as painter but In that's line he could
find nothing to do. nor, it seems any
thing else that would afford him bread
for himself and wife. i
The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, writing to his paper
tells this story of him: - 81
HE was a proud man, and never
told anyone in The tenement where;t
he and hES wife lived how sore were
their needs. Some days he would
bring home a few buns or potatoes.
but he never touched them. They
were for his wife.
When she entreated him to eat
he said he did not like the food. or
that he had not appetite. A; his
meals he took just sip of coffee or q
nble OF cold potato.
His strength and flesh wasted
away so much that his neighbors
noticed his changed appearance.
They heard him mutter to him
self lncoherently as he stood in the
falls. Ii was apparent to them that
LIE Blanc was losing his reason. but
no one knew the cause and he was
too proud to tell.
A serious change for the worse
came over him last week. His story
became known and he was removed
to the insane pavilion of Bellevue"
the hospital he died. This was In the
great city of New York. where millions
of dollars are being wasted almost every
day. and where men and women i'm great
number are still crying for bread, that
themselves and their loved ones might
be saved from starvation.
1t Is Strange condition OF affairs
which fci in, ha o;t,,
In the midst of all its civilization and
enterprise there IS more want and mis-
cry in New York than any other city in
the country. In some sec ions one finds
numbers OF Gods creatures huddled to-
gcther in abject poverty. and starvation
sits at their tables, while just around
the corner, so to speak, there Is wealth
in abundance-,nen and women in gild-
ed palaces who know nothing and care
less for the misery which is around and
about them. 1t is said that no man can
measure the depths of another's woes,
and 1t would seem that there are those
who do not care to. But how is it that
in the great city of New York n man
is permitted to die of starvai ton as was
the case with LIE Blanc? Here was a
man who made known his wants, but
because he was 100 proud to beg he YVES
allowed to starve, and no helping hand
was near.
Those who had work to give turned n
deaf ear to hts pleadings. when small
return for the homes; labor he was an
Nlous to give would have saved him and
his poor wife from worlds of misery,
and in the end death TO himself 1t Is
shame that such thing should be.

 Asheville is a city set upon hill that cannot be hid, very queen of cities that has few rivals on the face of the earth-tne city of the sky in the land of the sky. Here it means more than it does anywhere else on earth---it means a land of attitudes, where the air is pure and invigorating; the skies are blue, and the mountains bluer; the swiftly running rivers cut the valleys as with silver ribbons that shine in the sunlight and have green fringes of overhanging trees; dotting the fields and peeping from the trees, the houses are flecks of white in the beautiful pie ture. This may sound as buncombe to you who have never seen it; it is in Buncombe county, North Carolina, where Asheville is. The highest mountains in view from the city are from twenty to thirty five miles away, and the peaks rise high above the surrounding ranges; Brother Platt has an elevation of 6,246 feet; Platt's Balsam, 6,223; Cold Spring. Shining Rock and Rock Stand each G. 1 200; Junaluska, 6,097; Cold Mountain, 6,063; Stairs, 5000; Pisgah, $500; Crab
 Tree, $500; Buck Spring, 5,2O0; Turkey 1 Creek Pinnacle, 5,100 and a score of 1 lesser attitudes from three to five thou sand feet.
 There are fifty-seven mountains in | western North Carolina that are over l 6000 feet high-very many of therl
 seen from hills of Asheville; Mount Mitchell, the highest and the loftiest
 peak east of the Rockies, has an alti- l tude of 6,711 feet, which fact was deter
