BONHEbR'S MASTERPIECE.
Story of th« Famous Fronoh Artist'*
Painting, "Th« Hort* Fair."
In her story of Kosa Bonheur In
"Tales From the Okl World and the
New," Sophie M. Collinaun, the author,
writing of the artist's masterpiece,
"The Horse Fair," says:
"Never, surely, had there been so
many sketches of horses; they covered
the walls, the tables, the chairs, the
easels and even the floor, for the world
just then held nothing for Rosa but
horses. She painted away at them un
til she could have done It with her
eyes shut. Every horse In the great
picture had been sketched countless
times, and still Rosa felt that she must
try Just one more pose.
"All things, however, must come to
un end, even sketches, and so In the
course of time the "Horse Fair" was
finished. The world has pronounced it
Rosa Bonheur's masterpiece, for al
though she was to paint many splendid
pictures In thayears still to come, none
would ever quite equal this.
" 'My Parthenon frieze,' she called
It in Jest, but that Is Just what It is—
a frieze of horses; there Is not much
landscape, and the men hardly count,
and they have usurped the entire can
vas, these ponderous N'orman horses,
gray, brown and sorrel, ready to stam
pede out of the picture and taxlug all
the strength of the blue bloused hos
tlers to hold them in. Rosa had wish
ed to portray vigorous life and motion,
and she knew that she had succeeded.
"Many of her pictures went to for
eign lands, and she hoped that thl&
one might remain In France, but It,
too, went on Us travels, and as though
the restless horses could not endure
quiet, never stopped until it had cross
ed the ocean, and after many adven
tures was Anally tethered in the Met
ropolitan museum. In New York city
far, far away from Rosa's studio."
PRAYER FLAGS OF TIBET.
Every Fluttar Sends a Plea to Heaven,
the Natives Believe.
Encircling the buildings of Tbasa,
Tibet, is the sacreil road, merely to
walk along which absolves the mortal
from all earthly sins, and many pil
grims prostrate themselves for its en
tire length, thus scouring everlasting
happiness in their future life.
The most interesting portion of th»>
sacred road Is where It runs through
some sharp limestone rocks, carved
deeply with figures of Buddha painted
In many colors.
From the rocks prayer flags are bus
pended on lines running to an island
In the river. These prayers are uni
versal In Tibet, and so long as they are
moving they are recording prayers for
the benefit of those who put them up.
All devotees, men and women, walk,
«;ways turning a small hand prayer
wheel filled with minute prayers print
ed on thin paper, and larger prayer
wheels, filled In some cases with tons
of paper prayers, are set revolving by
the devout or are sometimes worked
by water power. Smaller ones are
turned by the hot air rising from but
ter lamps.
Single prayers printed on thin cloth
are strung vertically on poles or
stretched across open spaces to flutter
In the wind and thus send millions of
prajers vibrating toward the omnipo
tent for the benefit of some one's soul
l'hey are most picturesque. An old
lama I once questioned on the sub
ject told me "that if the person turn
ing the wheel truly believed that by
doing so he was accumulating merit
it would certainly count as a meri
torious action."—National Geographic
Magazine.
Table Etiquette.
Don't rattle your knife ami fork. The
napkin rings are more musical.
Don't rest on your arms on the table.
Stack your weapons in a corner before
dinner.
Never leave the table until the othen
are through. If in a hurry, take It
with you.
Never eat pie with a knife. It's
proper to eat cheese with pie, but
knives should ho eaten alone.
Cigarette smoking is permissible at
the table—if you are dining alone and
have a grudge against yourself.—In
dianapolls Star.
An Ancient Aqueduct.
The ancient Itoman aqueduct at
Nimes is generally considered the most
perfect of Roman relics, it consists of
three great tiers of arches, the lowest
having been used as a bridge and the
uppermost as an aqueduct. It rises
about 120 feet above the level of the
river. The Pont du Gard, as it is
called. Is believed to have been built
under the supervision of Agrlppa, the
Roman general, about fifty years be
fore Christ.
No Celestial Explorer.
"Did you ever take any interest In
astrology?"
"No," replied the matter of fact man.
"I can account for all the hard luck
and temperamental peculiarities I care
to by conditions right here on this
earth."—Washington Star.
Piling It On.
It probably is best never to give tj
in the first place. Occy Wattles proud
ly stated his record that in three years
of married life he has never neglected
to mail a letter. Now Mrs. Wattles
says he can write them too.—Kansas
City Star.
As We All Think.
"People are queer."
"Isn't that so? Sometimes I think
yon and 1 are the only really folks on
earth."—Detroit Free Press.

The Best Footwear Ever Made I
For You, Mr. Miner! r J
"Hipress"—the original White Rubber Boots and Shoes—repre
sents tFe biggest advance the world has ever seen in the method of
making rubber footwear. By a wonderful new process Goodrich auto
J tire rubber—the toughest, longest wearing rubber ever known—is
molded into One Solid Piece boots and shoes. Of course, Goodrich
—the Company that has supplied you with Everything that's Best
in Rubber for nearly half a century—invented this great improve
ment. Goodrich alone makes boots this way.
The soles will far outwear hob-nailed leather soles—they actually wear
longer than steel. And every "Hipress" boot or shoe is just One Solid Piece
of rubber—molded to fit your foot. Just think what that means, Mr. Miner!
No peeling—no cracks—no leaks.
"Hipress" is the only tootwear that will stand your
working conditions. Ask your dealer for the boots '
or shoes with the "Red Line 'Round the Top." '
