MR.. CANNoN's CIGARS.

Speaker Cannon came out of the
White House offices the other day. As
usual. his appearance was the signal
for a band OF newspaper men to sur
round him. Uncle Joe is a great ia
vorite with the reporters. and after
shaking hands all around. a look Of sad
ness passed over his ccuntenance as he
gently acknowledged that ne was bar
rem Of news He wouldn't even talk on
precedence But to assure his audience
that his intentions were good. Uncle
joe pulled out of an inside pocket q
variegated assortment Of cigars. of as
many colors as the original Joseph $
coat. Some were dark and husky, and
others notified and emaciated.
Take your choice, gentlemen. said
the Speaker. "On,s of them was SNUG

Secretary HAYS BottiCeIli.
The Difference Between Modern and
Ancient Care of Pictures.


A Botticelli panel belonging to See
rotary Hay, and valued at $4,000
has just undergone an operation more
delicate and difficult than could be
performed in most hospitals, though
the work was done on a piece of wood
and not on human being. It has
been often said that the present age is
unappreciative of art, but when one
considers the way IL which that Botti-
Celh would have been treated in the
time of its creator, and the way in
which it is treated now, one can but
admit that certain kind of apprecia-
tive spirit Is abroad even In America.

and threatening It's entire destruction.
1t was, of course, impossible to re-
move the sheet of paint from the sur
face with a knife, so another and
most ingenious method was devised.
Tissue paper was pasted over the en-
tire surface of the painting, and then
the board was carefully sandpapered
off, leaving the tissue paper and the
film Of paint As the board was
about an inch thick, the length and

Convenience, comfort, safety, speed

lshing the world by the triumphs they
are winning in the cure Of obstinate
maladles, such as rheumatism. With
speed they combine convenience, per

Here is fresh proof OF their concen'
trated virtues: Mrs. Margaret Gantz,
of No. 1927 Bodeman street, Burling'

woman, who about two and a half
wears ago found herself in danger OF
losing her power to work altogether.
She says: "T got rheumatism which
made my knees and elbows very stiff
and painful. had difficulty in raising
my arms and could hardly lift my feet
over my doorstep. ought to have
gone to bed, but couldn't afford to do
that, 30 | forced myself to work in
spite Of the pain and stiffness. After
suffering for about six months, l was
told about DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People by a friend, who said
she had been cured by them. On her
advice, bought one box and in two
weeks after have had no need to use
them now for nearly two years. DR..

A regular HrtrnIghter looking at
the Columbia theatre last night might
have said that "The Old Homestead"
had brought along its own audience.
The house was comfortably filed by
faces. on which enjoyment was writ
in capitals. The atmosphere was not
urban. Worldly people are no long
er attracted by dramas Of the sock
and kitchen school. "Shore Acres"
and way Down East" and other i'm
provements and caricatures OF the
old original and reliable Homestead"
have long since killed the fad. To
gaze passionately at Uncle Joshua's
wooden socks and exclaim How
natural! How true to naturel How
artistic!" is no longer the right met
ropolltan thing to do. The limitations
and the caricatures and the fearful
"rube" farces have killed all that.
A manager or two and a couple Of
critics talked II over during the en-
tire act. One remembered the birth
OF "The Old Homestead'--some TWEEN
ty years ago. DO you know the story?
"The Old Homestead" was born in a
well Il was born in the Bella Union
OF this city. TO be accurate. In those
days Denman Thompson called 1t

was builded along lines calculated to
please the gentle patrons Of the Bella

well that the police interfered. I'm
