Determined to Be Beautiful.

From the Saturday Review.
"You who are telling me about my
beauty you have no conception how ugly
was in the beginning" said Rachel one
night at a dinner at Morny's. Il, who
had to play tragedy, had an absolutely
comic face. It would have made you roar
with laughter to see my square forehead.
crooked nose. ferrety eyes and grinning
mouth. I leave you to imagine the rest.
My father took mo to the Louvre enc day.
1 was not greatly impressed with the pic
lures not even with the tragic scenes Of
David. to which he drew my attention
over and over again. But the moment I
got among the statues 1 became en- al
tered being. I thought 1t was very beau
tiful to be beautiful. 1 came away feel
ing several inches taller, and with kind
of fictitious dignity 1 managed to trans
form gradually into a natural graceful
Tess. Next morning I looked through a
book of engravings after the antique: no
lesson at the Conservative ever proved so
useful. My success in appealing to mems
eyes by my attitudes and expressions is
entirely due to the fact that the master
pieces of antiquity had appealed to my.
eyes l ought to tell you that If
I have managed to become handsome
1t is because I studied every hour Of
my life to be ugly no longer"

SEATTLE, Wash, May S.-The papers in
sensational suit in the United States cir
cult court have been served. 1t is the suit
of L. G. Dilman, a prominent real estate
dealer of Spokane, against the Northern
Pacific Railroad company, and in the COM
plant he tells in full the story Of gigantic
frands practiced by Schulze in connection
with the sale of lands in and adjacent to Spo-
kane. Dllman asks for the return of $312,-
000 of which he says he was deliberately
defrauded, for $112,4O0 damages, which he
claims to have suffered by reason of false
representations, and for the further sum Of
$65 900 which he claims to have paid out
on promissory notes signed on behalf of the
road The suit is directed against Receivers
McHenry and Bigelow, east district, and
Receiver Burleigh of this district, and also
against the Farmers Lean and Trust COM
pany, as holding mortgage on the North
ern Pacific, the complainant Claiming that
the money has passed into the hands of
the receivers and has been used by them
to pay interest on the mortgage, and that
they nov hold the balance in the treasury
on which they have control. D!lman states
that the receivers are perfectly willing to
make a proper adjudication If the courts
can decree the real amount of the indebted
ness He asks that the deeds to the Spo-
kane property be declared deeds for his
benefit, and that the property be excluded
from the mortgage held by the Farmers
Loan and TruEt company. He asks that all
persons be enjored from taking possession
Of the property until an investigation of the
charges made by him can be had, and that
the reorganization or passing OF the read
from the hands of the receivers into those
of bondhoders be stayed or held subject
and subordinate to his rights, and those
rights shall be decreed by the court.
