THE MAN WHO DRAWS.
This One Thinks He Has His Trials
with the Rest of the
World.

The woman writer is great trial to
the man illustrator of her stories. 1t is
all very well to illustrate a story for
a man. He doesn't care a rap, often,
about the details of the gowns his
heroines wear in the pictures If they
only have the general effect that is de-
sired and the women themselves look
as pretty as his pen picture has made
them. But it is not so with the woman
writer, says the New York Times.
Good gracious!" says man who
illustrated number of stories for a
popular woman writer, 81 did not know
but the work would send me to Che
insane asylum or that should have to
go as dressmaker's appren tice before
could complete it. That woman want
ed every fold of the gown to hang just
so. She,was particular about the tie
Of the bow her women wore at the neck
and she would have the hair dressed in
just such style. Thought knew before
that an artists education needed to be
comprehensive and included good
many things not mentioned In works
of art, but it looked to me for time
as if the only thing for me was to be
born again and to be born wearer Of
petticoats."

MALTREATED STORE CLERKS.
They Are Subjected to Great Injustice
by ThoughtIess Women
Shoppers.

The reputation which some large
stores get for being disobliging to their
customers or having uncivil clerks
could in the majority of cases be traced
directly back to the shoppers them
selves, writes Edward Box in Ladies'
Home Journal. 1 make no claim of
perfection for the clerks who stand be-
hind the counters of our great stores
where women shop. They are only
common mortals, full of faults. But,
considering what they are called upon
to go through and endure at the hands
of thoughtless women, the constant
wonder is that they are so civil and
obiging. If the truth could be known
1t would be found that they suffer far
more than they infiict suffering. If the
roll could be called of Woodworking,
innocent girls who have lost their posi-
tons because of in-founded complaints
made by influential" customers whose
accounts the firm could not afford to
lose, it would be a roll of disgrace to
American shoppers. The girls behind
the counter are human-although from
the actions of some women we might
believe otherwise-human in their
faults, but also in their finer feelings.
Very often they represent better fam
lilies, better breeding, than that which
is revealed to them from the other side
of the counter.

the court endeavors to find out if the

alliances in his own country that
would prevent him from becoming a
good American citizen.
"Do you belong to any nihillstlc,

County Board Meeting.

The meeting of the board of county
commissioners Wednesday afternoon
was purely routine, and there was
very little interest connected with it.
The committee on court house and
jails made no report on the Temple
proposition, as predicted few days
ago, and the scheme may be safely set
down as dead one, for the present at
least
There was quite little discussion
over the application of Nicholas Buff
fer for license to run saloon in the
town of Fall Lake, near Ely. The
town is a new one, and there is already

LUMBER SCHOONERS.
There Are Not Many of This Kind OF
Craft Now Seen In the CHI
eagO River.

"Have you noticed the great falling
in the Chicago river?" said the old
bridgetender as he leaned on the rail
of his bridge and watched mighty
steel steamer majestically sweep
through the murky water with thou
sands of tons of ore in her hold. "a few
years ago, comparatively, the old WOOD
en- schooners with their tapering masts
showed up in the distance almost every
time the tug whistles sounded for
bridge to open. Now we are warned by
the deep cough of steamer, says the
Chicago Chronicle. The lumber car
riers, which used to plod slowly down
the stream laden almost to the waters
edge with sawed lumber, shingles, ce-
dar posts and all that sort of stuff from
Michigan forests, are not here any
more. Not one in five of the old fleet
of lumber schooners makes Chicago as
they did. Well? One reason is that the
Michigan forests are getting played out
and the Wisconsin lumbermen are float
ing their logs down the Wisconsin riv-
ers to the Mississippi country and cut
ting them there, giving Chicago the 60
by. A whole lot of the trade has been
diverted in that way, and again lots of;
it goes to South Chicago. That Calu-
met country is rapidly filling up with
lumber yards, because the river hauls
are shorter and the tug bills are, there
fore, less. If the Chicago lumber men
don't do something to help matters
they will find themselves up a stump
before long"

A prominent clothing merchant
informed US yesterday that clothes
sold in '96 for SIS are today sell

now than they have been in eight

We figure that the laborer and

Books I'm Japan.

The Japanese now publish three times
as many books as the Italians, whose
literary powers seem to have faded al
most entirely away. Out of $4,000 vol
umes published last year in the Land
of Flowers no less than 5000 were law
books and 1900 treated of religion,
which shows that the romantic little
nation has not yet taken kindly to any
written form of romance.
