A Grave Mistake. N artist was talking about the noted Ger- man painter, the late Adolf Von Menzel: “Von Menzel,” he said, “painted the clearest and most distinct of pictures. Everything with him was worked out tothe last hair; nothing was ever suggested. With suggested, sketchy, impressionistic pictures he had no sympathy. He was called the Meissonier of Germany. “In a discussion of a certain impressionist’s vague, unintelligible work, I once heard Von Menzel say: “This man Markheim sold to the Countess X two years ago one of his landscapes, The Countess, after she had had the landscape a few weeks, tired of it, and to another artist, who dined with her one night, she said: “T think the new picture that Herr Mark- heim sold me lacks animation. It needs life in it. Would you be willing to paint for me a man or woman on that road that runs through the middle?’ “Why, surely, madam,’ said the second painter. And he took the picture home with him, made the addition, and returned it the next morning. “Later, meeting Markheim, he said: “‘T had the audacity to alter a landscape of yours the other day. It was the landscape you sold the Countess X. She wanted a figure in it, and, to oblige her, I painted an old pea- sant walking down the road.’ “Markheim frowned. “‘The road?’ he said. ‘The road? remember any road in that picture.’ “‘Oh, yes; there is a road,’ said the other. “T can’t recall it,’ said Markheim. “Finally to settle the matter, they went to the house of the Countess, and stood before the picture, | “‘There,’ said Markheim’s brother artist, | ‘there is your road and there is my old peasant | walking down it.’ “*Fool,’ Markheim cried; ‘what have you done? That is not a road in the center of my work. It is a river.’"—San Francisco News Letter, I don’t The Luxury of An Outing. HE first thought in arranging for an outing is how to se- cure the maximum benefits and pleasures with the mini- mum discomfort and disappointment, and the great increase in the number of votaries of outdoor life every year makes the question of food supplies a dominating one. Ever since the days of Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest, lovers of out door life have depended upon ale to open the way to the full enjoyment of the occasion. The same good old customs which prevailed in olden times are in existence to-day, as evidenced by the great increase in the ranks of the army of recreation scekers and their pronounced partiality for Evans’ Ale which has become famous as a summer beverage among lovers of outdoor life for the way it imparts vigor and enjoy ment ton outing. The zest with which it rounds off a meal adds a delight that is complete, The sparkling, frothy, bub- bling way in which it pours out shows its most perfect con- dition, Evans’ is the one ale most suitable for all places, whether in the mountains, at the seashore, on a yacht or traveling by train or boat, because it is always in the same perfect condition and because it cannot spoil, no matter how abused in handling, duc to the fact that it docs not contain a particle of sediment, The Crown Corks appeal especially to those who like the easy way of opening a bottle.

A Remarkable Car Consider carefully the facts stated above. They tell a remark- able and true story. The speed rating is under rather than over the car's actual demonstrated performance under every-day practical conditions. This car will go into the high gear from a standing start half way up a steep hill and carry its load to the top like a bird. It will run mile after mile under full load without loss of power —the last mile fastest of all. It will throttle down almost to “a walk” for any distance with perfect ease. Its wonderful lightness is coupled with a mechanical perfection and en- during strength not exceeded in the heaviest highest-priced cars. These things are so because of Franklin engineering ; Franklin design aod workmanship, four cylinders; and successful Franklio air-cooling Six models for 1905. Runabout.
