The Painter and the Beauty.

An eminent French painter was re-
Gently commissioned to paint the por-
trait of lady who was once Il famous
beauty, but who is now nearly 80 years
old and devoid of her charms. She
wanted it exhibited in this years Salon,
and fused over il until the artist was
nearly worn out with trouble. Then at
last when it was finished she would not
have it, saying that it was in no sense
a likeness of her and could not be recog-
nizcd as such. The artist consented
TO lose the expected payment and re-
tain the picture in his studio as unsold.
But there was blood in his eyes, and he
vowed big vow TO avenge the insult to
his pride and the injury to his purse So
it came to pass that few days before
the private exhibition at the Salon word
was conveyed to the capricouS lady
that perhaps it would be we'll for her TO
visit his studio as there was picture
there that would interest her. She
went, was admitted, and was shown the
rejected canvas There she still stood
upon it, life-like and life-sized But the
artist had thinned her hair to semi
DdluncSS, anu III one OF ntr nalluS she
held two long tresses of false hair. Up
on the table at her side, which he had
changed into toilet table, were ranged
number of bottles, labeled respective
" with the words: milk of Lilies, >
"Beauty Water" Elixir agains
Wrinkles" "Goden-hair Dye" The
lady cried out that such treatment was
infamous. you have really no com
plant, madam, said the artist. "Yor
have already declared hat the pictur,
is in no sense portrait of yourself
accept your opinion, and, rs | canno
afford to lose so much hard work, ! hav
treated it as fantaise piece, and as sue
shall introduce it TO the public,
mean to call it The Coquet of FIT
Years" What" exclaimed she
"You mean to exhibit t?' "Withou
doubt" But the next moment saw he
on her knees, check book in hand, beg
ging him to sell her the picture at a ia
higher price than was originally stipu
lated. Satisfied, he relcntcd, accepte,
the payment, and obliterated the hate
full accessories; and she took the pictur
home and good lesson with it.

SENSATION IN COURT.
Remarkable Scene in the Trial of the
Slayback- COckerill Civil Suit at
st. Louis.
The Witness on the Stand Armed
with Knife and an Attorney
with a Pistol

ST.. LOUIS Dec. 15.-Yesterday afternoon
John NJ. Glover, attorney, was put on the wit
ness stand to testify in the civil suit brought
by Mrs. Slayback against John A CockerilL
Glover, it will be remembered pub
ished card calling Slayback cow
ard This card was published in The
Post-Dispatch. Slayback called there with the
intention of killing Cockerill for publishingit
but Cockerill got first bead and killed him
On Wednesday Bowman and Glover, respect
lively attorneys for plaintiff and defendant, had
tilt, and Glover choked Bowman. The later
went around after the choking and told people
that he was going to put Glover on the stand
and that if he made a move some one would
get shot Glover was called TO the stand late
yesterday afternoon. He had heard of
Bowman's threat, and as he took the
witness chair he opened a large jack
knife and commenced pairing his nails with it
Bowman put his hand in his breast pocket
where all supposed his revolver rested Thus
armed the attorneys glared at each other.
Bowman in examining the witness was very
careful and never once used an insulting cpl
tibet Glover, on the other hand, while not
using any harsh language, testified il a way
that simply disguised Bowman. He said:
you want to know why l wrote that
card, do you? Well, I'll tell you Stay
back and my father had row. Stay
back called upon my father; and 1 am
told that while the conversation between the
two lasted Slayback had d knife up his sleeve
and stood rr.dy to stab my father. The con-
versation, however, ended without bloodshed
and yet feared for my fathers life. Ealuing
it more than | do my own, took vi his quar-
rel, and when l wrote that card l stood ready

This statement caused profound sensation,
for it was a new development Glover's father
was supported against Vest by the St Louis
delegation when Vest received the nomination
that made him United States senator from
Missouri
