DAUGHTER OF W. D. HowELLs.


Writes Occasionally, but Is Devoted to
Her Palette and Brush.
"She looks more like the daughter Of
an idealist than she does like the daugh.
ter Of realist.' said d gentleman the
other day, speaking of Miss Howells.
Miss Howells is the accepted type Of
the delicate spirituelle dreamer. You
would know she is an artist to look at
her. Therefore 1t does not surprise you
to find that when she was a little girl
OF IL or Whereabouts, when other girls
are making molasses candy and doll
clothes, little winifred was going about
the picture galleries of Europe with her
parents. who were then living abroad.
and for recreation making pictures OF
the saints and angels Of the old master
pieces as she remembered them after
she got home each day. Afterward Mr.
Howells wrote the text for little book
that reproduces these sketches and
called 1t "A Little Girl Among the Old
Masters" You can get 1t in the public
libraries, and 1t has real art interest
for itself as a faithful setting forth of
the influence of beauty and high spirit

friends. She writes some, now and then
a clever society skit, something in the
vein of her fathers one-act comediet-
tas. but her chief interest in life is
picture making. She draws cleverly and
her sensitive artistic temperament gives
to her illustration branch of art to
which thus far she has confined her eff
torts-a distinct character of their own.
Some of her cousins, as the Boston
beauty In high life. Miss Sally Fair
child. are fond of dress and society.
but Miss Howells, while a jolly and
agreeable friend to her circle of inti-
mate acquaintance. cares nothing at
all for society of the Smart" set. Her
studio is a window seat, or any place
where inspiration seizes her pencil. She
frequently accompanies her father. but
oftener upon some excursion into the
Sums or to dinner gotten up EXPRESS

A Munchausenlilse Story of 8 Beheaded
German Criminal.
In an imperial city lately criminal
was condemned to be beheaded who had
a singular itching to play at ninepins
While his sentence was pronouncing he
had the temerity to offer a request to
be permitted to play once more at his
favorite game at the place of execution.
and then be said he would submit
without murmur.
AS tie last prayer Of dying man
his request was granted. When arrived
at the solemn spot he found everything
prepared, the pins being set up and the
bowl ready. He played with no little
earnestness. but the sheriff at length,
aeeing that he showed no inclination to
desist, privately ordered the executioner
to strike tho fatal blow as he stopped
for the bowl.
The executioner did so, and the
head dropped into the culprit's hand as
he raised himself to see what had oc-
CURED. He Immediately aimed at the
nine, conceiving that it was the bowl
which he grasped All nine falling, the
head loudly exclaimed, II have won

such that both teachers and pupils

feelings. But conditions and circum-

mention just one condition this time.
The attendance in many cases is
Irregular and Indifferent. Regular
and punctual attendance is first
essential. The time actually lost is
only part Of the real difficulty. The

all rooms as soon as published:

will be required. Wherever any
