The Empress never rode without the

One day. however, the celebrated
horse woman ran away, organized a
circus and started 70 tour the world.

MASTER BEHIND BARS,

NEW YORK, April 14-Outside the

He was not much OF a dog to look

He fitted exactly the approved descrip-

Some public spirited citizens, after the
little dog mad taken up his station at
the barred entrance in the early after
noon, tried TO chase him away. but in
this they were unsuccessful.
One or two of the agents took chance
kicks at him. but they missed and were
rewarded with a gleam of sharp little
teeth. The small boys took hand and
IL looked as II real trouble were in
store for the little dog for time, but
they stopped as If some form OF free
masonry had rendered the little animal
inviolate Instead there were scraps OF
bread and even a piece of meat for the
watcher.
Perhaps the explanation of the con-
duct of the boys lies in the fact that
he belonged to another small boy. who
was detained upstairs in the society
rooms. He is a bad small boy, there Is
no doubt of that. His mother pro-
nounces Jacob Koenig, thirteen years

PARIS, April 14.-If William II had
been a, woman he would have shone as
a coquette, for he never neglectS an
opportunity to make himself conspic-
uous. At the time OF the terrible Char
ity Bazaar fire he sent an envoy ex-
traordinary TO attend the funeral OF
the victims. and 10000 francs for the
families of those who were poor.
France thanked him for his gener-
osity. though finding il a trifle familiar.
Today he has another scheme for at
tracing public attention. The Emperor
of Germany has just sent through his
ambassador the sum of I35.00 francs,
which has been presented to the min
lister of foreign affairs to be distributed
among the widows and orphans of the
Courrieres disaster.
This is very fine, of course, but IL Is a
bit too fine. France is rich enough TO
look after her own children; she has
no need for the assistance OF foreign
sovereigns who offer to share the ex-
pense, particularly when that sovereign
is named William IL. He would have
done better 10 have kept his money. and
20 have refraincd from encouraging dis
cord in the world by his provocative at
titude in Morocco and elsewhere.
Rodin Worlds First Sculptor.
Is Rodin really our greatest sculptor?
If one is to Judge OF his worth by the
dignities to which he has been raised
by his fellow-artists at home and
abroad, an affirmative answer seems
called Cor.
To he at the same time president of
the Society OF Painters and Sculptors
in Paris and also of the Society OF
Painters, Sculptors and Gravers in Lon
don is sufficient indication of the de-
gree Of admiration which is felt for
Robins genius wherever the arts -four
ish.
However, it is more particularly in
foreign lands that the great sculptor is
appreciated than in his own country.
While our school OF sculpture remains
conservative, paralyZed as it were by
the weight of its traditions as eXem-
plified in the work Of it's eighteenth cen
tury masters. foreign countries are fast
progressing toward an art which is in
a way cyclopean. an art which gets It's
inspiration from the works of such men
as Phidias and Michael Angelo.
