WHAT BILL NYE SAID.
Advice TO . Man About Writing Up His
| Town.

Advice to o Man About writing Up hs
Town.
A little over a year ago had han
kering desire to write n comic history
of my native town, and one inspiring
evening ! wrote letter to the late
William Nye, requesting little en-
enlargement, says q writer. Here Is
Mr.. Nye's encouragement:
"My Dear Sir: You are another OF
several million who have tried to in
veigle me into writing to you in tho
hope that you will get my autograph
to display in store windows as holi-
day attraction, and, knowing only too
we'll that my name In any store win
dow is n sure guaranty that the pro-
prietor will be in position to dodge
his creditors and the poorhouse, take
great pleasure in being of some benefit
TO the town, where you, no doubt, are
trying to induce the public to appoint
you to the lucrative position OF special
officer without pay The idea you sug-
gest Of writing up your town in hui
morous sense is good one-if you can
run faster than the other fellow. But
will give you little kindly advice
and send your wife and family few
flowers to lay on your caslset, II the
other fellow runs faster than you.
First, begin to make fun of yourself,
and then gradually make fun of every
one else. 1t is risk, but II you are
young and good Splinter, the comic
history of your city will be handed
down to posterity. The secret of writ
ing up any town is contained in the
number of lies you can work off ON
your neighbors and enemies. Give
your conscience to some needy person
Or politician and then pitch in and let
the town do the rest, and they will lose
no time in doing it. = Hoping
that your fcllow.citizens will allow
you to remain unmolested in your city,
and that you will be brave and bold to
the bitter end, / remain, with fears for
your future welfare, WILLIAM NYE."

about two inches in height

upon the weak.
Many savage nations wcrshiped only

could for humanity anyhow, while the
evil gods or demons needed concilia'

THOMAS A. Edison is soon to startle
the world with another wonderful dis
covery. He now proposes to make the

be able to see the exact condition of the

A MACHINE which It is claimed will
take its place ~ the side of the phono-
graph has been invented by Louis
Kramer, Missourian, who moved to
BiRghamton, n. Y. about year ago.
1t is used to receive and magnify Odors
of all kinds and is called a scento-
graph. A patent is to be applied for,
but 1t has been already practically
tested. 1t will take liquid hereto
fore regarded as odorless and distill
the most delicate perfume. A drop Of
perfumery or essence placed on the re-
ceiver will produce an odor that would
in a very short time cause symptoms Of
Ruffocation.

Put on Only One Coat Of Paint-was Easy
TO Change.
A sojourner in New England fac
tory town, during one Of her afternoon
walks, came upon peculiar sight
About q mile out Of the town there was
small white cottage inhabited by .
family of French Canadians, who were
employed In the factory. As she ap-
preached the house she saw that q
border OF black paint foot wide had
been added to the original white since
her last visit.
The windows were outlined by this
rusty black, border surrounded the
door, ran under the eaves-trough, and'
generally speaking, defined the con-
tour Of the cottage. The owner OF the
house sat smoking on the doorstep and
greeted the passer-by with o melan-
choly smile of recognition.
"Why, Mr.. Jacot," said the young
woman, 'isn't that black border ON
the house something new?"
at speaks true" responded the mel
nncholy householder. my wife have
die, and the black border is for
mourn-a grief, you comprehend"
~ am very sorry, said the young
woman, gravely, but 1t seems sad for
the children to be constantly reminded
Of their loss in that way, and for you,
too"
ut Is not for always" returned the
melancholy Canadian, an expression OF
surprise crossing his face at his visit
or's denseness. 1T Is for q mourn-a
grief-but not for Away. Observe l
have put but only one coat of paint OF
the black. She is easy to change, to
make bright; the black is good for I'M
der afterward."
The caller pursued her way, some
what perplexed ut this mingling OF
forethought and grief; but month
later, on passing the house, she saw
her former melancholy friend sitting
on the steps again, but not alone. A
young and pretty woman, whom he
proudly introduced as his wife, sat be-
side him; and scrutinizing the border
of cheerful green which now defined
the outlines of the cottage, the passer-
by discovered that the black had in
deed made n good foundation ''for I'M
der afterward. "-Youth's Companion.

STORY OF AN ARTIST.
Alfred brennan Married Lucy Leo In Mo-
Peculiar Way.

Alfred brennan Married Lucy Leo In Meat
Peculiar Way.
Alfred Brennan. the illustrator and
painter, has pretty custom. He not
only uses his beautiful wife as q model
in much of his work, but he makes It
an invariable rule that once q year,
since their marriage, he shall make q
sketch, or finished painting Of her.
These pictures, some dozen in num-
Der, nre varied in treatment and most
original, all representing the subject
in some peculiarly attractive pose.
Mr.. Brennan's marriage was highly
romantic and odd. He had always, al
though of the euburn-haired style OF
blonde himself, had an extravagant
foundness for that shade Of hair which
Titan loved to paint
A friend, to whom he once spoke OF
this fancy, said that he knew OF q
woman of exactly that style, and would
introduce Brennan II he chose. He did
choose, and they went that evening to
call upon the lady, who was sister OF
Margaret Lee, the novelist When
they left the house Mr.. Brennan re-
marked TO the mutual friend: "1shau
marry Lucy Lee"
In q months time they were engaged.
and in six weeks the acquaintance OF
both families received kilograms con-
tanning these words: "Alfred Brennan
and Lucy Lee will be married to-mor-
row Mt the Little Church Round tho
Corner. Come II you can" Tho
most of them came. The bride was
radiant in an oddly artistic gown OF
her future husbands designing. The
groom was very late, because he had
forgotten the wedding ring until the
hour of the ceremony. And 90 they
were married. -Philadelphis Press
