Seranton is to have a treat In the

bad spmethlng in that line before nnd
there are ladles here who yet bewail
the cash spent on lectures that never
were lectured and pictures that may
be still turned toward the wall for all
the victimized aspirants afier true art
can assert. They have been a little
coy about art ever since, liut this is
different nnd it is a great pleasure to
announce that a genuine series of art
lectures are to bo given in St. Luke's
parish liall in November by the well
known artist, lecturer and teacher.

HER POINT OF VIEW
Good-natured people who go abroad
are frequently the victims of their own
amiability and their friends. The lat
ter are sure to Impose all sorts of com
missions on the tourists, who 11 ml
thmselves much hampered thereby.
These friends are certain to want the
most Impossible things, ranging from
live stock to some unobtainable object
of historical Importance.
There was one young person who
was very much elated over her pros
pective tour and who, In the exuber
ance of her enthusiasm, promised all
the people she knt-w everything they
suggested as desiring to ha'-e her
bring to them. She went blithely
away on her Journey and enjoyed every
minute of It, after the manner of good
natuied people, entirely oblivious of
her promises. It was not until she
was about to return home thnt she
chanced to recall the fact that some
where In her trunks was a list of arti
cles she had solemnly agreed to con
vey to many waiting friends. She hur
riedly searched for the list. Good
natured people are always in a hurry
for they Invariably take so much more
upon themselves than Is expected of
them or that they have any right to
attempt and spend so much time lis
tening to borys thai the days and
nights aren't long enough for th -i Hut
this is 11 digiesslon. Our youns wo
man did. for a wonder, tlnd the desired
memoranda after much trouble; for
good-natured people can't stop to keep
an orderly condition of their mortal
affairs, and the foigotten data ap
palled her. The largest Item she bad
contracted to take home was a certain
brand of Percheron horse wiil-h she
was to secure In a paitlculnr part of
Xormandy. This was for a kind old
uncle In the country who had been lib
eral In his birthday remembrances
since the date of her first. Xow she
had been In Xormandv and had feast
ed her happy eyes on the real laud
scapes that hung on the walls of gal
leries at home and had walked over
ground full of the romance of history
that had made Knglmul and the Xew
World and all that In them Is. Iltr
eyes were alight with the glamour of
the past and the panorama at the pres
ent, nnd the big dappled grev horses
she saw only as a part of the Ineffably
lovely lnndscnpe.
r
Xow, In the colder light of a Paris
ian morning, she suddenly thought
Imw absurd it was of Uncle Joe to
Imagine that she, In a thr. r.icntn'.'
tour could bother to look up a horse
and Import the same to the land 1 t
the free. Why it would be like a huge
speckled elephant. Of course, It was
absurd, and then she wouldn't listen
to the little hateful interpolation ot
conscience, that if she hadn't been so
swift to promise absurd things she
wouldn't have this bad quarter of n
hour; for certainly Uncle Joe had Imv.i
a dear, and she turned a sapphire and
diamond ring round her linger some
what nervously as she mused. Well
she must get something else, that was
all. und Uncle Jon must be content.
Then, oh, deal! The very next thing
on the list was a certain point of the
Monn LImi in a particular shrine
frame to be found only In Florence und
in u certain simp. In Florence our
tourist had spent most of the time In
the Ulllzl and she hud revelled in the
jlch treasures of art to be found In tho
rare old city and never onco had she
thought of tho Mona Lisa. "Hateful
old thing anyway," she said to hoi
self. "1 never could bear her with
those catty eyes of hois look'.tu al
ways round a corner. I wouldn't have
her watching me no, not even If I

SLEEPLESS, WASTING NIGHTS LEAVE YOU HAGGARD AND WORN. A DEADLY OPPRESSION SETTLES'

