THE WORK OF NORMAN LIND
The Northwestern Miller Of Minneapolis
Pays Tribute to His Work.

ing the son Of his father, he is bright and
quick, and me of his minor accomplis.
mentsis sketching, which, as these repro
ductions show, he does very well indeed
considering the fact that he has had no
instruction whatever. Occasionally, the
lad favors his father with pen and-1nk
drawing and the two illustrations which
accompany this are specimens of his
work.
Mr.. Lind thinks that the sketch of the
ancient cockatoo is not original, but, if
SO, it is very clever copy, at any rate.
There is German rhyme which fits this
illustration, free translation of which
would be something like this:
In India, in years gone by,
There dwelt a cockatoo:
An ancient, wise and learned bird
Who much Of wisdom knew.
He'd ponder long, with one eye closed
IhlS WISE old cOckatOO-
And then he'd shift his other eye.
In search of wisdom true.
"Excuse me, sir" a young bird said,
''But pray explain why you
Close up an optic when you think,
Most learned cockatoo.'
"My son, remember what say;
You'll find it wisdom true
To close one eye, if peace you love-"
Rejoined the cockatoo.
Even in this translation, the phlloso-
ply of the old bird is not to be despised.
It is just as we'll, in the interest of peace
and harmony, not to keep both eyes open.
Possibly, the sketch which follows, also
by young Lind, may serve to illustrate
another rhyme showing the mistake made
by bird not quite as wise as the cock
atoo aforesaid:
An ostrich once beheld mar,
1A11dyCo LII 1dultlCSS oGy4C,
And to himself remarked, with scorn
'sThis fellow makes me smile.
Now could wear such clothes as these,
With most becoming grace.
Those trousers we'll would fit my legs;
That hat just suits my face"
So, with the man deal he made,
And swappea some feathers gay
For coat and hat and plantalettes,
And blithe]y went his way.
That afternoon he tried them on.
They fitted-as you sec.
Then forth to crush the ostrich world,
With swelling soul went he.
Alas He had not travelled far,
Along his march of pride,
Before a seeker after freaks
This ostrich queer espied.
And after him, with whoop and yell,
The freak collector came.
The ostrich only smiled and said,
"I'll beat that little game"
And so he might, and all gone well
AS sure as eggs is eggs,
But for the wretched pantaloons,
Which tangled up his legs.
Down IN II heap the ostrich went,
And so, before he rose,
The freak man tied him, hard and fast,
A victim to his clothes.

Now in the Museum where the dime
Admits a grimy band,
Behold, a mark for curious eyes,
The hapless ostrich stand,
He moults and mourns, a. captive bird,
A woeful, luckless wight,
Who. for his foolish love of dress,
Is in a sorry plight.
The moral is: Those clothes are best
Which nature bids us wear.
Don't yearn to try another kind,
Or if you do-beware.
