Two Ways of Looking at II.

There Is a young artist in Washing
ton who classes himself as of the i'm
pressionistic school and who, being
somewhat out in drawing, generally
makes up for his lack of technique by
spreading color recklessly and count
Ing on distance for his effect.
At an amateur exhibition he ace
hung one of his most extraordinary
performances.
"Well," said a friend whom the art
list had taken to see the work, 81 don't
want to fiatter you, old chap, but that

have ever done. l congratulate YOU"
Much pleased, the artist was receiv-
ing the compliment with becoming
modesty when he CHANGED again to
glance at the picture and turned very
red. The committee had hung 1t up
side down.
Hurrying to the head of the commit
tee, he was about to launch into a loud
complaint when he was informed of
the good news that an hour before the
picture had been sold for $61. The
original price mark had been $19.-

When Reynard Goes H%untina.

Those who have tried wild fowl
shooting know how difficult a matter
1t is to approach within range without
disturbing the birds. The fox's only
weapon is his mouth, and the range
is necessarily short, but for reynard
1t proves all sufficient. His knowledge
of the habits of his victims prompts
him to a suitable lurking place among
the withered rushes In a clump Sc
lected to hide the contour of his form
and to match the color of his coat as
far as possible. Lurking there, almost
wholly immersed In water If need be.
he waits his opportunity and seizes it.
Well may his cunning be proverbial.
for there Is no animal or bird on which
he preys that a battle his pursuit.
Even the prickly rmo of the hedge
hog proves an inadequate protection
when the fox requires his presence in
his larder. His larder! What a larder
1t is! The thought Of 1t. the smell OF it,
savors of a whole army of tragedies
