One Woman's Opinion of Others It goes far toward reconciling me to being a woman when I reflect that I am thus in no danger of ever marrying one—Lady Mary Wortley Montagu. “ May Task,” inquires the intery “why you paint none but nudes? “ Certainly,” replies the painter. styles change so rapidly in clothing that a picture would be out of date almost be- fore the paint is dry."—Chicago Post. The Banner and the Carpet Once a royal banner bent his head, And unto a royal carpet said, In the Sultan’s palace at Bagdad: “See what different duties we have had, And how different too is our reward, Though we're servants both of one great lord. I, on weary marches, tired and torn, Journey, in the van of peril borne. Thou, afar from travel’s dust and pains, And afar from battle’s siege and stains, In the palace brightly art arrayed Where young prince, and dame, beauteous maid Odors scatter on thine every band. Thou art blest; but me some menial hand In the rawest blast extends, or holds High upon some crag my flapping folds.” Spake the soft, rich carpet then, and said: “Thou dost lift to heaven thy haughty head; I lie here beneath my sovereigns tread: As a slave I'm kept here, nice and warm, ambitious, form, In the height storm.” —Poetry of the Orient, by W. R. Alger. and Thou, scorning each low find'’st danger and the “ Wuar are the proper calling cards?” “Threes or upward are considered very good.” Louisville Courier-Journal. “THETIE WITH THE BUTTON-ON TABS” Ghee Perfect DressTie PATENTED JUNE 21, 1898 AND MAY 9, 1908 (THE only way to be sure that the tle you get is a ““PER- FECT DRESS TIE," made with Tie and Tabs in one plece, 1s to look carefully for this ‘on the neck- band:—“THE PERFECT TIE.'* Sold everywhere and | made only by | KEYS & LOCKWOOD, Union Square, North, New York | [xeem| 3 BEAUTY POSES 25c | ‘ Decorate your “Den with “Art Gems” i} Exquisite portrayals of female loveliness. 3 bewitching poses 25e% 6 for BOc, One 64 x84 photograph free with every ordet for six. | Our Dollar Special: Two 64 x8}6 photo, grantia, €cabinet size and $3 amall photos all for si.

Write for it today, PROF, JESSE BEERY, Box 450 Pleasant Hill, Obio The Art of Reporting You will find before I am done that I have a proper conceit of myself. 1 think I know what news is and how to prepare it equally for the tea-table and the breakfast-table. Like victuals, it may be served hot and savory, or raw and unsavory, be brought on plain or be dressed and decorated to suit the vary- ing public taste. There is in this, as in cooking, an art. A fine, ruddy murder, like a fair, round of beef, may be ruined in the roasting, and a scandal fat and juicy, blond and frowsy, be wholly spoiled by a figurative excess of vinegar and garlic. A skilful chef can take a few scraps and fabricate a dish to delight a gourmet. So the deft reporter can put this and that together and piece a story to stir the town. In both cases, however, there must be a basis of fact. The essential ingredients must be there. It is given to no man to make a silk purse out of a sow’s car; to no cook to render a sauté out of sawdust and boot heels; to no re- porter to turn a scoon out of a lie —Henry Watterson before Boston Press Club.
