As the strain of expenses for liv-

ly reading the items that tell how
men and women have struggled
through life on small sums. The
latest story comes from York, Pa,
where the Rev. Jacob Kurt, the
"house-top" evangelist, is following
his usual custom of working in the
harvest fields. In the daytime he
works in the fields, and at night
time he goes into Waynesboro,
where he breaches from the house
tops.
The evangelist lives on 6h cents
a day. His bill Of fare for each
OF three daily meals is three slices
of stale bread, each half an inch
thick, which costs 2 cents a day;
skinned milk, cents a day; half
cup of coffee, TX cents a day; two

mans makeup like the cigar story.
A crowd of sports. led by one Of
the famous western fighters of the
present decade, is said to have
gone in Toms place for short
visit. Each took his TURN in treat
ing and Sharkey was always asked
what he would have. Every time
Tom is said to have taken a cigar.
Finally after everyone had
bought a drink Sharkey saw that
he was up against 1t, and he would
either have to treat or quit the
bunch, and they were all good
spenders.
Sharkey saw a way out Of the
predicament, however. You know
he has the reputation of being the
most economical being that ever
lived. Well, instead of ordering
another drink, Tom said: well,
let us all have cigar on me-" and
proceeded to distribute the cigars
that he had collected on the treats
of the other fellows.
1t was so good that the visitors
liked it.

MISS J. G. lOCKE'S
LECTURE On ART

The Art League is to be congratu-
lated upon the lecture given Saturday
evening by Miss Josephine C. Locke,
late of Chicago.
Miss Locke is an easy speaker who,
while forgetting herself in her subject,
yet holds the attention of her audience
from first to last.
Miss Locke is a woman well known
throughout the middle states for her
interest in education and her love of
art.
In the Columbian Congress of the
Worlds Fair at Chicago in 1894, Miss
Locke took an active part, serving on
committees and delivering many ad-
dresses, chiefly on art and kindred
topics.
For several years she was connected
with the superintendency of the Chi
cago public schools, where she succeed
ed so admirably in interesting the
children and teachers in the love of
pictures and the study of art that the
schoolhouses became under her direc-
ton abodes of pleasantness and
beauty.
As an advocate Of the new education
along lines of self-expression Miss
Locke has pleaded the cause of the
children in most of the large cities of
America from New York to San Fran
cisco She has visited Europe several
times, going last in 1900 when on ac-
count of health she resigned from the
Chicago schools.
Returning home in 1902, she located
in Hollywood, near Loe Angeles, in
Southern California. from which place
she arrived a few weeks ago in the
Korea, intending to make a visit to
her friend. Mrs. Heapy.
Miss Locke holds that the cultiva-
ton of a perception for beauty in a
people has a social and economic as
well as a civiiizing value. She is in
love with the abundance of outdoor
nature in Honolulu and speaks of Ha-
wall as the enchanted islands," say
ing that the tropical foliage, the gorge
BUSINESS of the coloring, make her think
OF what Egypt must have been in its
palmy days under Antony and Cleo
patra.
