THE CALLS going to give us a picnic"
Oats the president of our Newsboys'
Union. and dis is der marshal" they an
nounced, as two older boys came running,
out of breath. to find out the cause of the
exeItem ent. The introduction to these
officers was unceremonious, but the presi-
dent aud the marshal of the union did not
stand at all upon form. They were boys
themselves, and knew just how boys feel.

little eight-year-old, tossing his cap up iu
the air.
What would you like for lunchP" was
asked.
"Ahw and all the little brows puckered
in deep thought. There were so many
good things that could be named.
Cakes" hazarded one small boy.
"Motseys."
Sandwiches"
Oranges"
'Guess yer knows best yerselves what

low, who evidently had unbounded faith
in the judgme ent of TIE CALL.
"WelI. you shall have good lunch any
way, and what games do you want to
play?"
There was no hesitation this time, a
perfect storm of voices called out "egg
races" baseball" football" ''chase the
pig!" and one thin child, in a ragged
straw hat. said with a knowing wink, "pie
race-see who can eat der most pie, oh.
gollyi" and at the mere anticipation of
such fascinating game. he danced fan
tastic jig, his shoes being several times too
large for his childish fest.
And where would you like to go?"
There was great variety of opinion as
to the choicest spot for a picnic. Some
voted for Ell Campo. others for Wildwood
Glen, but when it was explained that
through the kindness of General Graham.
commanding officer at the Presidio, THE
CALL was at liberty to take the boys TO
Bakers Beach the president and the mar
shall at once declared in favor of the latter
place.
We've got to be in town by CLOCK to
sell the evening papers," they said, with
the air of men of business. "rhe Pre-
sidio is the best to get from"
Yes let's go to der Presidio." cried the
crowd.
Come on. boys; three cheers for der
CALL. Hurrah!'
THE CALL has taken advantage of Mrs.
Sara Fairs being in the city to offer the
picnic, as the newsboys' mothers many
successful experiences in that line will
make her assistance invaluable in enter
tanning The little guests. 1t is proposed to
give between 400 and 500 newsboys lib.

the various games.
Any donations of provisions or of arti-
cles which can be used as prizes will be ac-
ceptable. and due credit will be given for

Early American sc,,,,,o-.

1t is worthy of special notice that when
Rush began to model in clay not one of
the artists who have given celebrity to
our native sculpture had seen the light
of day. Frazer was not born until 1890.
nor Ezekiel Augur of New Haven until
1891. The latter was originally in the
grocery trade, but failing in that took
up modelling and wood carving without
any guide except his natural instincts;
but like the majority of our early sculp-
tors, with the exception of Rush, his eff
forts are interesting only as evidence of
what talent entirely unobstructed can
accomplish.
1t was not until 1905, long after Cop
ley, West, Malone, Allston and Stuart
had demonstrated our capacity for pic
torial art, that Hiram Powers was born.
The same year Horatio Greenough first
saw the light Of day. In the remote
wilds of Kentucky Hart was brought
into this world in 1910, and Clevenger,
Crawford and Mills followed in 1912.
1918 and 1915. Thus we see that, with
out hereditary genius or predecessors
from whom to copy, Rush achieved his
artistic results, and succeeded in win
ming for himself European renown
which made him the equal of some of
the leading foreign carvers and sculptors
of his age, and at the same time well
earned the title of father of American
sculpture. '-Lippincotts

Prince of Detectives.

Vidocq, the great French detective,
was born in Arras in 1775. He began
life rs baker and early became the ter
ror of his companions by his athletic
frame and violent disposition. At the
same time he was notorious thief, and
after many disgraceful adventures he Ell
listed in the army. In 1896 he returned
to Paris with some money, which, how
ever, he soon squandered. Next he was
sentenced at Lille to eight years hard
labor for forgery, but repeatedly escaped,
and in 1908 he became connected with
the Paris police as detective.
His previous career enabled him to
render important services, and he was
appointed chief of the safety brigade,
chiefly composed of reprieved convicts,
which purged Paris of the many danger
Gus classes. In 1918 he received full
pardon, and his connection with this
service lasted until about 1928, when he
settled at ST. Mande as II paper manu-
facturer. Soon after the revolution of
1880 he became IL political detective. bnt
with little success. In 1918 he was again
employed under the republican govern
ment, but he died penniless in 1857

First Judicial uonors For a Woman.

To Henry VIII belongs the honor of
having conferred judicial rights upon a
woman. Lady Anne Berkeley of York
was allowed by the sovereign, who had
the widest experience of the virtues of
women, to sit as judge, appoint COM
mission and actually to pass sentence on
some men who had been killing her deer
and despoiling her park. The sentence
is not recorded. but the fact remains

INC lEs.Ih6eeitle Sense ~ Anlmals.

Animals possess in an arpreciable man.
ner certain tastes indicating an elemen-
tary sense of the beautiful. This sense
who do it manifest it in different
degrees. But it is sufficient to know that
its existence can be recognized. Birds
are particularly gifted in this manner.
They have taste for bright colors and
melodious sounds, and most frequently
the male subjugates and fascinates his
mate with the beauty of his plumage or
the fexibility of his vocal organs. There
are besides other birds who show this
aesthetic sense i'll a singular manner.
One of these is the baya. He has II
passion for brilliant and variegated OBJ
Jects, and he has habit of ornamenting
the entrance to his nest. which is built
with infinite art and elegance, with IL
variety of objects, gathered by bits from
all quarters, which happen to strike his
fancy. Among them are brilliantly col
ored feathers of other birds, bright bits
of shells. bits of stuffs, and the bird
struts about in the midst of all this with
evident pleasure.
Insects also possess a marked aesthetic
sense. They prefer certain colors, and
the plants which depend upon them
for fertilization show an entirely differ
ent variety of colors from those of plants
whose fertilization is affected by means
of the wind. Musical sounds also affect
different animals in marked manner.
They have their preferences and their
antlpathies.-Review of Reviews.
