he would open the door of the cupboard.
Then. by pulling the Tight-hand side OF

then. by way of wind up, took his

On one OF the whispering stones.

hear me speak"
Then the guide disappeared in the
crowd 10 the other stone. A lady was
standing on it, and the guide waited a
moment for her TO leave. The Texan,
who was getting uneasy, looked round,
and not seeing the guide, set to think
ing. Jast then he saw a young girl
look at him and smile. and later two
boys did the same. A great light sud
denly broke upon him. Instantly he
left the stone, and as he disappeared
from the hall and started for the big
door, he muttered, in the hearing of
policeman:
Il may be from Texas. and some green
about city ways, but l reckon I'm a
leetle too too wise to be caught holding
the snipe bag again"
And then he and the guides fat fee

must admit that his art is nearer to and
more inseparable from psople than that
of Raphael Of MuriiIo.
Davis first chief d'euvTe on shore
was the decoration OF Miss Irene Wood
ward. who is said 10 be the first really
ornate woman to grace the dime mu-
scum stage. He was assisted in the
work On Miss Woodward by Martin
Hildebrand. enc of the old masters of
tattooing, and the lady was worth $50 a
week in dime museum when the artists
had completely emDellished her. Since
then Mr.. Davis has prepared many
women as we'll as men for professional
life. Some of his best WORKS of art DO
not command half the salary they once
did. the demand for them having de-
creased. II takes i've Of six months TO
make a dime museum freak, and the
candidate is charged 500.
Since the Earl OF Craven visited New
York and exhibited to some admiring
club men at the Racquet club the tat
tooing with which his lOrdly arms and
legs were OTnamented a new field has
opened itself TO Prof. Davis. He has
visited a number of club men at their
homes ana has decorated them with
coats of arms, Goddesses OF Liberty and
NEUROLOGICAL and symbolic devices.
Coats Of arms, he says, are usually de-

Gus combinations or nagS. shields, eS-
cutcheons. eagles and embOBpoini God
desses OF Liberty. The one in which
marine scene is surrounded by laurelS
is a great faVOTite among the sailors.
Prof Davis charges all the way from
% cents for q simple star or anchor TO
So and SO for the large and elaborate
breast pieces.
Business Just now being somewhat
dull among the tattoOers. for they never
experience a holiday rush, Prof. Davis
determined upon the academy OF
tattooing. The academy is a neat
ly furnished gTound-fOor fat, in
the window of which are framed
designs Of tattooting. In the front
room. By the window. is a leather sofa
upon which the subject reclines While
Prof. Davis works. He was engaged
yesterday in putting a gorgeous blue
and red Goddess OF Liberty on the arm
OF a Columbus avenue baker when
Recorder reporter called. A pupil
watched the operation and took notes
of occasional comments from the pro-
lessor. The instrument used consists
of five ordinary fine needles bound TO-
gether ana fastened 10 small steel or
bone handle. For writing or extra fine
work a single needle is used. Only two
colors are empl0yed-India ink. which
appears blue under the skin, and the
yermillion OF the water color painters.
At present Prof. Davis has i've pupils.
To increase business he has thought OF
publishing periodical devoted TO tat

years ago. and soon learned to tat

come that before long the entire crew OF
the whaler became, so to speak. pro-
fusely illustrated. Davis forsook the
sea fourteen years ago. and since then
he has devoted himself on shore to in
PRODUCING his art beneath the cuticle of
his fellow men.
He has PROBABLY done more toward
making the human race ornamental as
we'll as useful than any other man of
his generation. Even the hyparcriticaI

Now let US follow the artful fellow

OverparticuIar.

Cleanliness is a virtue, no doubt, but.
like other virtues, it may be carried to
a vicious excess. So it HAPPENED with
an old fisherman in NsrtlP. Devon, who
made it one of the chief ends of his life
TO keep his boat immaculate.
On one occasion a gentleman had
hired him 10 take himself and young
lady out for an afternoons fishing.
The boat could not be brought near
enough TO the shore for them to step in.
so the ola sailor removed his shoes and
stockings, and, taking the young lady
in his arms. was about 20 deposit her on
board when he caught sight of some
mud on her pretty pair OF boots.
Instantly he stopped and dipped both
her feet up to the ankles in the sea,
padding them back ana forward TO re-
move the mud, in spite of the protests
of the owner. His only remark as lie
finally put her on board was:
"BIess yer, miss, salt water won't give
yer the snuffies."

An Electric save All. :"

Ahandy little device has been brought
out for preventing the waste of current
that often goes on in the electric light
ing Of hotels and large buildings. In a
hotel, bedrooms. cellars and other
places where persons are constantly
passing IN and out, and requiring light
for only short periods. IL not infrequent-
ly happens that the light is switched on
and left burning, sometimes for many
hours. to no purpose. The apparatus
which makes such waste impossible is
a small piece Of ciockwork. by means of
which an incandescent lamp is auto
matieally switched of in half an hour,
an hour or any prearranged time. 1t
can be included in any ordinary circuit
instead Of the switch, and at a very
moderate cost.

Chicago Tribune.
At the corner of Evanston avenue
ana Grace street. Lake View, lives Ed
ward Kennedy, who is the proud owner
of a cat that possesses distinction
which probably cannot be claimed by
any other animal of its species in Chi
cago. This cat has never known the
touch Of the human hand. Born va
grant under Kennedy's barn one year
ago last summer. and remaining in
practical concealment until it was
strong enough to eluds by fight all its
foes. real and imaginary, pussy early
acquired what seems 10 be dislike and
distrust for all human kind.
1t has successfully kept out of the
reach of the Kennedy family and lodged
all the small boys who have made re-
peated efforts to rob it Of Its distinguish
ing characteristic. Even when hungry
the cat will not appeal for food. 1t
