gal dignity by President Frank Y. Tay-
Tor, who was ably assisted by Joseph j.
Daynes as lord high chamberlain. Miss
Lerona Cahoon, the successful contest
ant for queen, was charmingly gowned
and looked the part every whit as she
stepped forward TO receive the crown. The
ceremony was short and simple but was
OF more than ordinary interest from the

An interesting story is told OF
Jacques Tissot, the great French paint
er. While in England he painted
beautiful religious picture and, meet
ing a countrywoman. asked her opin-
ion of his work. Its chef d'9uvre,"
she replied, giving remarkably just
and detailed appreciation Of the va
rious merits Of the painting.
"Are you satisfiedT asked friend.
Tissot answered In the negative. He
entirely rep. nted his picture, working
night and day.
When finished, he sent again for his
fair critic, who pronounced 1t admira.
BILE and remained silently admiring II
with smiling criticism.
Are you satisfied" asked the friend
again when the lady had departed.
"No," replied the artist, and he set 10
work for the third time.
When the Parisienne saw the new
painting, she gazed at 1t for some mo-
ments with evident emotion and then
without a word sank softly to har
knees and began to pray.
"Are you satisfied nOwr whispered
the friend, and Tissot said "Yes."

would agree to give him 5000; SO he was
compelled to accept an offer of $500 for
the next term of three years from
another man. To make long story
short, during the six years this farm was
let, he never was able to get his rent in
full, and what with paying taxes and
keeping up repairs, he found that there
was not very great deal left. If these
renters had been of the same make as
the owner, they could have made the
same money; but the fact of it was, the
difference was in the man. The method
was the same, the farm was the same
and the chances were the same. The
owner finally became disgusted with
renters and sold his farm and stock for
$4,000 and invested in city property.
Whether he will be as successful in this
venture as he was as farmer, time will
tell.-A. C.. S. Jefferson County, Wis.

Catherine was again taking up the
thread of Renaissance Jane interrupt
ed:
'Mr. Blossy amt niggah, and II
seems kinda dreadful to see a white

YOU can't do much. Jane, with the wal

Then loyalty to disloyalty sealed her
lips against the first expression OF
doubt as to the conclusion and after
tale of the conflict. AS to the present
she was right. There was small inter
est in Strathboro in those days in the
requirement Of French by any means
Whatsoever. Jane accepted this fact
and went her own way.
Long before poor Andy McGrath,
gaunt and tattered and despairing and
beaten, came back to his home Strath-
boro had become familiar with the
sight of Blossier going about his work
with a tiny figure by his side, little
girl with the most marvellous double
rows of brown curls under her corn
skuck hat, curls as stiff and slick and
regular as If they had been done out
of wood with turning lathe Strath-
boro admired the curls unanimously,
but an accomplishment Of their owner
filled them with an even livelier inter
est. That little thing could speak
French talk it right along with old
Blossy!
The pair were continually called up
on to demonstrate the fact
When old Mrs. Farnley came in from
the country to stay With her daughter
in-law, she was not to be convinced by
the ordinary exhibition.
"You, Mr.. Blossy," said she-"you
can clean out there by that there Grape
myrtle and stay there where l can see
you. Janey. you tell Mr.. Blossy when
he comes back to give me my stick.
Tell him In French" Janey was lit
tie mystified. but she was used to eX-
hibting her French, so she successfully
performed the feat required OF her,
and when Blossier. with bow, hand
ed the old lady her staff more witness
es than one had new realization that
the strange tongue was not meaning
less jargon.
Andy McGrath's soul was as much
like James as one cornfield pea is like
another. The Infinite mind doubtless
saw distinctions between them, and
Jane knew that Andy took more sugar
in his coffee than she did, and Andy
knew that she would spank Janey
sometimes when he would not; but
so far as other human beings were
concerned, they might rs well have had
interchangeable identities. When they
got married, Mrs. Pembroke remarked
