He Had Modelled.
One day CarpeauX, the painter. asked
Napoleon Ill. who had always ex-
pressed great friendship for him, to
permit him to model the bust of the
Empress Eugene. Her gracious mai
esty admitted that Carpeaux painted,
but denied that he was a sculptor and
modestly pretended that her beauty
was not sculpturaI.
Napoleon III. promised to speak in
his favor and invited him to Cam
piegne. Carpeau1 went. Eight days
passed. The empress did not wish to
pose. The invitation TO the chateau
was for only a week. and Carpeaux
was notified to yield his place. NO"

This response was repeated to the
emperor. who made another attempt
He ended by obtaining her consent to
give pose of two hours to Carpeaux.

made a masterpiece, baked the clay
and proudly showed it to the sover

Carpeaux was furious. He returned

Estimate Optimistic.

Chicago, Sept. love fail to see
anything in the government estimate
issued yesterday to warrant operations
on the selling side.
The government estimate of 1851
million bushels is too optimistic, as
the crop has been further cut down
since the reports from the government
correspondents have been received at
Washington and crop Improvement
from now on is out of the question.
Considering the terrific corn loss
we fail to see any comfort in figures
on wheat and oats for the seller.
Total as given 754 million bushels
of wheat and one billion Sc million
oats will at no time prove burdensome.
A temporary decline can be expected
but we continue to feel friendly to
all grains near present prices.

They're Prepared For Anything, From
Golf to Sudden Death.
The equipment of the travelling Eng
lishman Is the eighth wonder of the
world. He is ready for any emergency
from golf to sudden death. / recollect
once being in a compartment on the
Paris boat train with an English fam
fly and their luggage. and do not
remember ever being so pleasantly en-
tertained as I was on that trip. AS to
the luggage, there were Twenty-Five
pieces of the hand variety which it
took pater a half hour to dovetail
into the racks while the train stood
in the dingy station at Calais and an
other half hour to pry out when we
reached the dreadful Care du Nord.
This was only a detail. however. and
I have never in my life seen a man
work harder to get family OF three
women comfortably settled. 1t was in
vain that they protested against more
wraps and rugs, against smelling salts
and speckled fruit Being a man. he
knew so much better than they wha;
they needed, and he gently but firmly
had his way.
Finally he dozed off to sleep, resting
audibly from his labors. He had taker
off his great coat with its amazing
capes and pockets, and as his coat
tails became parted in his somnolen
writings l plainly saw a good sizet
holster protruding through the afore
said coattails, evidently strapped around
his portly waist.
"Ahar' I said to myself, "here W,
have a mystery! My comrade is per
| haps spy en- route to Germany" Thi!
holster-with its supposed brace of fire
arms-fascinated me unspeakably, ant
about it I built a lovely blood curdlin!

monotonous French country. FINAL,
