The Duchess of Orleans, mother Of

Ing the monarchy of Louis Xv, was
notorious for her ugliness. She wrote:
From early youth knew how ugly

The. Bon Got In.

The late Dan Rice, the famous circus
man, was fond Of boys: and always
wanted to see lot of them in his audi
ence.' He never gave a performance.
says the Cleveland Leader, when the
hooks and corners were not filled with
youngsters who had come in free.
One STORY. Of this sort was told by
Captain George j. Grammer. At the
time Of the occurrence Grammer, who
lived in GAINESVILLE, O., was standing
one. afternoon with a: crowd Of other
: boys looking longingiy. into the tent,
but not having the price Of admission.
1t was Mr.. Rice's custom to- stand at
the door until the first grand entry. of
the circus people, when he would
leave. On this. occasion he saw the
hungry look on the faces of the boys
and called them around him. ''You
want to go in, don't you, boysF'
"Bet your life" shouted back the
youngsters.
'T'll tell you what. All the boys who
are back here in ten minutes with clean
faces and hands get -in.'
The words were hardly out of his
mouth before there was a dash for
the Muskingum river, and in less than
seven minutes 200 clean faces and
hands came back to the tent. The
boys went inside with rush.

Two Critics,

AS my "Bed Of Ferns" a large study
from nature on Saranac lake, says W.
j. Stillman in The Atlantic; was the
first thing in which l had attempted
to introduce a human interest in the
landscape I was naturally inclined to
consider it my most important work,
and 1 was dismayed when Ruskin
came to see me and in a tone of ex-
IRENE disgust said, pointing to the
dead deer and man: what do you put
that stuff in for? Take it out; it
stinksr'
My reverence for Ruskin's opinions
was such that made no hesitation in
painting out the central motive of the
picture, for which both subject and
effect Of light had been selected. Un-
fortunately I habitually used copal
varnish as a medium. When Rossetti
called again, he asked me, with look
of dismay, what had done to my pic
ture. 1 explained to him that on Rus
kin's advice I had painted out the fig
ures, and exclaiming, ''YOu have spoil
ed your picture" he walked out of the
room in a rage.

almost excessively with the eve. al.

The Dentist Il Polite.

A North Side dentist is sure to be call
ed "a mean man" by some of his Wo-
men patrons when they learn Of the
'trick he has practiced upon them. It
happens sometimes that even a rubber
dam will not stop the flow of woman's
speech, and although the dentist, being
a young man, is not averSe to a little
pleasant talk" now and then with a
patient, yet if she persists in telling
him her personal or domestic history
during the filling of a tooth, hfndering
the work, while other patients wait in
the anterOOm, it's a little trying to his
nerves and temper. The doctor is a DO
lite man; he does not ask the woman
to stop talking, but says gently:
open your mouth, please"
There is silence for a few moments,
when the chatter begins again.
"Open wider, please" says, the den;
fist, more; persuasively than before,
and the work goes on rapidly enough
until. the patient seeing her opportuni-
ty starts in again where she had left
off in the. tale Of everyday woes. The
clock strikes the hour of the next ap-
poiDtme1t. The dentist seizes the most
terrible OF all his instruments, his look
becomes threatening and his voice too:
Please, now, open your mouth very
vide" The ruse succeeds, and the
startled put. unsuspecting woman
stretches her mouth into an abysmal
yawn that precludes the possibility of
even a;whisper.
