It was one day when pondering alo)ne the how to do it n-ot giving way to her overw\helming fate----that a light Iroke ill upon her. "I have' a mouth!" she exclaimled, "it was lnot ,n' O t, ' tti !t.' to receive food, and to ,,aak. lly lteeth can hold a brush!" ;AL that time shie was only 12 years ii. ihiding tile secret of her art ambitions in hltei' Iheart---for they iwould haIv been laughed at by tiet, (ownsplls(eople, andtl frowned down by practical parents---she bIegan il stantly to practice with the mouth, - -how to mlanipulate scissors with her mlouth-and a nieedle! These es '.iay's proved so successful that Sarah iitTllien sent a boy of tile village to 'purchlasie cotlrs, palette, easel, apn vas and brushes-- the artist's tools. IA\ga'inst the remnostrances of her parents sle liad herself pIlaced in a iigh cll ilt n le\el witll the easel, nld, Ier tools beside her,. she began. Si Tie first little sketches were so siu cessful tllat Sarah Biffen wrote (with hi er ioutllht) to a Mr. lukes of a ,nd i.lo!. a mlliniatulre painter, prayillg hi'et to give her lessons. Dukes was probably glad enough of the oppor tunity to lhve such a prodigy of per oeverafnce for a pupil, such a pathle tic splendor of pure grit! For 1t6 years Sarah liffen studied under AIr. Dlukes. In 1812 she was carried around the country to exhibit her pirowess and talents, as well as her ' lhuollenolnul ingenuity. She was at S-waff'ham in the great race week. vhen the place was packed with a Noisy week-end holiday crowd at the aces. But Sarah Biffen drew a larger crowd than blooded horses or Swaff'ham entries A tent or booth was erected for her. The handbills of that day tell us the price for seats to see tilhe marvellous girl: The Spit seats were one shilling, the gal-i lcry six pence. Pielure her in her high chair, the poor little figure of the burning eyes, not regarding the throng save with hanpoy interest. Sarah tiffen had "arrived!" Watch her writing her autograph, with her mouth, for her visitors. Watch her drawing land scapes, and painting miniatures on ivory. The charge for these latter was three guineas. Over her shoul ders roared the voice of Mr. Dukes, her triumphant teacher and conduc tor: 'I will give 1.,00 guineas if 21liss ltil'fen does not produce all that has been heralded of her." But she did! The Earl of Morton became inter ested in the gifted girl, and placed her under the tutelage of Mr. Craig, an artist at that time very popular for his portraits and for his illus traftions for the Countess of Blessing ton's fashionable book to which the (lite of England subscribed---"The iKeepsake." At last Sarah Biffen was ,atronized by the royal family, and was able to support herself by her art, that of miniatltre painting. She received a medal from the Society of Artists in 1821. Sarah lliffen shouts forever to our drowlsy blood, to our fearsome ven Itures: "What is possible may be done; what is impossible must be. done!"

'Member Joss' No-Hit \ictory. The tang in the October air stirs the memory of one famous game fought between two contenders for le the pennant, back in ]!98 One of the most memorable no-hii games in the history of the Amirican leagutr was played in tlevelandl between the Naps and the Chicago White Sox. Both seams were figihting for the lead, with the finish of the cant- y paign but a short titmt distant, and et players and fans wore their fighting clothes.

