sun" after , characterizing the parlous state of criticism in America, went Aft fiav "Huneker sent a shrill chord of I gay music through all that profes l tlonst Bumbling and nose-blowing. By some Strang favor of the cods r ae escaped irom nis native r nua- delptua before he had come of are and went to Paris to study moils and ! the humanities. He cams back far more the. French nan than the American, and the frenchman j be' remained all his lite, with curious overtones of the Sooth German, the Hungarian and the wild Gael that he really was at bottom It was always incompre hensible to him that the fine arts should be looked upon as means to 'improve' the mind. He regarded every such use of them as barbar ous and even saciillgious. His view of the arts was that they were their own sufficient excuse lor existence that aesthetic de light needed no moral purpose to glT it dignity and validity. This doctrine be began to preach back in the eighties. If it has got any standing in America today, be and be ilone is! responsible. There ere critics of a sounder and sur er learning in his generation, and tnere were critics far more Just ttelr Judgments, but there was none who even Temotely approach ed aim in gusto, there ' was none who had a tenth of his Influence." Tiiat herein Huneker showed ttliity to ' crltlclte himself -Is troosht out by the further state aenn of MM Sanborn: '."The chief contribution of Hun "ef 'as a critic was his burning rtnosity. It i led him to investi gt every new movement, every waame in the music, tbe Iiter "7. ue painting, or other arts of world.

HUGH KYLE, (Gertrude East) who. with her -LVX husband and little daugher, Jane Gray Kyle, was being w elcomed back ;o Salem this week, where the Kyles will take up their permanent residence. Since their marriage they Jiave made their home in Stanfield, Oregon.. . . , - . . j ern continent. -He wrote with au thoritative ' knowledge of Richard Strauss, of Debussy , of Scboen berg in music, and .the impres sionist and the post-impressionist painters, of such authors as La Fourge, W'edeklnd and the young er Russians when they were not even names to "many readers. He was always reaching out to the men and women and bringing to the world the news of tomorrow In art and life. , "James Huneker was a living, vivid catalog of the modern, ar tistic world, with at times its sud den flashes of unreasoning which plumb the deeper .mysteries and significances of life. And always the extreme picturesquences and animation of his writing, a style of pomp and splendor, but touch ed with the rough hurly-burly of the vernacular made every page he wrote an exciting and con structive inspiration to the reader. In time bis two books of short stories may gain the recognition they deserve as two of the most important volumes of short stories ever written by an American. Sev eral ot the stories rank with those of the French masters of the art. Hnneker himself had great. pride in his story 6f the "Black Mass, which won the condemnation of Tolstoy and the praise of Huys xnans." ; " Judge Charles A.

A . short time ago the Oakland (Cal.), Tribune opened a contest requesting its readers to submit answers to the querry. "Why Does a Girl Close Her Eyes When She is Kissed?" Thousands of replies overflowed the contest editor's desk, but it remained for a little, unsophisticated girl. Iris Marie Hamilton, 12-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ira Hamilton, for mer well-known Salem folk, now living in Oakland, to submit the most satisfactory answer. . Here is her reason J" "A Girl Closes Her Eyes When She is Kissed To Give ' Her " Pupils a Little Recess Because They play ed Their Part So Well'." Speaking ot the result, the Tribune, which carried an attrac tive picture' of Miss Hamilton, said: "Miss Hamilton won through sheer feminine wit. because she is too immature to be a blase woman 1 of the world or even to have first hand knowledge of tbe basic rea son why tbe girl closes her eyes. She is a sophomore student In the St. Francis de Sales school and she is just 12 years old. "And ft. is a happy coincidence that, the winner of the first prize in a contest in which the eyes are featured! so prominently should bear the! name of trfs. Goddess of the Rainbow in classical mythol ogy, but a very Important physi cal factor in eyes, optically speak ing." Among the prize winners was Miss Juanita Miller, daughter of Juaquin Miller, who reflecting her father's gift for phrasing things' in poetry, submitted 'a bit of verse as her answer. Some ot the answers were not so graciously worded, for instance "From what I've seen of Oak land wen, 1 don't see how a girl could kiss one without first clos ing her eyes."

Germany, which is a small place located on tba very summit of the Hartz moun tains and is a pleasure resort for those suffering from throat and lung trouble, as the air Is par ticularly pure and bracing. This has a wonderful effect ' on the voice of the canary, and it il here that the best canary breeders are located. Bird education is car ried on to a degree . that can scarcely be understood by those not familiar with. the methods used. The young birds are taken from the nest before they have a chance to nar or acquire the canary song, and their naturally clear 'toned voicv-s are trained 'by listening to a 'little Instrument called a bird organ.' and also by larks and nightingales. Their song is made up qt rolls, trills, bell notes and so forth, and their voice usually ranges over several octaves, every n6te being pure, soft.: sweet and mutical. The ruegedness of their constitution Offer I ... is shown by the fact that none' died in transit and all started singing at once upon being taken from the crate.
