Several of her pictures have the great honor to be hung in the Luxembourg, and Miss Cassatt's studio teas are ex tremely popular in the American col only. Miss Cassatt at one of her teas talked to a Philadelphian about an English animal painter. "He painted last \winter," she said, "a number of pictures of dead game. They were highly praised. The man's head was turned. Among the pictures was a group of dead rabbits. A critic commended these rabbits. "'They are remarkably true to na ture,' he said. "'Nature!' the artist exclaimed. 'Yes, I flatter myself that there is more nature in those rabbits than you-ahb--usually see in rabbits.'" SAVED BABY LYVN'Y .ItF .

NERVOUS COLLAPSE Sinking Spells, Headaches and Rheumatism all Yield to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. Lizzie Williams, of No. 416 Ce dar street, Quincy, Ill., says: " Ever since I had nervous prostration, abmut thirteen yeans ago, Ihave had periodical spells of complete exhaustion. The doc tor said my nerves were shattered. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessuess. At the beginning my strength would come back in a moderate time after each attack, but the period of weakness kept lengthening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch. I had dizzy feelings, palpita. tion of the heart, misery after eating, hot flashes, nervous headaches, :hen matio pains in the back and hips. The doctor did me so little good that I gave up his treatment, and really feared that my case was incurable " When I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills my appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted to a degree that I had not experienced for years and my strength returned. The fainting spells left me entirely after I had used the third box of the pills, and my friends say that I am looking better than I have done for the past fifteen years." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are recom mended for diseases that come from im poverished blood such as anaemia, rhen matism, debility and disorders of the nerves such as neuralgia, nervous pros. tration and partial paralysis.

COSTLY SLIPS OF SALESMEN Traveling Man Takes Southern Customer to See "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Customer Breaks Up Show-Customers Once Overstocked Balk a Second Time-Salesman Too Eager to Outwit Competitor Loses Trade--Don't Clip the Goose Who Feathers the Nest. By CHARLES N. CREWDSON, Author of "Tales of the Road," Etc. After dinner J. Charles, son of tne I boss, went up against the real thing. f Along with Watkins, his father's lead- t ing salesman, for whom he was pack- g er, Brewster, the customer, and their i three travelingmen friends, he had lin- 4 gered rather long over the small 1 black; and Monty, the head waiter, had t softly closed the eight o'clock doors be- 1 fore the party laid their crumpled nap- f kins upon the table cloth and left the a dining-room. Watkins was yet to c sell a tedious bill of dry goods, and c the 14 trunks were to be packed that E night, as he and Watkins were to go to Crete on the 12:30 a. m. train. t "Come into my sample room, folks. c i think I have a little better cigar' than you can find downstairs. I threw a couple of boxes of my favorites in N as we were packing up the other day e in Chicago. There are a few of them 1 left." They all retired to the sample 1 room. Watkins passed a box around, i first to Brewster, and then to his other friends. They all took one, but when 3 he came to J. Charles, this young man € said: "No, thanks," and pulled out t his cigarette case. € "Nope, nope, Johnnie - none of that. You had better take that thing and send it back to one of your fraternity friends at Har- I vard. It isn't a very good thing to use on the road. You'd better make a bluff at a cigar." All this was quickly I and quietly said. "You may go to I work packing that trunk of blankets I over there, and the rest of the stuff I against the wall. We are all through t on that side of the house." The traveling men friends soon left, I as they saw he had business to do, I the necktie and furnishing goods men I to pack their own samples. Watkins worked quickly and quietly. Instead I of spreading out a whole line of a cer tain sort of stuff, he would merely t pick out a few of them and say to his customer: "Here, these are about the I best of this bunch," and Brewster would say: "Yes, I think so, too," and Watkins would write down the order and go on to something else. By ten o'clock they had finished and J. 1 Charles had packed seven of the I trunks. He was doing first rate for a I green hand, but when the veteran got i at it he filled the other seven in com paratively a few minutes. All three I then went into the lobby, having two I delightful hours to spend, such as I come into the life of the man on the I road. There was nothing to do but wait for the train. The old-timer's i grip is always packed and ready to go I and his order is usually written up when he closes a bill. Not Always Easy Sailing. "Now, sit with us awhile," said Watkins to Brewster. "You're a little tired anyway, I expect." "All right, I will. The folks at home know I am with you and in good hands." Soon another knot of men of com merce sat together in the lobby. "Well, how do you like the