HUMOROUS.

Cor 'EM TIanT--A gentle minded
old citizen, In Detroit, has for the past
year visited the Chief Of Police about
once per week to consult with him
on the best methodsof keeping bur-
glars out of his bollsc. Although
having nothing In 1t to attract
the cupidity Of this class OF bad
men, tho old gent has lived in mortal
terror Of a nightly visit. He has nail
ed down his windows, put extra locks
and bolts on the doors, set up a burglar
lected no advice rendered by the po-
lice. Ono day, recently, he entered
the Chiefs office and contideE TALLY re-
marked: - a.
''I've got the best thing yet! Pm
going to put iron shutters OH the inside
ofevery window"
The Chief advised against any such
expense, and the old lnan retired to in
vent some cheaper precuntion. He re-
turned In short .ime smiling and
happy.
he whispered as he rubbed his hands.

day with his bow and arrows and loitercd leis

where shallow brook, called in the south 4
branch crossed the highway, he observed d
snake of the deadly species known rs the moe
casin basking in the sunlight. He shot al
his arrows at the formidable reptile wound

pastime till the snake was, to all appearance
dead. Seeing IA party Of colOred persons ap
preaching at Il distance, the boy took the
wounded snake in his hands and laid Inn in

himself IN the bushes to see what the negroes
would do when they came to the spot. In a
few moments another snake of the same kind
gllded out from the thicket ANA went upto his
wounded fellow and examined HIM. Then
darting back INTO the covert, he returned with
some leaves IN his mouth, pieces Of which he
placed carefully upon the wounds, making
them adhere like plasters. The apparently

Among the rlute Indians loating about this
city is a man about thirty years of age who is
quite an artist He is undoubtedly selftaugh
and dashes along with astonishing facility and
great rude strength. A day or two since a gen
tleman found him drawing huge grizzly
bear on the blank part ola show-bill posted on
u billboard. He had two or three squaws iol
his audience, and the bear he drew was mos,
ll-Gempcrcd and Notwithstanding beast lIav
ing finished drawing the bear the Indian made
two or three sweeps of his pencil and drew
lines which at first seemed to be two or three
saplngs bent down in the form of a snare, and
when line was dropped perpendicularly from
the top of these and brought about the neck OF
the bear in what seemed to be a moose the gen.
tlcman thought the Indian had completed his
work by showing how the bear was caught
In a few more sweeps, however, what had
seemed bent SapIIngS took their place as the
outlines at distant range OF mountains; what
h"d seemed ~ drn"lng rope grrW tn he Il deep
ravluc. lh" moose about The neck of the bear
disappeared, and in It's place was seen, in the
distance, Il small lake, and in short, there was
soon seen quite striking and picturesque
landscape, the gentleman standing by and shar-
penng pencils for the Indian as he dashed
away at his picture. Had this Indian been
placed ina proper school while young he would
no doubt have made fine artist. \ boy among
the PiuteS, some sixteen years OF age, also
shows Il good deal Of aptneSs in drawing. He
runs to horses, locomotives and trains Of cars
In his drawings of locomotives he puts in ev-
en- the smallest and most insignificant parts,
showing that he has closely studied them
