Show Thoaa Awful Ears. A Parisian dandy recently had a crayon cray-on picture of himself made, which he afterward protended to find fault with. "It does not bear the slightest resemblance resem-blance to me," he said, "and I will not take it." The artist protested, but all to no avail. "All light, sir," he remarked finally, "if it don't look at all like you of course I can't reasonably expect to got paid for it." After the dandy had left the painter added to the portrait a magnificent pair of asses' ears and exhibited it in a window win-dow thus altered to tho gaze of the curious curi-ous public. It had not been long so exposed when the dandy broke into the artist's studio in a towering rage, and finding that throats amounted to nothing he at last offered to buy it even at a considerable advance upon tho original price. "It wasn't strange you didn't recognize recog-nize your resemblance to the picture at first," said the painter, "but I knew you'd notice the likeness as soon as I ; added those ears."
