MILLErS POVERTY.
Incident In the Life of the Great
French Painter.

Incident In the Life of the Great
French Painter.
1t seems almost incredible that Mil
let, painter of 1.-THE Angelus" and 9TH
err now world famous pictures, should
have suffered from the poverty that
forms the basis of the following story
but it is a fact that he did: One day,
indeed. he found himself without food
in the house for himself and his fam
fly. In his extremity Diaz offered to
take two of Millet's drawings to Paris
and make an effort to sell them. Even
ing came, the Millet family anxiously
awaiting their friends return. If he
came back without the drawings it
meant bread; with them, hungry to
bed. Night fell, the family sitting in
darkness because they felt they could
not afford light
At last they heard the stamping of
DiaZ's wooden leg as he crossed the
little paved court and his lusty voice
calling out: Light! Light! Where is
the light?" The family hurried to light
a candle. But even while the head of
the old fashioned sulphur match still
was spluttering Diaz, who was a Span
lard and nothing If not Temperament.
tai, slapped down two loaves of bread
on the table, one after another, In
quick succession. When at last the
candle was burning he drew out GO
francs in gold, all save one piece.
which he had been obliged to change
In buying the bread. He arranged the
gold pieces in a circle like a halo
around the candle, ending with the
change, of which he made neat pile.
"Ah," sighed Millet as he regarded
the unhoped for treasure. ''if only
could count on a sum like this every
week."
Would you turn capitalism re.
proachfully asked Diaz.
If to suffer is a spur to genius, is it
wonder that these Barbizon men
were graat painters?
Theater Seats.
The seats were in the orchestra on
the theater's left. 'The left side of the
house always sells out first" said the
box Office man. Everybody seems to
prefer it to the right. l don't know
why. Boxes especialy-we can sell
two left to one right box every time
Nobody takes the right side for choice.
And there is no reason for this. As
much goes on in the right extremity OF
the stage as in the left-we proprietors
always look after that-and you see
just as much from the right as from
the left side. Why, then, is the left
side always at a premium ?"-New Or

Weighing a Horses Stern.


Some of the officers and men Of a
vessel once anchored in the harbor Of
Funchal, Madeira, went ashore for q
horseback ride around the island.
About halfway up the mountain we
came across little mizzentopman,
flushed and evidently very warm, rid
ing a spirited little horse with a stone
tied up in q silk handkerchief slung to
his tail.
The first lieutenant laughed and said,
"what are you doing with that hand
kerchief, Brown"
'Why, you see. sir" said Brown,
"that when | first hitched her up she
pitched badly, being too much by the
head. so I just rugged this stone on aft
and brought her down to her bearings,
and she sails now like clipper, SIR

Not a Common Person.
Her Little Game.

A Scotch couple were walking down
one of the main thoroughfares of a
city, and the husband noted the atten.
ton which other women obtained from
passersby and remarked to his better
half:
Folks never look at you. wish
had married some one better looking"
The woman tartly replied: ITS your
fault. Do you think man will stare
at me when you're walking with mel
You step behind and see whether men
don't look at me.'
The husband hung back about a
dozen yards and was surprised to see
every man his wife passed stare at
her and even turn and look after her.
"Sure, lassie," he exclaimed as he re
Joined her, Il was wrong! I'll never
say aught about your looks again"
The wife had made face at every
man she met.

A BRAHMS ANECD0TE.
The Man Who Spoiled an Evening For
the Great Composer

tne 1reat composer.
Among the Brahms anecdotes which
are popular in Germany this one was
contributed by Frau Luise Pohl
Brahms liked Baden Baden and took as
much pleasure in winter visit to the
place as in the crowded summer time
The residents knew this when they in
vited him in 1876 to come and direct
some of his works After the con-
cert the friends of the master assem-
, bled at Goldemen Kranz by invitation
of the oberburgermeister gamer to
"drink a glass of wine" The session
lasted long but gradually the company
grew smaller Presently they had all
gone except Brahms and Cornelius
Rubner. After awhile even Brahms
suggested home, and his young COM
panion eagerly agreed to adjourn the
session. On the way home Brahms
asked his companion, whose name he
had not heard, by the way, do you
know this young director Rubner?"
"Are you interested in him?" he ask
ed by way of answer.
Certainly. Adolf Jensen thinks he
is not only great, but genial. Don't you
know him?
Il know him very well. He is an ar
rogant, conceited fellow, who can do
nothing and knows nothing"
The pleasure of the evening was
spoiled by this harsh opinion as to a
man whom Brahms had made up his
mind to like. The next morning he at
tended, with some others, a breakfast
at Jensen's, where he told the story.
He had hardly finished when the door
opened and Rubner walked In.
'That's the man who slandered your
friend" said Brahms, and when ev-
erybody laughed he suspected what
was told to him as soon as the first
man recovered

There is only one way TO cure deaf.

famed condition Of the mucous lining
OF the Eustachian Tube When this
tube is infamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
1t is entirely closed. deafness is the re-
suit, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing win be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of

POSTAL VIOLATIONS
CAUSE OF VISIT
Inspector Fletcher Reported
To Be After Local People.

Inspector Fletcher, of the postoffice
department, has been in Richmond
yesterday and today, but what his
special business is, is not known. II
is surmised that it pertains to the VIC.
lations of the postal law, recently re.
ported, in which first class matter was
mailed by number of persons, as
matter of a lower class. The collec,
ton Of fines for this offense. the coun
try over, is reported to be running to
very large sum. The law on this
subject says:
;. For knowingly concealing or en-
closing any matter of a higher class
in that of lower class. and deposit
ing, or causing the same to be de
posted, for conveyance by mail at &
less rate than would be charged fol
both such higher and lower class. the
offender will be liable to a fnc OF 81

Several Have Been Given Ser

They Do Not Want to Serve.
SALARY is ONE OF THE
REASONS FOR HESITANCY.
Position Only Pays ST, 900 Per
Year-StaubaCh Is Still Be-
ing Talked of as Good Man
For the Place.

There are various reasons why May
or Richard Schillinger has delayed in
making his appointment of a member
of the board of public works to succeed
Clifton w. Merrill. who resigned TO
become city clerk. succeeding John F.
Taggartt. resigned. One of these rea-
sons is that he wants to find some
member of his party, democrat. VINO
can afford to give practically all of his
time to the city's business at the salary
of $1,000 a year. No doubt the new
member to be appointed will be presi-
dent of the board. and this makes it
all the more important that man well
qualified for the place be selected. It
is known that various men have been
under consideration for the place, but
as most of them are engaged in such
business that they could not afford to
give their time TO the city at a salary
the board pays, it would be difficult
matter to get their services.
George Staubach, we'll known dem
ocratic member of the police force, has

might leave him without other employ

Other men who are mentioned il
connection with the place are Johr

| Adolph Blickwedel. Rumor has i
that either of these would be willing Il
take the appointment. but whether
they have prospect of favorable con
