died remarkable old man, a septua-
genarian named Fraissard. He died
in poverty, but had he chosen he
could have become one Of the most
famous European sculptors. AS 1t
was, he finished life as he began it
more or less penniless. When a boy
he was apprenticed to marble cut
ter, and he at, once discovered his
powers in this direction. For 80
years, says the London News, he had
continued to execute the most beau
tiful works of art, mostly in mosaics.
M. Fraissard's masterpieces took him
nearly twenty-four years to perfect.

The rainbow monkeys name is the

hideous face are deep grooves of pur-

are tiny and glow like ugly sparks OF

battle. When n was over, the strike
breakers had fed and two score and

not wholly out of modesty; no re.

more fnesse was employed. Only one
person had an inkling OF this project
and she kept we'll the secret.
There was heard a merry cracking
of whips. One by one Quinby won
the minor stockholders over to his
primary object and approached the
point where he could deal the blow

approached on the matter, for the sui.
