TOO LIFELIKE.
Curious Reason For Rejecting the
"Portrait Of q Doctor"

SurtouS hSdSoH FoT nsJeSs"S WV
"Portrait of Doctor"
Concerning the prize, Portrait
of Doctor" by Seymour Thomas,
there is very amusing story.
Several artists had made paint
ings of the gentleman who is rep
resented in this celebrated picture,
but the family decided that none Of
them was ''lifelike enough" After
visiting tie Thomas stadio the gen.
tleman's relatives commissioned this
artist to essay the t;@k.
The work went on well, and the
picture was completed. Every one
was delighted. Observation-Disclosures,
family and cnem!cs-that it was a
Giving likeness"
One day, before the picture had
been sent home, the wife of the doc
tor called with her sister-in-law.
This woman had been suffering
from nervous proStration and had
come to spend several months with
her brother for rest.
Instantly on entering the studio
she threw up her hands and ex-
claimed in a hysterical, Mortified
tore:
"Oh, my dear, my dear! How
much like Robert that is, Oh, it Is
horrible. | couldn't stand it in the
house moment. Why, it looks just
exactly like him, and I'd almost
think him about to speak. Don t
take tits uncanny!"
Abashed into silence, embarrass-
ed beyond description, the wife. and
sister-in-law later left the studio.
"And what do You think" said
Mr.. Thomas, with a gentle smile.
"a few days later 1 had a note from
the wife asking me if could not
make the picture a little less like
the doctor-a little less lifelike"
Did l do it? Well, l guess not!
That was one of my best pieces OF
work, and l know that in trying to
please everybody you are apt to be
in the same predicament as the man
with the donkey-in the end you'll
lose the donkey and will have pleas
ed nobody. Give me changeable
sitters, but deliver me from the
mily."-Scrap Book.

Uncomfortable Shaving.

The traveller, who had just re-
turned from abroad, sank back into
his accustomed barber's chair with
a sigh of relief. ''This is the first
time I've had the prospect of COM
Portable shave for three months" +"
he remarked. "They have improv-
ed in a good many things abroad" 4"
he continued, 'but the BARRIERS over
on the other side still stick to those
uncomfortable chairs of theirs in
the most absurd way.
81 asked the man who shaved me
in London, and nearly broke my
neck at the same time, why they
never used American chairs in the
barber shops of London.

cept for the reason that they are
made in America, sir. '"-Cleveland
