A MODERN HEROINE.
A Literal Forfeiture From the Descrip-
tiOn In a Popular Novel.

AS many readers of fiction have had
cause to complain, authors and artists often
work at cross purposes, and the novelist s
eloquent conception Of the heroine's per-
sonal attributes is but family Swallowed
forth in the artists lines. To show how q
heroine of romantic fiction actually looks
our esteemed contemporary, The Path
finder, handed to realistic artist a chap
ter from popular novel with instructions
to make literal portrait Of the heroine
Here are the eloquent words of the au-
thor from which the faithful portrait was
drawn:
belinda was the fairest of earth's
daughters. Her shapely head was nodded
in the form of a perfect oval, poised grace
fully on q swanlike neck Her delicate.
shell-like ears looked fragile as the thin.

The suggestion OF Senator Dubois
that ''the restoration of wool to the

That journal reminds the western sem
ator that wool duties cannot be re-
stored without a restoration Of the
Mckinley taxes on wooden manu-
features, and that this is likely to
prove difficult task.
Not only difficult but impossible for
two years to come, with the senate

perience we have had with free wool
has proved it to be for the advantage
alike Of the growers Of wool, tho man

getting more clothing. better clothing
and cheaper clothing-with excellence
and durability as the test. The price
OF domestic wool is advancing at the
