Long Remained Unknown.
Fragonard upon his retirement went
to his native town and stayed at the
Maison Malvilan, the home of Maubert,
where he adapted these pictures to the
walls of the principal salon on the
ground floor and where he is said to
have completed the series by the addi-
ton of fifth subject.
There they remained, practically un-
known, until their sale in 1898 by NJ.
Malvalain, the grandson of NJ. Mau-
bert, when they were taken from a
ulace which afforded them anything
but a fitting and artistic environment.
Lady Dixie, in her French Painters
Of the Eighteenth Century" says that
when she saw them some years before
they were still in position, and she
noted they were executed on canvas,
stretched on wooden frames, which
covered the space between the dado
ard the ceiling, and should evidently
have been Unframed by woodwork car
rying up the wainscot beneath them;
but the paintings themselves were
never completely finished, and prob
ably the return of Fragonard TO Paris
put an abrupt end to the undertaking
The title which has been given to
the set Of paintings appears TO have
been done without the authority OF
.he painter, who. so far as is known,
never gave them a name. They
breathe the air of amorous gayety
which rendered his talent so delightful
to the Paris of his youth. He returned
thither when the political troubles
were over, but found no place in the
new order, and died poor and obscure
in his lodging at the Louvre in 1906.
The titles of the pictures in the
series follow:

ONE WAY TO PAY A DEBT.
A Suit That Lincoln Settled In His
 Own Peculiar Manner.

A crack brained attorney who lived in Springfield. supported mainly by the other lawyers of the place, became in- lebted in the sum of $2.5O to a wealthy citizen of the county. The creditor, failing after repeated efforts to collect the amount due him, came to Mir. Lin coin and asked him to bring suit. Lin coin explained the mans condition and circumstances and advised his client to let the matter rest. but the credi- tors temper was up. and he insisted on bringing suit. Again Lincoln urged him to let the matter drop, adding. You can make nothing out of him, and it will cost you good deal more than the debt to bring suit"
 The creditor was still determined to have his way and threatened to seek some other attorney who would be more willing to take charge of the matter than Lincoln appeared to be. Lincoln then said. "WelI. if you are de- termined that suit shall be brought l will bring it. but my charge will be $10" The creditor paid over the mon- ey and gave peremptory orders that the suit should be brought that very day.
 After his clients departure Lincoln went out of the office. He returned in about an hour with an amused look on hls face. 1 asked what pleased him. and he replied: II brought suit against and then hunted him up. told him what l had done, handed him half of the $1O. and we went over to the squire's office. He confessed judgment and paid the bill." Lincoln added that he did not see any other way to make things so generally satisfactory.-"Th Everyday Life of Abraham Lincoln"

so serious as many at present 1ear' The English statement implies great tenderness for neutrals. Their ships are to be treated considerably. They will not be "captured"; they will simply be taken into port" There is no thought of confiscating them or their cargoes, if the latter con- tain no contraband. Moreover, the official announcement of the British government does not say positively how or when it's retaliatory measures will be put into effect. It merely states that the Allies will hold them selves free" to stop all neutral ship ping to and from Germany. This gives point to the inquiry which our government is at once to send to Eng land and France asking by what means their plans are to be carried out Everything, as relates to the question of law, depends on that. If there is an effective blockade, we | SIldll nave uOlHllS lo ouy. Dut if there is not, it is clear from to- days Washington dispatches that our government will have great deal to say.
 That this new war-complication forces highly delicate and difficult question upon the Washington admin istration, as upon all neutral powers, all must see. Thus far, the attitude towards it indicated by President Wilson is one with which all Ameri- cans must be satisfied. He is not startled out of calmness, nor betrayed into anything like buster, but he is firm in upholding our rights under international law and the established rules of war. First, it is our duty to inquire in what way England in tends to carry out her plans. If not by blockade, the recognized and legitimate means, then it is for us to insist that no step be taken in dero' gation of neutral rights. When such step is taken, it will be in order formally to present our grievances and our claims. The basis for damag- es by the Alabama would not be half so clear as that which the United States would have if England were to detain on the high seas American vessels innocent of contraband. The English government might profess willingness to pay ample indemnities; but that could not make good the loss which it has already suffered, by it's latest action, in the court of the opinion of mankind.-New York Post.

TRAGIC SLEEPWALK
Incident Upon Which BeIIini Based His
 Celebrated Opera.

Somnambulists can maintain their footing in the most perilous places so long as they remain in state of som they instantly lose their self posses sion and balance.
 On one occasion young woman llv- ing in Dresden was seen at midnight walking on the edge of the roof of her house. Her family were immediately told of her plight. but were afraid to go near her. The neighbors gathered about the house and placed mattresses and blankets along the street in hopes that they might save her in case she fell.
 She danced for over an hour on the slanting roof. apparently retaining her balance without difficulty, and every now and then she would advance to the edge and bow to the silent crowd standing many feet below her.
 At last she climbed down on to tho wide gutter which ran ill front of the window through which she had come. with the evident intention of re-enter ing the house. The crowd watching her so intently drew a sigh of relief But. unfortunately. her terrified rela tives, thinking to assist her. had placed two lighted candles in the room neal the window, and as she approached the light fell directly in her eyes.
 Instantly the shock awakened her and she swayed back and forth in her perilous position: then. with d fr"htfn scream. she fell headlonS to the ground She was fatally hurt and died ill q few hours. It was on this tragedy that BelIini wrote his celebrated opera La Sonnambula."