Joss did ie not permit a single wVlhite Sox to reach fii'st base. Walsh fanned t 6 Naps in eight innings. The game wat won by Cleveland. 1 to 0, Joe Birminghanm scoring the only run mlade during that mrost remarkable. of diamond contests. Cleveland made but four hits off Walsh, and Birmingham got two of them. Walsh lhad pitched a game that, !990 times out of a thousand, would have won easily for his team, and defeat under such circumstances was unusually w bitter. Walsh's elusive spitters were is always easy for Joe Itirtlinghani, al thiough difficult of soluition for any other Ilayer in the league, and on nmany other occasions atter that Joe ii woln games for Cl.evela nd when i Walsh was pitching. * * 5 It is interesting to note how the t' 56-pound weight figures have been boosted since C. A.. . Queckbherner Y made the record heave of 26 feet d 31, inches back in 1888. Queck- t Lorner's record stood until 1894. when James Sarsfield Mitchell came u o- er from ireland aind astounded the world by heaving the heavy missile 35 feet 10 inches. Mitchell's ' figures stood the te.t of seven years' p competition. In 1901 another mighty man front rt the Emerald Isle, John Flanagan, a wiped Mitchell's figures off the books. John threw the 56 a distance s of 36 feet 9% inches. 1904 Flana- t ,an boosted the figures to 17 feet iS 7:4 inches, and in 1907 to 38 feet 8 inches. The last named tmark of l Flanagan's stood till 1 911, when i McGrath in the Canadian champion ships at Montreal matde the tpresentc world's record of 40 feet 6%;ý inches. Another American record that is likely to be smashed at any time is George Bronder's javelin figures of 1 90 feet 6 inches. Both Brondet and his clubmate, Jim Lincoln, are likely to turn theil trick at any time. Eachl of theln has reached 191 feet iii practice, and sooner or later they will hurl a like distance in competi tion, The national championship meet at Franklin field, Philadelphia, re cently, marked the passing of one of the grandest of the grapd old cham pions----Dan Ahearn of the Illinois A. C. For the first time in 11 long years )Dan was not a factor in de ciding townership of the running hop, step and jump title, which, by the way, Ihis triedi and true old veteran had won nine times in 10 years. Ahearn leaves the list of cham pions without regret, sa\'e possibly the wish that almost every champlion entertains, viz., that he might retire undefeated. But with track and field championis, as with others, few leave the limelight without showing the inevitable signs of going back. I Old Dan was. in his day, the greatest "'hop ,epper" that ever hit the take ftf. There's not a question about thtlt. His record of 50 feet 11 inchIes, made at Celtic park back in 1909. has never been approached by anything on two legs. Aitearn used to represent the N. Y. Irish-American A. C. until 1911, then he went to Chicago, where he if .i ,ince represented the Illinois Athletic association. Ahearn's career rs n .iumping champion is probably tllhe m:st remnalrkable on record in Sltenglh, as well as in the consistency a of oll Dan's jumping year in and yeir i oUt. +a8 'rThi ('lnss in Sportographiy. it I910 John Ennis walked fromn SN'tw York to San Francisco in 80 days cnd five hours, oeating Wes ton's ttcord by 25 days. ,Whalt's the best run straight rail 5x10 hilliard record?

CAPITALISTS "KAI ER' GARY (Continued from Page One.) Senator Welsh asked if Mr. Gary knew the men would strike if the leaders were not received by him as they requested. "I didn't. It didn't occur to me," :aid Judge Gary. Opposed to Unions-. "Was there any other reason for your refusal to see the union lead ers?" Senator Walsh pressed. After a pause, Judge Gary replied: "Senator, I want. to be frank enough to say that it has been my policy, and the policy of the corpora :ion, not to deal with union labor leaders at any time. If an employe :ontracts with union labor leaders, he will immediately drive all of his employes into the unions. Otherwise, they could not get employment. "I'm not saying that they have not a perfect right to belong to a union. But we are not obliged to contract with them if we think that unionism is not a good thing, either for the em ploye or the employer." Senator Walsh asked whether his position was not practically notice "to the employes that the corporation was opposed to organization of un ions." "I cannot concede that," said Tudge Gary. '"It was claimed here that you have appropriated large sums to r 'ight labor unions," Senator Phipps iremarked to Mr. Gary. "We've never set aside one penny for that purpose," said Gary. Replying to questions by Senator Walsh, the witness said he would not deny that labor unions might be good t!ings in places and at times. but that "universal practices of labor unions, carried to the extent which 1 :-rnits outside agitators to establish the closed shop universally, is inimi cal to the best interests of the em ployes and the general public." Senator Walsh asked whether la bor organizers had not secured great reforms in working conditions, wages and the like. e "I deny that most emphatically," a said Mr. Gary. "The steel corpora tion has been in the van all the time t in that respect." S "Do you mean to say that the steel Iindustry led the country in the eight a hour day?" asked Chairman Kenyon. "I didn't say we had adopted the eight-hour day," Mr. Gary replied. BAIL IS WANTED WITHOUT FAIL OR THE -I-- MEN WHO ARE IN JAI Hundreds of workers are literally rotting in the jails of this country because of their activity in the cause of Labor. Many of these victims of the world-wide class war are awating trial-and have been waiting for many weary months for the speedy trial guaranteed them by the United States Constitution. Others were tried and sentenced to terms ranging from (lne to twenty years during the period of war hysteria, rad appeals in their cases are now being taken from King Capital drunk f.o King Capital sober. Some of the prisoners have escaped by death, others are dying, many have contracted tuberculosis and other loathsome diseases, and all are