Which never can be filled.

The Years Dispensary Sales.

The sales of the Dawson dispensary
for the year ending Monday night
we're $85,210, an increase of $2,250

was in the first half of the year,
which showed an increase over the
same months of 1905 of about So

 or Ye oldsn Time.
 All this talk of lovely women some- how brings up the thought of one who was beyond doubt the most beautiful and fascinating of her sex in modern times, if not in all times-Juliette Recamier, born in 1777, died in 1S4s. When she was seventy years old and half blind young man of twenty fell desperately in love with her. So did almost every other man who ever saw her-that is, he would have done so if he had dared.
 Mme Recamier was undoubtedly very beautiful. She was slight and 1.-the and as graceful as Diana. She had exquisitely moulded shoulders and hair the most beautiful-dark. im- mensely long, thick and silken. Yet, lovely as she was, there was about her far more potent charm than mere physical attractiveness, and that was fascination. wonderful. indeffnable. magnetic quality. So powerful was It that her very presence drew people. When she went to London crowds fol- lowed her about everywhere. The fascination acted on women and men alike. Mime. de Stael. strong and tremendously intellectual, loved the slim, vivacious Recamier with passion ate devotion. Mme. de Stael took charge of her intellectual development. and under this brilliant tuition Mime. Recamier became even more bewitch- ing. Her mother had taught her in the start, and very properly. that 1t is woman's duty to make the most of her charms.
 Lucien Bonaparte fell in love with her. Napoleon himself did the same. She inspired Prince Auguste, nephew of Frederick the Great. with the grand passion of his life. Half hundred more might be mentioned. Abbe Ca- nova. the great sculptor's brother. wrote sonnets to "Bellissima Giu- lietta." Many attempts have been made to analyze the fascination exercised by Mme. Recamier. All have failed. in part So far as it can be traced to an intellectual or emotional source 1t may be attributed to her marvellous tact and sympathy. Her temper was sweetness itself. she seemed altogether unconscious of her beauty and power and was always gentle and modest. She had the rare faculty of rather drawing out the best qualities and gifts of others than attempting to ex- hibit her own gifts.
 Well, it is not given to every woman to be a bowling beauty. But the home Hest woman living may make herself so attractive that nobody will every think O. her as ugly.

Very few American women equal her in this respect, and none sur- passes her. As to Paris, she has for generation been exploiting, now this woman, now that, as the loveliest of created feminines for the time being.

women and others who work for their living.
 Miss Della Carson is twenty-four years old. and she has been the main support of her family-mother and two sisters-since she was nineteen. A girl who does that deserves to have the gift of beauty, though not all such good girls have. Miss Carson Is quiet and refined. Among her acquaintances she has long been noted for her beauty, which her simple dress and shirt waist with it's turndown collar, showing the lovely throat, seem to make all the more impressive.

NE Qdy, so the story goes, a
 young Boston millionaire showed young Chicago
 millionaire picture of the Boston mans sister. She was beau- tifui girl, and the Chicago man spoke of her loveliness Thereupon the east S}ern man. Bostonlike, improved the oc- casion by remarking what pity it was Chicago women were no beauties. or words to that effect. Chicago local pride was hurt
 "rn bet you s50o00," cried the west ern millionaire, that I can bring you the photograph of Chicago woman who is handsomer even than your sis ter. And III leave it to competent judges to decide"
 '.I'll take the bet" said Boston, at least so the story goes.
 Then Boston went back home. and Chicago started out to make good his wager and find the most beautiful wo- man in his city. She did not happen to be among his lady acauaintances unfortunately, so he advertised for her. Result, several hundred photos of pretty women. but the boss beauty was not with them. The bewildered &IliCdSO iIldH DcSdfl lO NOiidei "HetHel, I, after all, the Boston mans reproach that there were no beautiful women gin the western city might not be true. Why Not Advertise?
 The advertising firm in whose hands he had placed the matter suggested offering prizes and rewards for beauty willing to show herself It fsN-n, lot ,f no said, but if the man whose local pride was touched would spend the money they would go ahead.
 And the man said, GO ahead"
 The agents did. They offered prizes for the first, second third and fourth most beautiful woman in Chicago. In- terest was aroused Photographs be- gan to pour in. The shower lasted till there were 5000 pictures of ladies whose admiring friends considered each the loveliest woman in Chicago. In due course the Chicago Parises set tied the question of the first, second and third prize beauty goddesses. But when it came to number four they found there were ninety-thre ladies all of "beaut," so to speak.
 What did they do? They at length decided that the whole ninety three were entitled to be classed as beauty number four, and since they themselves did not have to pay the bill they ruled that every one of the girls should get the full prize awarded for being the fourth best looking of her sex in Chi cago. Besides getting each prize the ninety-three women were entitled to have all their photos half toned in the newspapers. So again the Judges de- cided, not having the bills to pay.
 Finding the most beautiful woman in Chicago threatened to cost the man who had gone on the hunt of her more even than the s50,00O he expected to win. However. he resolved to carry the enterprise through to the end, even if he had to live on dollar a day
