LEO NEVER WlNkEp.
How One Dogs Poor Eyesight Caused Him
IIntOld Grief.


For years lion has stood anchored
to the stone pavement of State street
near the corner of Congress. The beas;
is painted red, and when struck with
hard substance gives forth a metallic
sound that tells it is east iron king OF
the forest.
The lion looks straight ahead, as
would be expected of foundry bred
beast. Those who fashioned it tried
to make its expression ferocious by
opening its mouth, and successive coats
of red paint have done the rest.
The image is great JOY to the chill
drcn who happen along that way,
They climb its back and stroke its
name, safe in the assurance that it will
not bite, though the beast is rather
startling to late stragglers who hap
pen by.

lucky sort of dog, but one whose per.
sonal characteristics plainly indicated
he was out for a fight with anything
that walked or stood on four legs.
Suddenly the brindle dog came oppo'
site the red-painted lion. The sport
felt the chain tighten suddenly. He
looked back to ascertain the new cause
for delay.
The brindle bulls eyes were popping
from his head in his anxiety to reach
the red lion. He strained and tugged
at his chain until it seemed his collar
would cut his head off. All the hair or
his back stood up in anger and def
ance, and the game pup" growled 8
defiance to the enemy.
OF course the red lion looked straight
ahead.
Angered to frenzy by this nonchal

AN ARTIST PORTER.
How a French Painter Secured the Mod
for "A Famous Picture.

How a French Painter Secured the Model
for "A Famous Picture.
1t would be interesting to know the
history of many of the beautiful or
strange faces which find their way onto
artists canvas, and become part of ia
nous pictures. An amusing story is
told of the way in which well-known
French artist secured a model of one
of his finest paintings.
He was extremely shabby and un-
tidy in his dress; one day as he was
walking slouchily along the street he
heard a woman's voice behind him call
out: Here, my man, can you carry a
bundle little way for me?"
The artist looked at the lady for a
moment, and discovered that she had a
most beautiful as well as singular face,
he did not explain that he was gen.
tleman, but said Willingly, madam"
and followed her into a shop.
The bundle was large and heavy, but
he lifted it to his shoulder, and fol-
lowed the lady along the street. At
last she mounted to the second story of
house, with the tired porter close be-
hind her, and began to tumble in her
pocket for themoney to pay him.
Pardon me-" said the artist cour-
teously, 81 am not a porter am an
artist; and instead of money l will ask
favor of you, madam-allow me to
make copy of your face.
The bundle was very heavy, and
the compliment you paid to my dress
was somewhat Notifying; but l shall
consider myself well requited if may
send portrait of you to the next eX-
hibition of the academy"
The favor was granted after some
hesitation, and in this way the artist
came by the subject for one of the
most exquisite pictures ever painted by
his brush. 1t is said, however, whether
true or not, that from the day on
which this little episode occurred
dated decided improvement in his
personal appearance and dress, and
that he never again figured on the
street as a porter.-Youth's Compan

more in the darkness.
"And did they make it up right
there in whispers?' asked the younger
girl.
Yes, they did. He said he would
have a carriage out in front of the
hotel next night when the illumina-
tions were going on at the rear, and
she could slip into her room, take
what she could, and join him there. 1t
seems there are some formalities req
uisite in Switzerland before couple
can be married here, IA term of resi-
dence or something of that sort But
this could all be arranged and he had
arranged it."

younger girl who seemed tn have I'M
