have given him western welcome in a
city where it is not the custom. | was too
glad TO see him. That was all. Since then,
in the light of ripper experience, l guess

But we ought not to Judge people by their
clothes. We do it, of course, unconsciously. |
Clothes do not make the man, but they fin
sh him up somehow.
There was a western Judge once who
repremauded the defendant in court for
wearing such a ragged and reprehensible
pair of trousers.
Judge" said the prisoner, "you must
not judge me by these poor old worn trous-
ers. 1t is unjust 10 me, Judge. II is not
fair or generous. My pautaloons may be
poor, judge but they cover a warm heart"
This is often the case.
Yesterday | visited the wonders Of the
museums. They are delightful. All dime
museums resemble one another in one re-
spect-they smell the same. Why should
art suffer so. / am great y interested in
every little 3elD de spirit of nature, such as
the two headed girl, the boy with various
limbs and only one head, etc. Nature, when
she tries to be humorous, will always find

Siamese twins. / remember it because it
was the first time | ever ordered dinner

means of nice new rubber lungs, the only
kind that can stand the sitting and poorly
ventilated air on the place.
One man sad to the keeper, "Sir, the air
here in this museum seems fixed, does it
notHn
YES" said the museum lecturer, who is
great wag; sit was fixed by Soodoo the
six legged calf that died Thursday aud is

little bilious in this figure as you see her

THE figure was formerly that of Mary,
Queen of Scots The artist who done ii
