Painted from Life.

The monk who acts as guide to the
many people that visit the old mis-
sion at Santa Barbara, Cal, is pic
turesque and interesting figure. In
his brown robe of heavy, coarse mate
rial, rosary hung at the cord belt,
and the cowl thrown back from his
closely cropped head, he is in strange
contrast to the fashionably dressed
visitors. He shows a pardonable pride
In the mission and all its contents.
The curiosities which remain from the
time of Mexican rule in California, the
exquisite drawn-work altar cloths and
the mural decorations are pointed out
in a manner approaching reverence.
Although he Is occasionally inexact in
his descriptions, he Is sincere, and
his naivete Is so amusing that it
would be carping, smallsouled critic
that would take issue with him.
Concerning one of the paintings In
the church, he once said to party
Of tourists:
This Is q picture of the Virgin
Mary, painted from life by Murillo."

Heroic Deed "Fair Decent"

One of the Carnegie hero commits
sioners now in New York recently
made a visit to Canada to investigate
the story of Sandy Ferguson. He
learned that Sandy had jumped into a
river filled with floating ice, swan
hundred yards, rescued a drowning
boy and after great struggle got him
to shore. AS a result of his cold
plunge Sandy was stricken with pneu-
monia and for long time lowered
between life and death. In the course
of his investigation the hero commits
sioner visited DR.. Cameron, who had
attended Sandy during his illness, and
from him heard the story in all its
details. do you think Mr. Ferguson
performed a really heroic act?" the
commissioner inquired of the doctor.
Il kinna say" said the doctor. Then,
after a pause: But it was fair decent

READY WITH ADVICE
WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE
SOUSED ONE.
Gentleman Temporarily Off the Water
Wagon Referred Disparasinsy
to Object Which Offended
His Sense of Beauty.

There entered downtown barber
shop, day or two ago, man who
had climbed down from the water
wagon to make room for those who
desired seats.
He came in and looked about him
genially. The boy came up to him to
take his coat and hat, but he con.
tinued to just look about him and size
things up. He wore good clothes, and
the eight-day growth on his counter
ance didn't harmonic, but II he want
ed shave he didn't seem in any rush
about 1t. He just looked around.
In the third chair was q man with
one Of those big bushy, drooping wal
rus mustaches. That mustache seemed
to catch the eye Of the soused one.
He walked over to get better look
at 1t.
"Why dontchuh cut 1t Off" he in
quired of the barber. Then he put a
similar query to the man in the chair.
why don't you have him chop 1t of,
so you'll look like somebody" he sug-
gested.
The man in the chair looked around
at him: What are you talkin' about?
he asked.
NYou knew very we'll what I'm talk
in about" says the soused one. I'm
talkin' about that wild grass. Why
don't you have the man 60 over 1t
with his scythe?"
The barber was disposed to be good
natured with the visitor, as he seemed
harmless enough, and probably came
in to get work done. Therefore he
made no effort to chase him away.
The stranger went on to observe:
ut wouldn't take a minute for the
man to clip 1t off,"
"Say, what are you talking about?"
demanded the one in the chair again.
What do you want with such a
thing anyway" went on the other one
irreievantly.
The man in the chair merely gave
him look Of disgust, but Ne other
one kept right on: 'T'll pay he man
to clip 1t off for you If you want me
to-"
The owner of the mustache demand
ed once more: Say, fellow, what are
you getting at, anyway"
"Aw," snapped the picked one, you
think don't know what 1t Is, Ell? l
know what 1t is all right, If I want to
tell. It's a mustache, that's what it
is. Why don't you have it cut OFF,"
And then he walked out without
even getting shave.-Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
