loss OF agricultural regions now fertile

over the lowlands
Travelling few years ago through
Tunis, came suddenly upon fine Ro-

II the river ever rose to the arches which
carried the roadway OF the bridge.
His answer testified to the flooding ca

THE STORY OF A MODEL.
She Posed For One Picture and Lift
ed "a Farm Mortgage.

Had il not been for "A mortgage on
Missouri homestead the world would never
have seen Ashley ID, NJ. Cooper's wonder
full painting, "Trilbyi There might
have been painting Of that subject by
the same artist, but il could never have
been the masterpiece the present painting
Is. II was that mortgage that gave Mr.
Cooper his beautiful model.
Some years ago this young woman was
living the happy life OF country girl on
her wealthy fathers farm in western Mis-
souri, She grew up wild and free, unre-
strained in spirits and form, living very
close to nature. No corsets ever encirclcd
her waist and no tight shoes distorted her
feet. She grew to womanhood an unfet
tered child of nature, beautiful In face
and form. Then came misfortune for her
father The grasshoppers devastated his
fields, and he was compelled to mortgage
the homestead The father sickened and
died, leaving his wife and daughter with
out resources and with mortgaged home
They went to Kansas City, where the
mother SECURED employment as a cashier
In department store and the daughter as
cloak model in the same establishment.
Their common purpose was TO save money
enough TO pay of the mortgage on the
homestead. AS they came and went To and
from their work they attracted attention,
and soon all eyes were upon them. The
young woman soon became known as the
Living Venus, and as such was known
to many people who knew nothing Of her
life.
At this time an artist friend, who lived
in Kansas City, wrote to Mr.. Cooper that
he had seen the woman Of goddesslike
form who alone would serve for q model
for perfect Trilby, knowing that
Cooper was searching for such model
The artist went posthaste to Kansas City
He managed to secure an introduction to
the beautiful girl, and with all possible
tact suggested his purpose. She indig-
nantly refused his offer, but Cooper was
SO impressed with her beauty that he
would not be content with a refusal. He
argued with the mother, persuaded her
and promised price that would raise the
mortgage and endeavored to show the
daughter that there need be no sacrifice Of
her maidenly modesty. He told her that
her mother could go with her and be with
her all the time she was posing. Finally
she yielded. At Cooper's beautiful home
in San Jose, Cal, during the following
four months, she was the sole model and
furnished the inspiration for this great
picture. When the picture was completed,
both mother and daughter returned to
Kansas City, where the daughter was
soon married. --Washington Post.

HIS FIRST CONTRACT.

81 was only 10 years old when 1 secured
my first contract" said the well known
contractor, who was In n laxative MOOD.
"My father was living on a far1a at the
time and as winter drew nigh he conceiy-
ed the plan of turning the little creek that
ran through the farm into hollow near
by. thus forrnisg pond from which TO
cut Ice during the winter.
"Ny father figured up the cost, and
finding that 1t amounted 10 more than he
had thought II would was about 10 give 10

told him that would take the contract
for $40 He laughed and told me TO 60

would have ambition enough to begin on
the work rs up to that time I had not
shown liking for hard labor.

together and placed the situation before
them. The nearest pond was matter OF
ten miles away, and even a boy with a
pair Of brand new skates did not thrill at
the prospect Of walking that far for a
skate. ! showed them how with little
work we could have n place to skate right
at home They fell In with the idea, and
we went TO work to carry out the plan.

that is, the other boys were, while stood
around and bosscd the job.
Il was proud of the work when 1t was
finished, and think my father was too,
although he couldn't see for the life OF
him how I managed TO secure so much
help for nothing.
with the first heavy freeze there was
rush for the pond by the boys that was
only equaled by the rush away from it
when father discovered them there and
started after them with horsewhip.

Marie. On entering her room he looked up

the boy reverently bend his head to her

Constantly he carried the pitcher TO her,
and one day, when his uncle was more
drunk than usual, he slipped three prim-
