A PICTORIAL DRAMA.
How Tweed Was Identified In Spain
by a Mast Cartoon.

How Tweed Was Identified In Spain
by a Mast Cartoon.
No very strenuous effort had beer
made to find Tweed, but it became
known at last that he was somewhere
in Spanish territory. AS early as Sept
30 Mast cartooned the boss" as q
tiger appearing from a cave marked
Spain" Now. suddenly, came anoth
er report-a cable-that one 'Twid'
(TweeO had been identified and cap
tured at Vigo. Spain, on the charge OF
kidnapping two American children"
This seemed curious statement. fol
whatever may have been the boss sins
he had not been given to child stealing
Then came further news, and the mys-
terry was explained. Tweed had been
identified and arrested at Vigo through
the cartoon ''Tweedle-dee and Tilden'
dunn" drawn by Thomas Mast. The
street gamins"-to the Spanish Office
who did not read English-were two
children being fOrcibly abducted by the
big man of the stripes and club. The
printing OH tie dead wall they judged
to, be the story of his crime. Perhaps
they could even spell out the word ere
ward in an upper corner.
Absurd as it all was, the identified
ton was fawIess. Tweed, on board
the steamer Franklin, came back to
America to die. When his baggage
was examined it was found that he
had preserved every cartoon Mast had
drawn of him, save the few final ones
published after his escape, one of
which had placed him again behind
prison bars. On Oct. Harper's re-
published this picture with the story of
the boss capture. The pictorial drama

The Beautiful.

Beauty prevails i'll spite of all we
do. We may build ugly buildings, we
may think ugly. thoughts, we may
wrinkle ourselves in worries Or the
contemplation of ugliness, we may
even worship ugliness under the name

fort, the gentle hand of beauty de-
scends upon all. Beauty may do her
subtle work in many ways. Sun; moon,
fog and rain are alike her servants.

REMEMBER IN A SICkROOM

That medicine bottles should be kept
out of sight.
That garrulous friends should be
treated in the same wise fashion.
That a rubber ice bag is as useful as
hot water bag.
That everything about the room
should be scrupulously clean.
That it is sometimes safer to humor
sick people than to argue with them.
That rapid recovery from illness Of
ten depends more upon nourishing food
than upon medicine:
That sweet smelling flowers should
never be permitted in a room where
there is very sick person.
That both light and ventilation can
be regulated by placing tall screen
between the bed and window.

why Some Folks Go. to Europe.


When New York society doesn't know
what else to do it goes abroad. An
ambitious woman gets wind of some

invited or not to be seen among the
guests means a slight easily endured
If the world; be not cognizant of the
fact, but intolerant If it is; therefore
the ambitious woman sails away. to
Europe. She may not be gone six
weeks, but her absence is thus to be
accounted for. In other cases it is
known that society takes this absent
treatment to cure heart troubles, to es-
cape social obligations that weigh too
heavily on the income or, again. from
sheer ennui it departs. This restless
