Maaaklchl has faithfully reproduced every scar, vein and wrinkle to be seen on his own body. The figure is composed of 1,000 pieces of wood, dove-talled and jointed with such wpnderful skill that no seams can be dectected. Tiny holes were drilled for the recep tion of hairs, and the wooden figure has glass eyes and eyelashes in which no dis similarity to Maaaklchl' own can be de tected The Japanese artist, posed' between two mirror while modeling lh). figure, and for some time after its . cqmpletiqa h posed frequently beside J.t. to tluj.cqnfusipn of spectators, who were often entirely at a loa asto which was the artist .

"That's why she cannot really enjoy her money,", the Burnt One asserted. She cooked and sewed and grubbed till she lost all her taste for refined thing and society. If she ever had any. I just think of all I could do with her money. I know I could be a leader." So you could, you Burnt One, a leader of sycophants. A leader of empty heads like yourself. You have not the brain to that Mrs. Zero la a real aristocrat . She loves the real things.' You are a social vaudevlUlan." You reproach your husband because he has not made money "like Mr. Zero." . You never reproach yourself for not having made the things for which he works seem worth working hard for. 'Mrs. Zero made a home. And he worked and waited to keep making it mora satisfac tory. Why should a man work for you? Why, you hate even cooking the food which he needs to live. Monotonous? The only rea son you think housework Is because you have never experienced the grind and the grill, the pull and the strain, the deadly repetition of work that is the principal part of a business man's life.

Ye Editor had the pleasure of meeting a great number of his brethren of the press dur. ing their stay In the city, and is pleased to be able to say that he enjoyed the exper ience. He hopes also that the visiting editors had as good a time as they professed. They must have been deeply impressed by the solicitude that was shown for them on all sides. No matter where they went, they were not ouly given entertainment galore, but were loaded down with ad vice. for example, the head im presario of the stock yard told them what ' the oountry press might do to help- out the live stock Industry by boosting for the Omaha mar ket At the field club, they were told how they might aid In developing Inter urban elec tric railroads by seeing to it that franchises were granted on terms to suit the promot ers; how they could co-operate with the great railroad sys tems In developing the land and how they could keep out of trouble by avoiding per sonal controversy with one another, and with the public at large. Finally, a schoolmaster of eblllty told them how. much good the public schools do for the newspaper, providing read era and writers and the like for Its uses, and a divine of some eminence gave them much adjuration as to the exact quality of publication tbey should make. If the edi tors put Into practice all the hortatory suggestions made to them by outsiders, they'll not need to hold another conven tion in ten years. When left to their own de vices, they had a bully good time, talking about matters that concern printer's work, the relatione of the editor and publisher to the public, to his fellows in the business, and to the association, and th faot that not a spot on ' the program failed to print up shows that the editor really did do something. But the editor will work out' his own salvation, and do his allotted share of the world s business ail the better for theee days of recreation. and knows just what value to put on the admonitory Injunctions, so freely handed him by those who never tried to solve his problem. ... oseattoa. The reception given th re tiring aoancUman from the Twelfth ward on his return from the west must have oon vtnoad him that his departure from Omaha will be regretted. EIGHT HERE AT HOME Matters that Aro of Pass ing Interest to Oar Steady Perusers. Bob Manley has come out Into the open and acknowl edged that he is a regular edi tor. None of Robert's copy waa ever retused by a local dally, but that didn't seam to satisfy him, and he is now the presiding genius of a heb domedal sheet that is worth twice what is charged for it at the Den. It will never have the biggest circulation in th world, but it will always be read with relish.

Frank Shotwell la our boss llul booster Just now. He isn't looking for anything himself, and that makes It It ail the easier for him to try for something for some one else.

Old Doc Hoffman reports that be performed several am putations on Thursday, the result of frostbites suffered during the day. Gone.

One read with In-, terest of the famous ancient Etruscan vase that owes its beautiful proportions to hav ing been modeled on th lines of a wo man's form. If that 1 a climax in art surely the designer of the modern cos tume deserve th laurel wreath, for the up-to-date gown Is such a triumph in line arrangement that the correctly dreaaed wo man actually suggests the statuesque Grecian vase. These marveloualy fitting gowns are semi-princess or empire In ef fect Th waist line are atlll high, and are either accentuated with satin gtidlea or little fringed sashes if the figure 1 very lender; or the skirt and waist ars unob trusively Joined with simple piping If the figure is Inclined to stoutness, or again one sees some Juno-like creature en circling her tunlo at the waist with a classic cord and dangling tassels. So sklllffully are the gowns of today cut that they give the impression milady wear very few, if any, underclothing, but that I because no par tleuler woman will mar thee studied lines by wearing such a costume over bunchy or 111-fltlng undergarments. As a matter of fact, they are Just as carefully modeled after th human form, and exactly on the am line. Such women will not even use their Jacket pocket for tear of pre senting unsightly "bulge"' on these claasto curve. However, they will dangle a reti cule by long ribbons Just as the olden-time Oreenaway girls do in the pictures. We all remember that Just a little while ago waist and blouse were made of plain material and elaborately trimmed with band of lac cr embroidery. Dame Fashion has reverted this mandate, and today wo see th waists made of allover lace or em broidery, and relieved by flat bands ot plain blaa satin. While there Is no radical departure In the cut of these waists from tha peasant blouse or cute empire effects, there are ever new acessorle to tempt the devotee of fashion. The most striking of these is without doubt the fichu. - The idea first appeared as a sailor col lar and then th cap collar, in every known material upon every outer gar ment Th most effective were made of black and white striped satin on the bias, and the Ingenuity aud exactitude with whloh th stripe met on various seams formed In itself a decorative pattern. The sailor cap was mad often in black satin finished on th edge with plain braid, but both are now wrought In lawn, muslin, mull, net and elaborately lac trimmed. The sailor collar fichu of fins wash fab ric, band embroidered ' or trimmed with real guipure lace, is It highest develop, ment These graceful and becoming ad junct are worn even on coats, and ars so deftly planned that the old objection to th Marl Antoinette flohu of bunchl nes across the shoulders Is altogether obviated. Bom model are rounded at th back, but tbey ar all so big that they male the wearer look cute and small. A fetching . Uty gown for afternoon 1 shown. In the seoond Illustration.
