An Ambidextrous Artist.

Conrad Cook, son of E. w. Cook, r.
A., told me that he used to hold the
paper while Landseer drew one animal
with his right hand and different
animal with his left. writes ]. A. Man
sen in "Sir Edwin Landseer, r. A"
This species of dexterity comes from
practice no. doubt, and is akin to the
adroit manipulation of the accom-
plished pianist, but is nevertheless ex-
t-aordinary. and several cases are re-
corded in which Sir Edwin fairly as
founded the onlookers by such displays
of manual skill.

NEGRO CRIME IN BOSTON.

The last issue of the Boston Adver-
tiser to reach this Office contains the
following suggestive observation:
Assaults on girls by colored men
have become so frequent during the
past week or two that in some sec
tions of the city the women are in a
state of terror, and the police Of some
of the divisions are in a condition OF
frantic activity.
There is more significanGe in this
brief paragraph than might at first
strike the casual observer. The first
noticeable feature of the statement il
that it proves that THE british in
stincts of the real negro are not mod
ified by climate or environment. There
is no odor of the 'barbarism of! sla-
very" in Boston, we presume, and II
the negro can be elevated by his sur
roundings and the examples set before
him, one might think that in Boston
he would be a model of good behavior
and law-abiding citizenship.
In many portions of the south the
negroes are in the majority, frequently
very largely so. and may for that rea-
son think themselves safe to perpetrate
their crimes at will We do not know
the precise percentage of negroes in
Boston, but it is small, and one would

concluding with the remark. II would

The reply came, bearing with it a les
son on the correct use of the words
would" and Should" which deeply
impressed itself on the mind of the re-
cipient. The response read:

obliged" If you would be obliged be
obliged and be done with it, Say, II

French Coffee.

The delicious flavor which all travel
ers in France discover in the coffee of
that country is got. it is said, by the
addition of little butter and sugar
during the roasting process. To every
three pounds of roasting berries a ta-
blespoonful each of butter and pow
dered sugar is added. These in melting
spread over the beans in a thin coat
ing, which holds the aroma and con-
tributes caramel flavor that is deli
cious and distinctive.-Harper's Bazaar.

story of nm Animal That Has More

Only those vino are unfamiliar with

horse who has ideas of his own and
very original conceptions of what is
amusing. One day the children had

Dumb Animals. Eyes and ears fol-

back of the unsuspicious reyelers, JIM

kind which is half snort.
The banditti fell back in every direc-

fore going back to his grass cropping.
Jimmy's. favorite amusement is that of
scattering a flock of sheep. When he is
feeding with them in the pasture, he
suddenly stops eating and then dashCs
among them. sending them scuddinS

What Can I Accomplish?

The motto of every toiler, for the
year 1902, whether it be with hand or
brain or both, should be, not how many
hours can work to fill a contract, but
what can accomplish for myself ~
faithful service?
The world is too full of people IN
every department of life, who are time
servers. Clerks who watch the clock
more than they do customers, mechan-
les who listen for the whistle with
more interest than any event thu
transpires during the day, men ard
women in almost every line OF indus
try, whose greatest effort in life is to
see how little they can accomplish for
the wage received.
More. failures to win prizes are due
to this sort of indifference, than to all
other causes combined. Every indus
try and every business enterprise, has
use for men and women, who take the
same interest in their work, as they
would if they we're the owners OF the
plant. The industrial world has many
representatives of this class and the
number is increasing every year.
Responsibility and success comes to
the man whose principal thought is
What can accomplish? How can l
best serve myself by rendering faith
full and intelligent service? What can
[ do to advance the interests Of my
employer?
When work is prompted by these
sentiments it is as sure to find reward,
as time is to continue The hand may
be ever so deft, but unless the brain
and heart enter into the work, results
will never be startling and disappoint-
ment will follow. Make the three-fold
investment, commencing today, and
see where you will land at the close of
the year.

The chances are 100000 to one that
he will not be United States senator:
1o3,3O1 to one that he will not be able
to frank his mail from the house OF

will never be the governor Of a state.
While these figures may be true, SO
far as they go, yet it is notorious that
the rule applies to neither Ohio nor
Iowa. These two states are the cradles
of the holding caste. Every male
child is born with the lust for office
and those who fail, if such exist, are

that he will never wear Uncle Sans

4 STIR IN KANSAS CITY.

There Is turmoil in Kansas City, and
no wonder. A splendid new Conven-
tion building has been put up there, and
the amazing managers of the building
are actually arranging for bullfght
in it. Kansas City doesn't pretend to
be as good as Boston or New Haven,
but it isn't quite ready to dedicate it's
new Convention building with bull
fight. So the leading ministers of the
city are denouncing the action of the
managers, the ministers congregations
are passing resolutions condemning the
outrage, etc, etc. And thus saith the
Kansas City Journal: The permitting
of such barbarous and revolving ex-
hibition anywhere within the city lin
it's would be disgrace to the commu-
nifty; to give it the sanction Of the Con-
vention hall directory and the use of
the big building is humiliation unspeak-
able. Kansas City has won praise and
dQInlraLl0n continent Wlue LOT lCS en-
terprise in building and rebuilding
Convention hall; it will invite oppro-
brium as far-reaching if it allows the
structure to be prostituted to unworthy
uses. Presumably, the directors were
actuated by honest motives in resort
ing to gambling devices and engaging
disreputable exhibitions to raise funds.
If so they have mistaken the temper of
the people. Doubtless such practices
meet the appreciation of the sporty"
residents. Gamblers, barroom habitues
and denizens of the North End proba-
bly, see nothing amiss in them. But
the managers of the hall cannot afford
TO cater to that class. If they persist
in doing SO the selection of new direc-
tors for Convention hall will be in or
der.
Probably there will be no bullfght in
Kansas City this time. Why not dedi-
cate the new building with a football
game if it is big enough and if the floor
is hard enough?
