VON MENZEL.
If there is one public man in Ger
many who detests being lionized,
and, at the same, time, rather
dislikes women, it is the celebrated
painter Adolf von Menzel, Knight
of the Order of the Black Eagle.
He went to Kissingenlhis summer,
as usualj tq take the! waters, and
while there a younlady from
Berlin saw him one eveming sitting
over his beer in a beer houg. She
is a collector of picture post-cards,
and, of course, she wanted to-gey
one in a surreptitious manner from
old Menzel. She accordingly edged
herself up to the painter, with whom
she was not personally acquainted,
and said: "Herr profesor, may
I send you a post-card now and
then?vReceiving no reply she reiter
ated her question. Menzel ended
by nodding his head. "I may,
then?1' "Send them if you like,"
said Menzel; "I have a good large
waste-paper basket at home!"

You Want the Best.
Your Physician aims to pnt
all his knowledge, experience and
skill into the prescription he
wiilet. It is an order for a com
bination of remedies which your
case requires. He cannot rely on
the result unless the ingtedleuts
are properly compounded. .
Be fair to your doctor and
to jonrself by bringing your
prescriptions here. They'll .be
compounded only by registered
pharmacists, who are aided" by the
largest stock of drugs in this part
of the States, everything-of the
finest quality that money can buy
