Il heard it fall, and I think it rolled
under that centre counter" said one OF
the bystandeTs.
The centre counter was merely a
long table draped with red cotton. The
fioor-walker lR,ed the curtain and re-
vealed mixture of empty boxes, floor
sweepings and refuse Of every sort. He
began to prod around among it with an
umbrella handle, and the woman said
again:
Its only cent, but then Oh,
isn't that il? Motifs something else.
It's a great deal of trouble to take for
cent, but th:n-" She squatted down
on the floor and began to poke around
among the rubbish under the counter
with her fan.
"a cent is only a trifle, but still"
isn't that it down there by that
white box?" asked the interested specta-
tor.
The loser of the cent and the floor
walker made a grab for the object in
question and bumped their heads VIC
lently together.
"Oh, beg your pardon. madam"
Il beg your pardon, sir
Il was mistaken" said the gentle
man. It's just little copper tag Of
some sort"
TITS too much trouble to take for

joined in the search.

mother, who feared the Bohemianism
Of student life but, most of all the female
nude model When she found that he
was bent on art she took him from
school and placed him with the first
decorative painter of Brussels, hoping
in this way to satisfy his artistic pro-
Densities. All her efforts were futile,
however, and he was finally allowed to
follow his beloved vocation.
Mr.. Wauters is a vigorous enemy of
imprsssionism, and while speaking re-
Gently with one of these anarchists Of
art" he said: Il do not know whether it
is you or | who see accurately, but am
persuaded of this, if you were the driver
of steam engine you would cause many

The Du Maurier studies for the "Tril-
by" Illustrations have recently been
placed upon exhibition but they were so
toned down before they appeared in the
book that the similarity is sadly married.
While much of the force of the original
drawings has been lost in finishing them,
thay gain by certain softening Of the
early crudity of lines. In the first picture,
TOO, there is apparent more than in the
novel itself, the lack of care in the work
on the women's countenances and Trilby
labors under faces which might have
found favor a half century ago, but
which are sadly wanting in the modern
ideas of art.

Senator Sherman is exceedingly de-
sirous of ger ing the Cuban resolutions

time and will press consideration. The
senators who are opposing the resolu.
tions are, however, not inclined to fall
in with this ,.esign and there is now no
prospect of an immediate vote on the

the president is likely TO send a message
to the senate on the Cuban question in
response to Senator Hoar's resolution of
inquiry, and if he should do so, u un.
ouCstiOnably win have influence either
