is A CITY OF HILLS
coeeEs| onoEneG

Lisbon is a city all up and down
hill. The seven hills of Rome are
nothing to 1t; 1t seems to be built on
about fifty, and to facilitate matters
there are numbers of small cog-wheel
cars continually ascending and de-
acending from one level to another
apparently always full. There is also
a vast system of open electric street
cars for the level places, called car
ros Americanos, built In Philadelphia.
No other city of its size In Europe
possesses so many parks and public
gardens, and recently laid out av-
enues, and surely no other can be SO
noisy. The people do not seem gay
and laughter-loving like those OF
Southern Spain, but the trafflc seems
enormous perhaps because 1t Is con-
fined within small space. and the
din and hustle cease but for an In
considerable time during the small
hours of the morning.
The chief open space is the Praco
do Commerce., a large and handsome
square, which is surrounded by pub
lie buildings. The harbor Is one of the
finest in the world, and the quays ex-
tend between two and three miles
along the bank of the river. The town
itself is 4 place of remote antiquity.
Its earliest name was Olisipo, by
which it was known when it was the
capital of the Lusitanians. 1t has
been held since then, in turn, by the
Romans, the GOths, and the Moors,
but in 1147 Alphonso l. of Portugal
wrested it from the infidel. The city
suffered from a severe earthquake
in 1874, and was visited by plague
in 134S; the greatest disaster, how
ever, befell it Nov. 1, 1855, when in
less than ten minutes the greater
part of the city was made heap Of
ruins, from 10000 to 10000 persons
were killed, and damage was done to
the amount of nearly twenty millions
sterling by one Of the greatest earth
quake commissions on record.
There are several other rather
queer things in Portugal, but the beds
are the queerest. A wooden floor
sometimes seems to yield, the human
form adapts itself, fits in as it were,
more or less to the inequalities of q
rock surface; but these beds are ad-
.mantine. and when you wake up you

MR.. WHISTLER WAS INsULTEp.

Offer of Ten Pounds for a Picture
Aroused His Wrath.
The studios in and around London
are just now filed with gossip about
the late distinguished artist, James
Mcneil Whistler. One is told Of q
female model to whom Mr.. Whistler
owed some Is shillings for sittings.
She was a Philistine of the Philis-
tines, who knew nothing of her pa
irons fame and was in no way i'm
pressed with his work. One day she
told another artist that she had been
sitting to a little Frenchman called
Whistler, who jumped about his studio
and was always complaining that peo-
pie were swindling him and that he
was making very little money. The
artist suggested that if she could get
any piece of painting out of Whistler's
studio he would give her G10 for it.
Although skeptical, the model decided
to ten her little Frenchman" of this
too generous offer and selected one Of
the biggest and finest works in the
studio. What did he say?" asked the
artist who had made the offer when
the model appeared in state of great
excitement, and, looking almost as
il she had come second best out of a
scrimmage. ''He said 910-good
heavens 10!' and he got so mad
we'll, that's how l came in here like
this"

Edith" his voice taking a tone Of in
finite tenderness, "listen to my plead
ing. Listen to your own heart, GEAR
Does 1t not tell you that YOU may
trust me? You have scorned me. hut
In your heart of hearts you love me-
The girl stood up with quick little
gasp, which he took for dissent, and
he added hastily, Selling her hands,
Look me in the eyes and tell me
that you have no love for me in your
heart, and you will never see me
again. l am leaving in the morning.
II you desire 1t, will never return"
Edith loked at him moment with
startled gaze, then, dropping into a
chair, she laid her head on the table.
The man looked down at the bowed
head. Then, moved by sudden i'm
pulse, he pressed his lips on her wav.
ing hair and her white neck. The
touch Of his lips accomplished what
his words could not; for, as she lift
ed her head, her eyes shone with
look which seemed to open the gates
of Paradise for him. With an inarticu.
late cry he clasped her in his arms
just as footsteps sounded on the walk
outside.
Dick Haskins looked ruefully at
Edith's flushed face, but he said
gaily, Nov, Edith we'll go, If Mr..
Strong will excuse us"
Strong started forward, but before
he could speak, Edith laid her hand
on his arm, as she said, ''Will you ex.
cuse me tonight, Dick? Mr.. Strong
is leaving in the morning, and"
"And as I am to be her husband.
Dick, naturally want her to myself
this evening"" Mr.. Strong interposed.
Dick though surprised and chag.
rined, was no coward. Hiding his own
emotion as best he could, he con-
graduated Mr.. Strong and Edith heart
lily, and speedily left the room.
Mrs. Wentworth was very happy as
she kissed her daughter and gave her
hand to Mr.. Strong.
"'Where, oh! where is the good
Elijah now?" she said playfully.

laughingly toward Edith.

