The Boy Who Learned the Way,
Be was very young—about 13—this
boy who spent most of his time in the
studios watching the artists draw ami
paint and wishing he could do the
same.
"What kind of pencils do you use?"
he said one day, and they gave him
one of the kind. That night he tried tc
make a figure he had seen one of the
artists draw, it seemed so easy. But
he could not do the same kind of work.
"Perhaps I haven't the right kind of
paper," he reasoned. "I will get a
piece tomorrow." Even the right kind
of paper did not help him any.
"I need a studio and an easel," was
his next conclusion. "I have the de
sire; surely all I need now are the
necessary surroundings."
A few years of impatient waiting
passed before he secured the "neces
sary surroundings," and when lie had
them all and still found it Impossible
to draw the truth dawned upon hiui.
"I kuow what is wrong," he cried,
throwing down his pencil. "1 know
nothing of the principles of art. 1
must learn then) first."
He was still young when his name as
a great painter was known on two con
tinents. He had learned the "princi
ple." A bit of brown pauer and a
burned match would then enable him
to draw as easily as all the art essen
tials.—Ann I'artlan in Success.

always pays SO. I have gone back the

paid me $5 each time and seemed glad
to see me. I got to know him pretty
well, and the other day I asked him
why he did not pay it all, as I knew he
had the money."
" 'Well,' said the old fellow, 'if I pay
you everything I owe you at one time
you will collect so fast that pretty soon
you will be out of a Job for the want oi
something to collect.'

Gonnod'a Opinions.
Music Is the most beautiful art, but
it is the most detestable profession.
But is not that right? That which be
longs most to heaven should fare worst
on earth.
The public moves much faster than
the Individual, and therefore the indi- \
vldual must place himself before his
age if he desires not to be behind it.
Wagner has some idea of this sort. It
is a necessity which every true artist
must realize. Great men may be said
to be for every age save their own. ;

"Actors of the old school did not

the other night as he ga; ed ;:t the stage
in Ford's Opera House while iu a
reminiscent mood. "I remember once
we were playing southern towns with
Edwin Booth and wanted to put on
'Richard ll.' No special scenery was
carried for this, and I was told to look
over the stock at the theater to see if
there was any lhat could be used.
The second scene called for the en
trance of the king and all liis couriers
Into a royal hall. I picked out a set
of scenery that I thought would do
for the palace, but cautioned the stage
hands not to get it on wrong side out.
Well, the first scene was finished, and
when the stage was disclosed for tlis
second there was the typical old kitch

from the rafters, a candlestick on tiie

Kept the llonnet Compnnj-,
The story of an elderly couple who
lived in a Massachusetts town nearly
50 years ago is told by some of the old
est inhabitants with much unction.
The lady had been bereft of one help
meet, and her second husband had
twice been left a widower before the
pair were united in the bonds of mat
rimony. They were both of that tem
perament which causes its possessor to
be characterized as "set."
On the wedding day the bride found
in the back entry, on a conspicuous
nail, a sunbonnet which had belonged
to her immediate predecessor. She re
moved it to oblivion in a closet.
Her newly wedded husband made no
comment, but replaced the sunbonnet
on its accustomed nail.
During the next few days the calico
headgear vibrated with more or less
regularity between the closet and the
nail. Then there came a day when the
bride approached her husband with a
man's hat in her hand as he was in the
act of reinstalling the sunbonnet.
"If you have that sunbonnet there,"
she said firmly, "I shall hang up my
first husband's hat 011 the next nail."
She looked at the bridegroom and
met the counterpart of her own ex
pression. She hung the hat on the des
ignated nail, and, although the two
people lived to be very old, neither the
hat nor the sunbonnet ever moved
again till the house came into the
hands of a new owner. —Youth's Com

