POPE PLAYS JOKE ON ARTIST
Quotes Bible Veree to Verify Genuine
ness of Potralt of Himself execut
ed by an American Painter.
Pope Benedict is known to have a
/pen sense of humor. It has lately
heeu expended ii|mhi an American resi
dent in Rome who thinks himself a
portrait painter, says a Rome corre
spondent.
This gentleman, with the best Inten
tions. asked tin* pope for permission
to paint his portrait, which would
later grace the walls of the Vatican,
ilotigsidc of the masterpieces of the
universe.
The pope granted the request, but
stipulated that lie should give only
one sitting, and that the portrait
should lie finished by help of photo
graphs.
Tile portrait was linlshcd recently.
Tlie artist round it so good that lie
longed to have it shown first In Amer
ica, lest his fellow citizens should re
proach him for hiding such a‘ work of
an in Italy, wiilioiit giving them a
chance of admiring his genius. To this
the pope graciously agreed. But the
artist went further.
As there are so many spurious por
traits of tile pope, would ids holiness
write h few lilies to prove to skeptical
Americans that the artist laid really
painted the masterpiece? The jaipc
promised a few words in a few days.
They arrived. To the painter’s aston
ishment—and chagrin—they proved to
lie from I he 4 iospel of St. Matthew,
chapter They ran: "It is I; lie
not afraid.”
PRICES DURING CIVIL WAR
Sugar $58 a Barrel, Rice $31.38 a Bar
rel, Tobacce, Tea and Coffee Much
Higher Than Now.
High as prices ure, it may lie some
consolation to know Hint they are still
below the Civil war records: Sugar
then sold for $58 n barrel, rice ill
$81..'18 a barrel, tobacco at more than
double the present price, and tea ai
over $100 for a ‘J.Vpouud eliest as
compared with the present price m
about $^(l. Coffee was then four time',
as high as It Is at present, says i.es
lie's.
If the illllicult.v In gelling Imh. o!
sugar makes the American people real
ize we are at war, and Inspires In
them n willingness to follow Mr. Huov
i er's suggestions as to economizing in
the use of eerlnln foods, It will have
1 accomplished some good.
While complaining of food scarcity,
it Is well for our people to know how
little food others have. The German
'atIon contains .41 of a pound of body
building protein as compared with
I I .IIH In the standard ratlou. The Ger
I nan ration Is not sufficient to innlii
"in bodily health ami vigor, but the
population in the occupied ills

on even less than this.
Funds for Liza Jane.
4 long row of husbands sat In a
ricss ball and a sergeant was ou the

front of him from which he.from time
lo time read ex trad*, recites the New
York Times.
“Are you married?”
“1 was married, but I ain’t now.”
“Wife dead?"
“No. she ain't dead, but we had a
mutual separation.''
“Any divorce?"
“No. sir, 1 could not pay for a di
vorre. but It Is all busted up ’tween
us. Please don't put her name down."
Iter name did go down, and Liza
Jane will be astonished when the next
month rolls around and Uncle Sant
bands her nut $15. with a little memo
randum to the effect that this Is an
allotment from her husband, and a lit
tle extra thrown in to help her and
the children. If she lias any. That is
not all. If he dies in battle, she gets
$4,500, or possibly more.

When a father MiM that his son

When he returned the hoy was gone.
He searched and did not And. Then
lie called his wife and both of them

attempts to burn Walla Walla Col

NOME EDITOR FOUND
GUILTY OF SEDITION
NOME, Alaska. Jan . 22.—Bruce
Rogers, editor of the Nome Industrial
Worker, was found guilty today by
a jury in the federal commissioner's
court of a charge of publishing sedi
tious statements. At the opening of
the trial five days ago the commis
sioner ordered the entire Nome Bar
Association to defend Rogers. ' The
Industrial Worker has long been
known as a radical publication. Rog
ers was fined $300 and costs or 150
days in Jail. A stay of judgment was
I granted till Tuesday to give time for
appeal.
SHOE MEN BUSY
ESTABLISHING ALIBIS
CHICAGO, Jan. 22.—The National
[Retail Shoe Dealers’ Association, at
| tended by 2,000 members, met in con
I vention here today and some of them
| were kept busy establishing alibis for
high prices.
John O’Connor, general chairman
of the convention, said that he did not
! really consider that there was a
leather shortage except in grades us
ed for the military—and then he and
his associates explained the why of
$15 and $20 shoe for women and the
$9 and $11 ditto for men. It appear
ed that cotton drilling has gone up
300 per cent to a maximum of 70
cents a yard and that if there were
a pair of feet in the country requiring
a yard of shoe lining 70 cents of the
price was accounted for. Shoe laces
cost $2.60 a gross, and so if your
shoes have a gross of laces with them
it accounts for $2.50 more of the
price. Beeswax, too, is up, but the
cost was ndt analyzed, and it cost*
10 cents more to make eyelets.
“Everything Is Up"
With twenty or thirty eyelets in a
woman’s shoe it was pointed out that
some more of the cost was obvious.
And then, too, there are nails. A
pound of nails costs 8 cents more
than it used to. Figuring the number
of pounds of trails to the shoe runs
the total still higher. 1
“In fact," said Mr. O’Connor, “lab
or and everything is up and shoes
have to follow."
“Men and women," said he, “have
just begun to dress their feet. Shoes
are better made, show, a little beauty
in design and finish. With all this to
consider, shoes have not gon^ up
more than 50 or 60 per cent.”
In England the wqmen are allow
ed a shoe- height of 6 8-4 Inches, and
lit wee suggested that 8 8-4 laches
would he* about right for American
iwomen.'* * •' "
