Stories With Smiles Artists Disagree—A certain emi- sane tendoeape artist sold a picture toa wealthy woman of Boston. The woman soon became tired of the picture, because, as she declared, it lacked animation. So she sent for another artist ‘and asked him to paint a man or a woman on the road that ran through the middle of the icture. Pathe artist did so, and when he met the man who had painted the original work, he told him what he had done. ‘‘I had the temerity to alter a landscapeof yours the other day,’ he said. ‘‘It was the one you sold to Mrs. W. She wanted a figure painted in, so I added an old man walk- ing down the road."* “Road! What road? There’s no road in that picture.’’ . “Why, yes, there is,’’ said the other. “There is a road that runs through the middle of the canvas.’" “Why, you fool,’’ indignantly cried the first artist, ‘‘that’s no road! That’s a river!""—Philadelphia Record. An Object Lesson—While on the way to the theater with her husband one Satur- day night recently, a Belmont Avenue matron stopped in front of a doorway to listen to an auctionéer who was chanting away inside at the rate of something like two hundred and fifty words a minute. “Come on,’’ the husband exclaimed. “We don’t want to stand here.’” “Just wait a little longer,”’ the wife insisted. “Bat why?” “{[ just want to get a good look at that man inside,’’ the wife retorted. ‘You seem so fond of telling me you never in your life saw anybody that could beat me talking."’ A Happy Discovery—A Chicago man bought a highly recommended hair tonic. He used it faithfully. His hair continued to come out. Then he grew despondent, and, believ- ing the stuff to be poisonous, drank all that was left of it—with suicidal intent. He still lives. The tonic proved a stimulant. It strengthened and cheered him. His dyspeptic symptoms vanished. He felt like a new man. Now he’s growing happier and balder with every bottle he drinks. You never know what a hair tonic is good for until you try it. — Cleveland Plain Dealer, Not Afraid—A young Clevelander who is always generous with his touring car offered to take the old colored janitor of the apartment in which he resides down- town the other day. ‘‘No, suh, boss— no, suh, thank you, suh,’’ grinned the an- cient functionary. ‘I reckon I'll wait and go on de street cyah."* “What's the matter, uncle? Are you afraid?” “No, suh! Me afraid? No, suh! I got to wait.’’ “Uncle, have you ever been in an auto- mobile?"’ “*Nevah but oncet, an’ den I didn’t let all ma weight down !""—Argonaut.
