One of the most interesting of the family heirlooms preserved by des cendants of the first Chouteau family in St. Louis is a life-size portrait of Mme. Marie Theresa Chouteau, wife of Pierre Chouteau, and who is credited with having been the mother of St. Louis. The picture is owned by Miss Martha Berthold of 4218 West Pine boulevard, a great great ganddaughter, her father’s mother having been a Chouteau and the granddaughter of Mme. Marie Theresa Chouteau. Aside from its historic value the picture is prized as a curious relic. The painting is made on a surface of wood so care fully planned as to deceive the observ er into the belief that it is canvas. It was painted by a traveling artist whose name was not preserved, but who showed by the quality of his work that he was not a novice. The picture, it is believed, was painted while Mrs. Chou teau sat on the porch of the cabin which in the very early days served herself and her husband as a home. Covering the shoulders was a hand somely embroidered shawl, fastened at the neck suggesting that she must have been out of doors when she posed for her portrait. On her head and com pletely concealing the hair was a ker chief, knotted just over the forehead, after the style in vogue in the primi tive days. The date of the portrait is unknown, but it is believed to have been painted shortly after Mrs. Chou teau’s arrival at the river settlement, which wras in 1774. The bloom of youth was still upon her cheek and the ex pression of young womanhood in her eyes. The picture has been handsome ly framed and hangs in the upper hall r the Berthold residence. A glass has never been placed over the portrait. The picture is highly cherished by Miss Berthold and her relatives, and she proposes to place it on exhibition at the World’s Fair.—St. Louis Globe Democrat. POKER FLAT OF TODAY. Little Reminder of tlae Famous Cali fornia Camp of 1852. In 1852 Poker Flat produced $700,000 In gold bullion In a single month and celebrated the event with a triple hanging. Then came the public spasm of virtue which caused the John Oak hursts and the “Outcasts of Poker Flat” to depart from thence and die of cold and starvation on the snow bound road to Sandy Bar. There are no “Oakhursts” nor “Uncle Billys” in Poker Flat today, and when the stranger makes the slow descent and suddenly, by a sharp turn in the trail, comes upon the famous camp, he finds in that huddle of cabins little to re mind him of the Poker Flat of 1852. The famous slope presents almost a picture of utter ruin. There are but eight persons living in the old town, while a hundred dead ones sleep in the cemetery. Some of the graves are marked with wooden headboards, some with stakes, but m..ny have nothing above them. Nearly all of them were laid to rest without religious rites, save a Bible reading by old Charlie Pond, who, though a professional gambler, was selected for the religious office, owing to his excellent voice and oratorical ability. In 1853 and 1854 there were 2,000 souls in Poker Flat, and fifteen stores, five hotels, three dance halls, and seven gambling houses. There is but one man left to day of that original Company. He is Henry Wagoner, an old and grizzled veteran, who delights to tell how ia 1856 a circus came to town and sold 1,500 tickets pf admission at $20 each. “Get Baiy." There is a whole sermon in the par lance of the day, “get busy”—that is, get to doing something; get to work; be a doer of the word and not a hear er only. A dozen synonyms will sug gest themselves for the colloquialism, yet it has, perhaps, a pregnancy of meaning and a rugged force which none of them quite duplicate, as is often the case with the living speech of the people, as compared with the dead speech of the books. “Get busy” is the gospel today. The man who does not get busy is distanced from the start. The stress of competition, the eager pursuit o,f wealth and advancement leave no chance for the man who idles his chances away. Get busy at some thing; even if it is not quite what you like, do the best you can, and hope for better things. But while you are hoping, do not stop working. Get busy—keep busy. Get busy for the good of the community. If it isn’t all it should be, try to make it better, more prosperous, more progressive. Don’t sit like a big frog, croaking all the time, and never trying to do any thing else. Get busy in a hopeful, help ful enterprising way. The man who gets busy has no time to be a busy body; his only interest in the affairs of others is to help where he may. lUmzllQt: the Ox, A Vienna correspondent writes that there is a law In Austria which makes it a very serious offense to insult a public official, or even to offend his dignity in any way. Public officials in clude all railway employes from traffic director to porter, policemen, tramway drivers and conductors and municipal street cleaners. Recently an electric tramcar ran into an omnibus and over turned it. One of the omnibus pas sengers, Frau Sidonie Lankh, wife of a well-known doctor in Vienna, was badly cut and received a severe shock to her nerves, which prostrated her for weeks. After the collision, in her alarm and pain, she cried, referring to the driver of the electric car: “The wretched fellow! Why couldn't he stop sooner?" For this expression she was summoned and sentenced to a fine of £1 13s 8d “for insulting a public of ficial.” DEPTH OF A RAINFALL. Th« Ingenious Method by Which 11 Is Accurately Measured. Probably one question that has puz zled the lay mind is how the depth of a rainfall may be accurately deter- . mined. The way it is done is this: j A funnel whose larger aperture rep-1 regents a surface of 10 square inches is placed in a position where it may catch the direct fall of the rain, with the rim of the funnel extending per haps an inch or more beyond the plat form to which it may be fixed. This is for ahe purpose of preventing any rain from being wasted into the fun nel and increasing the true fall. From this funnel the water runs to a tube, which bears an exact and carefully determined ratio to the area of the funnel’s mouth, say one-tenth. If. therefore, the tube shows water to the depth of an