A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Familiar
to the Public.

The story of how probably the
most perfect feminine hand in Ameri-
ca became known to the people is
rather interesting.
AS the story goes the possessor OF
the hand was with some friends in a
photographers one day and while
talking, held up a piece Of candy.
The pose of the hand with its per-
feet contour and faultless shape at
tracted the attention of the artist who
proposed to photograph 1t. The re-
suit was beautiful picture kept in
the family until one day, after read
ing a letter from someone inquiring
as to who wrote the Postum and
Grape-Nuts advertisements, Mr.. Post
said to his wife, I'VE receive so
many inquiries OF this kind, that 1t Is
evident some people are curious
to know, suppose we let the adyertis-
Using department have that picture
Of your hand to print and name 1t "A
Helping Hand" (Mrs. Post has as.
sisted him in preparation of some Of
the most famous advertisements).
There was natural shrinking
from the publicity, but with an agree
ment that no name would accompany
the picture Its use was granted.
The case was presented In the light
of extending a welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and Grape-Nuts,
so the picture appeared on the back
covers Of many Of the January and
February magazines and became
known to millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
1t as probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising dept. Of the Post
UNI Co. did not seem able to resist the
temptation to enlist the curiosity of
the public, by refraining from giving
the name Of the owner when the. pic.
ture appeared but stated that the
name would be given later in one Of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming adver-
tisements to learn the name of the
owner.
This combination Of art and com
merce and the multitude Of inquiries
furnishes an excellent Illustration Of
the interest the public takes In the
personal and family life Of large
manufacturers whose names become
household words through extensive
and continuous announcements IN
newspapers and periodicals.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA
A Desperately Serious Case Cured by
Or. Williams Pink Pills,

Brought to the very verge Of starva.
ton by the rejection Of all nourishment,
her vitality almost destroyed, the re-
covery Of Mrs. J. A. Wyatt, Of No. 1889
Seventh street, Des Moines, Iowa,
seemed hopeless. Her physicians utterly
failed to reach the seat Of the difficulty
and death must have resulted If she had
not pursued All independent course sug-
gested by her sisters experience.
Mrs. Wyatt says: "Ihad.pain in the
region Of the heart, palpitation and
shortness Of breath so that I could not
walk very fast My head ached very
badly and I was seized with vomiting
spells whenever I took any food. "A doc
tor was called who pronounced tho
trouble gastritis, but he gave me no re-
lief. Then I tried a second doctor with
out benefit BY this time I had become
very weak. I could not keep the most
delicate broth OIL my stomach, and at
I the end Of q month was scarcely more
than skin and bone and was really starv-
ing to death.
"Then Irecalled how much benefit my
sister had got from DR.. Williams Pink
Pills and decided to take them in place
of the doctors medicine. It proved q
wise decision for they helped me as
nothing else had done. Soon could
take weak tea and crackers and steadily
more nourishment. In two weeks was
able to leave my bed. Dr.. Williams
Pink Pills were the only thing that
checked the vomiting and as soon as that
was stoppedmy other difficulties left me-
/ have a vigorous appetite now and am
able to attend to all the duties of my
home. ] praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People to all my friends because
l am thoroughly convinced Of their
merit"

Grounds for Opposition.

One of President Roosevelt's West
ern friends applied to him for job.
The president was willing and sought
to find him a place. He had about
settled on one when there came a great
protest from the Western friends
state "They discovered" said the
president, that he had killed four
men. | didn't know that Still, the
homicide record did not form the basis
of the protest. The people who op-
posed my friend opposed him not on
the ground of killing people, but be-
cause they said he was an agnostic."

Constituent Was Hungry.

big Tim" Sullivan, the Bowery
Tammany king, met an impecunious
constituent recently and took him to
dinner in restaurant much more pre-
tentious than the man was accustomed
to. He was fellow of almost infinite
appetite and the amount of food he
slowed away was something porten-
tous. When Tim thought the man had
consumed enough substantials he
asked: Now, what'll you have for
desert?" whats that?" "Oh, some
thing to top off with" The constitu-
ent ianguidly scanned the bill Of fare.
Il guess I'll have beef Stew he
replied.

Professor Charles Zeublin recently
returned to the University Of Chicago
from five weeks lecturing trip in the
Northwest, and has been telling Chi
sagoans something Of the possibilities
and probabilities Of that great region.
He says Portland is making terrific
struggle to keep its prestige, but is
rapidly losing to Seattle, which, he
thinks, will become the great seaport
of the West, in time surprising even
San Francisco. Tacoma, he thinks,
will be the great manufacturing city

RUSSIA FOR France
FAvoRs LATTER's PLAN FOR
CONTROL OF MOROCCO.
FRENCH and SPANISH CONTROL.
French and British Delegates to the
Conference Regard Expressions;
From Mediterranean Powers as
Likely to Exert Great Influence.