He Didn't Wrlle the Story.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press says that when the late it. E. A.
Dorr was on the staff of the Baltimore
American news came one day to the
city editor that food in the Seven Foot
Knoll lighthouse, out iu Chesapeake
bay, was exhausted and that the keep
er and his family were starving. Dorr
secured a custom house tug and loaded
it with provisions. The weather was ;
exceptionably cold, and the tug was
stuck in the ice half a mile from the )
knoll. Dorr left the boat and started
over the ice.
When he reached the lighthouse, lie
was warmly greeted. "Come in the
dining room," said the keeper's wife
after the rescuer had warmed himself.
"Come in and have dinner with us."
Mr. Dorr thought that hunger had
made her mad. "I heard tha 112 you
needed food," stammered Mr. Dorr as
soon as he could speak.
"Well, come to think of it," replied
the housewife, "we do. We have plen
ty of meat and vegetables, tiour and
that sort, but the next time you are
coming out this way we'd appreciate it
If you'd bring over a few jars of quince
jam," she added cheerfully.
Mr. Dorr took his provisions back to
Baltimore, but no account of his trip
was written.

A young Pittsburgh aro.-e from bis
bed one morning and, dressing, went
down stairs to breakfast. As he sat at
the table he carelessly put his right
band int > bis trousers pocket and was
surpr. Ed to find .$7.25. He knew that
when lie retired for the night lia bad
just 25 cents and had fallen asleep
while wondering where he con! 1 bor
row money the next morning. lie was
highly elai d over the discovery, for,
although he thought long ai: 1 hard,
he could not remember how he bad
come into the possession of the money.
After work that day be took a friend
to the opera and later to supper. When
lie returned home about midnight, a
brother stepped i.to his room and said,
"ilarry. did yo; 1 pay that bill for me
today V"
The young man was almost durn
founded. It all came to him at once.
Shortly after he had retired the pre
vious night his brother had entered the
room and, placing the money in his
trousers pocket, said: "Say, old man,
when you go down town tomorrow, I
wish you would pay Mr. that bill
I owe him. I promised to let him have
it by tomorrow."
The young man was dozing at the
time, and that accounts for his failure
to remember what his brother had said
to him. He was kept busy borrowing
from friends to make up the amount
the next day, and he declares that
hereafter his brother will have to pay
his own bill.s.-Pittsburg Chronicle.
A* She Described It.
It was the first day of school. The
bell bad tapped, and the little children
of the secondary primary were sitting
upright in their seats, hands properly
folded and with round eyes fixed on
the new teacher, taking a mental in

She was a bit nervous. It was ber
first school. The children made her
"fidgety," they stared at her so bard
and watched her so narrowly.
She began to feel like a mouse that

cast about wildly in her mind for some
occupation to begin the first day. She
regretted bitterly that she had not ar
ranged some definite plan of campaign.
Then her face brightened. She would
find out what the children already
knew. Question followed question,
touching on divers subjects.
"Now, who knows what a skeleton
is?" asked the teacher, smiling coax
ingly.

