A ROYAL CONNOiSSEUR.

James B. Laughlin, a wealthy col
lector of Pittsburg, recently discov-
cred a hoax in his gallery and COM
PEELED a dealer to refund the $9,o0O
that has been paid for $50 work OF
art.
Mr.. Laughlin, as this episode shows,
is a cOnnOisseur of no mean ability.
At a recent dinner he pointed out bril-
liantly the limitations and the shall
lowness of court painters" Then he
laughed and said
"A movement was on foot for the
alliance of King Charles of Wurtem-
berg and the Grand Duchess Olga of
Russia. An emissary of the Russian
court came to the young king, laid
certain proposals before him and sub
mitted a portrait in oils of the royal
lady.
King Charles, after a close scru-
tiny, said:
This portrait flatters overmuch.
The eyes are too large and brilliant,
the hair too abundant, the complexion
too flower-lke and the neck and arms
too beautiful altogether
But, you majesty said the aston
ished Russian, you do not know the
grand Duchess
NO said the king, but l know

Making Shoes In -Four Minutes.


How long would 1t take you to make
= pair of boots. do you think? You
probably had better not begin It,
especially II you need them soon.
Even cobbler In the old days, work
ing with his assistant. would spend a
day and a half making pair of boots.
And the cost would be about four dol
lars. But now. of course, shoes are
made by machinery. and 1t Is astonish-
Ing t. learn how quickly they are
made. 1t takes just four minutes to
make pair OF boots And the labor
cost IL about 35 cents. OF course, no
one makes the whole boot nowadays
There are hundred different men
making different parts of it, and each
one does the same thing over and
over again, and each man learns to
do his particular work especially well
and quickly. And you should see the
buttons sewed on! A boy takes the
part Of the shoes where the buttons
are to go and fits 1t into machine,
throws in handful Of buttons quite
carelessly, turns the machine, and in
no time out comes the piece Of leather
with all the buttons exactly in the
right place. No wonder some factories
turn out 10000 pairs OF shoes in a
day.

MR.. CROUCH.

l knew a certain citizen who had an aw-
full crouch,
No matter what the day might bring, he
always beloved "Ouch!'
In truth. he had so long face, wore
such look of woe.
That when he died, most everyone was
glad to see him go.
They put him in his grave to sleep, but
no one shed a tear;
Instead the blithe pall-bearers wore ex-
pressions of good cheer.
And when the mound was heap-ed Ger
they hurried back to town
And everywhere they found a drink they
tried to put it down.
The purpose that they had in view 1t was
to celebrate,
We didn't hear a single word addressed
to cruel fate
For taking off old Mister Grouch-which
was a fitting end
For one who always growled so much he
never had friend.
