Model's arid Over Nude Picture Moves Painter To Destroy It. ('Iiirau'o later Ocean. A canvas, slashed and torn until it scarcely can be recognized as a painting; a Canadian girl hurrying home, away from the glamour of Chicago's Bohemia, and an artist who made a great sacrifice when moved by a girl's tears these things are all that is left of one of the little tragedies of the local ar tists' world. The studio drama is a duplicate of Robert W. Chambers' "The Common Law." The people in the real story are duplicates of those weaved from the brain of the writer and the incidents are uniquely similar. Briefly, the romance centers about a young and pretty girl, Miss Marion McKenzie, tired of the humdrum existence in a country town near Windsor, Canada, came to Chicago in hope life here would be more enjoyable. Her air cas tles soon tumbled after arriving, and within three weeks she was alone, friendless and without mon ey. Pride prevented her from writing her parents of her misfor tune and she resolved to struggle on alone. While looking through the want ads in a newspaper an advertise ment for an artist's model caught her eye and she answered it. The reply that came back brought joy to her heart and she went to the address given, the studio of Well ington Reynolds in the Tree Studio Building at State and Ontario streets. Her pretty face, beautiful form and type of beauty appealed to the artist, and she immediately en gaged as the model for his new painting, "The Asphodel Gath erer." When informed that she would have to pose in the nude she refused and left the studio. Later on she came back and re luctantly consented. Three days ago the painting was completed. Reynolds' fellow ar tists gathered in his studio and en thusiastically told the artist the pic ture would be the sensation at the coming art exhibition. The girl came to see the painting for which she was the model. Shamefaced she gazed at it. :hen burst into tears, and begged that it be de stroyed. Overcome by her emo tion, Reynolds took his palette scraper and slashed it into strips, ruining his chance for a prize. Yesterday the girl left Chicago, possibly never to return. Today she will dine with her aged father and mother at her home near Windsor. Tonight the artists in Bohemia will tell the story to those who will listen and compare it with the characters in the Chambers story. IN PERPLEXITY. n m m TO IN m m TO m W'en you see a man in wo,' Walk right up and say "Hullo !" Say "Hullo!" and "How d'ye do?" "How's the world a-usin' you?" Slap the fellow on his back, Bring yer nan' down with a whack; Waltz right up an' don'i go slow, Grin an' shake an' say "Hullo!" Is he clothed in rags ? 0, sho ! Walk right up an say "Hullo !" Rags is but a cotton roll Jes' for wrappin' up a soul ; An' a soul is worth a true Hale an' hearty "How d'ye do?" Don't wait for the crowd to go; Walk right in an' say "Hullo !" W'en big vessels meet, they say, They saloot an' sail away; Jest the same as you an' me Lonesome ships upon a sea, Each one sailing his own jog For a port beyond the fog. Let your speakin' trumpet blow; Lift your horn an' cry "Hullo !" Say "Hullo!" an' "How d'ye do?" Other folks are good as you. W'en yer leave yer house of clay, Wanderin' in the far away; W'en you travel through the strange Country t'other side the range, Then the souls you've cheered will know Who ye be, an' say "Hullo!" n n V ?W5 m n Se Life is but a game of cards, which each one has to learn, Each shuffles, cuts and deals a pack and each a trump doth turn; Some turn a high card at the top, while others turn a low. Some hold a hand quite full of trumps, while others none can show. Some shuffle with a practiced hand and pack their cards with care, So they may know when they are dealt where all the leaders are. Thus fools are made the dupes of rogues and rogues each other cheat, But he is very wise indeed who never merits defeat. In playing some will lead the ace their counting card to save, Some play the deuce and some the tray and many play the knave. Some play for money and some for fun and more for worldly fame, And not until the game's played out can they count up their gain. When hearts are trumps we play for love, then pleasures deck the hour, No thought of sorrow checks our joy in Rosy's beauteous bower; We dance and sing, sweet music make, our cards at random play, And while the heart remains on top our game U but a