ONLY THING He COULD Do
Chinese Artist Got Even With Those
Who Employed Him and Failed
to Pay Bill.

The man who orders goods and
then refuses to accept them is a
trial to shopkeepers and manufac-
turers in all lands; a novel way Of
serving such delinquents is de-
scribed in curious little anecdcte
told in "The Memoirs of William
Hickey"
There was Chinaman who took
excellent likenesses in clay, which
he afterward colored, and they were
altogether well executed. To this
mans shop Pott and l went to see
his performances. We found Mr..
Carnegie, surgeon Of the ship Not
tingham, sitting for his portrait, and
complaining violently Of the e1-
tremely ugly phiz the artist was
making. After he had repeated this
several times, the man laid down his
tools, and looking significantly at
Carnegie, said, eli, you handsome
face no have got how can make?"
and turning TO Pot, he continued,
"Here can make handsome face, for
too muchee handsome face have
got" Carnegie was offended at both
observations, and declared he would
not pay for or take the model away.
He kept his wor,, and the next
time we-called at tie shop we found
the image of Mr.. Carnegie tucked
up, hanging by a rope round tho
neck to a beam with several Others.
lnquiring the meaning of that, the
Chinaman, with much anger, an
swered, "All those have too muchee
grand ladrones, give me too much
trouble, make handsome face, no
pay, no take, so mustee hang up."-

Court Finds Use for Autos.

A good story is told of the intro
duction of motor lorries into Afghanis-
tan. H. M. the Amir called a special
durbar to discuss the formation Of q
Motor Lorry company of which he
would be managing director, and ex.
planned what an impetus to trade
motor service would be. At present
valuable market for fruit, etc, was
lost through the length of the Journey
to PeshaNara. A motor l0rry would
cover the distance in a couple Of days,
and the return for the expenditure
would be immediate AS managing
director his majesty would pay half
the costof the lorries and the durbar
could subscribe the rest The scheme
was unanimously approved, and no op-
position was raised to a proviso by
the Amir that the lorries should be
available whenever the court was
moving. Ten motor lorries we're
bought, and the durbaris, it is said
are still wondering when they will
be free from the requirements of the
court and will be available to carry
produce to Peshawur.

What Allied Mrs. Wilson

If you want to know what all
ed the wife of the President,
you may ask either the doctors
or the ministers wives. They
both know. The doctors know
more about Bright's Disease;
but the ministers wives know
more about the complications.
There was the Congressional
complication, and the Mexican
complication, and the European
complication. Does any minis
ter's wife question how Mrs.
, Wilson felt when she read the pa
pers after those eighteen young
men were shot at Vera Cruz?
There is not a parsonage in
Christendom that does not real
ize how Mrs, Wilson felt when
she saw the war cloud rising,
and knew that it meant anxiety
and care and heartache for her
husband. Many and many a
minister's wife has said to her
own heart, Il know what Mrs.
Wilson died Of" Many of them
die of the same trouble. The
doctors have not always called it
Bright's Disease. The particu-
lar organ that broke down under
the strain depended on the con-
stitution of the woman herself;
bat whether they called it
Bright's Disease with complica-
tions, or neuritiS with compIica-
tions, or something else with
complications, it came to the
same thing in the end. 1t is the
complications that kill.
We recently have read the
published letters of Dolly Madi-
son. She was a gay young
woman when she went to the
White House, and she faced
with her husband the criticism,
and bore the burden Of the wal
Of 1872. 1t was just a hundred
years ago, and when the White
House was burned and she fled
from Washington in a buggy to
the place where she expected tC

Montrose had good delegation at the
celebration last week. probably thirty
people coming in autos. However, they
were plainly disappointed ut not getting
q ball game and securing q special train.
Also the visitors from that section de
clared that knowledge of a terrific mud
hole in the edge Of Gunnison county
near the Sam Flohr ranch, had deferred
many from making the trip. Flohr was
compelled to devote oil his time for a
day or SO to hauling autos out of the
mud with his team and according to re-
ports actually pulled twenty five or
thirty out. Certainly if we expect to
enjoy the benefits of other road work
done on the Rainbow Route this mud
hole should be fixed A road is no
better than its worst spot, just as a
chain is no stronger than the weakest
