TWO WORRIED PAINTERS.
They Couldn't Suit Customers Who Didn
Understand Art"

They Couldn't Suit Customers Who Didn't
Understand "Art."
They were both well-known New
York portrait painters, and as they
met each noticed that the other seemed
careworn.
You look weary, Joe," observed the
first. "What's up, anyhow"
Il am just as weary as / look" re-
turned the other sourly. "You know
that portrait I'm painting? l finished
it the other day, and showed it to the
mans wife. What do yeu think she
said when she saw it?
''Give it up" returned his friend.
''You know it's three-quarter
picture, and the first thing that struck
her when she saw it was that there
was only one ear of her husband show
ing. She complained about it. She
said her husband had two ears, and
she thought that she ought to see the
other. l argued with her for half an
hour, trying to explain the laws of per-
spective, but it was all fruitless. She
wouldn't or she couldn't understand.
She liked the likeness well enough,
but she insisted upon having the two
ears"
"Wen, what did you do about ito"
asked his friend.
What did do?" repeated the other
solemnly. "Why, 1 saved my bacon;
erased my name from the picture and
painted the second ear on the profile
of the cheek. She was satisfied and
was paid. But it wasn't art"
The other painter laughed.
''I'm having little experience ofmy
own" he said, that's about driving
me insane. I've just finished the por-
trait of well-known young lady.
Her friends are coming up to the studio
every day to inspect it. Her mother
thought that 1 had painted her face
too yellow, and so l made 1t lighter.
Then her grandmother came, and
thought the drapery too low. So /
raised it. Then her aunt came and
criticized the hair as being too brown.
l had Just ightened it,when her cousin
dropped in and insisted that it was
two shades darker. Then as to the
eyes. According to the different
opinions of her relatives and friends
their color must be as variable as that
of the chameleon. 1 have repainted
them three times. and how many more
times I'll have to do SO l don't know.
And so it continues, day after day, and
before that portrait gives satisfaction
1 believe my hair'll be turned gray"
And the worried painter drowned his
sorrows in cocktail-N. Y. Record.

The man who had gone west to grow

BOYCOTTING PULLMAN.
The Great Railroad Tie-Up Ex-
tending in the Country.
All Trains Abandoned That Handle Pullman
Cara Very Serious State of Affairs
"A Disguised Travelling
Public.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 29.-The
strike of the members of the American
Railway union, growing out of the
troubles at Pullman and the hauling of
the cars of the Pullman Co., was put in
organized shape last night at the meet
ing held in Argentine, and every mem.
Der in that city and on the Santa Fe
road was ordered out last night at
midnight to remain until all troubles
are settled.
The men at Argentine obeyed the
order and quit work. Leaders OF the
strike state that the road will be COM
pletely tied up this morning ut this
point and will not be able to move a
train in any direction. There are over
200 men employed on the Santa Fe at
this point.
THE SITUATION AT OMAHA.
OMAHA, Neb. June 29.-The Pullman
boycott trouble is growing more seri-
GUS here, and, though trains were made
up with Pullmans attached, it was
with the assurance that they would be
detached elsewhere out west and never
return till after the strike.
The circular issued by Grand Master
Sovereign, of the Knights of Labor,
puts more complex phase on the sit
uation here. Members of the A. Z. U.
hereabouts have been greatly strength
ened in their boycott by reason of the
pronounced stand taken by the knights
OF Labor, who are unusually strong in
Omaha.
wALKOUT AT ST. LOUIS.
ST. LOUIS, June 29.-No trains have
been interfered with here and all left
on time last night. John Lally, boss
switchmen of the Terminal Railway as
sociation, last evening refused to make
up trains with Pullman cars and was
discharged. Sixty of the switchmen
employed by the Missouri Pacific i'm
mediately walked out and demanded
Lally's restoration and that they be
not required to handle Pullman cars.
A meeting is now in session to decide
whether the other trainmen shall
strike.
AT Los ANGELES.
Los ANGELES, Cal, June 29.-The
railroad tie-up is complete. Both the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe yards
are jammed full of abandoned trains.
In the Santa Fe yards the men refuse
even to switch the incoming trains or

graphic message from President Debs
formally ordering the strike was con-
fscated here Wednesday night.

A REQUEST for troops subject to call
has been forwarded by Secretary
Smith to the secretary of war, on the
ground that prospecting parties are
preparing to overrun the Blackfoot In
dian reservation in Montana. The
communication incloses report of In

the Indian police force will be unable
to keep these parties from the reserva-
ton. The department has determined
to allow no prospecting on the reser-
vation.
ABOUT 200 money order offices will be
established throughout the United
States July 2. OF this number the In

CHAIRMAN WHEELER, of the commit

committee was anxious to secure state
hood for Oklahoma, and that she would
be welcomed to the sisterhood of states
when the time was ripe for her admis-
sion. There was such opposition, how
ever, to the admission of Oklahoma
without the five civilized tribes that
the committee would not attempt to
secure her admission at present. An
effort will be made, it was stated, to
attach the Oklahoma bill as rider to
the other statehood bills when the lat
ter came before the senate, but there
appears to be little hope for success.
ITwas stated on the 2Sth that as soon

One of the largest freighting out fits in the world is used in con nection with the mill at Mammoth property. The distance from the mine to the mill is three miles, all but half a mile down grade. Three teams move 145 tons of ore a day. Each team consists of twenty ani- mals, and they draw four wagons. Three trips are made a day usual ly without doubling-though some times one or two wagons are taken off at the uphill half mile. The wagons are immence affairs, almost as big as box cars. The tires are from four to five inches wide and an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half thick. William Neal, a colored man, is proprietor and manager of the out6ts.-Tucson Citizen.

Judge Baker, although somewhat of a monarch in the court room, has rare faculty of facilitating business as we'll as compelling witness to tell what he knows, even though it is necessary to dispense temporarily with that useful factor in the case the lawyer. His southern in- stinct draws the color line rather closely, as on Thursday he broke a case off in the middle when he found the bogus check had been bet on negro prize fight. This case, said he, ought never to have been brought into court, and a man who bets on such thing ought to lose his money.-Phenix Review.

The late strike made in Santa Maria by Harry Ashton and others has so far proven to be about the richest yet struck in that section. The ledge is located near Beatson's ranch. not far from the group of mines recently bonded by Beckman and others for $25.O0O. The ledge is from three to four feet wide, has been traced several thousand feet, and shows good prospects where ever found. Sample assays from the first location gave a result of $251 per ton, $245.55 of which sum was gold; a short distance from that another sample gave $184 per ton. The locators of the group are Harry Ashton, N. P. Pierce, John Rees and Ralph Dillon.-Courier.

Mexico has a most unique way of of training it's wild men. The idea originated with President Diaz. Instead of beheading those who take up arms against the govern ment, they are sent for and consult ed by the president as to the con- dition of affairs in;the republic, and gwen recommendation at some point away from the scene of their disturbances. The case of Garza IS an illustration.

The American Farmer strongly urges dehorning as a measure of economy, convenience and safety in feeding and shipping, and lis as- serted by one of it's correspondents that the cruelty complained of by these who oppose the system amounts to nothing. Dehorning is accompanied with very little pain and the wound heals quickly. The correspondent says he has seen much more cruelty in his herd caused by one or more vicious an imaIs than there was in their de- horning. The live stock literature on the subject is decidedly favorable to dehorning, but the contention is between the patentees of the ma chine and the acid process.
