A Very RestfuI Rest.

Adolf Menzel, the German artist, w11 ts one time engaged on a mural deco ntfon. He had rigged up a scaffoldtns n his studio. on which hls model was ,.ouested to stand For two long hours the poor poseur stood up aloft |n a most fatIguing posture. Menzel |rn the meantime worked at his sketch. |,a.d,oss of the fact that his model was growing tired.
 At length the model found 1t neces. nary to speak. Herr professor" said be "how about a recess?"
 Menzel apologlzed profusely for his nrpetfulness. Certainly, certainly, nv dear sir" said he. "Come down 'hnd rest yourself bit.'
 The model had clambered from the .caffolding to the ladder, which led town from 1t to the studio floor.
 "St&x," cried the artist suddenly | 1Tha pose is fine' Don't move mus elew'
 And once more the model was forced into strained rigidity, while the enthu- .iastic draftsman set about sketching him. e
 At the end otSy-.f an hour MenzeI hooked up from his work. There ' said he; "that will do nicely. Get back m the scaffold. We have had our rest. Let us get back to work again. '

FEED THE QUAIL.

The beautiful Bob White" are fac
ing hard winter, and it will only be
through the grace of the thoughtful
ness ,of farmers If thousands of the
pretty brown birds do not perish of
starvation. An experienced hunter
has called the attention of The Bur
lington Hawk-Eye to the serious con-
dition of affairs with respect to the
quail, the only game birds that are
really worth shooting in this section,
aside from the duck.
The early snow which gives prom
Use of remaining on the ground for a
long period, has brought disaster to
the quail, who are unable to secure
their customary feed. The fields will
be Uttered with the bodies of the birds
unless the farmers go to the rescue
and assist to, some extent in feeding
the birds. Even now the quail are
forced to invade the barnyards in
search of food. and it is the hope OF
all true sportsmen that their visits
will be welcomed. .:a
OF what avail is it, may be asked
to protect the quail through almost
eleven months of the year. if they are
allowed to die when the cold winter
months, arrive, accompanied by, snow
and 3sleet covered fields that effectu
ally cut off all chance of securing
nourishment, and drive the little
brown fellows to the few yards where
the cattle are gathered. in search OF
the relief from the famine that sur
rounds them. -
1t would be wonderful movement
! if every farmer in the land would
take it upon himself to scatter feet
in his barnyard for the quail, which
are of so great service in destroying
the insects that otherwise would de
vastate his fields.
The Herald hopes that the cam
paisn to provide food for the BOZ
White may be,5speedily undertaken
and followed through the winter D!
the farmers of Iowa. An immense
loss of game will be prevented, ant
the farmers will be praised for per
forming a humane deed.