inch, it is clear that one tenth of an inch of rain has fallen.' The tube is provided with a carefully graduated gcale, so that the fall may be readily seen. Three inches of rain would show a depth of thirty inches in a tube one-tenth the size of ahe receiv ing aperture, and the decimals of an inch could be quickly noted by ob serving the Beale. If placed on the roof of a building, the apparatus should be kept away from the edges, to prevent any peculiar slant of the wind carrying into the funnel a larger pro portion of rain than would fall into it under normal conditions. The larg er the aperture of the receiving fun nel is made, the more accurate will be the results obtained. A curious fact that has been noted in connection with rainfalls is that gauges placed on roofs usually gather less water than those placed on the ground. This is accounted for on the theory that the rain in falling absorbs some of the moisture of the air and the greater distance it falls the larger will be the bulk of the individual drops.—New York World. GOVERNMENT CLERKS. Thrift Among Them Increases Under Civil Service Rales. One of the most satisfactory results of the establishment of the civil serv ice law and regulations here, according to an old officer of the government, has been the increasing unpopularity of the borrowing habit among clerks, writes the Washington correspondent of the New York Times. The uncer tainty of tenure of office under the spoils system tended to carelessness in the use of money, and carelessness brought on the necessity for anticipat ing pay by borrowing, sometimes from persons of small capital who demand ed extortionate interest for their loans. Since efficiency has come to be the condition of retention in office and not political influence, thrift lias increased, and hundreds of clerks who were once in the habit of borrowing from month to month are now saving money to pay for homes purchased on the instalment plan, and in such in stalments that many years are given in which to clear off the incumbrance acquired with the property. The de partment money lender as he used to be has almost disappeared, and it is asserted that there are no longer ex members of congress here who derive more money as interest than they ob tained in a year as members of the house. This class of lender was the most dreaded and respected, for when he operated he learned to exercise his political influence in a cruel and wan ton manner in case his exorbitant interest was not paid on time. A Leader's Triumph. Liszt was the first pianist who played whole programmes by heart. Weber seems to have been the first conductor who was able to get along without a score. An acident proved this. At Dresden, one evening, Mo zart’s “Magic Flute” was to be given, conducted by Weber. The moment to commence was drawing near, when it was observed that the score of the opera had not been placed on the di rector’s desk. Great consternation was among the musicians. The court was expected to arrive at any moment, and the orchestra well knew that Freder ick Ai\,vst would be enraged did their instrur nts not burst into harmony as soon as he appeared. The anxiety ex tended to the audience; Caroline, the wife of Weber, looked at the empty desk before her husband with agita tion. Weber saw the danger, but he smiled, and, without losing sang froid, sent some one to search for the score; but the court entered at about the same instant. Weber glanced at his trembling wife to reassure her, grasped bis baton, gave the signal to begin, and conducted the entire first set of the opera from memory, with out a note cf the music, with his usual vigor and ability, even amusing the oiohestra by pretending to turn the pages at the proper moment. The af fair soon became noised about, and reached the ears of the royal family, who personally overwhelmed Weber with compliments. The Uualnee* Side of Yachting. Many private yachts are built as auxiliary business institutions. The owners use them for the entertainment of their business friends, and they find that a business deal can be made to better advantage In a luxuriously furnished cabin, or on a deck arranged for the comfort of the visitors than in an uninviting office. But the majority of the steam yachts owned by Ameri cans are maintained, at great cost, for the pleasure which may be derived from their use. While some of the vessels make long cruises, others are kept near home, but always ready at short notice to carry the yachtsman and his friends to foreign ports, and there is rarely an important meeting of yachts in European waters where the United States is not well renre* I EXCURSION i I to Duluth | 1 August 9, via | GREAT | NORTHERN R.

So far as the combinations exert a monopolistic power over prices—and sometimes they have this power to a limited degree—the result is in all probability usually, but not always, directly injurious to society, writes Jeremiah W. Jenks in the North Amer ican Review. So far as they are able to effect cavings by less expenditure of industrial energy, these savings are directly beneficial to society. They may, in no way affect prices immediately, but be retained by the capitalist or divided between him and the work ingman; or they may—that that ie probably the best social result—be dis tributed through the community im mediately in the form of lower prices. So far as experience goes it seems to show that so far the chief benefit has been retained by the capitalist; the la borers have secured a small part, the great mass of the consumers in some instances none of the benefits, in oth , ers part. The general tendency, how ever, through the beneficial influence of competition, either actual or poten tial, seems to be in the direction of giving to the consumers a larger part of this fund in the future, although both the combinations and the wage earners are likely to retain some bene fit. The even more important question is to the ultimate result upon society of the changed distribution of wealth coming from the influence of industrial combinations on prices has been only hinted at above. It merits careful study. I Only 50 Cents I to make your baby strong and I well.
