Her Own Artist.

Artists sometimes have amusing eX-
peTiences with some Of their patrons
who have no knowledge Of art and no
love for 1t, and who buy pictures simply
because other people have them.
One Of the best-knOwn of Eastern ar
lists says that he was once visited In
his studio by a showily dressed and
loud-voiced woman, who said, "You give
lessons in painting, don't yOu?"
The artist said that he did, when his
visitor, seating herself for a further con
ference, explained herself thus

draw well when I was a girl.
Another artist says that while In Vi
emma he was once waited upon by q
woman who said she wanted three
paintings for her parlOr.
sIm not particular about the sub
jects, but I want them to be about 2 by

CHAPTER XIII.
DU1cIE Or TorNErrE?

DULCIE OR TOINETTEg
The man of God stared in amazement
as his startled glance fell full upon tn
lovely young girl. Hers was not a face
to be forgotten.

marriage?" he exclaimed. Or are yoT

mony?"
@The bride" Toinette answered, firmly
Then, turning to the servant, who still
fingered at the door, she added:
Bring your master here. At once!"
Philip came. he gave a start of recog-
milton on seeing the aged clergyman
standing in the room; but before he could
speak TOinette glided up to him and laid
her trembling hand on his arm.

He was amazed that his supposed wife
should cling SO persistently to an idle
whim. But there could be no harm IN
humOring her. On his own side there
was only the natural aversion to the rep
etition of a useless ceremony to over

Getting aLiyfng.-

There are in this world, great many
ways of getting-I don't say earning,
you will OBSERVE living. The follow
ing incident was related to me the.
other day by a friend who vOuched for
it being strictly true. Says the ATbG4l.
SdGU ITHUe[eT:
One day last summer, a poorly
dressed woman made her appearance
at one of the SWEETEST boarding houses
on Wabash avenue, and telling pit
ifu1 story of restitution and need, asked
for the food scraps, the daily leavings
of the table As the boarding house
was one where the boarders did not toll
crate Warmed-Over grub, and as the
lady who kept it was a kind-hearted
person, she told the woman to come
each day and she would give her what
she asked for. The woman mumbled
her thanks and departed. On the fol-
lowing day, however, she made her ap-
pearance, and was given a, large basket
of food; and SO on for months, she con-
tinued to come daily, and always went
away full-handed. But one daY it so
happened that when the kind-hearted
landlady was filing her basket for her,
the agent from whom she rented the
house happened to call for the rent.
He eyed the beggar woman keenIy as
she stood waiting for her basket to
be filed, but said nothing until she
had taken her departure. Then he
turned to the lady Of the house and
said:
"DO you know that woman %
"NO, - replied the landIady. "I do
not know her name. But she is very
poor and I have been giving her the
leavings of my table for long time.
| She seems very glad to get even that.
well, replied the agent, "I,l tell
you something that, evidently, you
don't know. That poor beggar woman
| Is your landlady."
my landlady!" echoed the woman
in astonishment. What do you
| mean 2"
"Just what Z say" coolIy replied the
! agent. "She is your landiady to put it
/ plainly, she owns this property and /,
as her agent, turn over to her each
/ month the rent which you pay to me
/ for this house. She has two other
/ pieces of property, besides this, that I
! know of, and she and her husband are
! worth not less than forty thousand dol
/ lars"
"Her husband {" exclaimed the now
/ uCELI1Gu BOdLOl4ls3 NOUS h6SJ0Ls 4
did not know she had a husband; she
told me she had none"
"Quite likely" responded the agent,
"but I happen to know that she has a
husband, and a big, strapping fellow
he is, too. He is section boss on the
Alton road and is getting good wages.
They, I mean this woman and hel
husband, keep a boarding house them
selves, and this grub that you have SC
kindly been giving to her, has gone g
long ways toward feeding her Owl
bOarders, who being only section hands
on the railroad, are not, perhaps, 81
hard to please as yours. But" con
Guided the agent laughing, Having
seen me here, I don't think she vii
trouble you any more. And he was
right. She never showed up at tina
boarding house again.

