An Artist and His Dog
BY CARL JENKINS
(Copyright, 1911. by Aaeoetted Lita ry Peas.)
It was known to the Shefclds, the I
Durhams, the Chattertons and all 1
other country families for five miles
around that the little farm known as
Roselands had been sold to some one 1
In the city, but the name of the buyer i
had not transpired. Roselands had 1
been owned and occupied by an old
recluse for years. His hobby was r
growing roses, but he would never
sell or give one away. They simply i
budded, bloomed and faded.
On two occasions Miss May Shef- I
field, who was by all odds the best
looking young woman who drove past
Roselands had stopped and tried to
melt the old man's heart, but it was
in vain. Had she been red-headed
and cross-eyed, and had a big mouth
and a nose tilted up at the end, he
i could not have been more surly with
her. Neither praise, flattery, smiles
or cash would melt him. Red roses- I

the passersby could not have one of
them.
WhBen- tt -was known for certain
that the old recluse had departed, I
and that the buyer was coming down
from the city in a few days to take
possession, Miss Mary put on a deter
mined took and said:
"Well, I'm going right over there
tomorrow afternoon and get some
cuttings from those rose bushes. I
Con't believe the buyer will care. At
any rate I'll chance it."
"He's probably a married man."
said the mother, "and you don't know
what his wife may say about it."
"It she's mean enough to say any
thing I'll offer to pay. Why, we've
given away cuttings and roots and
bulbs by the cart cload."
At two o'clock next afternoon, after
a walk of a mile. Miss May arrived at
Roselands. She had brought a knife
along, and she lost no time selecting
the bushes and making her cuttings.
When she had bundled them up she
took a look into the cottage through
a window, and was amazed to find
that a lot of new furniture had been
moved in. Weeds and grass bad also
been cut down, and it was evident
that the buyer was ready to take poe

r session. If the trespasser had delayed
- a single day longer
a And then she heard the chug of an
2 auto, and lost it as the machine
stopped at the gate, and there came
a the sounds of men's voices and the
s barking of a dog. The buyer of Rose
t lands was at hand! Should the girl
walk out with that bundle of cuttings
under ner arm, and her chin held
high in defiance? No, of course not.
t Should she go without the cuttings?
Should she break her way to the
fields In the rear through the rank
grass and weeds? A shed with vines
climbing over it, and the door stand
a ing half open caught her eye, and a
few seconds later she was concealed.
A good looking young man, talking
s with his chauffear, came up the path
and unlocked one of the doors and
entered. Half a dozn trips were
made by the two, and when they
came to an end the hiding girl knew
that the chauffeur had driven away
alone, and that the master and his
t dog were seated on the doorsteps
t within 15 feet of her. She scented
the smoke of a pipe, and she heard
the man say to the dog:
"Well, old fellow, we are here at
-r -last. Wonder if we are going to be
lonesome? H e'll put in a few days
cleaning up Roselands and then we
must to our canvasses."
"An artist, eh? That's what Miss
May had thought as she peered at the
r man's face through a crack in the
shed. He had brought the last of his
Seffects, and was going to stay right
SGEN. LEE AND JEFF DAVIS
y Mrs. Burton Harrison's Description of
the Two Great Leaders of the
SConfederacy.
SOur most Illustrious caller that
spring was the commander-In-chief of
the Army of Northern Virginia. Gen
eral Lee came one evening, and after
a pleasant talk with my mother and
Sme, arose to go, we escorting him to
the front door. It was broad moon
light, and 1 recall as it It were yes
terday, the superb figure of our hero
standing in the little porch without
saying a few last words -as he swng
his military cape around his shol
ders. It did not need my fervid i
agitnation to think him the most no
ble-looking mortal 1 had ever sea.
e As he swept off his hat for a seaod
and final farewell, he bent down and
kissed me. as he often did the girls
be had known from their childhood.
At that time General Lee was iter
ally the idol of the Confersderacy. We
moral grandeur, recognizsed by all
r lifted him into the region where
at
there. Now, then, was she to get out
unseen?
"No rain for a week, and everything
around here wants water?" continued
the man. "We must put the hose on
and wet down. You look out for
tramps and I'll take care of the roses.
And say, Carlo, be a little careful as
to the dogs you get acquainted with
around here. They must be up to the
mark. They say a man is Judged by
his dog. Something in the shed there?
Go and see."
The dog had scented the trespasser,
and now he ran down and stuck his
head into the shed and barked an
alarm.
"Only a cat, old boy," said the man,
"and you needn't drive her away. We
want a cat to make it seem home-like.
May be a coon or a rabbit, from the
way you bark. I'll come down and
help you rustle it out. Here-"
"You needn't put yourself to any
great trouble," said Miss May Shef
field as she appeared in the open
doorway.
"T-thunderl_" eclaimed the art
tat," as he fell back in amazement.
"Sir," said the haughty girl before
him; "you called me a cat!"
"I-I-by no means."
"And you called me a coon!"
"But I-I never meant to."
"And you called me a rabbit!"
"Yes, but you see-"
"And you ordered your dog to hus
tie me out!"
"But I didn't know-*
"And when I am hustled out you
swear at me!"
"But my astonishment-my sur
prise-"
"And now I am expecting a\ blow
-from a club!"
"Miss-yount lady-my dear-"
"But as you haven't hit me, I wish
to thank you for your clemency and
bid you good afternoon!"
And with head held high and the
gait of a duchess, the girl swept the
fluttering man aside and walked to
the gate and up the road. The dog
followed her for a few paces in a
wondering way, and then returned to
his master, to be addressed with:
"Carlo, have we had a pipe dream. I
or have we actually seen the queen of
her sex for 50 miles around?" I
Carlo went down to the shed to see
if anything more like that was linger
ing around, and finding nothing
returned to be asked:
"But who in the devil can she be,
and what in the devil did she want
here? Came on foot and went away
the same way. Can't live so very far
off. No roses out yet Was she after
cuttings? Let's take a look. Why,
here's a bundle of them! We came I
home just in time. She heard us and
went into hiding. Must have known
she was a trespasser and a thief, and
yet how she stood up to ine! Wasn't
that an awful bluff, old man? Well.
Well! There are a few things to be
found before we settle down."
Mr. Tikins was only a day or two
finding out what he wanted to know,
and then he appeared at the Shef
field's, not as a caller, but as a bearer
of burdens. He had three rose bushes.
They were, as be explained to Miss
May, partial repayment for calling
her a cat, a coon and a rabbit If
she still felt aggrieved she might send
father and brother over and dig up
all, but a single bush. He had ex
claimed "thunder!" at the sudden
sight of her, but there were lilies and
tulips and pinks at Roseland, and
would she take them and forget the
word ?
Miss May's chin came down by
degrees, but it came down.
One evening in the late fall the
dog Carlo wasn't so very much
astonished to hear his master say,
after coming home at a late hour:
"Well, my old friend, we'll be go
ing back to town for the winter soon,
but next spring Roselands will sure
have a mistress. It was you that
discovered her, and I want to tell you
how much obliged I am. Heigho!
How she did stand here and bluf!!"
Origin of "Buncombe."
In historic Buncombe county, North
Carolina, was originated the phrase
"talking buncombe," for in this moun
talnous country years ago, CoL. Ed
ward Buncombe founded his famous
I hall, and placed the words "To Bun
combe Hall, Welcome All" over his
I doorway. The expression, "I am talk
I lng for Buncombe," meaning Bun.
combe county, became current here
abouts by home folks, but unregen
erate strangers have used it to signify
political blarney or exaggerated
praise.--"In the Land of the Sky," Joe

