Disgusted Citizen,


A man with his hat we'll back on his
head and wearing confident, jaunty air
sauntered up to the elks' Enclosure in Lin
coin park yesterday morning and inspect
ed the animals inside.
"They don't look like such terrible crea-
lures, y he said, addressing bystander II
don't believe they're half as savage and
treacherous as the papers say they are"
"I'm satisfied to stay on this side Of the
fence and look at them, responded the
other.
II wouldn't be bit afraid to get in
there" rejoined the first speaker. "The
trouble is that when a man is afraid OF
the animals they know 1t as we'll as he
does, and they go for him. Animals amt
fools. II had any business with these
elks, wouldn't hesitate minute. I'd
get right over there and make them under
stand their place. wouldn't be cross, but
I'd show 'em who was master"
He climbed to the top Of the fence and
leaned over.
Two big elks were lying down on the
ground about 30 feet away.
"Get up" he called out, fixing his eye
on one of them. sect up and come here,
you lazy brute!"
He shook the fence as he spoke and the
two animals jumped to their feet and
came at him like shot.
They struck the fence with terrific
bang, and the man on top, taken by sur
prise, lost his hold, fell back on the out
side and rolled over and over In the dirt.
He gathered himself up, brushed the dirt
from his clothes, picked up his hat, placed
it carefully on his head, pulled the brim
down over his forehead and started away.
"That settles it, " he said. "Pm men,

A Real Hustler.

An amusing story comes from the
studios of Paris. IN many of the impress
sionist schools of artists washing blue is
largely employed to produce the tints
which will best convey mysterious and
aesthetic effects. A young artist lately
took two of his newest inspirations in
which starch had been largely consumed,
to one Of the well known dealers i'll Paris
and the latter, plying rather than admir-
ing, offered small sum for both pieces
and consented to place them on show. The
next day II tall American presented him
self in tho chop, and drawing out his check
book eagerly demanded the price of one of
the pictures. y
For q moment the dealer was tempted
to believe in the whims Of his protege and
the wisdom of his purchase. But the
American was no illusionist If the artist
was. He said:
II guess, sir, it doesn't matter much to
me what this picture does or does not rep
resent. This noble blue comes from my
own factory in Chicago. I knew it at once
by the azure tint which is secret of our
firm. We call it Freshness and Beauty
starch; that's what we call it," He then
obtained the address Of the artist and CON-
missioned him to paint large picture
with the inscription: This work of art Is
painted entirely with the starches manu-
featured by Messrs. Blank & Co. of Chi
cago. Prize Of SO many dollars to the
guesser who comes nearest to Its mean
