NOT AN ART ELEVATOR.
One Girl Who Was Satisfied to Paint
Pictures.


The art student shook her head in whim-
sical protest. She has Just come back from
six years study in the Paris studios, where
she had the reputation of being talented,
conscientious and ambitious worker.
81 am glad to be at home again" she
said; "but everybody takes things so seri-
ously over here. At least the girl art stu
dents do. They haven't the pluck to get
down at the bottom and dig away on first
principles in way that every Frenchman
thinks perfectly natural; but they are awful
" busy with ideals. They belong to clubs
for elevatng all sorts of things. I've been
buttonholed on every corner by people who
want me to join clubs. The day. l got into
my studio some of my old friends came to
see me, girls | had worked with before l
went abroad. They all looked deadly seri-
GUS, and of them struck Curtius- s-dedicating-
his.life-to-his.country pose and said sol
Margaret, we need you. You must help
us elevate American art
"I Just tucked pillow behind my head
and said: III be hanged if do. I'm going
"They are terribly disappointed in me. I
don't breakfast until ten. can't do honekt
hard work, with my best force, on less than
ten hours sleep, and so | take it; but it
seems nobody can elevate art and sleep in
the mornings. Pm willing to give up my
swell studio and go over on Tenth avenue TO

they would sell; but I'm using what nerve

A sTEER.s STRANGE DEATH.
His Horns Grew Through His Eyes and
Killed Him.

Killed Him.
A squatter in the back blocks Of New
South Wales had young steer with
horns so perfectly turned that they
formed two artistic loops at the sides
of his head. One day BOSS" straved
with mob of store cattle into piece
of wild country infested only by isan-
garoos and the out-station boundary
riders families.
These cattle are rounded up and
otherwise handled but once year.
Before this annual yarding took place
"Boss" had become a fractions terror
to every animal and man in that range.
He had terrified and scattered the
herd that was once his mates; he had
charged madly every kind person who
was won't to pat him. Because his
horns curled like those of sheep he
was called "Sheep Head" His mild,
tractable nature added to this delusion
of likening him to lamb. Six months
after his entrance upon the range he
began to act strangely. A wild look
shot out of his eye under the points OF
the ingrowing horns, whose shadow
fell heavier and heavier upon the re-
tina. He constantly shook his head, as
| if trying to rid himself of some annoy
ance. Then ~'Boss" would stand and
stare at the points which were pressing
the pupils nearly up against the SOCK
cts. He became more irritable and un-
friendly. He roared, stamped, shook
his crazed head and stared at the creep
ing things before his vision.
At last BOSS" went mad and bel
lowed through the night like an en-
ragged demon. He chased everything
in sight, and viciously dashed himself
against the forest trees. The mere
tramp of a foot angered him. The
points of the horns were cruelty press
ing his helpless eyes back in their SOCK
cts, and every jar upon the ground
tortured his brain and enraged him.
BOSS" had scattered the mob OF his
Illuminating mates and had SO TERROR
lied the few people about that fences
did not give sense of security. Women
and children lived in mortal dread OF
the unfortunate beast.
At length his maddened roar was
heard no more. About a month after
that the out-boundary rider went out
with dogs and Winchester rife to end
the suffering of "Sheep Head Boss,
After searching for two days the bull
lock was found. BOSS" was dead. dc
was lying under clump of acacia, less
sweet than their blossoms. He hao
evidently been dead for a week or more
and had been blind for months. The
horns had grown into the eyes and al
most touched the bone of the skull be
J hind. The head of the poor beast wal
as strange an object as ever was seen
The horns of "Boss" were nevel
! curved by any art. They grew as ma
ture directed their fatal tips, and, un
less sent to the Royal College of Veteri
nary Surgeons, England, the preserved
E head still hangs upon the door of tn
o Darling out-station, where BOSS" live