holiday. When diamonds chance to crown the top then players stake their gold And heavy sums are won and lost by gamblers young and old; Intent on winning each doth watch his cards with eager eye, So he may watch is neighbor's hand and cheat him on the sly. . When clubs are trumps look out for war, on ocean and on land, For bloody deeds are often done when clubs are in the hand; Then lives are staked instead of gold, the days are wornout bread, Across the broad Atlantic now see clubs have got the head. And last of all Is when the spade is turned by hand of time, And always finishes up the game in every land and clime; No matter how much a man may win or how much a man may save, You'll find the spade turns up at last and digs the player's grave. FLOWERS FOR THE LIVING. Strew Our Coffin with Flowers, ButOrant Us a Few By The Way. Onco while assisting in the last sad rites that so often fall on us to perform here on earth, for some dear and precious loved o.ie strickened hy the hand of death we were particu larly impressed as we beheld the casket containing tho still, silent form so profusely cover ed with flowers that it seemed ' 'TlU.ilil.t l.n l.lioa !,-.. pose." But we had known the path way that silent form had trod. Few flowers bloomed beside it, but little sunlight ever crossed it. Tired and weary, few prof fered help, sad and discouraged few spoke words of cheer. Thorns by the way, there seem ed none to remove them; often cast down there seemed none to lift up. A heart starving for a loving word, a soul bewil dered for lack of a tender hand to guide. But all is over now; the pangs, the regrets, the cares, the sorrows can hamper that form no longer, neither can any tender, loving admin istration you may now bestow take one pang, one regret, pluck one thorn or emit one ray of sunshine on tho life already over, or add one jot on tho bliss of the soul in its new estate. That day most beautiful flow ers were proffered by those whose lips never uttered one word of cheer to the departed, nor hands never holden out to help, to remove the thorn, to smooth the way and make at least one pleasant little oasis on life's desert. nave we friends? We trust we have. Then we pray them save not all the flowers for my burial, but sprinkle a few along my pathway now just a few. we can appreciate them just now. How refreshing how they will fill my poor heart with joy just to know someone thinks of us cares for us, is even so ltcitous for our welfare. Oh, how it brightens life, lightens its burdens; the consolation even softens a dvinc Dillnw. might we not say adds bliss to the departed spirit. Yes, strew our coffin with flowers, but oh grant us a iew uy tne way just a few bestowed against the day of our burial. ROCKEFELLER ENJOYS THIS. PAGE FROM A ROMANCE.

"Is there nothing left for us, then, but an elopement?" said he. "Nothing." "Do you think, Clementine.that you could abandon this luxurious home, forget all the enjoy ments of great wealth, banish yourself forever from your devoted parents' hearts, and go west with a poor young man to enter a home of lifeless poverty and self-denial?" "I could, Rodolphus." The sad youth rose wearily and reached for his hat. "Then," said he, "youare from being the practical girl I have all all along taken you to be." And with one last look around on the sumptuousness that some day he had hoped to share, he sobbed and said farewell. Brown ing's Magazine. PUTTING IN THE TIME. THE BANK OF WELDON WKLDOX, X.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CASTORIA When he was motoring Mr. Rockefeller was a random story teller and joker. He once told me that if he could not tell stories and could not joke he would have been dead forty years ago. To il lustrate his taste in stories and fun, let me recall a few. Here is one Mr. Rockefeller credited to one of his New York mw vers: A farmer was di ving a team of horses with a heavy load up a steep hill. Down the hill came a man in a little light buggy and cried out: "If you do not turn out for me I will serve you the same as I did another man I passed back yonder." At this the farmer with the heavy load turned out. When the other man had passed the farmer stopped his horses and called after him. "Hey, what did you do to the fellow back there?" "Oh," was the answer, "I turn ed out for him." This story of a successful bluff seemed to tickle Mr. Rockefeller hugely. Ameri can Magazine.