suffering untold agony from close confinement in the fetid atmosphere, from insanitary and unhealthy surroundings, from poor and insufficient food, and froni inhuman treatment accorded them by brutalized guards. Past attempts to secure bail for all of these workers in jail have not been attended with great success because of the lack of system. In dividual-s sought to secure bail for their personal friends, and failing to get the necessary amount they returned what had been collected, thus making tlheir entire efforts fruitless. This was the condition facing the delegates from all the western district organizations of the Industrial Workers of the World when they met in conference on July 3 and 4 in Seattle. The delegates solved the problem by an unfailing means Organization. A Bail and Bond Committee was elected to systematize the work of collecting bail and a nation-wide drive has been started to secure the loan of cash, Liberty Bonds and property sufficient to gain the release of all class war prisoners. With practically no advertising Six Thou sand Dollars were raised in the first five days. More than Two Him di'ed Thousand [)ollars are needed to release those now being held for their Labor activity. Sums of Five Dollars and up are accepted as loans, and all cash, Lib erty Bonds or property is tabulated in triplicate, one copy going to the person mnaking the loan, another being retained by the Bail and Bond Conunittee, and the third being filed with the Trades Union Savings and Loan Association of Seattle, with whom all funds, bonds and prop erty schedules will be banked. Only those who have been proved loyal and trustworthy are being sent out. as collectors. Everything possible has been done to safeguard this bail and bond fund, from the selection of the committee to the choice of the batik. A portion of the fund is being set aside to return loans on demand in case persons who have made them are forced to leave the country or have other reasons for making a withdrawal. Bail will be used to release specified persons where that is desired, but otherwise the release will take place by a blind drawing of names, thus insuring fairness to all prisoners. By common consent the men in Wichita. Kansas. jail will first be released, as they have been held the longest and jail conditions are worse there than anywhere else in the entire counlltry. This bail has nearly all been subscribed, and the men will be made accredited collcctors when released, and their speedy release will help to set others at liberty.

"That has been largely a question of desire on the part of employes. It involves the question of compensa tion." Stool Pigeons Testify. Mr. Gary will be examined again today. He gave way for an hour to several employes of the corporation's mills, who told the committee they knew of no reason for the strike. All agree that the men who voluntarily responded to the strike call were mostly foreigners, and one of them, John J. Martin, a Youngstown ma chinist, attacked the leaders of the national steel workers' committee. Is Now a Scab. "I think John Fitzpatrick, chair man of the workers' committee, with W. Z. Foster, secretary of the com mittee, as an able assistant, will over throw this government if they are not stopped," said Martin, who ex plained that he himself forhierly was a union man. They were engaged, he said, in "scuttling the American Federation of Labor." Martin testified that the steel em ployes at Youngstown, "Americans and foreigners alike," had been 'ter rorized by the threats to burn houses and kill children." Judge Gary also said in the course of his testimony that the company had much "hear say evidence" that such threats had been made against men who would not join in the strike. SPURNS AIBITRATION. (Special United Press Wire.) Washington, Oct. 2.-A comnpro mise or arbitration of the steel strike was flatly spurned today by Judge Gary, who is appearing before the senate labor committee. He said: "I cannot talk about a compromise or arbitration at the present time, as mituch as I regret it." Gary bases his refusal to meet the attempts to settle the strike on his claim that the union leaders repre sent a minority of the men. FOSTER ISSUES STATEMENT. Pittsburgh, Oct. 2.-William Z. Foster, secretary treasurer of the national committee for organizing iron and steel workers, issued the following statement before leaving for Washington last night, in reply to Judge Gary: "We are pleased by Judge Gary's statements before the senate com mittee investigating the steel strike. They show, more convincingly than anything which we could say, that the head of the United States Steel f. corporation stands stubbornly for t autocratic control of industry. He Ibelieves in a system under which a small board of directors have abso lute sway over the conditions of la a bor in an industry, while the great o army of workers who are vitally con 5 cerned have nothing to say. Y "The judges' talk about the dan 11 ger of domination of the steel in y dustry by trade unions is just a e smoke screen thrown out to obscure i, the issue. The workers in the steel industry are demanding the right of e collective bargaining in the only practical way it can be had through the trade union movement. Judge Gary is openly and positively refus h ing them this right. His statement that the steel corporation is willing to deal with individual employes, e smacks of the Eighteenth century. "In the first place, how can his s corporation make even a pretense e of 'hearing complaints' from its 260, n 000 employes individually? In the second place, what chance has an in dividual employe when dealing with this monster corporation? "Judge Gary calls the union rep resentattves of the employes 'rank outsiders.' This is another' frank ad mission of discrimination. The Unit ed States Steel corporation in its d dealings secures whatever experts it a chooses to represent it, but it re fuses to grant its employes the same right: it denies them the privilege of hiring skilled represent atives who are capable of presenting (Continued on Page Five.)
