"Squanders" Money for Dress.
The girl went to work with a will
and her conduct was exemplary But
the father was not quite satisfied. He
was interested to know what she was
to do with her wages. He wanted her
to contribute her earnings to the sup
port of the family. But the girl. is
seems, soon developed a taste for fem
mime fnery far in advance of her sta
tion and income. At the end of the
first week she received the magnificent
sum of 50 and instead of depositing it
in the family exchequer. she went
straightway and squandered s1.65 for
a new dress. The remaining 35 cents
she took home to her parents. This
was too much for the old gentleman
and he emitted a roar that was long
and loud, causing the neighbors dog
and chickens to fee in terror. He then
and there laid down an iron clad rule
that henceforth and then the young
! lady should bring home every cent of
her wages and allow her mother to Sc

FIRST PORTRAIT OF Copies.
Accepted Beating in Order to In
sure Its Success.

John Ople, the English painter, is
described as man of humble origin,
who achieved success wholly by his
own genius and perseverance. The
story OF his first effort in that line of
ART which arterward brought him fame
he related to Coke, first earl of Leices.
Ter OF Holkham, as follows:
When small boy of ten or twelve
ne was left al home one Sunday after
noon with his father while his moth
ef Went to church. The father esJab-
llshed himself in the parlor with his
bible, and told the boy to be quiet
and amuse himself.
Young Opie, who had procured some
paints TOOK up a position unobseryed
IN the Kitchen directly opposite the
parIor door Very quietly he drew
portrait OF the old man bending over
ms hibie, Until he had finished every
thlng eXcept the head, when he began
running Backward and forward to
study his fathers face.
The old gentleman grew very angry
at these apparently senseless Interrupt
NsSiis' t'iA't Ittsltlleu 10 PUNISH HIS
son II they continued
This was exactly what the boy want
ed, us he wished paint his fathers
eye Lit ups and sparkling with anger
SO he continued his irritating behay-
lor until IT met with the desired re-
suit, and his father, justly wrathful,
administered sound thrashing.
This achieved, the boy resumed his
task eagerly, and transferred to his
picture the expression which he had
just seen upon the face of his indig-
nant parent.
When his mother returned from
church, he placed the picture tri-
umphantly before her; but although
astonished and delighted with it, she
thought it her duty to scold her son
severely for painting on a Sunday.
Young Opie, however, cared no more
for the scolding than for the beating
he had received in accomplishing his
work. and only Rugged his mother de-
lightedly in his excitement at its sue
cess.
His father, coming into The room at
this juncture, and spying the portrait
OF himself was so surprised and
pleased at it that he told the mother
not to scold the boy any more.
Subsequently,, Whenever the picture
was shown, he used to tell with great
relish the story OF young Opies plucly
acceptance of beating in order to in
sure its success.-Youth's Companion.

Monument to Poe.

What has the world to do now with
the weaknesses of a man who is dead?
Why should it heap scorn on his mem
DRY because of his personal peculiar
tiles? Poe the living man was unfor-
tunate, buffeted in turn by cruel cir
cumstances outside himself and by the
perversities of a nature he could rot
control and other people could not UNI
derstand. But he was and is today
the finest poetic genius the country
has produced. AS a writer of the short
story he founded a school which the
best of the French, the German and
the Slav short-story writer's have been
proud to follow. 1t is because of his
matchless, haunting melodies of verse
and the rich world of his imagination
revealed to us in his short stories that
Poes memory should be honored. His
frallties as man persisted with him.
there is no need to keep them in mem
Dry But that imperishable part of
him which we call genius deserves its
fame. Monuments are not raised to
the fawless alone. If they were there
might be fewer. even in proud Rich
mond, to lift the names of favored
sons upward to the sky.-Washingto

Baths of Lemonade.

The very latest thing in Paris is the
lemonade bath 1t is supposed to be
cooling, refreshing and beneficial.
\ pretty Partisan actress has insti-
tuted the fashion of letting her friends
see her take lemonade plunge In a
charming directore bathing dress,
with her hair tied up in yellow rib
bons, she sat and received her guests
in white tub draped with yellow and
filled with lemonade, with pieces of
lemon peel tloaing about on the sur
face
4 glass of iced lemonade was given
20 each guest, and for those who
would join in the novelty lemonade
baths were arranged and directoire
bathing dresses provided.
1t is scarcely likely that this form
of the bath will ever become really
popular, but as an advertising scheme
for young actress it is certainly far
better than lost jewels.-New York

USES OF PICTURES.
Have Been Frequently Diverted from
Their Prime Purpose.

Though the prime purpose of pic
lures is to please and instruct. they
have at times been diverted TO other
uses. During the recent hearing of
a case at London police court a wit
ness gave evidence that the prisoner
who was charged with attempted muir
der and suicide, had drawn his atten-
ton to a couple of pictures on the
backs of which, written in pencil, was
a statement by the accused setting
forth the reason for his premeditated
crime
Ere now pictures have been enlisted
in Hymen's cause. That celebrated
painter of flower and figure subjects
William Hunt, was on one occasion
commissioned by a gentleman to paint
his portrait in the attitude of lneeling
and holding in his hand an open scroll
whereon was written a declaration of
love and offer of marriage. The lady
10 whom this unusual proposal of mar
riase was sent replied with chalk
drawing of herself. with a sheet of
paper in her hand on which was in
scribed a laconic Yes"
