just the head. The eyes seemed to be
closed, but after gazing at the painting
for some time they appear to open. 1t
is, OF course, merely an artists trick,
but SO wonderful does it seem that
some people regard 1t as miracle.
This is the most popular of religious
paintings. and well over a million re-
productions of it have been sold.
The picture that beats all records is
that of the Eiffel Tower. In two years
one firm of photographers sold over
100000 copies, and at the present time
there are between 5000. 900 and A.
100000 scattered about the world.
Compared with this, the sales of
photographs of the Tower bridge
are quite Insignificant, although they
amount to nearly 100000. Strange
to say. Londoners do not buy many of
these pictures. Most of them are
bought by visitors to the metropolis,
who take them away as souvenirs
The historical interest of the Tower
of London always appeals to those who
come to London for holiday, and
hundreds of thousands of photographs
of, the tower have been carried across
the Atlantic to the states. The sales,
of it greatly exceed those of the Tower
bridge. and since photography became
so popular 1T is estimated that about
100000 pictures of the tower have
been produced. At the small sum of
penny each this would realize
$4,000, but many of these were sold
for and 3 shillings, and even more
The sales of photographs of the late
Queen Victoria were simply enormous
and must during her lifetime have to-
tailed 1000, 900. Thousands of pounds
worth have been sold in the colonies
and in India. and in one case a single
Australian firm took more than $4,000
worth in one consignment. The pho
tographs of Queen Alexandra com
mand ready sale; one firm makes
more than $1,000 year from this
source alone.
To an actress her face is indeed her
fortune. A very beautiful and popu-
lar American actress has m
$4,000 in royalties from the sales of
her photograph, and the firm of pho
tographers who possess the copyright
have Melted between f25, 900 and f30,-
| 900 from sales of it.
On the continent the picture of
| Lame de Pougy, the celebrated actress
| is always in demand. and there are
nearly 700, 900 photographs of her
treasured up in continental homes

Another of John Hanson's suits
went wrong Friday afternoon when
G. H. Whitcomh, judge of the second
division of the district court, denied
the writ of mandamus in the Myers
insanity case. Hanson brought man
damus proceedings in the district
court. to compel Judge Schoch, of the
probate court, to accept Myers on his
own bond pending an appeal of the
case to the district court.
When Judge Schoch denied the re-
quest of Hanson to allow Myers to
qualify on his own bond. Hanson
threatened to mandamus the court.
Schoch invited him to get busy. Then
Hanson went to the office of the clerk
of the district court and laboriously

NORTH SIDE NEWS.
More Agitation for New Post
office Building.
Think Civic Club might Act on
Proposition.
OVER 5000 PATRONS.
Are Supplied With Mail From
Station GA"
Other Items of Interest on
North Side.
OVER 5000 PATRONS.

Is there a possibility of new post
office building on the North side by
the time the lease on the present
postoffice building expires?
If so. what would be the best way
to go about it?
Would the Civic club wake up
enough to take a hand in the matter?
Why not write to Senator Charles
Curtis, a former North side man and
the other congressman from Kansas
about the matter?
These are the questions which are
being asked on the North side today
]. r. Spetter, chairman of the MEM
bership committee of the Civic club,
and a prominent merchant of the
First ward, is taking considerable in
terest in the proposition. 1t will be
remembered that Mr.. Spetter, among
others did good work in getting men,
bers of the Civic club which was -four
ishing at this time last year, but to-
ward fall languished and fell into
stupor from which it has never
aroused.
However since the appropriation
for the new postoffice building on the
South side has been made, Mr.. Spet-
ter and others wish to know that if
the government would possibly make
an appropriation for another building
in the same town.
While the North side is a ward of
Topeka, and it is not customary for
the government to build more than
one postoffice building in the same
city, these facts are being cited by the
North side people: That the present
postoffice building is too small to
handle the mail conveniently. In the
city limits of the First ward are over
5000 people, and with the rural routes
the station "A'' has over 5000 pat
rons.
In addition the building is poorly
lighted, with only windows at the
back and front, making the use of
artificial light necessary a great deal
of the winter time.
Another fact being cited is this:
That considering the First ward as
town, it has a much poorer postoffice
than other towns of the same size.
