A LOOK OF TERROR.
How Artist Holder Posed His Mode
to Secure It.

How Artist Holder Posed His Model
to Secure It.
Ferdinand Holders picture "Das
Mutige Webb" (he courageous woman)
has been much discussed in art circles,
especially in Switzerland, the home Of
the artist.
The look Of terror on the woman's
face is lifelike. The story of how the
artist got the facial effects, depicting
fright and determination, Is as follows:
-Four models came to his studio to
sit for the picture. He asked them in
turn to wear an expression such as
they would have on jumping into a
lifeboat from sinking ship in q storm.
Not satisfied with the results, he took
them up to the fat loaded roof Of his
house, which is five stories high, and
placed a chair on the extreme edge.
The poor models were dreadfully
frightened, and each in turn sat wide
eyed on the forward edge of the chair,
too nervous to look in any direction but
straight forward.
The artist chose one of the women
and took up his easel and rapidly
sketched in the face and upper part Of
the figure, though not at all too rapidly
for the sitter.-Munich Cor. New York

Farmers Claim Damages

Kearney, Neb., Sept. 15.-The big
Platte river, with at this time of the
year is usually running bank full of
water from the melting SHOWS in the
Rocky Mountains, is this year as
dry as bone for 100 miles up and
down the stream from Kearney.
One thousand farmers of the Platte
river valley have retained counsel and
are preparing to file claims against
the government because of this con-
dition in the river which waters their
crops. Last Saturday farmers and
ranchers from half dozen counties
up and down the Platte met in this
city to consider the best means of
pushing their claims and a large sum
of money was subscribed to fight the
case through the court of claims as
we'll as to get the matter before con.
gress.
The government has taken all the
water from the river and has turned
it into the Pathfinder irrigation dis
trict in eastern Wyoming and west
ern Nebraska. The Pathfinder dam,
located just where the Platte river
breaks through the Laramie noun
tains, was the first of the big recla-
nation projects to be undertaken by
the government.

aleap and Play.

II we want to sleep every night we

gist Of Dr. G. w. Saleeby's hints on

not so diabolically contrived, he says,
that anything we enjoy is bad for us.

One Way to Catch a Fox.

II you are particularly anxious to do
little surreptitious fox catching try
the following. 1t is the sage Of Lup.
ton who speaks in his Thousand No.
table Things:" "Anoint the soles of
your shoes with piece Of fat swine's
flesh as broad as your hand, newly
toasted or little brolled at the fire,
when you go out of the wood home
ward. And in every Of your steps cast
a piece OF the liver of swine roasted
and dipped in honey. and draw after
your back the dead carcass of cat"
Your fox cannot resist all this, but "be
sure to have man nigh thee with bow
and shafts to shoot at him, or by some
other means to hit him" Good fun this

CURIOUS BURIAL CUSTOM.
The PiseonhoIe Tonbs In Use In the

The PioeonhoIe Tombs In Use In the
Cemeteries Of Spain.
A rather curious and to our ideas
somewhat unpleasing custom obtains
In Spanish cemeteries, All around the
burytng ground building is erected
whose design can only be compared to
that Of nest of pigconholes. often
seen In postotfices and similar institu-
tons. Each pigeonllole is tomb.
When u person dies his relatives hire
a pigeonhole for five years, and the re-
mains are placed inside. The end is
then sealed up with mortar and me-
mortal tablet affixed on the outside.
The lease Of the pigeonhole may be
renewed at the end of the five years,
but II it is allowed to expire the tomb
Is unsealed and the bones removed to
make way for another tenant.
Needless to say. the plan has some
good points. The space taken up by the
"pigeonhole cemetery" is comparative
ly small, as is also the cost Of burial.
Picturesqueness is, however, conspicu-
ously absent, nor Is sentimental grief
catered for. as 1t would be impossible
to 60 and mourn at the grave Of per-
son buried in a pigeonhole SO high up
that ladder was needed to reach it.
To such as prefer the old fashioned
graves the central space Of ground ia