Snail Messenger-It's not my fault,

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT
"When my first baby was six
months old he broke out on his head
with little bumps. They would dry
up and leave a scale. Then it would
break out again and it spread all over
his head. All the hair came out and
his head was scaly all over. Then his
face broke out all over in red bumps
and it kept spreading until it was on
his hands and arms. I bought several
boxes of ointment, gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time. He
had it about six months when a rienad
told me about Cuticura. I sent and
got a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent, a
cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to improve.
He began to take long naps and to
stop scratching his head. After taking
two bottles of Resolvent two boxes of
Ointment and three cakes of soap he
was sound and well, and never had
any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out in little curls all over
his head. I don't think anything els
would have cured him except Cuticura
'"1 bhve bought Cuticura Onlatment
and Soap several times since to ue
for cuts and sores and have never
known them to fall to cure what I put
them on. I think Cuticura is a great
remedy and would advise any one to

I have ever used for toilet purpose."

Harm in Too Much Exerce.
Dr. Lawrason Brown and Dr. F. H.
Relse of Saranac Lake, in article
on "Properly Regulated Rest and Ex
ercise in Pulmonary Tuberculosla" In
the June number of the Journal of the
Outdoor Life, holds that the action
of the poisonous germs of this disease
on the body is ver slmilar to that of
overexercise. The poisonous IrritS
tions caused by the germa gives the
organs and tissues of the body a dou
ble load to carry. Drs. Brown and
Heise emphasize the importance of
rest in the treatments of tubereulo
sis, but also insist that properly reg
ulated exercise is very necemssary.
They state their conclusions thus:
"To sum up, exercise when properly
regulated and systemattcally graded
is an important factor in the treat
ment of palmonary tuberculosis.
Through it the patient is In many
cases returned to home and family
with lessened chances of future re

is consequently, financially less de

one occasion, when he had been so

to return in a few days, he allowed
two or three weeks to pass without
