He Changes her Portrait Every Year.
There ls n peculiar portrait in
Washington which has created much
interest among those who know Of it's
existence. It's popularity is that ey-
cry year it las been changed to show
changes TINT time would have made
in tho original. The portrait is by a
Washington artist, and is OF his wife,
and was painted many years ago,w heu
she was n young bride. a few years
after the portrait was painted the
young wife died, and sc great was tho
grief OF the artist that he determined
to keep her likeness with him all tho
time and to do so he decided that
year by year he would change her
portrait 80 NJ to make it grow old
with him, and thus keep her Us it
were over with him. Every year ON
the anniversary OF his wedding day,
the artist locked himself in his studio
and changed the lines of the face OF
the portrait adding what he thought
tic difference OF one ycnr would
make. There have been mnny ami
versaries OF thai wedding day, and
consequently many changes in the
portrait, Today the picture is that
OF dn old woman with the hair turned
gray. the face wrnkled ana pale, but
still beneath the marks OF time made
"
by the artists brush, can be seen the
early beauty of the bride and the at

Washington, Feb. 2l.-The American
Canadian Joint high commission, after
a session yesterday, adjourned to mccr
at Quebec Aug. =, unless the chnirmen
or the respective commissions agree upon
another date. There were several rea-
sons which prompted yesterdays action.
1t appears there were serious differences
OF opinion between them sagarding the
important matter of the tciImitation of
the Alaskan boundary. Then the time
Tor the meeting Of the Canadian parlia-
ment is overdue, and the Canadians are
anxious to return as soon as possible. It,
also became apparent that there was
little likelihood of the possibility Of the
ratification by the United States senate
ut its present session of any treaty
which might be framed, which also prob
ably figured in the decision to adjourn.
dozen important questions were re-
fcrred to the commission for its CON
sideraiion, and the commissioners assert
that substantial progress in the settle
ment and adjustment of many of them
has been made Probably those which
have given the most serious trouble and
proved stumbling block to final
agreement on all have been the two
relating to lumber and the Alaskan
boundary. question, in both of which the
Canadians have demanded concessions
which the Americans felt it would be
prejudiclal to the best interests of the
United States to grant.
1t was felt also that an adjournment
for few months might result in
better prospect for harmony and dis
position on the part of the Canadians TO
agree TO propositions made to them from
the commissioners on this side.
