Ilore Is Whistler's story ut bow be
did liln famous picture of iJarlylo to
llii- Glu .".bow coriHirallou:
I receh-ed llieiu, well, you know,
charmingly, of course, and one who
spoke for tho rest uskcel me If I did
not think 1 was putting u large price
on tlio picture 1.000 ttulneasand I
mild, 'Yea, perhaps. If you will bave
It no!"
And lie said tbat It Deemed to tbe
council excessive. "Why, the figure
Was not even life size."
And I agreed.
"Hut, you kuow," I said, "few men
are llfo size."
And thut was ill). It was an offlclnl
occasion, and I respected It. Then
they asked mo to think over tbe mat
ter until the next day, nnd they would
come attain. And they oninc. And they
sold, "Have you thought of the thou
sand millions and what we said about
It, Mr. Whistler?"
And I mi I.I. "Why, gentlemen, why
well, you know, bow could I think of
anything; hut the pleasure of seeing
you nKaln?"
And naturally, being gentlemen, they
understood, and they gave me a check
for the thousand guineas.
The 8outhern Art of Conversation.
The north may think It knows some
thing of conversation, hut the north, as
compared with tbe south, may be said
Dover to have enjoyed a conversation.
About tlie village courthouse, within
the hospitable doors of some central
store, In the ulliee of the local dally or
weekly paper or, almve ail, in tlio lei
surely and genial Intercourse uround
the llreslilo or on the inviting porch
in summer of friend Willi friends
there will bo beard a conversation
which In wit, In the charm and force
of Its llluHtralions and in the direct
ness and freedom of Its criticism Is
not surpassed In American life today.
It Is the product of leisure, of a
world without haste, without ruthless
preoccuputlons, without IboBe resources
of expression ond interest which he
long to the crowded and overweighted
existence of the commercial clly. It
Is, moreover, part of the tradition of
tho cavalier. It Is part of tbe genius
of climate and soli and social habit.
E. O. Murphy In "The Present South."
Sour Milk Cow. p
Tho won) a ii was new to the country,
and her hunt took grout ptiiim to ei
plalu to her whatever she didn't nil
doratand about tbe farm. He had little
regard for the truth, this fariuer; he
delighted to lent her gullibility to the
utmost.
The cowH (teemed to Interest her
more than any other domestic animal.
Ono of the cows had lost her toll
somehow, and this fact led, tbe woman
to ask why It was.
' "That's the sour milk cow," the farm
er explained, with a straight face.
"Wo always cat the tall off one cow
In the herd so as to get sour milk
fresh every day." '
Tho woman looked her doubt.
"It's perfectly true,',' tho farmer In
slHted. "You see, when the cow's tall
In K"iio tho sun shlneH continually on
the cow's udder, and the constant heat
sours the milk."
Hut the woman still doubted. New

Few Burled Alive.
"It migtit he Incidentally mentioned
for the relief of anxious souls," says
lr. Woods Hutchinson In the Arner
lean MiikiizIiic, ."Unit the risk of any
individual passing Into a franco and
remaining In It long enough to be
burled kIIvo Is , exceedingly slight.
There Is no authentic Instance uf this
JinvuiK ever occurred. I took occasion
to ImcHilKntc this iiucsilon some yean)
ago and communicated with a number
of lending undertakers, and Ih'ey nil
tiuanluiously denounced It as one of
the myths of the times. One of I hem,
at the time president of the National
Funeral Directors' association, In
formed mo that he had carefully' In
UHtlgiiliil every llislance of 'burial
nllie' reported In Hie newspapers' for
lU'teeu years past and found every one
of I hem to he, In his own liimjuflge. 'a

HAT Mr. Bowser ha d some
tld lis; on bis ml ml to lotber
him Mrs. Bowser hhw the mo
ment he entered the house the
other evening, hut, like 11 politic wo
man, she didn't begin nuking a lot of
quentinns and adding to the Hituatlou
She went ahead during thedlnner hour
and chatted on a dozen different sub
jects, and after the nicul was finished
nho reaped her reward. No wife can
ever tell whether a huhuud Is men
tnlly cussing over the arrival of an
other soft corn or Is perturbed over a
ten thousimd business de:il, and It Is
best to give things a chance to wurk
themselves out. When he had smoked
half n dintr nnd walked the length of
the hitting room a scorn of times he
hnlted before her and fciitri:
"Mrs. Bowser, has there been any
thing In my actions during the last
twenty years to lead you to believe
Mint I was a visionary nmnV"
"N-no. imi visionary," she slowly re
plied. "Some folks might call vou er-
rnih Just a bit erratic."
"But gen Ins Is always erratic, isn't
It?" ,
"I have heard so. If we knew the
private life of Shakespeare we would
probably Hud that ho bought new milk

Mr. Dowser felt the hit nnd colored
up. but lam on to himself and pres

"Well. It tiles. It files, and then pels

"H i: il solves the problem of flying."
' Oh. that was to be expected. Yes.
