P.,ptiur Black Eyes.

'The painting of blackened eyes, Of
which you hear little nowadays" said
q man of experience, ''is so well estab-
lished a business now that it does not
even need advertising. A sign which
Just passed aroused memories Of
earlier days within me. 1t was merely
the name of a man who does this kind
of painting, with the brief announce
ment, Black Eyes Painted
"Some years ago such simple state
ment was not enough to enable one in
that business to live. The artist whose
calling this sign declared is the same
man who some years back used to have
place on the avenue farther west, and
in front of that old Office he used to
have an expansive and gorgeous sign
which told his accomplishments in the
phraseology which the only Tody Ham
ilton after perfected in describing the
charms of the best that Barnum Of
fered. New York Sun.

The odd sbillings.

There is very little difference be
tween a pound and guinea; only q
shilling, and yet the keen business man
insists that the shilling shall be consid-
cred. After Thackeray's series of lee
lures on the four Georges had been
delivered In London, Willert Beale
says that he called upon the novelist
In Onslow square with check fol
$3.50.
"What's this, w. B?' cried Thack-
cray, reading the check. Pounds
Our agreement says guineas, and
guineas 1t must be-"
"You are aware that the lectures sc
far have involved very heavy losses
said Beale alphabetically.
''That's not my affair."" said Thack
cray. 81 don't know what occult
means you have to protect yourself
from loss. Guineas, W. r.! Guineas
it must be, and nothing else. / must
have the shillings."
And the shillings were sent him Inn
mediately.

WILLIAM F. NASH OF
TWO RIVERS CHRONICLE
ON JUDICIAL ELECTION

Editor William F. Nash of the Two
ivers Chronicl, thus comments on the
,sult of the judicial election: Neither
arty has gained any grounds of vantage
Z last Tuesdays judicial election. The
rye majority of County Judge-Elect,
Dhn Cnloupek, is due to his wide ac-
laintance, personal popularity and ma
Dnality, in the country towns, while in
e city of Manitowoc there seems to
i've been lucky deal or combination
|hich resulted in gaining for him most
his majority. His opponent, Judge
|lderson. has never sought wide or in
|nate acquaintance, either for political
business purposes. He is by nature
snified and reserved, rather than dem
strative and familiar, in his inter
| urse, yet in private and public life he
5 ever been courteous and considerate
a it is difficult to understand why he
puld have encountered such fractional
stility in his own city.
