He Was Taught
A Lesson
By F. TOWNSEND SMITH
When Helen Armsby and I were but
ten years old we were great chum*
?t dancing actiool Helen waa 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 j
studying my lessons, 1 devoted my I
time covering the blank leaves and
margins of my textbooks with little
picture*. The fancy grew upon me,
and the profession I selected was that
of an artist Helen was my opposite, j
a practical girl, not given to floating
in the clouds, but walking right down J
on the face of the earth.
I didn't then snspect the truth, nelen |
had been iodking forward to a union [
with me and realised that If I s|>ent my
time daubing on canvas marriage with
me was impracticable. She had a j
little money of her own, but not enough I
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 j
set about practicing on the beautiful j
landscapes about the village In which J
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 tnat
tone which damns with fnlnt 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 V 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 to
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 dsy a dealer came In and said be
did a great deal for beginners by buy
ing their pictures and selling them to
persons who wished them to help fur
nish their bouses. He looked over mine
and selected the painting that Helen
had so ridiculed, offering me the enor
mous sum of $100 for It I 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 Ufa. I
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 witn mat |
particular picture. I went on paint |
lng, but since I sold nothing I soon
found myself In a state bordering 011 1
?tarratlon. Then another dealer came ,
to my studio and asked me If I could
duplicate the landscape I had sold. I
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?* hundred dollar*. Since
I had been Improving In my work I
could not understand why my clientele
should all want that same picture.
I grew suspicious. The next time a
dealer came to ray studio to buy one of
these paintings he paid me for *t leav
lt with me and directing me to give
It to a boy whom he would send for It
I asked the boy If be 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 ray amatement 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 hsd
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. I have long ago
recovered from my artistic fever and
am content In a nor* matter of fact
field.
BIRTH OF COLONEL BOGY.
Or'gin ot the Term Tha't Ha* Become
a Part ot GoW.
"Who 1* Colonel Bogy 1" That It thf
first question usually aalted by the re
crult when be atepa on tb? golf link*
Professions la and veternna never Mir
of explaining that be la the Imaginary
opponent, ? lth the flied mcore for each
bole, but few can tell how (he name
originated.
It generally la accepted that an Eng
lishman waa drat to net forth the Idea.
In December, 1880, the eoratcb acore of
the Coventry course wai taken, being
the acore that a good ncratcb player
would take to each bole of the ground*,
making no mistakes. but aleo fluking
nothing nor being fortunate with any
apeclnl flushes of brilliant play.
At the time they called thla "the
ground acore," and later several tour
nnnienta were given under the ayatem.
The name, however, followed soon. and
Its origin waa a curl->ua one. Dr.
Tbomna Browne. It N., went out to
piny against a friend. Major Cbarle*
A. U'ellmnn. and they agreed Instead
of playing directly against each other
to play against the ground acore and
decide their match accotxllngly aa each
fared In this way. It ao happened that
about the same time the boxy sons
was being sung by the late E. J. Lon
tien at the London (ialety theater, and
everybody else waa singing It The
words of the refrain were:
I lush I Huatlt Hush!
Her* comes the bogy man!
Ho hid* your head beneath the elothea.
He'll catch you If ha am.
There wns the Idea in golf. "He'll
catch yon If he can!" And It .lashed
ncrosa the mind of Major Wellman
when be wns playing thla game and
was getting ??caught" by the gTonnd
score. "Why," said Ixi to hta friend
Browne, "this player of youra la a reg
ular 'bogy' man." A considerable pleo
of golf history waa made In that
chance remark, for "bogy" waa from
that moment established in golf. Sob.*
time later "colooel" waa added.? Bi

Trade At Home
IT is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
mail order habit, that it ia to their advantage to trade at home. The
green fields far away appeal to them. s o they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they, n *r any one
olf the community, will ever see it again, and where it can ?? nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or tho *ands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests ofth e commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, while at the same time argue against'mail order bu?in*??