road by this time, Johnnie?" asked Brewster of the young man. "Oh, bully; I think it's great," said he. "It's all right when you have an easy mark like me, Johnnie, but it doesn't come so easy when you strike them all, eh, does it, Wat?" "Well, I should say not! We all, once in awhile, even the best 'of us, get a hard fall. About the hardest tumble ever I knew a fellow to get was once down in St. Louis. A dry goods man named Cook (he's quit the road and gone into business for him self now) used to travel down in Louisiana. He had one especially solid customer down in the Bayou district. Cook had been raised in a little town in Mississippi. He ran a little store of his own and sang bass in the Baptist choir. He was a straightforward, honest fellow-lacked a good deal of being a fool-but he did too much credit business with his brethren and by'm'bye the bank clerk began to come around pretty frequent ly with sight drafts." "You bet, it's a shaky old time, too," said Brewster. "I've been there." "Finally Cook went broke. A friend of his in the shoe business on the road was one of Cook's creditors. In order to help Cook along and also perhaps to get his money back, he found him a job with a St. Louis dry goods house. Cook was as green as a tobacco worm when he first started out-smoked a cob pipe and carried a blacking brush in his grip. One thing in his favor was he kept down expenses, and when ever he got a chance to turn loose that bass voice of his in a Sunday school, he would usually land a big bill the next day if any merchants were pres ent. In the course of a good many years he had sprinkled that voice around in a good many places and had a fair list of faithful customers. Salesman's Lack of Tact. "The little village in which he grew up was a quiet place. Occasionally the young plantation singers would go to meeting, stir up a scrap and carve each other with razors, but in that town no one flashed a pistol. One sea son, while Cook was in St. Louis look ing after his market trade, one of his Sunday school superintendent custom ers came up to the city. His little town also was a quiet berg and the superintendent, while at home, would talk to his lady customers in a low voice and say grace at the table, but when he got up to the city he would invariably take a tire or two off of the water Figon, fill a couple of hind pockets with 44's and talk loud. "One night Cook took his Louisiana friend to the t~eater. Although he had been in market for a few seasons, this was a luxury in which he seldom indulged, so he was not very well up on the stars. Well, what do you ;hink he took his southern customet to see? Uncle Tom's Cabin! I am not famil iar with the play myse:f, but I know tnere is a place in it where southern ers are unjustly criticised. When they came to this part of the play-although everything had been going on pretty smoothly up to £ this time-the man from Louisiana be gan to froth at the mouth. He got up in his chair and drew out his brace of 44's and said: 'Now, look hyar-I d have stood all this kind of business tJ that I'm goin' to. I've kept quiet as long as I can. When you've gone as far as this you're goin' to stop-and stop right now! I want you to un- n derstan' that I'm from the Bayoux of n old Louisiana,' and with this he lev- f eled his guns at the stage. V "I wasn't there, but they tell me that t the actors made about the swiftest 0 change of scene that ever occurred in a St. Louis. A couple of policemen c started down the aisle, but the crowd s was with the man from the Bayoux r and they checked the cops. This a broke up the show, and when the whole thing quieted down the super. intendent looked around for his friend Cook, but Cook had ducked. And, do t. you know, I hardly blame Cook for t getting out of the way, but that little theater party cost him a big bill of I goods and a good customer." a "Notwithstanding the bass voice?" e broke in Brewster. 1. "I threw a fellow a good fall a cou- t ple of trips ago,"' spoke up the shoe i: man. "I'll tell you. A competitor of mine f got off at a certain town the same hour I did. In the place ahead I had g landed a hard blow on him, the trip before, and he felt it. When he saw me in this town he grew to be anxious to get into the next one, so up he v came to his solid customer and told v him the circumstances-I afterwards t learned-and said: 'Look here, now, r I know pretty well what you are using, h and I want to get ahead of my com- d petitor down here at this next place. s Can't you kind of just let me run a through stock for you and I'll give you E an open order without opening sam- a ples; then I can take a team and drive f out to this next place and head him off.' Well, his customer gave him an order of about $240. This was a great deal less than he was in the habit of buying, but my competitor was satis flied with this, thanked him and said he would get the rest of it on his fill ing-in trip. "Now, I myself always worked a little differently from this. With very few exceptions, when I want to sell a man, I want to show a man, and I aim to get through with the business in the town I am in before I go to the next one. I didn't even telephone my man in the next town, because it wouldn't do to seem too anxious, you know. He had had my card a day or two before and I made up my mind that that was good enough. My com petitor had his trunks on the wagon and was driving off just as I came from opening my samples. I went over to see the man he had just left. He tried to joke me a little, told me what had happened and how my com petitor had got ahead of me; but I turned the joke on him quick as a flash. 