A. A. Bartlett was exhibiting today q
piece OF art Of his own carving. 1t o
sists of q family OF deer, lying and stand
ing, under q tree of dense foliage. In
the branches OF the tree may be seen a
bird, nest and eggs, squirrel, etc. ALI
have been curved by hand out of o solid
piece OF ash, and while it is done in min
iature the animals stand out in full re-
lief, almost perfect in form and OF the
most artistic design and finish. Anyone
who could execute such workmanship
would hardly be called an amateur in
art and yet Mr.. Bartlett carved the
entire piece as an original conception,
without model and no great wealth Of
artists tools.
State Oil Inspector @. w. Stafford
passed north today on his way home TO
Waubay. A DAILY LEADER reporter
had an interesting talk with him iE re-
gard to things in general and some in
particular, in the state, politics, mining,
hard times, etc. He thinks people in
Dakota do not realize as do those in
some OF the eastern states the severity OF
the hard times. In politics he thinks
Mr.. Pettigrew has obtained q big lead
although there are some active workers
and aspirants in the northern part OF the
state laying plans to defeat him. Asked
il there were many complaints came to
his office in regard to illuminating oils
he said: Eyes, q good many; yet, when
/ investigate them / find they are more
the result OF the consumers carelessness
than the fault of the oil. Most of the
oil stands the proper test, but con-
sumers who complain, quite frequently
overlook the fact that there is a good
deal Of paraphine in oil which gathers
in the wick and if this wick is used too
long 1t becomes black from q s~aturatiou
Of this paraphine. 1t is the burning oi
this from a foul wick that produces the
smoke and dim light which people &C
frequently attribute TO poor oil. II
they would but change their wicks, ar
inexpensive item, a little more frequent
ly and clean ont the ~perforations OF their
burners to give better draft they would
not have to complain 80 frequently ol