GNdpOicou was away Ill huSSid. Up
to this time we had had delightful
summer weather, but it began to be

we were plunged into winter again.
The Escurial is the only "scrougey"

of spirit. The palace itself is, as 1t had
remained in our recollection, dull and
gloomy, and even the Pantheon Of
the Kings" where all the rules OF
Spain are buried in black sarcophagi,
one above another, was not particu-
larly impressive. The Pantheon OF
the infantas, however, is interesting
and rather beautiful. 1t is series OF
white halls filed with snowy sar-
cophagi, numbers of them occupied
but many awaiting their future ten
ants. One wonders whether sover
eigns enough will ever sit on the
throne OF Spain to furnish infantas
for all these marble collins. Don John
of Austria lies alone, as II in state,
and admirably chosen notices and
verses from the Scriptures, engraved
upon the sarcophagi, lend an added
dignity to these resting places of the
sons and daughters of kings.

DANGEROUS PIECE OF SURGERY
Abscess in Mouth Of Cobra Success
fully Treated.

Abscess in Mouth of Cobra Success
fully Treated.
A remarkable feat of snake surgery
took place recently in the New York
Geological Park under Curator Dit
mars. Magma. splendid 10-foot
king cobra had developed an abscess
next to one of her poison fangs, and
unless this was removed she would
die. To capture the dangerous reptile,
to force her Jaws apart and to cut
the abscess, was the problem.
The curator had plan and he
called for an extra fat snake pill.
When the stuffed snake appeared it
was distended to the bursting point.
In more than a month the cobra had
not touched food. Mr.. Ditmars sum-
moned five keepers, armed himself
with surgeons pinchers and pro-
ceeded to the attack. Through cir
cIlar aperture, protected with a slide,
the snake pill was threaded. The
hungry snake took hold of it at once.
Frequently she stopped, in evident
paiA, but each time she resumed until
the long black thing was half way
down her throat.
This was the moment to act. The
door was thrown open and before the
cobra could disgorge herself to fight,
she was seized by the head and throat,
while other hands grasped her body
and tail. Then the mouth was forced
wide apart while the pincers did their
work, and the finest specimen of cobra
In captivity was thus saved to the col
lection.

ELIJAH'S CONQUEST.
BY NELLIE NJ. GILLESPIE.
copyrighted, 1908, by The authors Publishing Company
Where, oh! where is the good Eli.

Where, oh! where is the good Eli
jah?"
Where, oh! where" Edith's gay
its lifting song at the warning finger
from the doorway. Before the girl
could ask the meaning of the warning,
the Rev. Elijah Strong appeared in
the doorway behind Mrs. Wentworth,
gravely polite, little hooking smile
about his lips, merry twinkle in his
dark gray eyes.
Here am, Miss Edith. am glad
you find me good"
Edith had been in the habit of hum
ming this song of her childhood ever
since she had known the Rev. Elijah
Strong, partly in ridicule of the old
fashioned name, partly to tease her
mother. Now, caught at her nonsense,
she blushed scarlet.
"Oh, then, he hasn't gone up in a
chariot of fire." she flashed back
saucily, though her cheeks were still
afiame.
But he'll need the ravens to feed
him, if you're not ready for tea soon"
interposed Mrs. Wentworth, seating
herself and glancing uneasily from the
flushed face of her daughter to the
firm, clear-cut features of the young
clergyman. Hurry, dearie, and brush
your hair" whispered Mrs. Went
worth, while she, excusing herself to
her guest, went out to attend to their
tea.
When Edith came into the room
again in a dainty white muslin, her
cheeks flushed, her eyes bright, she
found Mr.. Strong alone in the room.
you are not sorry that begged
your mother to invite me to stay to
tea. are you, Miss Edith" he asked
gaily, and yet little wistfully.

Indeed! Mr.. Strong. l have an en-

cused."
Pardon me, again, Miss Went
worth, if / seem to be obtrusive. But

Before Edith could answer, Mrs.
Wentworth announced that tea was
awaiting them on the shaded veran-
da. All through tea that must" rank
led in the girls mind. The steady,
compelling gaze of the gray eyes
across the table confused her. An I'M
easy feeling came over her as she
mentally contrasted Dicks easy good
nature and weak will with Mr..
Strong's firmness of character.
Dick Haskins, Edith had known