twenty delegates.
On the same day letters were dispatch

the safety, honor and good faith Of the
United States, to require the immediate
attendance of their members. 1t was not,
however, until the 14th of January, 1884,
that the treaty could be ratified by the
requisite number of nine states. When
this took place there were present but
three-and-twenty members. To this

A FRENCH FOURTH"

1t Happens to Be Celebrated on the 14th
of July.
The Bastile was captured by the people
of Paris, July IA, 1880; so that is "Inde-
pendence day" in France, and merry
day they make of it. The stones of the
Bastile were consecrated to the service
Of the Pont de la Concorde, one of the
most noted bridges of the Seine. The
site of the BastiIe is now marked by the
lofty Column of July, on whose summit
stands the gilded figure of Liberty, bear
ing a torch in one hand and in the other
a broken chain.
1t is not strange that the French re-
public has selected the memorable day
of the taking of the Bastile for its ma
tional fete. By day Paris is alive with
the tremulous color Of floating flags.
By night the city is ablaze with light.
The Seine CLEANS like a rainbow hued
ribbon with the reflections from the
bridges, the little boats leaving trails of
light behind them, and yellow lanterns
that hang like great golden oranges from
the trees on it's banks. The palace and
gardens of the Trocadero rise out of the
darkness like scene of enchantment
from the "Arabian Nights" From the
Champ de Mars, opposite, hundreds Of
thousands of people are gathered to see
it, and to enjoy the magnificent fire.

gardens-goldsn visions, that CLEAN for
a moment and pass away.
One thing is especially to be observed
There are no tubs of lemonade, bush
els of cake and pounds of candy distrib-
uted, such as make SO important part
Of a Fourth of July celebration in this
country. The hungry children run to
their mothers, who have ambushed in
their pockets a petit pain, or as great
treat, a brioche, which is softer and
sweeter than the dry roll But the chill
dren seem just as happy as young Amer
leans, and perhaps on the next day are
even happier.-Mary Gay HUMPHREYS in

popular excitement was intense, and

was to announce the fate of the BILL

CHANGES In THE FLAG.
TWO BITS OF LAW ON AN INTER-
ESTING SUBJECT.

Thirteen Flags at the start-Number Grad
ually Reduced-By 1913 There Were
Too Many States to Have q Stripe for
Each.
At the beginning all was chaos in the
flag business of the Revolution. Each
colony used its own flag till the regular
armies were formed; then special army
flags were used, and by and by sort OF
uniformity became apparent. Finally,
after much discussion, the continental
congress on the 14th Of June, 1777, passed
this resolution:
Resolved That the flag Of the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white
that the union be thirteen stars white, In blue
field, representing new constellation.
This was confirmed by the first con-
gress under the constitution, but the ad-.
mission into the Union, after the estab-
lishment of the present government, OF
Vermont and Kentucky as new states
caused the number of stars and stripes
to be increased to fifteen each, and the
subsequent addition of five other states
led to the following enactment. which is
yet in force, approved on the 4th OF
April, 1918:
An act to establish the flag Of the United States
Be it enacted by the senate and house of repre-
sentatives Of the United States Of America in con-
gress assembled, That from and after the 4th day
of July next the flag of the United States be thir
teen horizontal stripes, alternate red and white;
that the union be twenty stars, white in a blue
field
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted. That on the
admission Of every new state into the Union one
star be added to the union Of the flag; and that
such addition shall take effect on the 18th day Of
July then next succeeding such admission
So there really isn't much law on the
subject, and if you want to use a flag
with only the original thirteen stars on it,
no ones patriotic feelings will be hurt.
And whenever an American sees this
glorious ensign of his country, the stripes
recall to his mind the birth of the repub-
lie, with the events that surrounded it,;
the stars suggest its wonderful develop
ment in size, in resources and in power;
and, in homage to the national grandeur
and protective authority which it repre-
sents, wherever he beholds it-whether
in mid-ocean floating at the head Of a
passing ship, or waved aloft in the streets
of foreign Landslide lifts his hat to It
with patriotic feeling of filial love and
pride.
