States making a treaty with Great
Britain at the close of the war of 1872
There was TO be a big banquet. with

TO he played by the band. The band
master came To our commissioners aAd
asked for our national air. 1T is Yam

Not much. They We're at their wits

thought came to them. Henry Clay
had a colored boy with him for serv-
ant. and OF course he could whistle.
and of course he knew Yankee Doc

and the problem was solved. The col

ter iotted down the air. And before
night" said Mr.. Adams. Yankee

you would hardly have known it," And
it came out the next day in all the

KEYNOTE TO THE COLOR SCHEME
OF THE PAN-4AafERICAN Elk
POSITION
HOW SOME BUILDINGS LOOK
Models of All the Structures First
Made Grouped and CoIored
Novelty and De-
parture.

9. L. Turner In the Cincinnati Enquirer
The colcr scheme for the Pan-Ame.t-
can exposition has sfor the most part
been worked out satsmy studio in New
York. The first step was to get from the
architect small sketches of all the build
fngs. Models ere made from these on
scale of one-sixteenth inch to the foot,
which, when properly grouped on plat
Iorm twelve by sixteen, represented the
entire exposition in miniature. Each
model was colored in accordance with
the general scheme, and its relationship
to surrounding buildings carefully stud
led Many of them had to be painted sew
eral times before suitable results were Sc
cured
Once the structure of the miniature
city were all tremendously colored, draw
1ngs of individuals were made; and tie
decorations accurately worked out to the
to be placed in the hands of the intelit-
gent painter-decorator.
When the time arrived to begin paint
ing it was found that the buildings in the
middle of the grounds were the only
ones on which work could be done, and
then the value of my model was demon
Strated. The NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. were en-
abled readily to translate from the model
to the buildings without danger of break
ing the harmony of the scheme.

MRS. BEN WAITS PARROT.
How a Newspaper MAN Restored to
Health an LrOQuOis Indians Widow.

Jacob A. Riis tells in the May Century
the story of an old French-Canadian wild
ow in a New York tenement house, whom
he restored to health by getting Il parrot
to share her room.

of old, she had cast her mite into the

companion to share her lonely life, of

Ben Wah wanted a parrot than it hustled
about to supply one at once. The morn
