THE LADY THE WINNER.
Amusing Occurrence In nm Office
Building Elevator In Chicago.

Building Elevator In Chicago.
People who ride in lifts in this
city acquire some queer experiences at
times The calling of the floors where
passengers desire to debark or embark
not infrequently produces some anus
ing situations 1t all depends upon the
style of the person making the an
nouncement OF course conductors
are mute participants in the game
Here is one happening Of yesterday
which is certainly out of the usual run.
Half a dozen passengers entered an
elevator in big down town office build
ing. Doctors office there almost to the
exclusion Of other professions One boy
with package asked to be deposited
at the second floor. A woman stood
mute while medical man thought he
would leave at the fifth The conductor
turned an inquiring head and the re
naming passengers with one voice
Ginning in full chorus shouted;
''Tenth
..'Seven up, murmured a gentle
voice as the car reached the indicated
floor
Two men seeking the tenth floor
glanced at each other with grins of ap-
probation as sterographer. and a
pretty one, by the way, entered the car
She seemed unconscious of having ere
ated more tlan passing interest, but
the conductor was alive to the situation.
The lady wins, he muttered to
himself as lie gave the lever yank and
the car shot upward again. Chicago

preaching he took from his pocket what
he thought was his handkerchief shook
it out and wiped his face, intently talk

smile was on every face in his audience,

put in his pocket for a handkerchief

formed by J0anne KOetren.

formed by JOanne kOetren.
More than 900 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam, Holland,
whose name was jeanne Koetren. She
was a peculiar child in that she cared
nothing whatever for play and sport,
but found her greatest delight in max
ing copies of things about her, iInitat-
ing in wax every kind of fruit and
making on silk. with eolored floss, ex-
act copies of paintings, which were
thought wonderful.
But after she had become very ac-
complished in music, spinning and en-
broidery, she abandoned all these for a
still more extraordinary art-that Of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
rine views. flowers, animals and por-
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for time quite the
wonder of Europe She used white pa
pers for her cuttings, placing them over
black surface, so that the minute
openings made by her scissors formed
the light and shade "
The czar, Peter the Great and others
of high rank paid her honor One man
high in office vainly offered her /, GOO
forms for three small cuttings The
empress of Germany paid her 4, 200
forms for trophy she had cut, bearing
the arms Of Emperor Leopold, crowned
with eagles and surrounded by gar
land Of flowers, She also cut the EN-
pefor' portrait, which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna. A
great many people went to see her. and
she kept book in which princes and
princesses wrote their names
After she died which was when she
had lived 50 years, her husband, Adrian
Block, erected a monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits Of these titled visitors. Her
cuttings Were so correct in effect and so
tasteful as to give both dignity and
value to her work and constitute her an
artist whose exquisite skill with the
scissors has never before or since been
equaled Lewiston Journal

NEW SYSTEM NEEDED.
Evening Fire at Spencer Was a Practical
Lesson.

Spencer, April ia fire broke out
at Sis this evening in Erastus Jones d
Co. IS boot and shoe shop, which came
near resulting in a large loss. The
fire started near the chimney and
caught the woodwork around it. A
gentleman passing the factory was the
first one to notice the smoke, and in
stantly rushed into the office and told
the inmates. One of the employees
gave the alarm.
The different compa1Ies responded,
but before they arrived, Charles Dun
ton was on the roof hard at work to
eXtinguish the fire.
In a few minutes the fire was put
out, but not before the neighborhood be-
came thoroughly alarmed. Engineer
DeWolfe cannot be given too much
praise for the manner in which he han
died the fire.
1t was demonstrated that fire alarm
system is much needed, as neither the
O'Gara nor Grout hose companies went
to the fire, understanding that it was
on Moose hill, where there is no hy-
drant.
