A Soft Answer.

During one of the national political
conventions an orchestra was playing
In a popular restaurant. The place
was crowded with delegates, and the
diners were talking loudly SO they
might hear and be heard. At one Ia
BILE sat beautiful woman and her es-
cort and at the next table a number
Of New York men.
Suddenly the orchestra stopped
bing!-and a New York mans voice
rang out: "By George, that's a good
looking woman! I'd like to meet her.
The man at the next table, who was
with the lady, came over, tapped the
New Yorker on the shoulder and said
frigidly, "Sir, that lady is my wife"
Shaker said the New York man.
"Pm glad to meet you. You certainly
are a good picker"

The skin of fish does not sug-
gest itself as suitable material for
the making of clothes, yet it is used
for this purpose by tribe of Tar
tars in Manchuria. They inhabit
the banks of the Peony river and
live by fishing and hunting. During
the last hundred years they have be
come nearly extinct, owing to tt .
invasion of their domain by agri-
cultural Chinese. They are known
as Fishskin Tartars. The fish they
use is the tamara, species of salm-
on. Both flesh and skin of this fish

THE ELGIN MARBLES.
History of che Greek Art Treasures In
the British Museum.

the British Museum.
Thomas Bruce was descended
from King Robert Bruce Of Scot
land and was only child when he
succeeded to the title of Lord Elgln
His preparatory. studies were made
at Harrow and at the Westminster
school, and he then went to the
Scotch university of St. Andrews
From here he went to Paris to study
international law and then proceed
ed to Germany to learn military sci
ence.
This long and careful education
to fit him for his high duties was
then considered as completed, and
Lord Elgin entered the army and
rose to the rank Of general. But
his studies had developed a taste for
diplomacy, and he left the army and
went to Brussels as envoy, then to
Berlin and finally, in 1899, to Con
stantinople as envoy extraordinary
at the porte. At this court Lord
Elgin remained for three years.
During this period the idea suggest
ed itself to him Of getting posses
sion of some of the treasures of
Greek art at Athens to transport
them to England.
At an expense OF more than
S25O.OOO he was able to get many
of the most beautiful and valuable
Of the original marbles Of the Par
thenon, the work Of the great sculp-
tor Phidias and his pupils.
The English nation bought this
remarkable collection, paying the
Earl of Elgin only $18O,OOO, so he
practically contributed $4,000 to
the British museum, where these
marbles were placed in a special
apartment known as the Elgin room.
There was a great deal of bitter
feeling when these were taken away
from Athens, and the earl was called
"vandaI' and almost robber.
Many English people deplored their
removal, and Lord Byron was par
ticularly sarcastic in the matter.
At the time these were taken
from Athens the splendid ruins were
being sadly neglected. Their re-
moval created desire in modern
Athens to preserve her monuments,
and since that time the Greek ar
Genealogical society has made ev-
cry effort to guard and protect the
precious remains of the glorious
period of their country's history.
While there is a distinct loss in
not seeing the Greek marbles in
their original positions, it is GER
tainly a privilege for the English
people and visitors from all parts of
the world to study them in the Brit
ish museum and to have the valua-
BILE plaster casts of them which we
have in our art museums.
The horses of the frieze in the Ell
gin collection are marvels of light
ness and lifelike form. The veins
on their faces and legs. seem to be
actually distended with the blood in
circulation. They seem to move
and to roll their eyes.
SO long as there is love for ar
tistic work and a reverence for
genius the Elgin marbles will be
counted the chief. treasures of the
British museum.-Boston Globe.

A RELATED APOLOGY.
It Came After the Positive Man Dis
covered Ills Mistake.

An Irish officer who had served in
Malta was one day at a public dinner.
EXpatiating on the luxurious living at
Malta, he spoke particularly Of the ex-
cellent quality of the anchovies. He
had never seen any like them any
where else. He told Of grove of
them which he had seen growing in
the governors garden upon the es-
planade.
A gentleman present disputed the
statement that anchovies grew on
trees. The Irishman reaffirmed 1t
most emphatically. The wine was
flowing and the lie passed. A chal-
lenge was given and accepted.
On the following day the parties
met, attended by their seconds. At
the first fire the Irishman's shot took
effect in his opponents thigh, the ball
hitting the bone and causing such a
shock that the latter fell. upon his
back and in such pain that he kicked
his heels vigorously.
"I' faith, major" said our hero's
second. you've hit your man. but l
think not dangerously for see what
lively capers he is cutting"
"Capers! CapersY exclaimed the
Irishman, with start. "Oh, by the
powers, what have l done? Bad luck
to me forever for such a dreadful mis-
takev' And, fastening to the side of
his antagonist, who had been raised
to sitting posture, he grasped his
hand, gushing forth as he did SO: "My
dear friend, l hope you're not killed.
And If I've harmed you seriously I'll
ask your pardon forever, for l made
a murderin' mistake! 1t was capers
that 1 saw growing upon that tree at
Malta and not anchovies at allv'

At the station on the college

they were taken over the nearer parts
OF the grounds. while the boys ex-
planned what was required for differ-
ent departments.
Soon after IL o'clock the cadet COM
panies gave a drill upon the campus.
from which the snow had been cleared
And then the Legislators became for a
time the special guests of the class
of domestic economy. This part of
the days program was carried out by
the young women themselves. The
instructor of the department was on
hand, having been permitted to be in
the building IL she would promise not
to interfere or to take any Of tho
credit. The attendance of legislators
and their guests was SO large that the
rooms in the domestic science build
ing were not quite large enough to ac-
commodate all at once. as there were
two tables, but those at the second
suffered nothing because they had not
been at the first.
After the luncheon, the legislators
were put in automobiles and taken to
the farther parts of the grounds, and
over to the governments experimental
station, where breed OF all-service
horses is being established. Later
they were given rides about the city
of Fort Collins.
Shortly before the hour for depar-
ture, the students and their guests
gathered in the auditorium of the
main college building, where Senator
Drake was voted into the chair In a
few happy remarks, giving what he
knew of each, he introduced a num-
ber of the members of the assembly.

House Approves Game Bill.

After fighting for the better part of
three days over the Dunn bill to amend
the fish and game laws, the House
finally adopted the report of the COM
mittee of the whole and approved the
bill on second reading with but few
changes from the present statute.
The bill increases the number Of
special game wardens in the open sea
son on deer from ten to twenty. and
makes the open season October 1st to
October 10th. 1t establishes fishing
license of 50 per year for non-resi-
dents and makes the open season on
trout May 25th to November Both,
opening five days earlier than at pres
ent.
Practically all day was spent by the
house in fighting over the question
whether license should be charged
for fishing. The bill as drawn pro-
vided 81 license for residents Of
Colorado and 81 for non-residents
Nearly every member GRATED one way
or the other and in committee of the
whole both licenses were accepted
When the committee rose, the fight
was waged all over again. Long moved
to strike out the enactlng clause. His
motion was lost, however, and finally,
through the efforts of Goodfriend Of
Leadville. the resident fishing license
was killed.
