splendid collection of paintings
which she gathered during several
trips abroad
The Theseus temple In the Volks
Garten at Vienna has a fine collection
of colored statues and colored coll
umns and pilasters from Ephesus, got
together by Austrian excavators
from 1895 to 1899.
NJ. Camille Flammarion, at the last
session of the Astronomical society
of France, presented a portrait of
Calico to its collections. The por-
trait is authentic. The frame ante
dates GaliIeo's time, and is of wood,
carved with the u signs of the 70

Mr.. Firth, the Royal academician,
once painted two pictures for Charles
Dickens. The subjects were selected
by the novelist, and were Dolly Var

him $500 for the two, and after the
noyelist's death the former was sold
for $4,000.

was lost. Weeks passed and no news
ever came of the missing child. The
mother faded and died, mourning for
her child.
]. II. Collinger still lived on the old
farm. He became a solitary and sad
hearted man. His double loss sat
heavily upon him. Neighbors advised
him to take another wife. They said
he should have a little sunshine about
the gloomy old place from which the
last rays of light had gone when his
wife followed his daughter away for
ever.
Then Collinger inserted an ad-
vertisement in a matrimonial journal.
Six months ago he got an answer from
q Miss Amy Frantz, San Antonio, Tex.
He cOrreSpOnded with her for several
months and then ii was agreed that
the two should marry. Callinger sent
the woman money to pay her fare to
Ohio. She arrived here few days ago,
and the wedding was to have taken
place the next day.
The groom to be, who is IS years
old, discovered a peculiar birthmark
on his prospective brides arm. 1t re-
called recollections of tiny girl baby
that had gone out of his life a half
century before. He asked the woman
her history. She said that until she
was 16 years old she had travelled with
gypsies, then made her escape in
Texas. She was 54 years old, and had
earned her living in various ways since
then.
Her aged sweetheart became inter-
ested and made further investigation
Other peculiar birthmarks were dis
covered. A tiny locket that had es-
capped the thieving gypsies was pro-
duced and from its golden frame
smiled the face of the child's mother
and the fathers wife.
The wedding was not held, but the
ray of sunshine came TO the old home
of the solitary man.

After thinking over the subject care
fully let us ask ourselves one or two

our bodies shall be SO disposed of that,

stitute an element of danger to our

2. Do we desire that the bodies of

THE "PEERLESS POSER"

In his CONSERVATIVE, the esteemed j.
Sterling Morton, takes occasion to diff
fer with the opinion of the Star, that
Mr.. Bryan cannot again secure the NOM
ination Of the democrats for president.
"What was possible" says THE Con-
sERvATIvE, "to a Weaver-supporting
populist of 1892, at alleged democratic
conventions in 1896 and 1900, is not i'm
possible in 1904 to the same peerless
poser for the plain people,
Two times and out would seem to be
a proper rule to apply in the case of
Mr.. Bryan, even though the great nat
ional game admits of three strikes. Ad-
mitting all Of the superlative talent of
the democratic party for dense and
stupid politics; conceding it's propensity
to cast aside principle for expediency;
acknowledging it's tendency to take
up with any idea or fallacy which it
may believe will aid it in gaining
power even then there is no reason to
think that it will risk for third time
it's chances for obtaining control Of the
government on man who has twice led
the party to defeat, and who is con-
fessedly weaker now than he was when
he made his first run.
The democratic party is not wise, nor
honest, nor true to any policy which
might win for it the confidence or re-
spect of the people. But it is hungry
and it's necessities will force a shrewder
method of meeting them than to place
at the head of it's ticket in 1904 man
who is no longer peerless even as a
poser. kansas City Star.
