WAS taken to visit Dore once or twice in
his Paris studio many years ago-indeed, be-
fore the German invasion, says Justin Nc
Carthy In the New York Herald. One Of the
party who accompanied me on the first occa-
sion was clever young Englishwoman who
had taste for painting, and who was be-

Dore was working, / think, at the Dream
of Pilates Wife" The young lady did not
like one of his touches, and bluntly told him so.
Dore smiled blandly-what may you not ex-
pect from an English girlf He argued the
point with her-she fancied that he did not
quite understand what she meant-which
think is quite possible. To my horror she sud
denly exclaimed: Look here, this is what I
mean!"-of course, she spoke in French-end
then she seized the brush from the painters
fashion that bit Of the figure on which she
had her own views. Everybody was Mortified
except herself AMI Dore. The painter
took her movement with the most exquisite po-
likeness and the greatest gravity. He studied
the picture carefully with the new and unex-
pected touch given to it-looked at it from this
point aud that, as If It were really a possible
revelation to him-and finally declared that

ONE of the most thoroughly surprised men at
his own election, out of the congressional tidal
wave oflast year, was Hon. Walter H. Butler
| OF Iowa He was out OF employment during
the summer and early part of the fall of that
year. He had been in correspondence with the
trustees Of an educational institution at Mount
| Sterling, ILL., with view to securing position
| In the faculty. The negotiations progressed
favorably and at last reached the point where
Mr.. Butler wrote letter accepting the terms
offered by the board. This he mailed and
waited for reply. None came. Days and
weeks slipped by and not word was heard
from Mount Sterling. About that time the

| willing to be beaten for congress. One
| day as Butler was walking out of the postofflce
| disconsolate at the silence of Mount Sterling a
party leader suggested to him to make the race
| for congress. In moment of desperation he
| consented, and, of course. got the nomination
for the asking The country knows the rest.
He was elected and is now drawing S. 600 year
and mileage. The strangest part Of this story
however, illustrating the mad pranks which
fate plays with mems fortunes, remains to be
told. After his election Mr. Butler received
through she dead-letter Office the letter which
he had written to the parties in Mount Sterling
ILL.,, but which he had mailed to Mount Sterling p

now be an obscure pedagogue instead of a CON

OF her, Although not an apt speaker in public
assemblies, Miss Olive Schreiner is an ami
mated conversationist full of thoughts that
breathe and words that burn, her heart
allow, having been set on fire by nature and

raism not spoilt by literary studies her affa-
bility not checked by successes. The authoress

| when she was a girl of IS, has depicted the
Karoo in far more vivid language than l can
command, and yet it must be seen to be appre-

1900 feet. and were seated to admire the view,
when the barking of the dogs warned us that
some wild animal was IN the rocky ravine just
below. Probably it was jackal or wildcat

the dogs to go after the intruder. OF personal
