Pictures in Modest tonnes.


Good housekeeping: Touching lie
matter of pictures in the country
homes, where the of the city
print shop are not readily availahle
and substitutes must often be acc
ed in lieu of things one would like ~
have, somebody has very well said:
Too many pictures are often used i'm :
single room. Better one good picture,
properly framed, than three or four
crowded together along a wall. | have
counted something like twenty pie
lures on the walls of a single room in
a country house, and the room WAS
not very large, either.
In these days of Photographic repro
duction, copies of the finest pictures
in the world are placed within the
reach of almost every home, even those
where severe economy must be prac-
ticed. Photographs of the finest of an
cient and modern art can now be had
from 10 cents to 81 each, according TO
the size, and if one has a little inge-
nuity in the use OF tools frames for
these can be maze at home.
On the whole, no more satisfactory
pictures can be obtained for a small
sum than these mounted photos of
great paintings. Then, too, one can
often find in various first class period.
icals full page reproductions of some
beautiful modern paintings. These,
surrounded by a homemade frame,
will be in good taste, will be decorative
and to the last degree inexpensive.
The choice of colored pictures for
framing is a matter fraught with no
little risk, unless one is competent to
distinguish between good and poor
work. The art papers send out month
ly some very attractive reproductions
in color of modern paintings. and
these are suitable.

About Scotch Marriages

A Scotch minister has been telling
some of his experiences in marrying
people, which are rather funny. Some.
times when he has asked a couple tc
join hands the four join hands all arounC
as If preparing to sing "Auld Lang
Syne." On several occasions when the
question was asked OF the bridegroom
whether he took this woman for his wife
no reply was returned. He then re.
peated the question more pointedly,
which always brought out the tardy,
but cool, response, 10, ay!"
A common practice after the knot is
tied is for the minister to shake hands
with the young couple and say, Il wish
you much Joy" A bridegroom once
briskly replied, "The same to yon, sir.
The minister on one occasion remarked
to a middle-aged bride that this was the
last time she should sign her maiden
name. She coolly replied, "l've signed

SINGULAR STATEMENT.
From Mrs. Rank to Mrs. Pinkham.

The following letter to Mrs. Pink
ham from Mrs. M. RANK, No. e,354
East Susquehanna Ave-, PHILADELPHIA.
Pa, is a remarkable statement of re-
lief from utter Encouragement. She
says:
"Inever car find words with which
to thank you for what Lydia L. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has done
for me.
"Some years ago Ihad womb trouble
and doctored for a long time, not see
ing any improvement. At times 1
would feel well enough, and other
times was miserable. So it wen on
until last October, l felt something
terrible creeping over me, 1 knew not
what, but kept getting worse. 1 can
hardly explain my feelings at that
time. l was so depressed in spirits
that l did not wish to live, although I
had everything to live for. Had hys-
terra, was very nervous; could not
sleep and was not safe to be left

Indeed, l thought 1 would lose nv

Mhnt wa,tersnn THINKS.

Kansas City Star: Henry Waiter
son is q good Kentuckian and he is,
likewise, an excellent American. He
knows best, from kis birth and raising,
the south and west, but his nature
adapts him TO the whole country, and
he is welcome in every section of the
great United States which he visits.
Mr.. Watterson knows his countrymen,
not little groups and classes, but all
Americans, the people in their entir-
ETY., and he knows their hopes and pur-
poses and wishes and desires. lie can
lie relied on to speak for them. In re-
lation TO the expansion question, the
other day Mr.. Watterson said: ITO
surrender territory acquired by the
outlay of blood and treasure would be
a wanton and cowardly abandonment
of obligations 1t should be under
stood that in Kentucky-Mr. Waiter
sons native state-there is great and
special adherence of a cowardly indi-
vidual or a cowardly nation. Mr.. Wat
terson believes that to give up the Phil
ippines or Puerto Rico to Spain or any
body else would be cowardly. Being
reminded of what General Washington
said more than n hundred years ago,
Mr.. Watterson observed that Washing.
tons indicated policy was wise for n
weak and struggling country, but in
common parlance cut no ice with a
great and powerful nation with obliga-
tons to meet and duties TO fulfil. Mr..
Hatterson summed up at this point
our national progress; From n pro-
vincial huddle Of petty soy~ercignties,
held together by a rope OF sand, we
rise TO the dignity and prowess of an
imperial republic, incomparably great
er than Rome" And here, according
to Mr.. Watterson, is the conclusion OF
the whole matter: 'The United States
from now on, is destined to be n world
power"

COURAGE OF BISMARCK.
The Iron Chancellor Was Cool Even
When His Life Was
in Danger.

In 1S6b bismarck was returning to
his home from the palace where he
had been to see the king. While pass
ing through the street called Unter
den Linden, and. quite near the place
where Hoedel and Modelling afterward
attempted the life of Emperor William,
he suddenly heard q shot fred close be-
hind him. He turned sharply around
and saw young man who, with a
smoking revolver, was aiming at him.
He strobe up to the man at once and
seized the arm that held the revolver,
while with the other hand he grasped
the throat of the would-be murderer.
The latter, however, had had time to
pass the weapon into his left hand,
and now fired three shots in quick suc-
cession. Bismarck felt himself hurt
in the shoulder and in one of his ribs,
but he held his assailant fast until some
soldiers came up and took hold of him.
Then Bismarck walked home at q
brisk pace, and reached his own house
long before anybody there could know
what had happened. The countess had
some friends with her when her
husband entered the drawing-room.
He greeted all in friendly manner
and begged to be excused for q few
minutes as he had some urgent bust.
ness to attend to. He then walked into
the next room where his desk stood
and wrote to inform the king of the oc-
currence. Having attended to this
duty he returned to the drawing-room
and made one of his little standing
jokes.
SWELL, are we to have no dinner
to-day? You always keep me watt
ing" He sat down and partook
heartily of the dishes set before
him, and it was only when the
dinner was over that he walked up
to the countess, kissed her on the fore
head, wished her in the old German
way "Gesegnete Mahlzeit" (may your
meal be blessed), and then added:
''You see 1 am quite WE'LL" She looked
up at him. ''Well," he continued. ''you
must not be anxious, my child; some-
body has fired at me, but it is nothing,
as you see."
In 1850, when the tide Of political
passion still ran high, after the storm
of the preceding years, he went one
day into a Rathskeller in Berlin to
take a glass of Gunthaler beer; man
near him, feeling himself supported,
by the presence of his friends, began
to abuse member of the royal family.
Bismarck looked at him and said
quietly:
"If you have not left this room be-
fore I have finished my beer I'll break
this glass over your head" which he
proceeded to do according to his prom
Use, calmly paying for the broken glass
afterward and walking leisurely away.
