A DENVER GIRLS HONOR.

Paris Sculptor Says She Has Most
Beautiful Hand In the World.
Honors of all kinds have been the
portion Of Denver girls A Denver
girl was the original Of the Gibson
girl Now it is declared that Denver
girls hands are the most beautiful
hands in the world, says a dispatch
from that city.
NJ. Bradalle, a French sculptor. came
to Denver last spring, met Miss Fanny
Rosenthal and asked permission to
take cast of her hands.
IL have Travelled much. studied the
women of many countries, but never
have | found so beautiful a hand" he
said. The cast was made. NJ. Bradele
left for home after making the predic
ton that little Miss Rosenthal would
some day hear more of her hands
When he reached Paris he made from
the plaster casts a mold of Miss Rosen
that's hand in Carrara marble. Some
of the noted artists in Paris saw the
work and went wild over the perfectly
modelled hands. The Paris papers
printed pictures of them. eXtolinl

ticular points that make them perfect.
"Such exquisite lines, such taperin.
fingers, so round and firm, yet withou
one ounce of superfueus flesh; sucl
dainty wrists, such filbertlike nails,
and so on until Miss Rosenthal, wht
every now and then receives a copy Of
some newspaper that tells the story o.
her hands, looks at those inoffendint
members in establishment.
The last paper to reproduce pictur,
of the cast is small sheet printed il
South Africa. and there is set down tn,
story of the young woman living il
Denver whose hands are more nearl.
perfect than those of any other livinI
woman.
1t was at a small dance that Mis-
Rosenthal met NJ. Bradelle. He asket
her to dance. A second time Mis-
Rosenthal had the stranger for part
ner, and before the music had stoppe,
NJ. Bradelle had expressed his admira
ton for her hands. Before the evenin,
was over she had laughingly givel
him permission to model them II b

end of that time they enter heaven

Railway Cars Built ms Educators.

Four new Illinois Central suburban
passenger cars have been built to cor
rect the manners of passengers, says
the Chicago Tribune. This is the state
ment. at least, of an official of the road
to whom Il passenger complained of the
uncomfortable backs to the seats.
"They were built that way" the official
explained, Ito keep people from cross
ing their knees, slovenly attitude,
which spoils the aesthetic effect of a
crowded car" Care was taken also,
the official added, to make the spaces
between seats wide enough TO keep
rude men from putting their feet on
the seats in front of them"

CYCLONE DENYING BARN.
Circular Structure Erected on an
Indiana Farm.

Indiana Farm.
A circular barn. one of the most
unique structures ever erected on an
Indiana farm. has been completed by
James Sears. whose farm is near Id
pei. Ind. says the Chicago Record-Her
aid. The walls. or, rather, wall, of the
barn is twenty-five feet high and sixty
five feet in diameter. the roof running
to n cone. There is no such thing as a
post or pillar in the barn. In order to
prevent the weight of the roof from
spreading the wall Sears. who is
practical blacksmith, forged three
heavy steel hoops. and with these he
encircled the structure as band
would be put around big water tank.
The barn is cyclone proof, for Boreas
has no chance to get hold on the
structure.
Inside, driveway runs clear around.
The stalls for horses and cattle are ar
ranged in a circle, there is big feed
ing room In the center, and silo ez'
tends from the ground to the roofs
cone.
Mr.. Sears claims that he can shelter
more stock and stow away more feed
in the barn than in the ordinary farm
structure.

Gently spent Sunday in Zion City and
heard John Alexander Dowie preach,
gives in his paper the following i'm
pressions:
The trip is an interesting one in
many respects, and no matter how
much prejudice one may have against
the scheme there is plenty to see and
hear to make day one of general in
terest. The excursion trains leave
Chicago at about 11:30. The dis
lance is forty miles along as smooth
q piece of track as there is in the coun-
try, and there is no time lost, the train
going through without any stops.
When you pay your fare you get the
first inkling Of Dowie's ability. The
round trip distance is eighty miles and
the fare 80 cents, probably the cheap.
est rate on any railroad in the country.
Arriving at Zion City, the depot pre-
sents another wonder. 1t is fine large
depot, the main waiting room covering
a space probably so by so feet. Only
one room is required, as there is no
tobacco allowed in the town, and the

hung on every window, probably the
