DU MAURIER AND MOSCHELR& DREAMS OF GREAT MEN.
Tint Meeting of I ha Two Great Artiste
In Gay Bohemia.
We first met in Antwerp In the clasa
rooms of the famous academy, saya
Moscheles In the Century. I was paint
ing and blaguing as one paints and
blagues in the storm and stress period
of one's artistic development. It had
been my good fortune to begin my
Btudies in Paris, where in the Atelier
Oleyre I had cultivated the essentially
French art of chaffing known by the
name of "la blague Parislenne," and I
now was able to give my less lively
Flemish friends and fellow-students
the full benefit of my experience. Many
pleasant recollections bound me to
Parte, so when I heard one day
that a "nouveau" had arrived straight
from my old Atelier Gleyre I was not
a little impatient to make his acquaint
ance. The newcomer was Du Maurler. I
sought him out. and, taking It for
granted that he was a Frenchman, I
addressed him In French. We were
soon engaged in lively conversation,
asking and answering questions about
comrades In Paris, and sorting the
threads that associated us with the
same place. "Did you know un nomine
Poynter?" he asked, exquisitely
Frenchifying the name for my benefit
I mentally translated this Into equally
exquisite English, my version natur
ally being "a man called Poynter."
Later an American came up. with
whom I exchanged a few words In his
and my native tongue. "What the
deuce are you? English?" broke in
Du Maurier. "And what the deuce are
you," I rejoined. And we then and
there made friends on a sound inter
national basis.
It seemed to me that at this first
meeting Du Maurler took me in at a
glance the eager, hungry glance of
the caricaturist. He seemed struck by
my appearance, as well he might be.
I wore a workman's blouse that had
gradually taken its color from its sur
roundings. To protect myself from the
indiscretions of my comrades I had
painted various warnings on my back,
as, for instance, "Bill stickers, be
ware," "It is forbidden to shoot rub
bish here." and the like. My very
black hair, ever inclined to run riot,
was encircled by a craftily concealed
band of crochet work, such as only a
fond mother's hand could devise, and I
was doubtless coloring some meer
schaum of eccentric design.
It has always been a source of legit
imate pride to me to think that I
should have been the tool selected by
Providence to sharpen Du Maurier's
pencil. There must have been some
thing in my "verfluchte physiognomie."
as a very handsome young German
whom I used to chaff unmercifully
called it, to reveal to Du Maurier those
dormant capacities which had been be
trayed in his eager glance.
Won IIli Bet.
A bewildered-Iooking farmer stood
In the center of Haymarket square
Thursday looking at the trolley wire.
The electric car came along and
slowed up. They rang the bell and
shouted at him and ordered him to
move. He still kept looking at the
wire and making inarticulate sounds
with his lips.
"Get off the earth, you Jersey calf!"
shouted the motorman.
The old man was fairly bumped by
the slow-moving car before he moved.
Then he jumped and said: "I did it,
by thunder! Where's my money?"
He looked around cautiously and
then he said: "You seen a red-faced
feller with a white mustache waxed?
I want him. He bet me $5 I couldn't
look at that ere wire three minutes and
count 200. I've done it."
"Did you put up the money?"
"Sure," was the reply.
"Ding-dong." went the bell. Lewis

CHEAP RATES TO ST PAUL AND

"son Follow the Hnalng-a and Labors of
All Such.
Some of the brightest minds have
been dreamers but they dream sensi
bly, says the Home Worker. They
educate themselves along the line
chosen as their life work. Darwin dream
ed over his "Origin of Species" twenty
years before it saw light. Milton
dreamed over his "Paradise Lost" from
boyhood. Columbus was condemned as
a soothsayer, a visionary, a quack,
yet for fifteen years of the cruelist an
tagonism he proved the truth of
his dreams and astonished the
dreams and astonished the world.
Ferdinand de Lesseps dreamed
for twelve years of bringing Lon
don nearly 4,000 miles nearer to
India by the reconstruction of the
Suez canal before the necessary per
mission was granted by the khedive
of Egypt. But these men dreamed with
a purpose. They read, argued, studied
and fought for their beliefs because
they knew they were right. They
knew from positive demonstration,
from actual knowledge. They had
welshed and analyzed and sifted and
refined until all facts and data were
made to converge to one common
center and end there, In one grim, un
wavering point. When they laid their
fingers on a plan they saw the result
as it would appear to the ignorant
world when finished. They did not sit
for hours consuming cigars and star
ing blankly at the open sky. They
worked; they bent every energy to
one grim purpose; all their lives were
devoted to the consummation of the one
supreme wish of their lives. They
gave their work, their hope, their life.
From the dim recesses of the human
mind, ordina-ily so incomprehensible,
they evolved the brightest thoughts
and followed the birth of each idea with
the sacred solicitude of a loving mother
over her first-born child. ,
ENGLISH HAIRDRESSING.
The Hideous Frizzed. Curled Hang- Still
Ha Foil Sway.
Lady Helen Stewart, a fashion-leader
of England, has decreed that so
cietythat is, the feminine element
must part its hair on the side or ex
pose the forelui-. tfiiltless of coquet
tish curls, say M!- 'Philadelphia Press.
And fashion mat is. In England
is beginning to sway a bit in her direc
tion. While the American girl would look
with horror on this unfemlnine coiffeur
for her adoption, yet she gives a sigh
of relief when she thinks that maybe
Lady Helen's example will take effect
among the world of .Britain's elect.
That frightful, curled, frizzled bang
that the princess of Wales insists up
on retaining has spoiled the faces of
many women who might otherwise
have been called pretty.
I shall never forget once seeing a
famous English actress make her toilet
for a reception. She had invited me
to her room. She was combing her
mass of yellow hair down over her
eyes and I thought it was only a trick
of getting her back hair out of tangles.
Judge of my surprise when she frizzed
up this mass with the comb as one
does feathers with a knife and let It
hang in front.
On went the ever-present English
toque over this heroic bang and I did
not wonder that bellboys stared.
But she was only arranging her hair
as all of her set do. Therefore let
every lover of beauty hope that even
the formality of Lady Helen's plain
forehead may make headway against
the untidy, unbecoming coiffeurs of the
women of the English nobility.
What a change the sleek, well-groomed
head of the American girl must be
to them!

From "Newspaperdom" (New York).
"I have come to the firm conclusion, after

as near being the ideal daily journal as we
are for some time likely to find on these