|
| Of the conference on Moroccan re.
forms was marked by an unexpected
and important move on the part of
the Russian delegates who laid be-
fore the conference an exposition of
the police question. The document,
which infinitely goes over the exist
ing situation in Morocco and analyses
the position Of the various powers,
concludes with an argument for the
proposition that France and Spain are
the most fit to be entrusted with the
task Of controlling the police force
which is about to be created. The
British, Spanish and Portuguese dele
gates expressed their concurrence in
| the Russian views. Italy, however,
though inclined to favor the scheme,
reserved final approval Count Won
Tattenbach, the junior German dele
gate, Henry Waite, the American
delegate, and the delegates Of the sew
erai neutral powers did not express
their views.
Discussion Of definite police propos-
ais was postponed until Thursday,
while the bank project will be ar
gued on Wednesday. The French and
British delegates to the conference
regard expressions from the Mediter-
ranean powers as likely to exert great
influence on the vote Of the neutrals
relative to the policing Of Morocco.
An official communication shows
that Herr Won Radowitz, the first Ger
man delegate, also joined in the dis
cussion Of the police of the island and
admitted that Of necessity the police
force must be organized by the sui
tan; but he claimed that there should
be participation by all the powers re-
presented at the conference. The
German delegates contention there
fore is directly opposed to the Rus
sian suggestion as Baron Barcheracht,
the second Russian delegate, argued
that inefficiency Of collective action
by the powers in Morocco had been
proved by the unsuccessful operations
of the international sanitary commit
tee at Tangier. He pointed out that
French officers experience with Mus
sulmans and Spanish officers with
rufilans had placed them in the best
position to control the Moorish ele-
ments which eventually must form
the main body of the police by which
the security of foreigners is to be as
sured and commerce facilitated. M.
Revolt, the senior French delegate, ex.
pressed Frances willingness to ac-
cept the Russian suggestion, following
on with the proposal that the police
force shall consist Of 1000 Moors dis
tributed at eight ports, each carrying
four European non-commissioned
officers and the whole under COM
mand of sixteen French and Spanish
officers selected with the sultans as
sent and who shall become Moorish
officials.
The Spanish delegates strongly sup
port joint Spanish and French con-
troll, arguing from the point of view
that the proximity Of those countries
to Morocco gave them greater inter-
ests than the other powers, whose
equality Of rights, however, will not
be affected thereby.

Woman's Odd Mania.

One of the strangest cases of klepto-

of in Paris. A certain woman had

had been for long time stealing
pipes of this description from shops.
In the fiat which she occupied there
were found no fewer than 1000 pipes,
not one of which, it Is believed, she
had paid for.

men and women alike in Bill Tracy's
dance hall.
One evening Dunn stood by the piano
turning over the leaves of song for
this woman when he heard a big. burly
fellow sitting near at hand exclaim
with deep rooted sarcasm:
"Pd like to waltz with his whiskers"
Dunn paid not the slightest attention
until the song had been finished. Then
with grave courtesy he thanked the
woman who had Obliged" and escorted
her to seat.
This act was followed with request
to the professor" to strike up tune
and Dunn strolled over to the man who
had made reference to him.
Laying his hand heavily upon the
strangers shoulder, Dunn said:
Come along"
There was a wicked glitter in his
glance and he was showing his big
white teeth in that grin which persons
who knew what 1t meant didn't like to
see The big stranger. in amazement,
replied to Dunn's curt invitation with
the question:
Come where?"
oh retorted Dunn, taking firm
hold with his other hand, you wanted
to waltz with his whiskers, and now
l guess you're going to do it,
The man ~waltzed, waltZed until he
was tired, and =. the room, which had
rapidly filled up when the loungers
learned what was happening, resounded
with roar after roar of laughter.
FALLING OUT WITH BILL TRACY.
Dunn and Tracy finally had falling
out. Tracy had killed a man in his
time. confidence operator named
Miller, whom he shot in Darling's sa-
loon, next door to what is now Daly's
Theater.
Dunn, with Tracy and ten or a dozen
other companions, was in Wakeley's
cafe, at the corner of Forty-second
street and Sixth avenue one evening.
Dunn was waiting to catch the ele-
waited car that would connect with the
last boat to reach his midnight train
from Jersey City to Elizabeth.
He miscalculated his time and the
train swept by just as he reached the
foot of the stairs leading up to the
station. He returned to Wakeley's af-
ter an absence of perhaps four or five
minutes, and the instant he entered
there fell a silence upon the men in,
the room.
This Immediately told Dunn that
somebody had been talking about him,
ner, and he swept his eye along the
row of faces until it fell upon the
countenance of Tracy. There was no
doubt about it. Tracy was the man.
Dunn at once started in that direc-
tion, when a tall. athletic young fellow,
naval lieutenant, interposed. Dunn
looked at him for an instant, and said
very quietly:
My young friend I don't wish to
harm a hair of your head, but I'm go
ing to Tracy, even If / have to go
straight through YOU"
The lieutenant stepped aside, and
Dunn went over and hit Tracy a blow
on the jaw which so completely
knocked him out that consciousness
was not restored for twenty minutes.
After that when Dunn passed Tracy in
the street he usually had his hands in
his pockets.

Late Saturday night some policemen
came to the house with the idea of ar
resting me and keeping me locked up

thing they could and put me behind the

back of the building where they would

myself.
"They argued a while and then went
back to the station-house to report In
a few moments there was a great rack

with squad of men and a battering
ram. He came up the stoop and said:
