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,

The Wonderful Arti-tIc Fents Per-
formed by Joanne Koetrep.

More than 200 years ago little girl
was born at Amsterdam. Holland
whose name was Joanne Koetren. She
was 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 imitat-
ing in wax every kind of fruit and
making ON silk. with colored floss. eI-
act copies of paintings, which We're
thought wonderful
But after she had become very ac-
complished in music, spinning and EN-
broidery, she abandoned all these for
still more extraordinary art-that Of
cutting. She executed landscapes, ma
rine views. flowers, animals and po'-
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for a time quite tie
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 1,00O
horins for three small cuttings The
empress of Germany paid her 4. 900
forins 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-
peror's portrait. which can now be seen
in the Royal Art gallery in Vienna a
great many people went TO see her, and
she kept a book in which princes and
r,ripgasaae xvrpta tbair names
After she died which was when she
had lived 90 years, her husband Adrian
Block, erected monument to her
memory and had designed upon it the
portraits of these titled visitors. Her
cuttings We're 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

BUSINESS sentiment in New York
is VIGOROUSLY conservative. 1t has
become almost proverb that when
the great interests of the CONNER
cial and financial capital of the
new world favor a policy, it is safe
beyond question; that when the
leading business men of New
York, known the world over for
their cool judgment and caution,
approve the course of congress or
the president, all doubts as to the
wisdom of the contemplated action
are removed. The business inter
ests of the country are proverbial-
ly timid in coming to decision on
any governmental question likely
to unsettle values. The business
