AN HONEST ARTIST.
He Would Not Paint \ Lie Even For
Napoleon.

There was no love lost between the
Emperor Louis Napoleon and his
cousin, Prince Napoleon. whom the
Parisians called "Plon Plon." The
prince used to make abusive speeches
against the emperor, which people
were only too ready to repeat to him.
let him alone" Louis Napoleon would
reply. "He Is too well known. No
one would turn me out to place him on
the throne"
The emperor was correct. for no one
said a good word about "Plon Plon."
He was commonly v-iieved to have
SHOWN the white feather in the Crimea
and never exposed himself where the
lead was falling. An English lady
who In her younger days mingled with
French society tells in her Foreign
Courts and Foreign Homes" story
as discreditable to Prince Napoleon as
Ii Is honorable to a French artist.
While the artist was painting the
historical picture Of the battle of the
Alma. which the emperor had ordered,
Prince Napoleon called at the painters
studio to make known to him the facts.

When the picture was finished and In.

without a rider.
On hearing of this terrible omission
the prince sent an aid-de-camp to ask

GOOD WORK OF

SECRETARY BENEFITS REPo
SHOWS UP WELL FOR THE
DENOMINATION

The report OF Rev. ]. j. Bennett,
secretary and treasurer of the board
of missions of the Georgia Baptist
convention, was made at Madison.
This report is always awaited with
interest by church people all over the
south, especially in Georgia, and its
submission to the annual convention
is perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture. II
The report for 1908 Is particularly
gratifying to Baptists. The board
has been unusually successful 1e-
spite the financial depression and the
further fact that the Baptist educa-
sioaal board raised 1926 200 for Mer-
Ger University at Macon, Ga.
A net increase OF IL per cent. over
last year Is shown by the report.
The board raised In the state STE
OSo since last December for mission
work of all kinds-foreign. home and

thousands the best previous showing
for the same period.

amount OF money raised for each,

chanical riyeting and calking of boil.
ers and heaters. This work has been
done by hand heretofore and is slow
and an expensive process. The new
machinery will do the same work in a
better way and in much less time than
with the hand methods. The new ap-
paratus is expensive and will cost be-
tween four and five thousand dollars,
with the other installations to be
made. .r
Additional improvements are to be
made in the buildings and the foun'
dry department for the better hand
ling of the contracts now in sight.
This work means additional expense
and additional help.
Mr.. Charles Wardwell, of New
Yory City, has come to the institu.
ton to have hand in the additional
work of the factory Mr.. Sewers
finds it necessary to be on the road

MUSICALE IN CHAPEL.
Last Program of the Term At Penn
College.

The last musical of the winter term
of Penn college was given in chapel
on Friday and an unusually meritor-
ious program was given. Many visit
|ors attested to the interest taken in
these musicales, which have been a
feature of the music departments plan
for their work. The two Penn college
|orchestras were combined and under
rrof. Aliens capable direction made
sweet music from the various instru-
ments, Guy Rowe being especially
good in clarionet solo work. The vo-
calists were all well received and
show evidences of good things in the
future for each of them. The pianists
of the morning each deserve mention
for their painstaking work and genu-
inc ability. The duet by Margaret and
Bessie Price was a pleasing number.
The musical department certainly
deserves much credit for the excellent
showing made by their various pupils.
Prof Burnett has charge of the vocal
work and Miss Hughes the instru-
mental work, while Prof. j. Worth AL

GENERAL TRADE is
MAKING PROGRESS
DuN's SAYS BUSINESS o. TLooK
is IMPROVING.
WARM WEATHER ALSO HELPS.
Gradual Increase in Contracts in Al
Lines The Leather Industry
Shows Heaviest Gain Of
Season.

New York March 2S.-R. q. Dun
and company's weekly review of trade
today says:
Retail trade in spring goods has
made progress and the conservative
buying by dealers in preparation for
current distribution is now providing
good supplementary demand from
wholesale and jobbing house.
Unusually advanced weather in
many sections stimulates business and
agricultural work is making an early
start In the leading industries there
is evidence of gradual increase in con-
tracts, many plants are preparing for
greater activity on April l, while pro.
posed reductions in wages have pro,
duced the threats of strike.
Leather Improves.
J. The best news of the week as to
manufacturing conditions comes from
the leather industry, although ship
ments of footwear through Boston are
only about two-thirds those of the
same week last year. Dispatches from
the west and south are most favorable
as to the general commercial situation
few cities reporting the volume OF
business fully equal to last years, and
these statements are supported by
bank exchanges at these points about
the same as in 1907. There is still
complaint regarding mercantile col
lections, although Improvement is
noted.
| Progress in the iron and steel in
dustry continues irregular, activity
increasing in the wire and plate de
! partments. while heavy lines await
revival of normal demand. The out
look is encouraging, however. Minol
metals have advanced still further
Influenced more by the London mark
ct than domestic demand, although
the latter shows a fair increase.
Textiles Looking Up.
In the primary markets for textile
fabrics there is more inquiry, especial
ly in some small quantities of cottor
to be shipped promptly.
The decline in price of raw materia
has had a depressing effect on thu
tone of the market for cotton goods
| and actual improvement is Therefore
the more gratifying, while finishes
products are no cheaper. Expor
trade is light. The market for WOO
en- goods continues very narrow ant
no development is expected until aft
err Easter
Signs of Improvement are seen il
the New England footwear industry
although many leading manufacturer
still report trade quiet.
