and Edith's glance of triumph, she
turned to Dick with ready wit: "Oh,
Dick, 1t is early to go for your boat

owed some Is shillings for sittings.
She was n Philistino of the Philis.
tines. who knew nothing Of her pa

pressed with his work. One day she
told another artist that she had been
sitting to n little Frenchman called
Whistler, who jumped about his studio
and was always complaining that peo-
pie were sIindling him and that he
vas making very little money. The
artist suggested that II she could get
any piece of painting out of Whistler's
studio he would give her $40 for 1t.
Although skeptical. the model decided
to tell 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 a state OF great
excitement, and, looking almost as

king cobra had developed an abscess
next to one Of her poison fangs. and
unless this was removed she would

The curator had a plan and he
called for an extra fat snake pill.
When the stuffed snake appeared II

In more than a month the cobra had

with n surgeons p%inchers and pro

the snake pill was threaded. The
hungry snake took hold of it at once
Frequently she stopped. in evident
pain, 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 cobrs

The Differences In Races.

The late X. II. Stoddard was fond
of contrasting the English and the
French workingman, to the great ad.
vantage of the former. One Of his
comparisons deal with the death OF
Dickens.
"A short time after Dickens died"
he would say. IA friend of mine visited
the scene of his last hours, and, In
search of Dickensiana, stopped in a
%neighboring inn. He spoke of the
noyelist's demise to the waiter. "A
great loss he said.
"A great loss indeed to us, sir,
