Joaquin MiIIer's Yarn
Chicago Record Herald.)

Captain John Hea1y, the millionaire
mining and railroad promoter OF
Alaska, tells the following on Joaquin
Miller, the Poet of the Sierras"
MILLER had been in Alaska for some
time when he concluded to come down
into civilization again and make some
money lecturing. One afternoon l met
him in one of the big cities, and after
exchanging frontier greetings the poet
said: Captain. you must bring your
daughters to hear my lecture on
Alaska
II promised, and when we reached
the theater we found box awaiting
us. Well, Joaquin came on, long hair,
long beard, high boots, flannel shirt,
true western style. or course he got
big hand on his appearance alone.
Then he started in to portray Alaska
as only a poet could. He held his list
eners spellbound as he described the
progress and future of the great north-
west Finally to vary his theme, joe
uuin started to tell some pretty good
mining stories, but he reached thrill
ling climax with the following:
Zone night was invited to dance
in a miners cabin. and while Bill Dal-
ton scraped away on his fiddle we JUST
hoed 1t down, But the miners tramped
in and out so much between dances
that before midnight the ladies' de-
clared the floor was so slippery thev
couldn't dance another step unless
something was done.
Then continued Joaquin, after an
eloquent pause, something was zone
that never was possible in mining days
in California. Each miner CALAMITY
opened his buckskin powder pouch and
sprinkled gold dust on the floor! And
this was repeated throughout the
night
"Joaouin certainly had the audience
ar he would never have dared to con-
tinue as he did: ...
land in the morning, ladies ano
gentlemen. those miners never trouplec
themselves about sweeping up tha'
gold dust. They just hitched up then
dog sleds and rode away.
"There was slight agitation in the
audience. which Joaquin must have
recognized as ominous or incredulity
hut he was equal to it. With wave
Of his hand toward my box he SAID;
And my old friend up there in the pox
Captain Healey of Alaska, will SUB
stantiate what | say.
ut was master stroke of the poet
for the house burst into applause ane

TheFe Are NO tATtAsAS An nus AAAs"s
There arr as yet no artists in Bur
ma, and to see how the people draw
we must examine the designs of the
decorator, the gilt lacquer maker, the
silversmith and the wood carver. 1t is
true that pictures may be seen In some
of the houses of the well to do. Many
of these are panels taken from the
base of the funeral pyre of monk. and
the others are similar productions made
to order by decorators. These pictures
are remarkable chiefly for the glaring
colors used, for the absence of any
composition and for the distorted per-
spective common to oriental repre-
sensations. The drawing is, however.
good, the attitudes are lifelike and the
story Is generally well told.
To European eyes the attitudes ap-
pear distorted as to the perspective,
but 1t needs a very slight knowledge
of the country to recognize that the
Burmans habitually place themselves
In the most ungainly positions. After
more intimate acquaintance with their
mode Of life we find out that these
very attitudes are esteemed graceful
and are only acquired after years of
practice.

AN ILLUSTRATED
PASSION
BY CLINTON DANGERFlELD
Copyright. 1903. By McCJsrc's Newspaper
Syndicate

"And so," concluded Thomas Fonte-
nellie, would marry Yvette and be
. son to you"
"Son!' Kissed old Matthew. 1t was
an unfortunate word. Eyes, yes! You
think-you-to take my sons place
but you never shall! Take myself off.
Thou shalt never marry Yvette. No
man shall be a son to me now that my
Jean is dead!'
Expostulations proved unavailing,
and in the little known village of st.
Leger, between Vevey and Blonay,
there were at least two sad hearts
Yvette's and her blue eyed lover
Thomas. That evening they stood to-
gether gazing sadly at the house pic
lures around them, for once taking
neither pride nor interest in the re-
markable drawings with which NJ.

rate his neighbors' dwellings, for st.

cious click of her pretty white teeth,
that he would have consented If NJ,
Begun had not made him so cross by
always passing over his house. VOLTA,

Thomas, If thou couldst only paint"

shortly. "a man belongs In the field.

the ready credulity of her sex in mas

"Wait! We will find way. Look
Thomas, there is a new tourist! See
He gazes at the pictures! He is com
ing this way. What kindly face!
1t must be confessed that even the
gloomy Thomas was moved to some
return of cheer by the gracious pres
ence of the stranger who now came up
to them and began asking about the
spirited design ON the wall near them
Finally he inquired where they dweit

absence of decorations there, coupled
with his sympathetic tones, made
Yvette suddenly inform him how sore
her father felt concerning the omis-
sion, yet how he was too proud to
make any advances.
"And he could not now If he would, -
she added, signing, ''fOr NJ. Begun is

A seconds hesitation and the IN
happy love tale came out.

Yyette, "he would regain good humor
to Thomas"
"And do you think nothing but that

stranger.
"Alas, no! But, oh. IL could only

what he should paint on our cottage
He should paint JEAN" said Yvette
breathlessly, my dead brother Jean
