Why the Dog Liked the Portrait.

called on certain portrait painter in
indianapolis last week. We had gone to
school together. Since then he has ac-
quired a national reputation as an artist.
l complimented him on his lifelike
work. YES" he replied, II suppose it is
creditable now, but it was not always so.
remember the first job ever had. A
wealthy lady came to see me and wanted
her full length portrait painted. 1 did
the best could, but that was nothing tc
brag of. When the lady came to look
at the picture she gave cry of disap.
pointment.
"'Why, that's not at all like me- she
said 4 shall not take itp
II assured her it was perfect likeness
and declared that even her little poodle
would recognize it. Pm willing to take
that risk she said; I'll bring my dog
with me this afternoon and if he recog-
nizes me I'll take the picture Later in
the day she brought in the canine, and
the sagacious little animal, after survey
ing the portrait for moment, ran uI
and licked the painted hand. My lady
took the picture without any further OBJ

But the ikness must have been strik-

The silver Dollar.

The story goes that the head of Liberty
on the Bland dollar was modelled from
the head of fair Philadelphian, the
contour of whose features are purely
Grecian. Before the pattern was finally
decided upon, George Morgan, the en-
graver, sent it to the academy to get the
opinion of some artists as to its artistic
merits. The profile was criticised in
several particulars, chief among which
was regarded as too prominent chin
But the authorities at the mint thought
it one of the most beautiful types of
faces that was ever submitted for the
head of coin, and it was adopted. Mr.
Morgan, by the way, is an Englishman.
and some people insist that he has man.
aged to declare his origin in the BLAND"
dollar. By holding the coin with the
date uppermost and covering the figure
with the finger on line across the eye to
the hair, the profile develops likeness
of King George, the chin being his nose.
Holding the coin in the same position,
and covering the medallion on a line
from the chin to the base of the cap, the
curl of the hair develops a lion with its
nose facing left.

A Crow Court.

Inever would have believed stories told
about crow justice had | not attended
their court" One beautiful day in De-
cember I was riding on the public road
two miles north of Hamlin, Kan. | had
noticed great tlocks of crows flying about
me, and when nearing cottonwood
grove, in making a turn to the right,
saw hundreds of them perched in the
trees in solid lines to the ends of the rows.
l had read somewhere that crows were
well governed birds. and when | saw this
fine looking body | judged that it sat
there to give trial to an offender of some
sort. l stopped my horse, half fearing
the crafty birds would fly-adjourn court
or continue the case. To my delight no
attention was paid to met takes a man
with a gun to disturb these hooking, inn
pudent blacklegs. | was just in time to
hear and see all that was done.
From a tree at the head of a row, where
10 crows sat, there came such loud and
rapid cawing as | never heard before
from so few Threats, and every now and
then all the flock joined in making the
noise. and the chorus thus furnished was
was desired. After two or three minutes
of this racket a silent rest was taken,
which was broken by single crow, who
made little talk in the crow dialect, fol-
lowed quickly by others.
Things became more dignited, and
my interest in the proceedings was so in
tense that when fine. fat bird submitted
a few remarks and was applauded by
general cawing from every bird present
I could scarcely keep from clapping my
hands.
Suddenly 10 crows flew down the lines
twice and back and all was still as they
did so. l was amused and startled. This
might be jury of crows on parade. And
l believe it was. After two or three
crows had again spoken the IL flew down
the lines once more: but this time there
We're fierce caws from every crow in
answer to caws from the 10. My fancy
explained: The jury was seeking its ver-
dict in public opinion, and the excited
crows, like revolutionary mobs, de-
manded blood. Back to their perches
for the last time flew the crows. and
again silence fell, not unlike the abrupt
hush of court room whispers as the
prisoner steps forward to learn the worst.
But could distinguish no criminal. As
looked for the poor fellow there was
great angry cav from every crow and
all flew to the center of the line, where,
as live, they tore three of their unsus-
pecting kind in shreds, leaving only few
feathers to float upward and out of sight
as they separated and noiselessly flew
away, seeming satisfied with what they
had DONE Kansas City Star.

Alaskan Mosquitoes.

Moss, shrubs, and berries grow in great
profusion along Yakutat Bay shore, and
over the -moraine regular trail was
formed as the large brown bears crossed
and recrossed in search of food and ber-
ries, writes NJ. B. Kerr in Scribner. The
glacial stream divided into thousand
branches and formed an ideal delta, de-
posting silt and glacial debris. Our
course took us over a mountain spur and
across an interior basin about 1900 feet
in height, filled with numerous lakes and
swarming with mosquitoes. Indeed,
there were such myriads of the latter
that imagination suggested that each
flake of snow had concealed within it a
germ, and thus the mosquito had gener-
ated. Here it is that sometimes huge
brown bears, driven to fury and despera-
ton by these tormenting little beasts,
finally tear their flesh and die in agony.
