Of unsigned paintings the Dussel-
dorfer Zeitung tells an amusing story,
which may interest picture buyers.
Achenbach. the German artist. enjoy
ed vogue some years ago. A certain
collector had bought from an art deal
er seascape represented as genu-
inc Achenbach. Afterward it was
pronounced to be a copy. The buyer
brought an action against he dealer,
who turned the tables by declaring
that his picture was genuine and the
other was copy.
Achenbach himself was summoned
by the courts to tell which was which.
Amazed at the absolute similarity of
the two paintings. he gazed at them
for long time, inspected them closely,
front and gack. shifted them and then
frankly admitted he could not tell
which was the original and which the
copy.

trait study taken off the stretcher and
rolled under his arm. ventured to call
on Whistler one Sunday morning. His
modest knock brought the great man
to the door. says writer in Great

The artist Stammered out that he
was student and had a study that he

Jealous competitors have worked to

A Town In the PHILIPPINES,

Santo Domingo has population Of
about 1000 and is entirely different
from any other town in the Philip
pines In the first place. all the build
ings are of stone. whitewashed. The
roofs are made of cogon grass. closely
trimmed so as to afford no purchase
to the severe typhoons which sweep
over the islands. The streets are about
twelve feet wide. many Of them paved
with stone Some walls extend along
both sides of the streets their full
length. giving them the appearance OF
lanes The walls are about three to
five feet in height. broken at intervals
for entrance to the yards. which in
turn are separated from each other by
stone walls. Most of the yards are
clean and exceptionally neat and at
tractive.-Manila Times. @

A LAWYERS Paradise.

Naples. under Spanish rule in the
eighteenth century. was overrun with
lawyers. OF their profusion Joseph
Addison had this to say:
1T is incredible how great a multi
tude of retainers 10 the law there are
at Naples 1t is commonly said that
when Innocent NJ. had desired the
Marquis Of Campo to furnish him
with 10000 head of swine the mar
quis answered him that for his swine
he could not spare them, but if his
holiness had occasion for 10000 law
yerS he had them at his service
1t seems TO have been a golden age
for lawyers, for, as the author says,
there are very few persons of con-
sideration who have not cause de-
pending. for when a Neapolitan has
nothing else to do he generally shuts
himself up in his closet and falls a
tumbling over his papers to see if he
can start a lawsuit and plague his
neighbors. "-Dietetic and Hygienic Ga

Banks on the Lookout.

A merchant in large city allowed
his name TO be posted in his club three
times for nonpayment of dues. A few
days after the last posting he applied
to his bank for loan When the ap-
plication came up to the banks credit
man-that newest of banks impor-
tant Officials-he pulled out the Gus
toner's history card.
The latest entry was one typewriter
sentence. Does not pay his club dues;
three times delinquent" The loan was
refused The merchant was either
careless. near broke or unappreciative
of his credit standing. Any of these
reasons looked bad to the banker
Business men do not realize how
closely their banks watch them-how
much the banks are bound to know
about their affairs. how much seem
ingly small things in their daily lives
affect credit. and big things that they
sometimes want to conceal too.-Sys-

His Turn Came.

Ben Davis defeated President Madi-
son for election TO the Virginia house
of delegates after Madison had left the
White House. Old Davis. who seldom
wore a coat. was sitting on a rail fence
on the roadside in Greene county one
morning when young man dressed in
Gapper fashion and evidently from the
city passed by.
Good morning. said David, with
the proverbial Virginia politeness.
To this the stranger paid no atten-
ton. In few minutes. however he
came TO fork in the roads and was
evidently In doubt which way he
should go. He retraced his steps to
where Davis still sat on the fence and
asked him with great politeness if he
could tell him which way led to Stan
.ardsville. Davis made no reply.
will you please tell me-" the young
man repeated. (which road / take to
get to Stanardsville?"
