WHISTLER AND MONEY.
The Eccentric Artists Utter Lack of
Business Instinct.


The Eccentric Artists Utter Lack of
Business Instinct.
The Dundee Advertiser tells story
illustrating Whistlers forgetfulness
and utter lack of business instinct.
Being hard pressed for a debt and hav-
ing finally been informed he would be
sued unless a check for the amount
was sent by return post, the artist
mentioned the matter to one Of his
friends who lived near him. Explain
ing that he had few pounds in the
bank, the exact sum unknown, he re-
quested his friend to stop at the bank
on the way to business to ascertain
what was required to make his ac-
count good for a check of slightly over
$50 and to deposit that amount for him
as a loan.
The friend was quite willing and in
due time stood at the cashiers desk
of Whistlers bank asking the amount
of his balance and explaining the err
rand. The cashier was interested. He
went to the big book of balances, turn
ed over few pages, wrote down some
figures and In a moment placed them
before the astonished friend. Whis
tiers balance was more than 100000.
The artist was delighted, but found Il
difficult to remember when he had de
posted so much money or where he
had got it.

A WARM WELCOME.
The Way an American Visitor Was
Received In London.


Received In London.
''When l arrived in London says
well known actor, 81 received a charm
ing letter from a man whose name L
could not recall ever having heard be-
fore, but presuming that it must be
some friend whom | had forgotten l
readily accepted the invitation to din
ner which the epistle contained and
duly turned up the following evening
at the hotel named. A gentleman
whom l did not recognize at once APP
preached me with outstretched hand,
and so pleased did he seem to see me
that did not like to hurt his feelings
by admitting that my memory had
failed me, but trusted that some chance
remark might presently remind me OF
our previous acquaintance.
"In due course we enjoyed the best
dinner the house had to offer, accom-
panied by the very choicest cigars. Al
this point the gentleman left the room
in order to get. something out of his
overcoat pocket and failed to reap
pear waited for him in vain. Their
by degrees the truth dawned upon me
and 1 realized why he had been Sc
genuinely pleased to meet me. How
ever, he told so many amusing stories
that the evening was pleasant enough
to more than compensate me for being
obliged to pay the bill."-New Yorl

Ode to Thanksgiving
When time began, who shot athwart
the sky the living light,

When time began, who shot athwart
the sky the living light,
As vanquished chaos skunk away like
some grim-visaged knight?
Who swung upon the fieecy breast of
boundless space afar
The unknown worlds, the burning
suns, the moons and every star?
Who gave the morn its rudy glow,
and stopped to tint the rose. -.
While smiling on the streams and
fields. and every tree that grows?
Who taught the birds to sing, the bees
to hum and garner sweets
Against the winters storms which
sweep the earth's deserted streets?
Who storeth up the dew of heaven and
pours it forth in showers
Upon the thirsty fields, to gladden.
and perfume the flowers?
Who gives the earth its seasons and
its bounteous harvest times?
Who guards and feeds ibis children
all, in near or distant climes2
All, we, know thee, thou Eternal One
who reigneth up above.
Thou dwellest with the cherubim-thy
wonderous name is Love.
We magnify thy blessed name and bow
the head and pray
For an undying love to thee, on this
thanksgiving day.

but apparently hearty acquie-
scence in their condition.

volney Called a Crank.

The Pacific Sportsman for April
published a nice half-tone picture of
a snap shot taken Of Volney Taft,
taken while in his fsherman's garb
and engaged in lifting beauty from
the river early in the spring. Under
the cut appears the following in.
scription
''The above picture was sent from
North Yakima and shows how some
of the boys over there opened the
trout season this year while there
was a foot of snow along the river.
The season has been very backward
everywhere in the west this year,
cold weather hanging on longer than
usual and making early fishing dis
agreeable. However, the trout seem
to enjoy it and don't mind being
caught any more than usual, and tina:
helps some. The Yakima river is
one of the famous east side streams
where some very large trout are TAX
en- and the town of Yakima is the
home of quite a number of enthu-
siastic fishermen of whom Volney
Taft is probably the worst crank:
at least his friends say he would
go ten miles before breakfast any
time 10 make good CATCH
