MR.. PLATT'S LITTLE JOKE.
The Eject OF senator shcrman's Hat on
tho TIoga Chieftain.


!. the Tioga Chieftain.
Ex-senator Thomas G. Platt has been
photographed and sketched. His counter
felt prescntment has been before the public
In Autographs and in newspaper portraits.
The cartoonists have shown him In every
conceivable light as their grotcsque fan
cies suggested him to them. None of thesa
pictures of tho ox senator satisfied his sons,
Frank H. Platt and Harry B Platt, who
insisted that their fathor should sit for his
portrait In OIL Mr.. Platt yielded 10 their
urgent solicitation and consented to pose
for G.. A.. Whipple, the artist who has
painted the portraits of ex-Presidcnt Har.
rison and so many other political celebri'
ties Mr.. Plstt has had seven sittings, and
the portrait is nearly completed.
A good story Is told of Mr.. Platt's first
days experience in Mr.. Whipple's studio
His sons made arrangements with the Grt-
ist as Co the style of portrait they wanted.
The ex-senator knew nothing about 1t and
asked the artist what he wanted Of him.
~ understand it is TO be n three quarters
portrait, said Mr.. Whipple.
"Three- quarters! What is that like?"
asked Mr.. Platt.
"Like this" said the nrtist as ho
brought out completed portrait OF Sem
ator John Sherman of Ohio on which ho
had been working.
Mr. Platt looked up and saw the well
known features Of the Ohio statesman who
had said SO many unkind things about
him In his book of memoirs, recently pub
lished, and he exclaimed In mock horror:
"Takc IL away Take IL awayp'
Mr.. Whipple, whose only interest In pol
itics is confined to painting the portraits
of politicians, was startled and quickly
complied with the request.
$50 that's three quarters portrait, Is
it?" said Mr. Platt. "You pa>nt all but
the feet Of an Ohio man and have the other
quarter of him out Of the picture"
1t was cold day, and Mr. Platt had
ridden TO the studio on an open Sixth av-
enue car. He had turned up his coat col
lar as a protection against the chill breeze.
On entering the artists workshop he sup
posed he had turned his collar down, but
IL was still standing behind his neck when
nc sat down to pose for the preliminary
sketch. Mr. Whipple noticed this and
Walking over TO his subject adjusted the
garment
well, well," remarked Mr.. Platt, 81
wouldn't have believed that sight OF
John Sherman's portrait would have raised
my choler like that"
This little joke put the artist at his ease,
and he has had n very enjoyable time in
his subsequent experiences with his dis.
tinguished sitter. New York Sun.

The GOSPEL TRUTH.
.. A. Strong will 30
Able to Preach.
HIS EXPERIENCE ONE OF
UNUSUAL INTEREST.

For thc good Of humanity and tho
praise of God, Mr.. ID. A. Strong, Of
South Manchester, Conn, tells his re-
markablc experience. He Is a native
of Connecticut, and had been preach
ing tho gospel and teaching through
out that State for thirty years, until
about six years ago, when his health
became so poor that lac had to give up
both. Ho was advised to try outdoor
work, and went TO live on little farm
In South Manchester. He says: "A
few weeks ago / had no faith in any
medicine or in any doctor. Mytroublc
was said to be epilepsy, but / have
always thought that Indigestion, to-
gcther with constipation, were tho
causes of all my suffering, for in my
family there has nevor been case of
epilepsy or fits Of any kind.
about five years ago, while eating
breakfast, was suddenly taken with
faintncss. Ny head fell back, and /
and put to bed. This continued at
intervals, until / had about given up
hope. l tried everything, at least
everything that was recommended to-
me, and aside from the kind dealings
of loving Heavenly Father, received
no help. even tried electricity, but
in spite of 1t all l was not able to
leave the house. and it seemed as
though must give up entirely.
"One day, my wife, noticing tho
Puritana advertisement, called my
attention to 1t. AS it seemed to meet
my case, concluded to try it. / did
SO, and fi.mly believe that God sent
me Puritana, for it has performed
wonders.
To-day am working in tho field,
and can cat and sleep as of old. I
am convinced that In a short time
shall be able once moro to preach
Gods word, which has been my do
sire ever since my affiiction.
81 wish to add that there Is no
medicine in the world that / would
take to-day outside Of Puritana."