'Well, don't you want to see the line that he is afraid of?' 'Gad! I guess I'll have to look after that.' And do you know, that fellow went through his stock with me real care fully, sizing up and filling in, and I sold him $750." "Hm-hm," remarked Brewster, "this rushing business doesn't always pay." "Except when you are through with your business and packing samples," said J. Charles, dryly. (Copyright, 1906, by Joseph B. Bowles.) PROUD OF THEIR VISITOR. Western Paper Quick to Notice Au thor's Presence "in Our Midst." When Ambrose Bierce, the satirist and story writer, was living in San Francisco he had a rush telegram one day asking him to come east, says the Saturday Evening Post. He hustled aboard a train, but when he arrived at Williams, Ariz., he received another telegram telling him to go back, that he was not needed then. Bierce .got off at Williams, a most forsaken place. He spied a little rough board hotel up the street, went to it, registered and was given a room and promptly went to bed, where he spent the 12 hours he had to wait for a train going west. As he went to the station he bought a local paper. It was a little four-page sheet, and the first item on the first page read: "Mr. Ambrose Bierce, the well-known author of San Francisco, is in our fair city to-day taking in the sights." Trade of Some Great Ports. Some figures have been prepared re cently showing the value of the trade of the great ports of the world, from which it appears that the trade of London is worth £285,000,000 a year, while that of Liverpool stands at £277,500,000 a year. These figures for the other great ports are as follows: New York, £221,000,000; Hamburg (including the coasting trade) £230, 000,000; Marseilles, £186,000,000; Ant werp (inclusive of river and canal traffic), £150,000,000; Calcutta, £59, 000,000; Bombay, £51,000,000; Singa pore, £43,000,000, and Sydney, £38, 000,000. It should be noted that the figures for the two great British ports do not include the value of the coast ing trade. The probability of London being able to maintain its position as the greatest port of the world is be coming somewhat doubtful.-London Times. Age and Personal Charm An amusing discussion recently took place between an artist and an au thor as to at which period of life a woman was the most fascinating. Ac cording to the artist a woman should not be painted between the ages of 25 and 40, as she was in the greatest transition period of her life; the au thor, on the other hand, declares that she is at the height of her fascination and beauty between the ages of :;0' and 40.

Successfully Paints on Metal. Carl Lunde, a Norwegian artist, has made himself famous by painting on metal, an art even the Japanese have failed in, great as they are as metal workers. Lunde decorates ordinary tin with characteristic designs in col ors and il minates an ordinary tray or plate that would otherwise be cheaply japanned. The method is his secret and only one of many clever nesses he employs to render utility artistic and decorative. A Good Record. Out of all the external remedies on the market we doubt if there is one that has the record of that world renowned porous plaster-Allcock's. It has now been in use for sixty years, and still continues to be as popular as ever in doing its great work of re lieving our pains and aches. It is the remedy we all need when suffer ing from any ache or pain resulting from taking cold or overstrain. Allcock's Plasters are sold by Drug gists all over the world. Playwright's Method of Work. Mr. A. W. Pinero has an unusual method of writing his plays. His work day does not begin until that of the average city man is over. In the morning he goes out, preferably on his bicycle, returning in time for early dinner. Then he has a comfortable sleep, and on waking up, late in the afternoon, he prepares for business. After a cup of tea he goes to his desk and remains working at his play until far into the night Wh AT JovTHEY BRIN as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play-when in health-and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injuri ous or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputa ble physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup.in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent * medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. * Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company-California Fig Syrup Co.-plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required. \ - -tS "s" 1 i+ot + I t t 1 I 11 11 l l__ _ ._ For Infants and Children. - _The Kind You Have Always Bought AVegetablePreparationforAs similating theFood andRegula tingthesto acls aMdbBowels of Bears the Signature Promotes Digestion.Cheerful ness and Rest.Contains neither Opium,Morphine nor MFineral.

"On a certain train," he said, u"a very large, muscular man fell asleep, and annoyed all the passengers by snoring tremedously.
