CHILDREN AS MODELS.


Brains may count for a good deal in
the financial world, but for the woman
or girl they are not a circumstance TO
beauty. Even the tiniest children who
do not know their A B Cs, and who
may never be able to comprehend the
simplest rules of grammar or fractions.
provided they ave dainty, w~ell-shaped
hands, beautiful eyes. and a luxury of
soft curls can earn ten times as much
as the plain woman whose brain is a.
lightning calculator for adding columns
of figures and Strengthening out the in
tricate tangles of mixed accounts.
Della Carson, the winner of the Chi
cago Tribune beauty contest has been
working away as a Wabash avenue
st~enographer for $12 a week. little
dreaming that her beauty could bring
her ten times that amount. until the
decision of the judges lifted her at
nee into the limelight and luxury. To-
day large advertisers are paying hun
dreds of dollars for the privilege OF
using her picture or her name as an
Endorsement of a patent medicine or a
complexion cream.
Della'S fame as n beauty did not
come to her until after she had grown
up, but many little posers whom pho
~tographers have brought into promi-
nence are earning as much as s. an
hour and are yet mere babies. There Is
buCil IL dCilidiIo ~ Sllld pllobcSio pllo
and illustrations that n New York
photographer has started a school in
which he teaches children to pose. The
most rigid rules are required of the lit
tie attendants as to food and exercise.
Their diet is as limited as that Of an
athlete in training and they are allowed
to enjoy but few of the pleasures ac-
corded to childhood. The little mod
els are taught first of all to be natural.
which Is probably the hardest Of all les
sons to acquire, for eve a mere baby
as soon as she knows that she is being
admired will take on little affectations
that detract from the simplicity that
makes the child's picture so much
sought after.
The school is to teach them proper
exercises, how to overcome shyness
that keeps many a little beauty from
being a successful model and to be-
come accustomed to sitting for hours
at a time in one position.

Prepare Thtr Yourself.

For those who have any form of
blood disorders; who want new, rich
blood and plenty of 1t, try this:
Fluid Extract Dandelion. one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce /;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces.
Shake well In a bottle and take in
teaspoonful doses after each meal and
at bedtime. Any good pharmacy can
supply the ingredients at small cost.
This Is the prescription which, when
made up. Is called 1.-The Vegetable
Treatment; :" by others, the Cyclone
Blood Purifier" 1t acts gently and
certainly does wonders for some peo-
pie who are sickly, weak and out of
sorts, and Is known to relieve serious
long-standing cases of rheumatism and
chronic backache quickly.
Make some up and try 1t.

The small grape grown In Greece, ana
known commercially as the Zantes cur
rant. appears to be a great standby. II
Is produced IN large quantities, and the
worlds markets are not always ready to
absorb them entirely, but the nimble.
minded Greek does not let them go 10
waste. He turns them into such products
as sugar Of ~raisins, and into pulp foods
(marmalades and jams) for the markets
of northern Europe. They are also made
into a fodder by combining them with
starchy matter n are highly esteemed
for stock feeding. Some day our own
growers, instead of worrying about the
market for their r~aisins, VIII turn their
attention to the other uses to which their
products may be put. and they will find,
that the demand for them will be practio,
ally illimitable.

Mixed on His Dates.

Some day some poet of sufficient call
iber Of greatness will write the epic Of
the 'o~ne-night stand" Meanwhile that
poem is recited by all great hearts who
have to travel that route in order to
fill in between the longer dates. Yet
If a thing has it's hardships, it has,
too, it's humorous side, although 1t

During Miss Shannon's co~-starring
with Herbert Kelley in sherlock
Holmes" they made a tour of the Pa
ciflc coast, playing great number Of
one-night stands with flattering flnan-
cial return. though with considerable
wear and tear upon their nerves. So
many places were visited that even
those members of the company who had
retentive memories become confused as
to the precise city in which they were
playing,
Mr.. Kelley, who was scoring a great
success in the part made famous by
Mr.. Gillette. was one OF the most for
getful, and after a time became quite
befuddled, though he tried his best to
figure it out. One night he was called
upon to make a speech at the conclus-
ion of the third act. He came forward
full OF confidence. and he made his
speech. a grateful little speech. He al
luded to the cordial reception which he
had just received, and he expressed the
pleasure which he always experienced
In visiting Fresno. Nay, more, he paid
a glowing tribute TO the city Of Fresno.
to the enterprise of the citizens OF
Fresno, the charm of the buildings Of
Fresno, the greatness Of the
of Fresno, etc.
To his amazemcnt his speech was re-
ceived in utter silence. When the cur
tain went down. he turned to Miss
Shannon. who was trying to control her.

he said.
"Oh. nothing" she replied. except

It is noticeable that the soothing writers who tell the lambs what has happened to them in Wall street are not using that good old phrase healthy reaction" nowadays. The re- actions that are happening are not healthy, except perhaps in the sense of being somewhat remedial of bad and sad condition of things. MT.

rHr srNAroR spooxrR cAsr.

The country is surprised and pained by the resignation of Senator Spooner of Wisconsin. He has left the Senate because he feels that he cannot afford to stay there. He is great lawyer and a great debater, and during the sixteen years he has sat in the Senate he has done much for the country in the way of making good laws and pre- venting bad ones. But being a great lawyer his services are in great demand by some who can pay him what those services are worth. He has reached a time in life when he feels that he must earn some money, and he is going to if his health and power to work hold out.
 What can be done if such cases grow more numerous, as perhaps they are likely to? Must only men who have made money enough be elected to the Senate? Must the pay of Senators be so increased that poor man can afford to take it? Or must we hold to the theory that a man elected Senator should be patriotic enough to stay poor, if he has to? The matter is of growing importance, and the case of Senator spooner will give strong impetus to discussion of it.

SOME MORAL TFACHING.

Tn the address made by President Mellen at Hartford the other evening there were some plain truths plainly told. The speaker spoke not only as a business man, the head of a great busi- ness, but also as a moral teacher, h. deed, the moral quality of the address was conspicuous, and conspicuously high. Archbishop Ireland spoke the other day at a great gathering in St. Paul, and it is decidedly interesting to notice how the railroad president and
 the Archbishop agree. Thus said the Archbishop: That accumulation of capital, corporations, trusts, may have had their faults, and may need to be watched over by the State with dili- gence and care, I shall not deny But this much I do deny-that accumula- ticns of capital and corporations are to be prejudged as guilty; that men hay-
