THE LIGHTNING ARTIST.
Draws a Large Crowd of Ladies
And Astonishes Them.

For some DAYS past, Professor Hurley,
the lightning artist, has been at JOSke' S
and has aStonished the public by the ra-
piditv with which he has executed some
very effective landscapes. He takes a
plain white Stretcher and in less than ten
minutes he produces landscapes in oil

to finish and then he would not have the
artistic aud natural effect Uf Hurley S

Crowds were drawn daily who watched
the artists marvellous work and as 1t was
incOnvenient and undesirable for ladies
TO stand in such motley crowd, MeSsrS
JOSke'S Brothers cOurteOuSIy arranged
for Mr.. Hurley to work in one of the
speciouS show rooms of the firm and in
vited ladies to be present at the exhibit

ton, were cOurteOuSly received and &C.

his appearance and painted nu-
merable pictures in many designs and
with equally many varied effects. Many
ladies had the pleasing and novel eX
periencc of seeing a picture painted and
of carrying it away with them handsome

oh woman dear! divine and true.
How in your "teenS" you tease,
Aud though YOU badly tempt us oft
Wis hard to get a squeeze.
But as old maid. or widow young,
You're less reserved and gay.
And If there's kissing to be done
You'll meet us then half way.
Thus ripe fruit falls
As Nature calls,
And CuPid catches in trice.
Fen thoTgh man pays the usual price
OF welded bliss
For that love kiss
In any case. Yum. Yum.-'tiS nice.

Mayor Potter's health continues SO
poor that he could not get down to the
Office to-day. He Is no worse, but as the
present kind of weather Is not especially
adapted TO recovery from grip or malarial
troubles, he remains on the safe side at
home.
DIR. Chaplin continues to improve, his
temperature being normal nearly all the
time at present. His recovery is neces-
sarily slow, owing to the long, tedious
run Of the fever. but IL he has the pa
thence to wait anu not overtax himself,
his physicians are confident he will pull
out all right.