seat waved her hand wildly and work

On one of the most pleasant side
rtreets of Cleveland live two dogs— A
large, dignified iiound and a saucy,
small fox terrier. The two are the
best of friends, and the big dog is al
ways watching over the little one and
doing his best to keep the pert fellow
out of a fight. But the other day his
watchfulness failed. Another terrier
came and yelled defiance at tho
hound's comrade, and when the big
dog arrived upon the scene it was to
behold a frantic, tumbling, snapping
heap, of which his favorite was part.
He seemed to consider the state of
things, then gave a sigh of patient dig
nity and began to walk around the
combatants, keeping a critical eye on
the struggle and evidently acting tho
part of umpire. His favorite was get
ting the worst of it, but he did not in
terfere. Maybe he thought the pun
ishment of defeat was better than any
he could bestow. lie watched silently
till all at once his friend gave a yelp
of real pain and trouble. Then sud
denly the big dog awoke. With a
bound he was beside the other two.
With one tap of his paw he sent the
victor over into the dust, grabbed bis
favorite in his mouth as a cat grabs
her kitten and made off to his own
back yard.
During the next hour he licked, scold
ed and fondled the repentant terrier.
And now the two are more devoted
than ever, though the little dog seems
more meek and decidedly more obedi
ent than of yore. — Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
A Faithful DOR.
Many hundred years ago there lived
at Athens a dog whose faithfulness
has caused him to be mentioned in
history, and in the Grecian city his
story is often repeated.
The dog guarded one of the heathen
temples at Athens. One night a thief
stole into this building and carried off
some of the most valuable treasures.
The dog vainly barked his loudest to
frighten the thief and to rouse the
keepers as the man went off with the
jewels. But the faithful dog did not
mean to lose sight of the rascal, and
all through tlie night he followed him.
By daybreak the poor animal had be
come very weary, but still be kept the
robber in sight. The latter tried to
feed him, and as he made friends with
the passersby he took It from them in
stead. Whenever the thief stopped to
rest the dog remained near him, and
soon a report went through the coun
try of the animal's strange behavior.
The keepers of the temple, hearing
the story, went in search of the dog,
and they found him still at the heels
of the thief at a town called Cronyon.
The robber was arrested, taken back
to Athens and there punished. The
judges were so pleased with the dog's
sagacity and faithfulness that they or
dered him to be fed every day for the
rest of his life at the public expense.
Snre Enough Tale.
In one of the private schools here in
town there is a small boy who is al
ways cheerfully miles be liud every
body else. He is not a dull boy, but
learning does not appeal to him as be
ing a tiling especially to be desired.
Recently the teacher tohl the class in
composition that on the next day she
would expect each of them to be able
to write a short anecdote. She ex
plained with great care the meaning of
the word anecdote, and next day when
she called the class up to write all but
the laggard went at once to work.
"Why don't you write an anecdote,
Rob?" asked the teacher.
"I forget what an anecdote is," said
Rob, undisturbed.
"I explained to you yesterday, Rob,
and you ought to remember," said the
teacher, a bit out of patience. "An
anecdote is a tale. Now write."
Rob bent over his slate and. with
much twisting of brow and writhing
of lip ground out his task. When the
slates were collected, his was at the
very top of the heap. The teacher
picked it up, and this is what she read:
"Yesterday we had soup made from
the anecdote of an ox." —Youth's Com
panion.
The Shoe and the Woman.
Hereupon 1 ventured to reason with
the woman.
"Your conventional immunities," 1
urged, "are not compatible with the
new responsibilities which you seek to
assume. That is where the shoe pinch
es."
The woman gave me a withering
look.
"Pinches!" she exclaimed most scorn
fully. "It's a mile too big! I could
wear two sizes smaller!"
Oh, what a futile thing mere logic
seemed now!— Detroit Journal.

It Worked Well.
"And have you tried the plan of
greeting your husband with kind words
when he comes home late, as I sug

"I have," said the youngish woman,
"and it works like a charm. He stays
home all the time now trying to figure

Karly Use of Plireonn.
Pigeons were employed in early
Egyptian days, navigators taking them
on their galleys and liberating them
when they arrived at their destination
in order to announce their safe arrival
to their friends or employers. The
Romans utilized them in communicat
ion with each other In wnrtlma

Now is the time to be pushing along
the hogs that are to be slaughtered this
winter, says The American Cultivator.
We never found anything that would
put the fat on equal to good cornmeal
or that would make pork more to our
liking. We remember a statement by
Professor Stewart in which he says
that with good hogs and proper feed
ing one should make 8 pounds of pork
from a bushel of raw corn or 10 pounds
from a bushel of raw meal, 12 pounds
from the corn if boiled and 15 pounds
from the meal if boiled. He referred to
live weight, but we think if he had
said dressed weight he would not have
' eeu far from right. And yet our expe

