The picture In the academy represents only six hours work. l have always had to draw and paint very rapidly. It is a necessity for military purposes. In doing sketches from balloon, for example, which I have often done. you have to draw and paint very quickly. I have paintings of places In which I have been stationed all over the world, and I have always trained myself to paint as rapid ly as possible. whether in oils or water colOrS.'

RODDENBERRY AND
 NEGRO IN FIGHT

Washington, June 1.-Representative S. A. Roddenberry of Georgia came to blows with a negro in street car tonight. No great damage was done by the combat ants, so quickly were they separated. The incident, however, caused no little excitement on the car and was a fairly fit close to a day that had not been de. void of excitement at the capitol.
 MT Roddenberry, Speaker Champ Clark Representative Ollie James and Represen- tative Ben Johnson of Kentucky were among a number of democratic members who had boarded the car for their homes upon the conclusion of the caucus short ly before midnight. A negro man and woman got on and the woman sat in a narrow space beside MT Roddenberry. There remained but a few inches of the longitudinal seat that was not occupied. This was between Mr. Roddenberry and the woman. Her escort sought to fill the space with bulk twise that of MT. Roddenberry, who is in the bantam class"
 As the negro seated himself and showed back Mir. Roddenberry demonstrated. Tho negro made some reply and showed an elbow into the representatives ribs. In an instant the Georgian was on his feet and had landed three or four stiff blows upon the negro's face.
 The negroN promptly made for MT. Rod denberry and aimed two or three blows at him. The Georgian was quick as light ming and ducked or sidestepped them all Speaker Clark, MT. James and MT. John | ants. The conductor and motorman also appeared and offered to put the negro off the car. The representatives, however, decided that Mr Roddenberry had assert ed himself vigorously enough to teach a lesson and intervened on the negro s behalf. He was permitted to remain on the car No arrests were made.

Then All Is Beautiful

Thackeray: The V1rElnlanS.
 When man is in love with one woman in a family it is astonishing how fond he becomes of every person connected with it. He ingratiates himself with the maids: he is bland with the butler; he interests himself about the footman he runs on errands for the daughters; he gives advice and lends money to the young son at college; he pats little dogs which he would kick otherwise; he smiles at old stories which would make him break out in yawns were they uttered by any one but papa; he drinks sweet port wine, for which he would curse tho steward and the whole committee of a club: he bears even with the cantanker- ous old maiden aunt; he beats time when darling little Fanny performs her piece on the piano; smiles when wicked. lively little Bobby upsets the coffee over his shirt

History of the
ky Common Pin

The common, ordinary garden variety
Of pin has been quantity and polntedly
termed 'the emblem of attachment"
and It is a wonder to think that women
ever lived without these attachments.
Tor there Is hardly an hour of the day
when we do not have the need OF pins.
They hold many OF our hats together,
and woman has even been known to
keep an obstreperous shoe button in
place with their aid. The ordinary pin
was first invented and brought into use
about the beginning OF the sixteenth
century, though there we're pins made
Of metal in their present form as early
as ibls. and In that year an English
statute was passed called IAN act for
the true making OF pynnes," which linn
tied their cost not to exceed shillings
and pence a thousand.
Previous to this pins were made OF
borwood, bone and silver. but only the
rich. or course. could afford to buy
these. The poorer classes having to
use pins made them of common wood,
like our skewers.
When pins first came into use they
were favorite New Years gift. Men
presented them to the girls of their ac-
duaintance much as they do flowers In
these days. or husbands gave their
wives an equivalent In money, which
was called pin money" an expression
which later on grew to be known as the
amount OF money which husband laid
aside for his wife for her private ex-
penses.

ouR FRIEND THE MIRROR.

A girls mirror is wise and candid
friend II she studies II with an honest
desire to remedy what she finds amiss.
Dull eyes and a rough sallow skin are
natures plea for more fresh air and ex-
eroise. and no cosmetics can take the
place OF these, but a careful survey OF

in which tho general effect" of her
appearance may be improved. 1t would
be we'll II women talked occasionally
before looking glass. for this would
cure them OF many mannerisms which
annoy their friends. Vivacious girls
often make quite unnecessary display
Of teeth and gums when speaking.
Some twist their lips into all kinds OF
fantastic shapes or frown ferociously.
II they talked before their looking
glasses they would soon mend their
ways.

A DELICIOUS CAKE.

A DELICIOUS cake is made oy rs
ing English walnuts and raisins
together. The recipe calls for half a
cupful OF butter one cupful OF sugar,
half oupful of milk. two eggs. a cup
ful each of raisins and chopped nut
meats and two cupfuls OF pastry -four
sifted several times with half level
teaspoonful OF soda and a rounded tea
spoonful Of cream OF tartar. Beat the
butter to a cream. add the sugar grad
ually and continue beating until a light
creamy mass is formed Add the yolks
OF the eggs beat again and stir in the
milk. Sift the -four several times with
the soda and cream OF tartar and add
the raislns and walnuts. Then grad
ually stir the moist mixture into II, and
when smooth batter has been formed
fold the whites of the eggs through It
after beating them to a stiff froth.
Bake tho cake in broad shallow pans
for thirty-hve minutes in a moderate
oven. One teaspoonful and a half OF
baking powder may be used instead
OF the soda and cream OF tartar.

sticker Cupid or two are pasted. The
red heart stickers on one OF the cards
about real box Of parlor matches are
pretty and appropriate decoration
for the inscription which runs, Shall
We Strike a Match?"
For confirmed old bachelor nothing
could be more significant as a warn
Ing than the valentine depicting a
most unattractive baldheaded man.
Around the grotesque presentment,
fancifully lettered, is the doEgerel:
you'll be an ugly old bach Just like
this II you don't make a choice pretty
soon. That's why send you a valen-
tine wish that you'll find the right
girl and right soon" This is the plain
unvarnished text--not put UP into
poetical form. The illustration best
shows how Il is done.
The coquette will probably send 10
some poor suffering victim of Cupid
the heart wringing valentine. In this
device a toy patent clothes wringer is
pasted between two red hearts, and
the heart wringing song is as follows:

In fact. that's my vocation.

Whatever your vocation.
'Here red heart stickers take the place
Of the written word.
