An Indian on Art.

A member of San Francisco's art
fraternity had the good luck to visit
Washington some weeks ago and be-
hold the famous Congressional library
in all its rare and exquisite beauty.
While he stood at the foot of the great
staircase, lost in admiration of the
noble architectural lines of the build
ing and the harmonious loneliness of
the wonderful bas-reliefs and friezes,
he observed an Indian. black haired,
piercing eyed and blanketed after the
fashion of his ancestors, enter the vast
rotunda. Walking slowly to the cen
ter of the entrance hall, he advatced
still further to the staircase, placed
one grimy hand gingerly upon the
broad balustrade, and, turning to the
artist, who had perceived all his &C
tons with lively curiosity, he opened
his lips and spake. Three words only
but it Is doubtful If the wonderful
library will ever echo words of greater
or more unaffected appreciation. The
Indian and the artist stood face tC
face, and the artists eyes fell before
the savage's question. He had asked
simply: Man make it?"-San Fran
cisco Call.

RABBIT PUT DOG TO FLIGHT.
Remarkable Incident vouched for by
Well.known Writer.

While the controversy between the
nature writer's and observers was at
its height, valued correspondent who
lives in Memphis related to the Farm
er a peculiar incident that fell under
her eyes in her home town. She was
speaking of the controversy in general,
and of Brother Rabbit in particular,
and went on to remark that one day,
while she was selecting meats from
her butcher. she observed large
black rabbit seated on the counter,
washing its face after the fashion OF
a contented cat While she was pay
ing for her purchases, and watching
dog. attracted by the smell of meat.

around. The rabbit no sooner caught
sight Of this intruder than 1t leaped
from the counter, and ran toward the
dog, evidently with no friendly inten'
ton. What might have occurred under
other circumstances, It is impossible
to say, but the dog turned tail and
went scampering from the premises.
Having rid the shop Of its traditional
enemy, the rabbit returned to its place
on the counter keeping watchful eye
on the door. Now, what nature writer

moose hunter, is prepared to rise ny

The two had been downstairs to

went into the house together. One
of them, putting his hand into his
coat pocket. pulled out an old briar pipe
of very strong flavor. 1t was not his.
He looked at the coat, also that OF his
neighbor, and, turning to his friend,
said:

The program for the vaudeville at New
