An excellent plan for smokers is to
abstain from time to time-that is, fast
from all tobacco. say, for weeks or a
month at a time This method enables
the smoker to enjoy his smoke more
when he goes back to it and is less
harmful to his health

DantOn, the celebrated car1caturisss !,
from memory. After one long look at
his subject he could So to his studio
and make bust quite perfect in it's
resemblance.
One day a young man came to him,
saying that his sister was i'll and about
to die and that, although the family
wished her bust modelled, they dared
not excite her by mentioning it.
Would he undertake to reproduce her
features after seeing her once? Dan
ton agreed, and next day the brother
informed his sister that he intended
to present her With some jewels and
that a young man would bring some
specimens for her approval.
Danton brought in the jewels and,
going home, modelled a bust of strik-
ing resemblance. Next year an old
gentleman, the father Of the young
woman, came to order bust Of the
brother, who also had died. This, too,
was a marvellous success.
The result Of such planning, how
ever, was not always as satisfactory
to his patrons as in these cases. A
gentleman who could not persuade his
wife to sit asked Danton to enter a
certain omnibus one day and fix in his
memory the features Of the lady OPP
posite him.
He did so, modelled beautiful bust
and sent it home. 1t proved, however,
to be not the mistress, but the maid,
who had also taken the trip in the

Plans for Independent Elevator.

under way for the organization of an
independent elevator company. 1t is
planned to build 100000 bushel work

$4,000 is pledged in one lump. The
building of such an elevator would
settle the grain fight in favor of Wis
consin inspection, it is believed. With
developments expected every minute
the commission has so far failed to
take action outside of adding to the
rules and grades. It holds secret ses,
sions daily and the only announce
ment that has been made so far is
that it will make every one live up to
the law. Arrests are expected, how,
ever, at any moment. The situation
here is keen. Superior grain men can
do no business as elevators refuse the
grain, the Great Northern road hav-
ing already broken it's agreement not
