SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE.
Lucn, the FIOrentine Sculptor, Be-
Tueathed His Art to One Nephew,
His Money to Another.

Among early wills one of the most
peculiar is that Of Luca della Robbia,
the FIorentine sculptor, who lived in
Italy during the fifteenth century.
Lucas greatest work was probably
the sculptured marbles for the Cantoria
or Singing gallery in the Duomo at
Florence, sections of which-groups of
youths, maidens and children, singing,
dancing and playing on musical instru-
ments-may be seen to-day in the Mu-
SEQ del Duomo. But the sculptor is
best known to us through his beauti-
full work in glazed terra Gotta, his
white and blue madonnas, says the
Youths Companion.
Messer Luca was d bachelor, but he
had two nephews, Simone and Andrea.
One Of them, Andrea, he took into his
workshop, and taught him all the Sc
cTets of the craft of terra cotta-the
way to make the different colored
glazes, the way to fire clay, the way to
work in low and high relief.
Andrea was an apt pupil; he had
not the genius of his uncle, but his
work is full of sweetness and refine
ment of feeling; and his name has
come down the centuries linked with
his uncle's, as a sons name is linked
with his fathers.
When Luca died he left by his will
all his money to Simone; not a penny
to Andrea, yet Andrea, working with
him and. for him all those years, had
been to him as a son. If there were
no explanation of this strange conduct
we might think hardly of Luca, or
imagine all manner of romantic
causes for his inexcusable caprice.
But the old idealist had a broad
streak of practical common sense in
bis temperament. He had no wish to
make a mystery of his motives He
explained this seeming injustice in
words to this effect:
ITO Simone give the money, be-
cause to Andrea I have already given
something that is of more value than
any sum of money could be; he in
herits my art"

Still Another Case.

Franksville, Wis, Oct. 12th.-Many re.
markable cures have been reported from all
over the country, but there is one right here
in Franksvllle which is certainly worth pub
fishing, and which has not as yet been given
to the public.
Mrs. Louis Markison of this place had been
a sick woman for quite a long time and could
not find anything to give her any help. She
suffered all the painful symptoms of what
IS generally known as female weakness.
Every woman who reads her story will under
stand these distressing conditions which
combine to make the lives of many women
one long burden of wea kness aid. suffering.
Mrs. Marhson CHANGED one day to hear
of a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
that was said to be a splendid medicine for
some and soon found herself getting better.
She kept on with the pills and was cured.
Speaking of her case Mrs. Markison says
Il can and do praise Dodd's Kidney Pills
as a remedy for female weakness. They are
the best medicine I have ever known, and
have done me a great deal of good"

international Live Stock Exps

international Live Stock Exposition.
Chicago is beginning to consider means for
making the International Live Stock Expo
sition, to be held this fall, better than any
ever held. Over $33, 000, 900 of live stock was
handled at the Union Stock Yards last year,
almost three hundred thousand carloads of
live stock being received at the Chicago mar
ket during this period. This makes the city
one of the greatest live stock centers in the
world.
The international Live Stock Exposition
has been an educational agency of the great
est value to those who have visited the show
in recent years from the cattle ranges and
feeding grounds of the west. These sources
of supply are placed within easy reach of the
city by such trunk lines of railway as the
Chicago & Northwestern, which brings to
Chicago each year 10000 carloads of live
stock, raised and fed in the territory it
reaches. The people living in this rich agri-
cultural region, tributary to Chicago, are
evincing each year more interest in the bet
terment of their stock. The exhibition at
the Union Stock Yards during the Interna-
tional Exposition this fall will be one of the
most notable ever seen, and its chief value
will be along educational lines, looking tc
the improving of breeds and raising Of
standards, which means just so much more
money in the pockets of the producer.
Full particulars as to the program of the
International together with announcement
of low railway rates via The Northwestern
Line will appear later.

STORY OF EDWARD VII.
Ruler OF British Kfngdom "Gives
Lift" to Old Peasant Woman

his recent visit.
While his majesty was driving in
the direction Of Edger, he overlook an
old peasant woman, staggering along
under the weight of huge bundle of
chopped wood. Perceiving the diff.
Guilty with which she plodded along,
the king had his car stopped and
asked her where she wanted to go.
On being told, the king invited her
to jump into his motor car.
She, however, seemed to regard the
car with suspicion, and said she had
never been in such a thing in her
life.
Never mind" said the king:
"now's your chance
But she still objected, and said she
was too dirty to sit among fine gentle.
men.
The king would have no refusal.
and, having overcome her scrupIes,
she climbed into the car and was
whirled to her destination without the
least idea who had befriended her,
AS the king set her down he pressed
gold piece into her hand.