GAINED, THEN THE BLOOD WILL NOURISH AND MIND AND BODY RECOVER.
PAINE'S
eiery
Compound
Rev. T. F. Staut'fer, Lincoln, Neb., writes : "For nearly a year past I have felt myself running down. My nervous
system was gradually growing worse: I was troubled a good deal with insomnia. I felt that something must be done,
and concluded to use Paine's Celery Compound. After the first few days' use I began to improve : now I feel like my
self once more. I can sleep well, my nervous system is rapidly improving, and I believe a radical cure is being effected.
Paine's Celery Compound is a splendid remedy, and I can conscientiously commend it to the suffering in like cases."
on the list wa.s a certain print of the
Louvre. 1 don't see why Mrs. A. was
so fussy about that special print.
There is no use trying to delude her
with one I could run out and buy here,
nnd I don't suppose one of these m isales
would do Instead." For Mrs. A. was
her mother's dearest friend, an nu
thrlty on nrt, who knew her Kurope
and was an adept In explaining the
value of early prints.
And so It ran down the list. She
had promised a dock finni Xurem
bery, a tailless Manx kitten, a s ii -s
of cameos of the Augustine emperors
in miniature to be seemed only In
Home, und various other articles sim
ply out of the fplestiou to proctile now.
Oh, the poor, good-nntured gltl! How
Kbe suffered for her amiability!
So she went out in desperation and
bought gloves boxes of them dozens
of them. She bought all sizes and col
01s. Gloves for Uncle Joe, who never
wore them: gloves for .Mis. A., who al
ways wore a particular kind, Imported
specially for herself, and those the gill
bought weren't that kind; she bought
gloves for the people who had asked
lier to choose stockings, Jewels, real
lace and corsets for them; she bought
gloves for the sister who desired her
to ransack France for a real Xapoleon
plate, and she bought gloves tor the
other girl who wanted a set of photo
gravures of UngllsU inthedrals pur
chased on the spot. Oh, the good
natured girl had troubles of her own.
tiood-uatured people nre occasionally
men. They are the ones who get scold
ed by their wives for being so polite to
other people. They are generally very
nice men, Indeed, I saw one tho other
day who had been 11 martyr to his
amiability. He was Mr. Oerwlg. tho
private secretary of (lovernor Stone,
who has Just returned from a trip
abroad with the governor's daughters.
Kveryhody likes Sir. Qerwig and he
never seems to mind the trouble he Is
given by others. That morning he
was discovered deeply absorbed in a
task which vastly surprised a visitor
to his nlllce. She Immediately ejneu
later. "Hear me! .Mr. Gerwlg. you
don't look in the least like a man who
would be interested In making a mon
ogram fan." "Well, It Isn't Just that,"
he replied, wuailly; "I don't know
what a monogram fan Is but I know
0110 thing, that this Is a blessed sight
more bother than anybody would be
lieve." He was cutting the letter
heads from note paper and he had a
stack of crests, coats-of-ariii", seals,
addresses, etc.. that would lmve driven
a inouogiain-fuii gltl out of her mind
with delight. "The fact is." he ex
plained, "a friend of mine asked me to
bring a lutter head from every hotel
where wo stopped on the other side.
Indeed I wns requested to get two of
each for another filutpl. This Is the
result." Ami he pointed solemnly to
tho heap of scraps, adding: "And there
aro (juarts nnd uuarts ot others "

friend was another man.

MUSICAL NOTES.
A few good reasons why music stu
dents (who have the means) should
take private lessons In preference to
class Instruction:
In the first place, private Instruction
Is more desirable because, by It, musi
cal knowledge Is gained much more
quickly.
In private lessons the pupil has the
dlteet and undivided attention 'of the
teacher during the whole lesson hour:
therefore, more knowledge Is imparted
In a given time. Heal progress cannot
take place without knowledge; knowl
edge gives confidence; knowledge and
confidence linked with practice begets
and developes ability to its highest
proficiency; this proficiency Is greatly
deslied by all diligent students and is
more quickly uttnlueil by private In
struction. In the second place, private Instruc
tion Is to be desired In preference to
class lessons, because in n class of
young students, w here singing or play
ing Is done mostly simultaneously, the
pupils nre liable to Imitate each other's
faults and mistakes, which are more
numerous than their excellencies:
faults are more easily caught than
cured. Whereas In private work the
pupil never hears the faults of others:
therefore, u student should unhesitat
ingly take pi I vale Instruction In pref
erence to class lessons. Another reason
Is because most ot our leading music
ians and soloists received their Instruc
tion privately. Therefore It is very
plain, und wo must admit that the best
and most rapid way to attain the high
est proficiency possible In music, either
singing or playing. Is by private In
struction. .

The Conservatory of Music Inaugur
ates several Improvements this year,
prominent among them being the en
largement of the scope of the ulrndy
admirable class-system In teaching the
piano, as used for decades In the con
servatories of the world, by the use of
several pianos In the class-room. This
plan furnishes each student purtlelpat
lii!; In the lesson with a piano for his
exclusive use during the hour, and the
pupils having been carefully graded,
tlie technical work and studies may h"
performed by all the pupils at the n:im
time, thus furnishing all of the ad
vantages of concerted work In music,
such as accuracy In time, broad musi
cal effects, and the highest type of en
thusiasm, namely, that which several
persons earnestly busied with the same
work engender. This plan has been,
and Is being, used elsewhere with the
most remarkable success, and Director
Pennington Is more than delighted
with the results already attained,