poured boiling water over and stirred
well, allowing it to stand until cool
enough to feed. Whether a more thor
ough cooking would have improved it
we do not know. We think Theodore
Louis, who is very good authority on
pork raising. fav< « boiling the meal
until well cooked, but what a feeder
can do for hundreds of animals might
cost too much for labor and fuel IF
done for a few.
The Boy Aboard Ship,
Mr. Frank T. Bullcn, who was once a
drip boy himself, makes in his book,
"The Men of the Merchants' Service,"
these mournful statements concerning
the sea life of young .laeky:
"Within the memory of middle aged
men a boy 011 board a ship was the
butt, the vicarious sacrifice to all the
accumulated ill temper of the ship. To
day tales are tohl of the treatment of
boys in 'Geordle' colliers that are
enough to make the flesh creep to hear.
111 those days it was the privilege of
every man 011 board to ill treat the boy,
and if, as very often happened, the
poor little wretch died under it— well,
what of it?—it was only a boy.
"And the peculiar part of it all was
that the brutes who did these evil
deeds prided themselves that their ac
tions were right and proper. There
was only one way of training a boy—
with a rope's end if it were handy; if
not, a fist or a boot would do, but he
must be beaten.
"One man whom I shall always re
member, as smart a seaman as ever
trod a ship's deck, heat me until there
was not a square inch of my small
body unbruised. Scarcely a watch
passed that I did not receive some to
ken of his interest in my welfare, and
on two occasions he kicked me with
such violence that with all the will in
the world to obey his orders I was per
fectly helpless. My only wonder is
that he did not kill me.
"Yet when I left the ship he bade me
quite an affectionate farewell, bidding
me remember how lmrd he had labored
for my benefit, that every blow he had
given me was solely aimed at making
me more useful and fitting me for my
duties."
Swindle by Pawn Tlelceta.
The most lucrative game which New
York swindlers work on the credulous
and eager New Yorkers themselves
continues to be the bogus or false
pawn ticket swindle. It is not un
known in Chicago, and it has so many
fine points about it, all of them ap
pealing to the man who loves to make
a few dollars on the side, that the
rogues who work it are never out of
customers. The simplest method is for
the swindler to tell his intended vic
tim he has in pawn a ring or gem worth
SIOO. He claims to have pawned it for
only $25, and rather than lose the
difference between the real value and
the amount for which he pawned it he
will give the customer a rare bargain.
There is $25 due the pawnbroker, be
sides $5 interest, leaving an equity of
S7O. He will sell that equity for just
half, or $35. After the victim has paid
over the $35 and has redeemed the
pledge he finds that the real value of
the article is SSO to SGO and that he is
out $5 to sls. The pawnbroker gets all
he loaned, and the original owner
makes all the victim overpaid.—Chica
go Tribune.
Remlnlacenee of a Thenplan.
At Brighton Beach I hit Mose Rosen
stein, who was organizing a one night
"Faust" company, for a Job.
"What part do you wish to take?" he
inquired shortly.
"I wish to take the place of Mephis
topheles, of course," I answered, draw
ing myself up proudly, for I had on a
new suit of clothes and could afford to
look him in the face.
"And why do you wish to take that
particular part?" he inquired.
I was amazed at his dullness; but,
concealing my disgust as far as possi
ble, I explained that it was because the
devil always gets his dues. He seemed
pleased at my repartee, wrote me out a
SSOO per week contract and paid me
my first week's salary of $7.50 in ad
vance. I played the devil in "Faust"
until nearly the end of the season, after
which I was cast in"The Foundry." a
workingman's play.— lndianapolis Sun.
Her Crltlclam.
Mary Is very stout, quite deaf and
the trusted housemaid of a family In
the East park section. Incidentally she
seems to be something of an art critic.
When she cleans the family rooms, she
is heard to mutter and shake her head
in dusting the pictures, and she seems
to be especially severe on a few repre
sentatives of the "altogether" that
hang In the little den. One day Mary
was flirting her dustcloth about in this
little room when her mistress happened
in. Mary was standing gazing intently
at a beautiful photograph of Bougue
reau's "Cupid and Psyche."
"And phwat pictur' is that?" asked
Mary in hard, cold tones.
"Oh, that is 'Cupid and Psyche,' "
said the lady rather Indifferently.
"Moody and Sankey. is lit? Well, I

"Did you ever get religion?" asked

"Well, I should say so— l3S pounds cf

"A hundred a'nd thirty-eight pounds

did you get that?"
"The only way that a good many
men ever get religion." was the reply;
"I married it."— Chicago Post