To the Editor Of The Sun:
SIR-My attention has been called to a
letter from Newport published in the New
York Journal Of Friday purporting to
describe tho circumstances under which
Mr.. Vanderbilt's illness began. The as
sertions made in this communication arc
so absolutely false and unfounded that, in
justice to Mr.. Vanderbilt and his son,

morning of July IA. 1 had just made my

Jr., who had been under my care for sew

his room. went, as was my custom, to
Mr.. Vanderbilt's sitting room TO report to
him his sons condition. Mrs. Vanderbilt

hear of his continued improvement. told

Mr.. Vanderbilt had returned from New

son. During tho conversation with me his
demeanor was perfectly calm and digni-

A QUESTION OF THE DAY.
How Are We TO Withstand the Cheap
Labor Of Japan?

''I was In ono Of tho principal hotels in
San Francisco lately" said Mr.. ID. Il. Ed
gar of Boston at tho Hotel Page, "and
happened To pass large, brilliantly light
eel room where a drummer was displaying
a tremendous exhibit of brushes of every
sort known TO the trade - hairbrushcs,
backing brushes, clothesbrushcs, and, in
short, a complete collection ! was inter-
ested in the display and engaged the drum
mer In conversation. He was n bright
young fellow and native of New Eng
land.
"He showed me handsome hairbrush,
solid back, we made, and asked me what
/ supposed he could sell them for. 1 was
astonished when he named S3. 90 per dozen
as his jobbing price Where on earth do
you get theiny said i, and he answered,
In Japan
"1hese brushes he continued, could
not be produced In this country at 90. 90
per dozen, but my profit at 81. so Is more
than I'd care TO admit. i am going all
over the country taking orders, and I'll
make all the money need for long time
on this trip
"Now, what can we do In tho face OF
such competltionY How can the United
States protect itself against the products
of country whore 10 cents day Is "a high
price for labor? Frankly, don't see any
way To beat the gamc of the smart and
initiative 0fientals, for you can't make
tariff high enough TO Offset the difference
between labor which commands So "a day
and that which Is content with COM
pensation of 10 cents. In this rapidly
growing ability OF tho Japs 20 compete
with our own people lies question Of
more magnitude than free silver or any
other economic question of the day. -

The third Friday in April has been
designated by the governor as Arbor
day.
Mrs. A. j. Peavey, state superintend-
ent OF public instruction. addresses the
following remarks to the school children
OF Colorado: Every pupil should be
made to feel sympathetic interest in
all that belongs to the good name or the
beauty of his school. his town. his county,
or his state. AS our eighth annual
celebration o. Arbor day approaches, it
is especially appropriate for. the pupil to
realize that all this country in its
physical aspects is, in certain sense,
his own possession. The mountains will
seem to have nobler grandeur, the
rivers and lakes will appear more glori-
Gus, the plains and prairies more e1-
teTsive, the valleys more lovely, the trees
more majestic, and the flowers more
beautiful, il he is taught to feel that in
the planting of trees, shrubs and foweA
he is instrumental in helping to beautify
and develop his own environments. Let
him feel that in natures school the door
stands open day and night. Instruction
is free. and the invitation is UNIVERSAL
lessons are suited to every capacity.
Teach the pupil that the tree that bears
the leaves will not die; its roots are in
the earth. They take hold Of a life be-
yond; they go deeper than winter, and
in their out-reaching and down going
will touch next summer. Hidden away
in the branches above are also budding
promises, full OF the sure hope OF succeed
ing life. Let him feel that these dccora-
tions in their beauty tell OF day only a
little distant, when the earth shall be-
come scene OF unfolding beauty. They
are almost human in their utterances;
they tell story all love to hear. and as
their grateful shade shelters from a
burning sun. or their sweet perfume fills
the air the pupil may be inspired to "go
forth under the open sky and list to
natures teachings"
