STORY OF A PHOTOGRAPH.
Uncanny Figure Appeared in Three
Successive Sittings of Young
Woman.

The following story Of young lady
living in the country who came 10
London to be photographed is told by
IN. A. P.," and vouched for Dy a we'll
known London photographer After
some days the lady, Miss B., was
informed the photograph was not a
success, and another sitting was sug-
gested. This she agreed to, but again
was informed that the photograph was
a failure. There was a third sitting.
In two days time she received an urg-
ent letter from the photographer ask
ing her to come up to his studlo and
bring a friend with her. Miss b.
went, accompanied by her mother,
ard was shown the amazing results
of the three sittings. The pictures OF
the girl herself were quite good, but
In each plate there was to be seen
standing behind her the figure OF a
man holding a dagger in his upliftsd
hand. The features, though faint,
were clearly discernible, and Miss b.
recognized them as those OF her fiance,
an officer in the Indian army. The
effect of this experience was SO great
that after a few days she wrote out
to India, breaking off the engagement.

MONEY MAKES THE HARE GO

An odd story of the disappearance
Of hare with a sum of money comes
from Donegal, Ireland. An old man

with which to dispatch 1t, proceeded
to strange it with the handkerchief,
In which she had tied up the precious

pleted to the satisfaction OF the girl,
she was about to lift up the hare

THE WHITE PAINT OF THE
WHITE HOUSE.

The White House at Washington,
which has been the "Kings Palace
of the American People since it was
first occupied by President Madison
in 1909, has recently undergone a
thorough course of remodelling, reno
walton and repair. Every American
citizen is ownsg of an undivided
eighty or eighty-five millionth part Of
the White House, as we'll as of the
other Public Buildings and Monuments
in the Capitol City. An item in the
renovation of the remodelled White
House was repainting. Every visitor
to Washington knows why the White
House is so called-because it is lit
orally q white house.. The exterior
paint must therefore be white. Now
while the pure white surfaces and SIM
pie lines of the White House, set in
the midst Of green lawns and beauti-
full trees, produce very satisfying
effect of dignified simplicity, white
paint from practical point OF view,
is about the most unsatisfactory kind
of paint that could have been selected
by the original designers. First, be-
cause any white paint is easily dis
colored by smoke and dust, and Sec
ond, because ordinary white paint
itself gradually turns gray or brown
ish yellow from exposure.
But white the White House Is and
white it must remain or it would no
longer be the "White House. So the
renovators, making the best of dis
couraging situation, sought for the
best kind of white paint procurable.
The average citizen If asked to guess
what kind of paint they finally decid-
ed on would probably answer-"white
lead and OIL" but he would guess
wrongly. The paint selected as the
best obtainable was O ready mixed
paint, such as can be bought In any
well furnished village store, such as
Is used by more than half Of the
eighty or eighty-five million owners
of the White House on their own
homes. That one brand of mixed
paint was used instead of another Is
fifty or hundred brands on the
market that might have been selected
in other circumstances, and in fact,
different brand was used in paint.
ing the Capitol.
Every property owner, therefore,
who paints his house with a high
grade ready-mixed paint is following
the example set by the Government
Authorities at Washington, who used
ready-mixed paint, because they could
find nothing else as good.

that this location of refineries and
the natural advantages following 1t
were obtained by means of unfair
competitive methods, but beyond this
mere assertion does not go into his
tory or explanation of these alleged
unfair methods at all. He says the
development of the pipe line system
by the Standard Oil company was the
result of special agreement with the
railroad companies AS a matter Of
fact, the development of tho pipe
line system by the Standard OIL COM
pany was in the face of violent hos
tility on the part of the railroads.
Conditions i'll New England.
Passing from this point, Commits
sioner Garfield takes up the question
of favoritism, which he alleges has
been shown by various railroad cor
porations, to the Standard Oil COM
pany The first specific case of al.
legged discrimination to which he d.
reefs attention is in the New England
territory. II IS charged that we en-
Joy a monopoly in certain parts of that
section because some Of the railroads
there refuse to prorate. Casual in
quiry would show that the New Eng
land roads'a are simply doing what they
are forced to do by natural conditions.
Obviously, we have an advantage by
the use Of our pipe lines from the
western oil fields to. the coast and the
use of water transportation thence to
New England over anyone who uses
all rail transportation from western
points.
Some Of our competitors do the
same thing and deliver oil at the
points in New England that we do by
the same process.
Question Of Rebates.
"The commissioner says that with
one or two exceptions the investiga-
tions of the bureau have as yet dis
covered no rebates in the technical
sense on interstate business
"He says the Standard Oil company
has habitually received from the rail-
roads, and is now receiving, secret
rates and other unjust and Illegal dis
ordinations 1t is hardly fair or
manly for him to add the sentence, or
course there may be other secret rates
which the bureau has not discovered
Does Not Crush Competition.
"The statement that the Standard
Oil company has largely by unfair
and unlawful methods crushed out
home competition is fully answered
by the fact that home competition has
always existed, is steadily growing,
and that there are now at least 125
competitive refineries In the United
States.
"The Standard Oil company has been
investigated over and over again at
| the instigation Of its rivals, and 1t
always welcomes such investigation
when conducted in good faith and
fairly. We are engaged in large and
honorable business. We are conduct
ing it honorably and we sincerely be-
! lieve In conformity to law"

the fear that San Francisco will

authorities competent to speak, show
that within the next year there will

rehabilitation Of San Francisco.
The following figures made clear
where this sum Is to originate:
Investment OF new Geary street mu-
nicipal road. $4,000; Home Tele-
phone company expenditures. $1,000
600; insurance losses now due and
payable approximately. SITE, 900, 900;

States Telephone company, 100000;
restoration OF government buildings.
S17O,OOO; building of sea wall, $1,000

conservative estimates placed destl-
tute refugees at 10000 In Oakland and

tons are to be met Is a subject OF
most earnest consideration between

self. While exertions OF army to re-
duce aid to smallest possible limit has
effected important changes, yet solu-
ton OF situation without enormous
