noire." h said to a friend the other
day. THE hurry and hustle of a big
city shop completely exhaust me, and
/ always feel a humiliating sense of my
insignifcance as one among a crowd of
hundreds of determined women who
are elbowing and pushing me out of
the way. Now, in Havana it is quite
another thing. Imagine yourself in q
huge bazaar, the Sky overhead except
In the heat of the day, when awnings
are frequently stretched across from
one store to the store opposite, the mar
row streets with their gay little shops
stretching in every direction. The
shops themselves are for the most part
one story affairs the size of an average
room and lighted only by a door and
window reaching to the top. These
are always open during the daytime
and early evening; at night heavy
doors and iron shutters bar them. The
clerks have plenty of time to be atten-
tive, for there is never a rush Of GUS
toners; in fact, more often than not a
shopper has the place all to herself.
Nothing is very cheap. to be sure. In
fact I paid 20 cents one day for a pair
Of shoe laces. but then + had the po-
litest of clerks, no d~istracting crowd Of
surrounding shoppers and was in the
quaintest little shop bearing the TO-
mantle name of La Fe CThe Fairy.

their fronts. Just think how delightful

Decline of Oriental Art.

The future historian of eastern cul-
ture will have a somewhat melancholy
chapter to write on the decline and fall
Of oriental art. He viii show how the
western nations. among which machine
work had destroyed handicraft, filled
the east with Brummagem manufac-
lures. He will explain how the west
dealt the east q still more GRIPPING
blow by requiring of the eastern artist
the work of the western machine. The
people Of the nineteenth century. he viii
say. asked of China, Japan, India, Per
STA, Asia Minor. not their best, but
their worst-anything, so it bore the
tag oriental. Under this foolish de
mand, he will explain, the art Of rug
making virtually disappeared from the
Asian villages. while the potteries Of
Japan gave themselves to caricatureS.
"for export" OF their older and finer
products, and japanese painters cast
away the beautiful linear symbolism to
the %perfecting of which centuries had
gone, and gave themselves, to mean
ingless imitation Of the painting OF
Paris.-Nation.

MUTINEERS
CONVICTED
Leaders of the Prison Mutiny
at l~edvenworth Are All
Found Guilty

LEAVENW0RTH, Kans., Oct. 16.-
Al five leaders of the Fort Leaven-
worth prison mutiny of November,
1901, charged with killing guard Wal
rupe, were found guilty of murder
by a jury in the United States court
here this morning, with capital pun
ishment, and will be given life sen
-ences. The prisoners are Gilbert Null
ms, Tabor Barnes, Frank Thompson,
Fred Robinson and Robert Clark, al
desperate men, and all from the In
dlan Territory. Mullins and Robin
or had practically finished their
-erms at the time of tne outbreak.
nd the others were short term men.
The defense set up the plea tina
ne prisoners in the federal prison are
ruelly treated, and that the men WHO
COX part in the mutiny preferred to
lake an attempt to escape and face
4eath rather than remain In and en-
lure torture. Attorney for the United
states introduced several witnesses 10
Iisprove the charges of improper
.Teatment at the hands of the prison
3ficials. In the mutiny twenty-eight
prisoners escaped after a fierce fight
With the guards during which one
guard, Walrupe, was killed, and sew
raj of the convicts were finally cap
-ured, although three of them were
hot in the engagements with posses.
In his instructions to the jury Judge
3eyner said that the fact that the men
we're felcns undergoing punishment
Tor crime should count nothing for
1or against them in determining the
Weight Of their e~veidence.
