DON'T LIKE TO PAINT MEN
Mlniaturlsts Declare They Are Too
Coarse and Harsh to Be Good
Subjects.

Perhaps woman suffragists don't
need to be cheered up a bit, but If
they do they may find note OF glad
ness In the fact that there is another
class of persons besides themselves
who have no use for a man. They
are miniature painters.
Cant you paint man in minia-
ture?" said the visitor, who had been
looking at dozens of dainty feminine
likenesses which reposed in cab.
lnet uncontaminated by association
with single man.
I'VE can," said the artist, "and we
do, occasionally, but we don't want
to. Men don't look well in minia-
lures. They are too harsh, too
coarse. If miniature is going to be
a real work of art 1t must have for
it's subject something dainty, fluffy,
and lacy. There Is nothing very fluf-
fly or lacy about mans stiff linen col.
lar, his unsightly lapels, his straight,
short hair. In the days when men
wore satin coats and powdered curls,
miniature painters might have been
able to work them up into pleasing
picture, but you don't meet many
men nowadays who wear satin coats
and powdered curls. OF course, If a
man dressed in the ugly modern cos
tune wishes to be painted in minia-
ture no artist is going to refuse the
commission, but she certainly will
not approve of his taste"

A Useful Baby.

Speaking of tricks to win the SYM
pathy of juries in criminal cases,
Judge Willard M. McEwen, in a re-
cent address before the Illinois States
Attorneys association, said: Il know
of four cases where baby played a
prominent part in getting the acquit-
tai of the defendant. and l later
learned that the same baby had been
used in each of the cases, although
the supposed mothers in each case
were different women."-Law Notes.

Not Ashamed of Economy.

Discussing England and the English
from an American point of view, re-
cent American writer in England OBJ
serves: Nobody, from the king of
England down, Is either ashamed or
afraid to be economical. Here man
or woman is thought to be a fool
or vulgarian who is not careful of
expenditure, while in America our
walters have been clever enough to
make it appear that economy is mean.
and as a nation we suffer according
ly. We are fools to be fooled in this
manner"

NESsgD HARD
Coffee's Weight on Old Age.

When prominent men realize the in
furious effects of coffee and the change
in health that Postum can bring, they
are glad to lend their testimony for
the benefit of others.
A superintendent of public schools In
North Carolina says:
my mother since her early child
hood, was an inveterate coffee drinker
and had been troubled with her heart
for number of years, and COM
planned of that weak all over feeling
and sick stomach.
Some time ago was making an Of
fetal visit to a distant part of the
country and took dinner with one of
the merchants Of the place. no.
ticed somewhat peculiar flavor Of
the coffee, and asked him concerning
it. He replied that it was Postum.
II was so pleased with it, that after
the meal was over, I bought pack
age to carry home with me, and had
wife prepare some for the next meal
The whole family liked 1t so we'll, that
we discontinued coffee and used
Postum entirely.
Il had really been at times very anx-
ious concerning my mothers condition,
but we noticed that after using
Postum for short time. she felt SO
much better than she did prior to its
use, and had little trouble with her
heart and no sick stomach; that the
headaches were not so frequent, and
her general condition much improved
This continued until she was as well
and hearty as the rest of us.
II know Postum has benefited my
self and the other members of the fam.
fly. but not in so marked degree as
in the case of my mother. as she was
victim of long standing"

ing notices:
Keep out of doors all you can.
Breathe outdoor air, live in it, revel

Uncle Josh Perkins.

Uncle Josh Perkins" the big ru
raj play, which is coming to the OPP
era house on February II, is re-
plete with smiles and thrills and is
declared one of the most life-like
dramatic offerings seen here in
long time, true to all the scenes it
attempts to depict and with vivid
types of characters life-like and nat
ural in presentation. Uncle Josh"
is voted a big success wherever
seen. The four acts are equally di-
vided between New York City and
Vermont, the play centering about
the efforts of sharp New York at
torney to marry Edith Marston, an
heiress, for her money. How his plot
is foiled by Uncle Josh and the
happy termination, make a seeable
play, which will doubtless attract
a large audience. Splendid special
ties will be presented during the
various acts of the drama,

The south will never grow weary

This is not surprising since this
wonderful organization of mystic
night riders once formed an essen

Thomas Dixon, Jr. was the first per-
son who told the true story of the
Khan in dramatic form and his
"Clansman" has now become a
household word in the south and in
fact throughout the entire country
In THE Traitor play equally as
strong as THE Clansman' which
will be seen at the opera house Feb.
10, Mr.. Dixon, with the assistance
of the celebrated dramatist, Chan
ming Pollock, takes up the story OF
the Khan where it stopped in The
Clansman" and follows it out in an
intensely dramatic manner to the
final dissolution. People who have
seen the play say that it is so full OF
dramatic surprises that it holds the
undivided attention of any audience
from beginning to end.
