How Two Painters peenmo Acquainted.

How Two Painters Becnmo Acquainted.
When In HARLEM, Vandyke called
upon Frank Halls, and without making
himself known said that he was anxious
to have his portrait painted, but as lie
was in a great hurry he could spare but
two hours, at the end of which the por-
trait must bo done. Halls went to work
and finished it, and Vandyke was much
pleased. But portrait painting seemed
very little thing, said Vandyke, and
he asked Halls to change places with
him. Halls did so, and as Vandyke fin
ished his work Halls hugged him enthu-
siastically, saying: "You are Vandyke.
No one but he can do what you have
done" And SO the two great masters
became acquainted.-Harpers Young
People.

MRS. .HARRIS0N'S HEALTH
Alarming Reports Of Her 0ondi-
tion Unwarranted. f."
NO FEAR OF A FATAL RESULT.

Her Condition No Worse Than Any
Ordinary Case of Tubercuiar Dis
ease, Though She Is Somewhat
Weaker.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Sensational re-
ports were current yesterday afternoon
representing Mrs. Harrison to be in
danger of immediate death, that on
Monday night change for the worse
had set in, and that the days were filed
with the deepest anxiety for the president
and his family. 1t is true that Mrs. Har-
rison's condition does not improve, and
that gradually she is growing weaker,
but Private Secretary Halford says there
is no foundation for the sensational tinge
given the reports.
So far as the family can see, Mrs. Har-
rison is no weaker today than she was
yesterday, and they apprehend no i'm
mediate change for the worse. Mr. Rus
sell Harrison is in New York, the nurse
was out for half the day, the president
yesterday took longer ride than he had
for some days previously, all of which
tend to dis, ,rove the impression that the
end is near. The complications that ex-
listed at Loon Lake are no longer present,
and unless they should return the case, it
is expected, will prove to be different in
no way from that of any other patient
afflicted with tubercular disease.

the old and the steadfast friendship existing
between the two countries, will only say
that. by honoring the memory of her lllustri-
