The Price He Had to Pay For Expert
Surgical Treatment.
The famous surgeon Telpeau was
visited one day at his house during
the consultation hour by marquis
renowned for his closeness. Velpeau
Informed the marquis that an opera
ton was urgent and that the fee would
amount to 1900 francs. At this the
marquis made wry face and left. a
fortnight later Dr.. velpeau, while max
ing his rounds In the Hopital de Ia
Charlie, had his attention attracted
by face that seemed familiar to him.
In answer to his inquiry 1t was stated
that the patient was a footman Of
nobleman in the Faubourg st. Ger
main. The surgeon found that his case
resembled In every particular the
somewhat unusual one for which the
marquis had consulted him a fortnight
previously. He refrained, however,
from making any comments. Three
weeks after the operation, when the
patient was about to be discharged,
DR.. Velpeau called him aside and ex-
claimed: monsieur, / am extremely
nattered and pleased to have been able
to cure you. There is, h; ever, Z

have to comply before can sign your
exeat-that Ia, you will have to sign
a check for 10000 francs in behalf Of

became livid. "You can do what you
like about IT," continued the doctor,
"but if you refuse all Paris will know
tomorrow that the Marquis de d.

order to secure free treatment at this

THROAT CUT in CHURCH ROW
Man MortaIIy Wounded Drops at Foot
Christmas Tree.

,Whiteside, Mo-. Dec. 26.-George
Rider, his throat cut, and mortally
wounded by Edgar Parrish in fight
in the Christian chuch at Louisville,
small town ten miles west of here,
staggered to the CT ristmas tree and
fell dead at the feet Of Santa Claus"
The celebration was thrown into a
panic as Rider staggered around, wom-
en- and children screaming and faint
ing at the sight Of blood streaming
thru his fingers held to his wound
Parrish fled from the church during
the excitement. An unconfirmed report
states he committed suicide on coun-
try road with the same knife he used
fatally on Rider.
Trouble between the men is said to
have started at a supper in country
church near Louisville a few nights
ago, when Parrish defended a. number
of women from insult after Rider is
said to have broken up the supper.
The Christian church was packed
when Rider, reported to be still in an
ugly mood, entered. He spied Parrish
and started toward him. Men in the
crowd attempted to quiet him, but
failed, and he attacked Parrish, who
welded his knife.

Would Want tho Umbrella.

Ignorance often saves much dis
quietude. Many have heard the story
Of the woman whose first experience
in railway train ended with an &C.
cident. Thrown from her seat and
shaken up generally, she nevertheless
retained her equanimity. When asked
If she were frightened she replied:
frightened! No. / didn't know but
that was the way they always
stopped" It is to be hoped that the
trolley passenger in Mr.. Howels' anec-
dote introduced into Confessions Of
Summer Colonist," was possessed of
the same trust in the event. The
conductor, at least, preserved his pres
ence Of mind. Says Mr.. Howells:
l had long expected to see some
one thrown out Of the open trolley car
at some of the short curves. One day
woman was actually hurled from her
seat into a road. Luckily she alighted
on her feet, and stood looking about
as il in a daze.
ooh, OH" exclaimed a passenger.
"She's left her umbrella!"
The conductor promptly threw It
out.
why did that lady wish to get out?"
/ asked.
The conductor pondered moment
before he answered:
"Well, she'll want her umbrella,
anyway"

A great, deal depends on the plan

the outside appearance. It is an art
that seems difncult to acquire, the
building Of small artistic, comfortable

Such houses should be great deal
more common than they are. It would
prevent families who like to live nice
" from crowding into fiat buildings
where they have neither light nor suf-

narrow lots. A 60-foot lot would hold

A Tiny Work Of Art and Rosa's Trans.
formed Harpsichord.
Specially prepared canvases and gid
ed frames are not essential to the
making Of great paintings. This has
been demonstrated by the artists who
have painted masterpieces on scraps
of board, shells, grains of corn and
the walls Of rooms and prison cells.
Some of the most valued art objects
belong to the freak class.
The smallest painting In the world
Of distinctive merit was executed on
the smooth side Of grain OF corn by
a Flemish artist. On this limited sur
face the artist painted in perfect de-
tail mill, u miller with q sack OF
grain on his back, horse and cart and
a group Of several peasants standing
in road.
The largest picture ever painted is
said to be panorama Of the Missis-
sippi river, executed by John Banvard,
an artist who died in Watertown, S.
D., in 1891. The gigantic canvas was
twenty-five feet high and nearly two
miles long. It gave a detailed repre-
sentation of 1900 miles Of the Father
Of Waters.
The largest Of the old masters can
vases is Murillo's Appearance OF the
Christ Child to st. Anthony OF Pa
Qua" The picture is ten feet wide and
eighteen feet high.
It Is related that friend called on
Salvador Rosa in Florence one day aud
found him playing on an old harp
sichord. The caller asked the artist
why he kept such worthless instru-
ment.
..Why, 1t is not worth scudo!' the
friend said.
IT viii wager" replied Rosa, that
Il shall be worth thousand before
you see 1t again"
A bet was made. Rosa Immediately
painted a landscape on the lid that not
only sold for 1000 scudi, but was &C.
counted work of great merit.

Sometimes it is necessary to build
. house to fit a narrow lot AS a
general thing lots are deep enough to
hold almost any kind OF house. Few
lots in American cities are less than
100 feet from front to back, but be-
cause Of expensive street improve
ments they are often squeezed side
ways until houses get to be very close
neighbors. 1t is unfortunate that It is
80, but we have to take conditions as
we find them ard make the best of 1t.
Sometimes these narrow lots are in
very desirable neighborhoods, conven.
lent for transportation and convenient
for other reasons, and by building
house to At the lot such property
may be made very comfortable and at
tractive.
This design shows a house only 18
feet wide, but the length is 38 feet
inches, exclusive OF the front porch.
Such shape necessarily requires that
one room shall follow another. some.
times with very long. dark, narrow
hall, but this plan avoids that difficulty
by putting room at the back end of
the hall and by connecting the kitchen
with the dining room by way OF the
pantry.
Then the upper part Of the house is
laid out with a bedroom In each end
and bathroom opposite the upper
hallway In the center, This arrange
ment requires that the bathroom shall
be lighted by dormer window. the

Firat Floor Plan

Generally such houses are boxed in
with some kind of wooden fence
that shows signs Of weather wear and
the dilapidated breakage caused by
children at play.
A neat design like this costs very
little more, but what q difference in
appearance The shape of the roof
and the corresponding roof over the
front porch, with the proper placing
of windows, makes the difference in
the outside appearance. The colors
used in painting, of course. have a
good deal to do with the final finish.
A good combination of light shade Of
paint for the body with darker trim
mings carefully chosen to properly
match show to great advantage in the
finish of one Of these houses.
It costs little more when building
