When Tissot Was Satisfied.

A charming story is told of Tissot,
the great French painter. While I'm
England on one occasion he painted q
beautiful religious picture and, meet

opinion of his work CharacteriZing it
as a work of real art, she gave re-

care you satisfied" asked a friend.
The artist answered in the negative.
He entirely reprinted his picture,
working night and day. When it was
finished he sent for his fair critic, who
pronounced it admirable, and then she
remained silently admiring it with
smiling criticism.
'Are you satisfied?' once more asked
the friend. NO." replied Tissot as he
began work on the picture for the third
time. When the lady saw the new
painting she gazed at it for some mo-
ments with evident emotion and then,
without word, sank softly to her
knees and began to pray.
care you satisfied nOw?" whispered
the friend. "Yes," answered Tissot.

What the Diver Saw.

While serving on a naval vessel sta
toned at China an old time seaman
had an uncanny experience. He says:
"Our ships company had been ashore
for a route march, and on returning
one of our officers in stepping on the
ships gangway let his sword fall over
board. Being a diver, was sent down
to try and recover it, but as I touched
the bottom 1 saw the corpse of lady
dressed in light material gradually
rise from her resting place of mud.
She faced me as naturally as if she
had been a living person. The disturb
ing of the water by my descending
had no doubt moved the body. 1t was
a sight-and also a fright--which | do
not wish to experience again. The
sword was eventually recovered by an
other diver, for 1 can assure you l
made a record trip to the surface
without seeking further" - London

TO CALIFORNIA OVER THE
TRAIL OF THE OLYMPIAN"
Scenery and Service All the Way.

This year offers the greatest travel
opportunities that Americans have ever
had. Unusually low fares West make
it possible for one to travel farther and
see more wonderful sights than ever
before for the same money.
In planning your western trip, there
fore, do not try to save as much money
as you can but try to see as much OF
the wonders of the Great West as pos
sible for a moderate outlay.
The North Coast route of the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul Railway
affords scenery in greater volume than
via any other route. This is because it
pierces through the heart of three
great mountain ranges mighty
Rockies, the forested Bitter Roots, and
the snow-capped Cascades. Gigantic
feats of engineering have been neces-
sary to do this, and the result is truly
delightful.
The route is called 1.-THE Trail of
the Olympian, because one of the
premier trains of the World THE
OLYMPIAN''-is operated over it.
This is an all-steel train, company
owned and manned by company en-
ployees. A journey on ''THE OLYM-
F1AN is lnQooQ an event, Cn0 cndfm
of which you will always remember
unchanging service amid constantly
changing scenes.
From Seattle and Tacoma you jour
ney south to California over the pic
turesque 'Rainer-Shasta route.
After visiting the Expositions, you
can return home direct from either
Los Angeles or San Francisco, without
change of cars. on the steel-equipped

Stop-overs are available wherever
desired, and side trips can be made
through Yellowstone Park, Rainier Ma
tional Park and in Colorado.
