Artistic Pictures for All,

There is no question about what
Boston paper leads in the matter of
beauty of illustrations, because the
Sunday Journal has become SO pop.
ular throughout New England that
It's visits are welcome in every house
hold. Halt tone pictures are printed
regularly in no other Boston paper,
but the journal gives in each issue
such collection Of really artistic and
timely pictures that each number
proves the equivalent of richly il.
Illustrated magazine. Ladies have the
latest and most fashionable dresses
shown from actual photographs. BIZ
cyclists see the famous racers Of the
day photographed especially for the
journal. Athletes find in each num-
berl pictures of special interest to
them, supplemeDting the daily Jour
nal, which publishes the best sport
ing department in Boston. Add to
these features the publication of more
columns of live news than is given in
any Sunday paper in New England,
and one understands the popularity
of the journal.
The two great novels-"An Army
Wife," by Capt. Charles King, and
"Rodney Stone," by DIR. A. Conan
Doyle-are strong features of each
Sunday Journal, and they will be
followed by others Of equal interest.

That sterling old democrat, ex-Chief
Justice Jeremiah s. Black, once said of
Pattison: THAT young man is dream
ing of the presidency, and is taking good
care never to do anything that will
be quoted against him in federal pol
itics.''
Mr.. Pattison is strikingly handsome
man. He is 8 feet 2H inches in
height, straight as an arrow, and
weighs 200 pounds. His features are.
regular and his bright expressive eyes
light up his intellectual face as he
recognizes and salutes as friend. In
his habits he is very domestic. He oc-
eupies comfortable, unpretentious
stone residence in the suburb Of Over
brook, on the main line of the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, within a stones throw
of the Montgomery county line. Each
morning of the week he leaves his home
at $3.50 o'clock, and by nine is seated
at his desk in the office of the banking
and insurance company of which he is
president. In religion Mr.. Pattison is
a devoted adherent of the faith of his
father, the late Rev. Robert Henry Pat
tison, one of the most widely known
ministers Of the Methodist Episcopal
