brated German Physician, and is

affection and leaving the parts in a
strong and healthy condition. 1t is
not an experimental medicine, but
has stood the test of years, giving
satisfaction in every case, which its
rapidly increasing sale every season
confirms. Two million bottles sold

The Elements.

Sunday was a gloomy day. A
steady downpour of rain continued
until evening. Services at the
churches were sparsely attended,
and few pedestrians were seen on
the streets. 1t was one of those
dismal, murky days when "The
COLLINS ill git you if you don't
watch out" In the evening, how
ever, the atmosphere underwent a
change and the winds began to
blow, increasing with velocity and
frigidity until the early hours Mon
day morning, mixed with binding
snow. One of the publishers, who
is a bachelor, prodded his way
through the storm to his cheerless
room, and IN the absence of a fire
tucked himself away IN bed, wrap
ped in covers and old clothes and
dreamed of balmv days and sing
ing birds until about two in the
morning, when he woke up with
the feeling that had been suddenly
transplanted to the frigid zone
This troubled him considerably, but
after dumping few more belong
ings on the bed, he managed to
snooze until morning. Above his
head the board was covered with
ice. He thought it was the frozen
vapor from his breath, but Miss
Susie, who puts the room in order,
said it was the print of his ''snores."
Makes no difference, when he found
that the thermometer had register
ed degrees below zero next morn
ing. Zero considered it a very
reasonable excuse to snore without
license.

agreed to proceed at once, and the

crestfallen, and a roar of laughter which
rang through the room added TO his dis
comfiture.
'-Oh, we'll he said, pulling nervously
at his mustache. and his tone was petu-
liant, Il don't care.
Younger artists often felt hurt at the
cold cuts they received from Whistler,
but the better known ones laughed.
He was deeply panied. after trying this
familiar affectation upon a well known
French artist, by the remark: Whistler.
1 should think you would Try something
new" The idea that he should ever lack
the element of novelty was shaft which
went home
Whatever within seized James A Nc
NeilI Whistler. he lost little time in fol-
lowing it. His studio in Paris looked out
upon a garden on one side and under one
Of his windows was. small tank con-
tanning gold fish. Whistler rugged tackle
from string and bent pin and in the
course of an hour he had landed every
fish. He cooked the spoils, and, finding
them not at all to his taste. wrapped
them up in paper and, after pinning TO
the packet a note to the owner of the
garden that the fish were not fit to eat,
threw the package On a path.
William NJ Chase has contributed large
ly TO the budget of Whistler anecdotes
One day when the two men were painting
together in Whistlers studio in London
a wealthy woman visited them with the
demand, which she had made many times
before, that Mr.. Whistler return TO her
n Dicfura nv himself which he had bo-
rowed several years before to place on
exhibition. The suave voice of Whistle
was heard in argument and he finally
induced his patron to depart without the
work of art
When she had gone he returned to his
work, muttering something about the
absurdity of some persons who believed
that because they had paid eco TO $500
for picture they thought they thereby
owned it.
Besides he added, there is absolute
~ nothing else in her house TO compare
with it, and it would be out of place"
Many Of Whistler's eccentricities were
due merely TO his devotion to art. He
never thought it anything amiss to ask
a woman to travel clear across London
TO pose in his studio for two minutes so
that he might get some detail of her
gown. Mr.. Chase said that ne cnce urged
Whistler to stop work in order TO fill
dinner engagement
Chase replied Whistler, what nui-
sance you are. The idea of leaving
beautiful thing like this to go and eat

Paris, July 25.-M. Waldeck-Rousseau,
the sage and correct ex-premier. the cul-
tured scholar. the finished gentleman. and
the only available candidate for the sue
cession Of President Loubet in sight has
made what they would call in the west
a bad break" His re-entry 10 the law
courts this week has been a triumphal
one.
His plea against his eminent adversary
Raymond Poincaire. was a model of for
ensic oratory.
But the solecism committed by the ex-
premier in having worn beneath his toga
a pair of shining yellow shoes. has glad
dened the hearts Of his enemies and car
ried CONSERVATION into the ranks of his
friends
Such a thing has never been known in
the history OF the Palais de Justice The
members Of the bar say il is worse than

AUTO RACE PAID THE IRISH.
1t Cost an Awful Sight of Money, but
the Profits Were LARGE.


Berlin July 25.-The Irish have gained
large enough share of the 100000 which
the recent automobile race cost TO make
them well pleased with the whole affair.
Putting the average value of each of the
twelve competing cars at $4,000, the sum
of $21O. 900 represents rolling stock alone.
The cost of getting the roads m a fit con-
dition for the race is about $500 and the
bill for policing the route will amount to
something like twice as much of which
the treasury agrees to pay one-third.
The expense of transporting the cars to
Ireland is a considerable item, but this is
far exceeded by the salaries and wages
paid to highly trained chauffeurs, and to
some of the drivers of the cars, who, It is
said exceeded $500 each for their ser
vices.
OF course this does not apply in all
cases, Mr. Foxhall Keene, for instance
and several others having volunteered
their services for the mere sport of the
thing, or owing to a direct interest in a
certain make of car.
1t is estimated that the race caused the
spending of 100000 in Ireland by the COM
petitors and the thousands of visitors who
came over to see the event, but that these
figures are under the mark.
For a single room as much at $50 per
night was asked; 800 has been the price
of accommodation for a small party for
one night in the neighborhool of Kill
meade; and a small plot of ground adj
joining the course cost, in one instance,
800 for a weeks camping.

ECCENTRICITiES OF ARTIST.
Whistler Was Very Egotistical as Well
as Queer Genius,

London, July 25.-Many contradictory
traits blended in that strange personality.
James A. Mcneil Whistler, whose death
in London the cables announced, and are
preserved in the anecdotes which will be
known to posterity as the Whistler stor-
les.
Whistler was inordinarily vain, yet the
things which he did were in a measure
due to his peculiar philosophy of life.
Those who knew him best and liked him
maintain that beneath all that he did the
painter who gloried in the gentle art
of making enemies had a sound basis of
reason. His leading appetency was a
desire to be unique.
I'm going over to London" said he
once to William NJ. Chase, land there
shall have a handsom made. 1t shall
have a white body, yellow wheels and
III have it lined with canary colored
satin I'll petition the city to let me carry
one lamp on it and on the lamp will be
a white plume. / shall then be the only
one"
Two of the best of the published Whis-
tier anecdotes are labelled ''Velasquez'
and Nature" The artist was once ex-
travagantly complimented on his work
and the admirer wound up by saying that
only two men could have done such a
remarkable bit of painting, Whistler and
Velasquez.
And why drag in velasquez?" drawled
Whistler
Another hero worshipper. speaking Of
some Of the artists etchings of English
scenes. said they were equal to nature tt
self
Yes" said Whistler. nature is look
ing up
One of the afectations of Whistler was
his apparent failure to recognize persons
with whom he had been on the most
friendly terms. An American artist once
met the impressiOnist in Venice. where
they spent several months together paint
