STRICT DoORKEEpER.
Chinaman obeyed Orders and the
Visitor Was Shut Out.

From the Little Chronicle.
When the Andersons went to California
they rented small furnished house and en-
gagged a Chinese man-of-all- The
house was well situated and tastefuIly fur
nished, and Wing Lee proved to be a good
cook, clean and respectful
AS soon as the Andersons were settled the
neighbors began to call, and it was then
that the fact was discovered that Wing was
absolutely devoid of any ideas as to the
ushering in or out of guests
So one morning the ladies determined to
instruct him. Providing him with a tray,
Miss Anderson went out rang the bell. was
shown into the parlor, and waited while
the calm Chinaman carried her card to
Mrs. Anderson
This was repeated several times until the
ladies were quite satisfied that Wing was
perfect in his role.
That evening at half-past the bell rang.
Wing scufffed majestieally to the door.
while mother and daughter hung breath
lessly over the banisters to watch the re-
suit of theireteaching.
They heard a. gentleman's voice ask If
the ladies were at home. They saw Wing
present his tray and receive a card with an
air which made them mentally pat each
other on the back, and then they saw him
draw card from his sleeve.
'Mine!" gasped Miss Anderson 1.-THE one
we used for the lesson!'
Wing compared the two carefully, and,
returning the one which the caller had lust
handed him, he remarked blandly: ''Ttckee
no good. No can comer' and calmly shut
the door in the face of the astonished guest.

No Poetry in Cattle Business.

From the New York Tribune.
1.-The cattle business does not offer oppor-
tunities for poets now said a sun-burned
wcsterner to his Wall street friend the
other day. The two men were taking lunch
con together at downtown restaurant,
and as the waiter spread the cloth the city
man remarked:
What could a poet ever do out in your
wild west, except be tenderfoot and an
easy mark, as we say nowadays?"
We'll, what I meant was that ranching
Is not such romantic and picturesque bus
mess now as some writers paint it,, was
the reply. There was a time, before
was baldheaded, about thirty years ago, or
perhaps less, when the cattlemen had no
fences to their pasture grounds. They sim
ply branded their cattle and once year
they went out and rounded them up. Each
man then singled out the cattle of his mark.
and then came long drive to the railroad.
These early ranchers thought that they
owned the prairies by divine right.
about fifteen years ago a change came.
Hundreds of thousands Of emigrants came
pouring in, the great majority of whom
were from Scandinavian countries. The
opening up of the Indian lands Of Oklahoma
and their division into smaller farms took
away many a hundred square miles from
the old pasture lands. At the present time
a cattle raiser must fence in his property,
own 1t or lease IT, and by irrigation get as
much vegetation out of it as possible His
cattle are carried away from his barns by
express trains, in refrigerating cars, and
everything is systematiZed, as in a depart
ment store
"Nell, Shouldn't think poet could get
very feryid over refrigerated beef" was
the answer as the Wall street man drank
a glass of iced spring water.

Wild Life.

From Country Life.


The bird in question is an old cock grouse
In fine plumage and very healthy. He was
first noticed last January, during a~ssyere
snow storm, near farm house on<the edge
of a moor in Soilaryle, in Perthshire. He
began by following the managers children
on their way to school, going Awi.h them
across the fields to the banks of small
and accompanied them home. In April he
found mate; nest was made and eggs
were laid but mate and nest came to grief
and the old bird remained aloRe. never seek
ing the companionship of his own kind, but
consoling himself with the society Of the
children, with whom he would play for
hours, chasing them. alighting on their.
shoulders and heads and pecktng at their
bonnets, but absolutely refusing to cat any
grain offered to him. though various kinds
were tried.

A R T N @ T ES.

An exhibition of engravings and other ar
tistic work by engravers was held on the
last three days of this week in the assembly
hall of the Cosmos Club, under the auspices
of the American Society of Plate Engrav-
ers, organization which, though formed
only year ago, numbers among it's mem
bers some of the most distinguished men in
the profession. The long south wall was
given up exclusively to portrait genre and
landscape work, the north wall to CONNER
cial productions, lettering, dies, etc, and
the mantel end and dimly lighted adjoining
corner to photographs, paintings and draw
ings done by the engraVers, during leisure
hours, as recreation. OF chief interest in
the first section, was a portrait of the late
President Mckinley, by G. F. c. Smilie, of
which ten impressions were shown, exhibit
ing the nine different states of the plate
and the final result. Some notion Of the
immense labor involved in portrait line en-
craving was given by the dates marked in
pencil on the margins of these proofs, for,
beginning with the 23d of May, in which
little more than the preliminary work ap-
peared to have been done, they progressed
until the ninth was reached, late in July.
This was a comparatively small portrait,
the head not measuring more than two or
three inches in diameter, whereas one Of
Whittier, by William Adolph, was full life

largest, portrait plate ever engraved, and is

Charles Burts portrait of Longfellow and
Vim. e. Marshalls of Fenimore Cooper
were both notable. as was that of the
Great Elector," by Joseph Enthoffer,
which was done after the manner of silver
engraving and showed splendid technique.
Lorenzo ]. Hatch, formerly Of this city,
sent twelve frames showing a variety Of
specimens of his bank note Vignettes, many
of which were exquisitely artistic and adj
mirably rendered. One or two etchings
were shown, besides some clever genre
studies, a collection of the Columbian
stamps, several prints made on silk. cellu-
loid and other novelties. among which was
an interesting example of haschure engrav-
ing, by Mr.. r. P. Bartle. There was quite
collection of excellent photographs by
John Beeby of New York and w. F. Pea
body of this city, both of whom are also
able engravers. The paintings were, as
works of art, less commendable, but as a
whole the exhibition was interesting and
creditable, and, being the first held by the
society, was an earnest of better things in
the future.
