RY placing all works Of art except

trainers of the new tariff bill seem to
have gratified both those wishing free
art and those advocating a specific duty.
This will admit without cost all works of
antiquity, paintings by the old masters
and even the pictures or the great Bar
bizone school. 1t will permit such col
lectors as Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan and
Mrs. Jack Gardiner to bring the treas

changed his clothes was marvellous,
and there were many who left the

nance and refused to be convinced
that it was not three persons who
performed that one act comedy. Lat

No, This Is Not Bill of Fare,
just Another Scientific
Discovery.

San Francisco. Special: The scien-
tifc bonanza OF the archaeological re-
search workers of the University OF
California-the asphalt beds on the
Rancho La Lrea, near Los Angeles
has just produced another wonder to
the scientific world in the shape OF a
peacock, the first to be found fossilized
on this continent.
The announcement OF the finding Of
the peacock, evidently one Of a rare
species, has created as much interest
at the University as when Professor j.
G.. Marian announced the finding OF
the asphalt beds n the discovery OF
the sabre-toothed tiger-the antedilu-
via predecessor of the cat family.
These asphalt beds, accordiSg to
Professor Merriam. who is an authority
on primitive forms, were once the
stamping grounds OF hundreds OF ami
mails now unknown to science. They
were caught In a death trap when they
strayed too closely to the oil deposits
of the earth, and by the processes OF
age were fossilized.
In man respects the discovery Of
the peacock eclipses the finding OF the
sabre-toothed tiger. The peacock was
found by Loye III. Miller, of the class of
1899. OF the university, and is believed
by the finder, who has given the bird
the name of Pava California, to be the
only specimen of it's family found in

Reward or Honesty.

One day last week "A teacher In Bolton
school picked up I'm the street a chamois
bag, and, peering inside, saw some dia-
monds. Advertisements telling Of the loss
of 1000 worth Of damon 81 led the school
teacher to the residence of the owner, the
wife OF a downtown merchant. Incident
ally a reward was offered, but the woman
who found them is of character too high
to make a reward a thing to be considered
In such a case. She carried the diamonds
to the woman who had lost them and the
latter seized them with all the Joy that
a woman could possibly show on the re-
covery of her jewels.
And now" said the woman, you shall
nave a reward of $40 IL you take II out
in trade in my husbands shop"
The school teachers sense OF humor
prevented her from showing any disgust,
and she told the owner that she could
not think of taking a reward for Common
honesty, and was only too glad to find the
owner. During the conversation the
woman was counting the diamonds, and
she suddenly broke out with:
