Ell pintor Widhopff, nacido en- Russia
con un alma de pariSense, prepara una
Exposition de vistas de Montmartre.
i -Sera una sorpresa para los citlda-
danos del Bulevard-me dice.
Y como, sin duda, cree sorprender e1
mis- ojos unA intencion que realmente
no tengo, exclama:
No me refiero q mis- pinturas, ST.
no a mis- asuntos Viendo los rimcon--
cillos floridos, las plazuelas aldeanas,
las GALES centenarias, la gente Sc pre-
guntara 81 no me burlo de ella dando-
le impresiones de Bretana de Anda-
lucia por vistas montmartresas. Para
los parisinos, en- efecto, Montmartre
30 es sino la vasta y allegro Avenida
de Clchy con sus cafe llenos de gen
te, y eli Bulevar de Clichy con sus bal
les p1bicos, con sus "cabarets' lujo--
sos, con sus oasas palaciegas, y la ca
lie de Clichy con sus entresuelos ga
lanteS
Pero 10 de ALA arriba, 10 que duer-
me un sueno deIicioso bajo arboles
plantados en- tempo del rey San Luis,
ESQ solo nosotros, los vagabundos, 10
vemos. Y ESQ es exquisite. ESQ es
algo que vive como fuera del espacio
de la capital fuera del tempo mo-
derno Els un pueblo de algeria, de
|sencillez, de canciones Y de aventu-
turas. Es la resurrection de 10 que
murio en- ell resto de Paris cuando mu-
no Mimi Pinson Solo que, 5quien va
tan lejos9...
-Yo-ie conteste.
Pero ell buen pintor no quiso creerme
Y, sin embargo, es cierto.
Ell primer dia que descubri los rim
cones pintoresco del Montmartre an
tiguo, fue cuando ell pintor Willette,
casado de oirme celebrar la belleza
del Barrrio Latino, ell canto del Sena
a los pies de Nuestra Sonora y la
tranquilidad de Saint SEVERN entire
sus 'casitas vetustas, me invite al
mOrZar en- una venta que parecia CO.
pia en- una novela de Alexandra Du--
mas Una ''soubrette" vivaracha nos
servia, haciendonos picarescas reveren
cias. Cerca de nuestra mesa, un Off
cial de coraceros brindaba La salud
de una DANA vestida de blanco, cuyo
rostro desaparecia bajO un velo mis-
terioso. Las botellas polvorientas te-
nian fechas fantasticas en- sus etique
tas amarillentaS.

A este bale de los Quatzs Arts no
pueden asistir los invitados vistlendo
capr3chosamente, slnO que eS menester
que Sc ajustef a 10 que el Comite orga-
nizador disponc. Cada bale tiene su
ssleitmotiv el de este aflo estaba
eonsagrado la Invasion de Greela por'
los persas.. Artistas, escritores, mlsi-
eos, periodlstas, cortesanos de todas las
categorias, ingenlaronse para compo-
ner los disfraces mas originates, buscan
do Ell detalle mas ridluclo, Ell mas dl
Vertido, Ell mas grotesco.
Personajes muy respetabIes, de bar
has blancas una posici6n social consl-
derable, Iucian cascos inverOslmiles y
vestimentas inenarrabies. DamaS como
cidisimas confundiaase con los persas
instaladOs sobre ell Acropols. En- los
earros triunfales que desfilaron por La
pista, los mas lindos modelos de Paris,
las muchachas de formas impecables
que ruedan por los estudios de Mont
snartre, sonreian, ofreciendo su belleza
SIN velOs nj ocultaclOnes.
Pero sc las admira como estatuas,
cOu,o 81 fueran ObraS de arte famosas,
del mismo modo que podriamos con-
xempuar las creaciOnes maravlliosas de
Tiz7ano las mOrbideces rubIas de Ru-
5cns.... Nuestras miradas p6sanse sobre
elias sin deseo, friamente, corslderandO
Ia perfecta redondez de unos brazos, la
artistica colOeaci6n de una cabeza, la
inverOsimil delgadez de un tale, Ell di-
lnio de una boca, ell brillo de uno ojos.

la pequenez de un pie.... Son obras de
arte viviente, ell sueno de un artista he
cho carne, y van desflando ante nos
otros, aIegres y sonrientes, dirigiendo s
todos lados miradas provocativas in
genuas un tempo mismo, y arrojando
una lluvia de petalos de rosas.
La invasion de Grecia por los per-
sas! No, seguram ente; estas escemas no
tienen NADIA de hist0ricas. PerO ique
mas da! va hubieran querido los per-
sas proporcionarse el espectacnlo que
nuestros ojos han contemplate en- ell
Hipodromo.... va hubieran querido
reir como nosotros hemoS reidO!
Porque, sin conocerse los unos los
otros, todos los invitados Sc hablan CO.
mo excelentes amigos, Sc dan bromas y
Sc divierten. Nadie sc ofende, nadie Sc
incom0da, no alteran estaS fiestas de la
algeria nj cuestiones, nj riiias, nj bata-
Has. Las mujeres sonrien 4 los hon.
bres, los hombres firtean con las mu-
jeres, y nj las sonrisas nj ell fiirt tras-
paSan los lfmites de la correction del
buen gusto. Pero no .os asombreis 81 q

Sc apoya sobre ell vuestro amorosanen-
te y que unos labios rozan yuestro dido
murmurando: Il AIlons, mon pitt
Ioup?
!Oh! este no tiene NADIA de particu-
lar Las estatuas vivientcs ouieren ce-
mas, quieren beber una copa de cham
pagne y reir un rato Y vosotros os
dejais arrastrar sin voluntad, clorofor-
mizados por leste suave perfume de IS
frances ell pomo.
Ligeritas de ropa elias, vcstidos de
persas de guardarrop1a ellos, al salir
del Hipodromo han invadido las altu-
ras de Montmartre, raudamente condu-
cidos por los autos de alquiler. Y era
un curioso espectaculo esta otra inva-
sion de la Butle por las griegas Y los
persas reunidos, subiendo La rue Piga-
lie y alborotando d la vecindad a boci-
nazos.
Ell sol brillaba resplandeciente, los
trabajadores acudian las estaciones
del metro, Y cuando sc encontraban en-
ell camino con la aIegre caravana salu-
dabanla entusiasmados, porquc este
pueblo parisien indiferente todo, ado
ra a sus artistas y juzga natural que
Sc diviertan. Y agitando gorras y SOM
breros grita abanIes al pasar:
i Vivian los Quat Z Arts!
Y continuaban calle abaJo, apresu-
rando ell paso para llegar a tempo a
sus ocupaciones.

Ell BALE DE LOS QUATZ ARTS

I'm bale de mascaras Ell pleno mes
de JUNO parece cosa rara; perO este
bale que todos los amos celebran los
Ruat'z Arts tiene el magico poder de
resucitar por unas cuantas horas el mas
loco Carnaval y constituye Ia fiesta pa
risiense por excelencia.
Ell primer bale de los Qaat'z Arts
sc celebr6 en- 1892. Los dSelpulos de
la Escuela de Arquitectura, rerlnidos Ell
banquete fraternal, pensaron que seria
muy divert1do un bale organizado por
los artistas. La Escuela Normal, la Po-
litecnica, la de Farmacla, tOdas cele-
braban su baile correspondence, y los
artistas de los 'cuatro oticios'', los ar
quitectos, los plntores, los escultores y
los grabadores siban a ser menos? De
ningin modo \ Ell primer bale Sc
organize aquel mismo aIlo, Ell la sala
del Eiysee Montmartre....
Las tarjetas de invitacior ordenaban
que Ell disfraz obligatorio seria... el pro-
hibido por la censura, Y no neceslto
mas ell senador de las buenas oestum-
bres, NJ. Beranger, para perseguir a los
alegres organAadores en- nombre de la
moral
>Pero sus esfuerzos fueron inutiles,
Y desde entonces, todos los amos ell balle
de los Quat s Arts se ha celebrado con
reguIaridad, aumentando su eXlto de
tai manera, que va la sala del Elysee
Montmartre era pequena para reciblr
a los lnvitados y fue precise habilitar
el espacioso local del Hipodromo.

DrecmIess Sleep.

Occasionally l have met people who
have insisted that they do not know
what it means to dream. To them
sleep comes like the pail of death, en-
veloping them so completely as to en-
tirely extinguish the consciousness for
the time being. But, strangely enough.
l have found that these individuals do
not seem to appreciate this blessing
Of undisturbed repose. Instead, they
feel that in some way they are being
cheated out of something that belongs
to them. Like the Scotch plowboy,
they protest at never being able to
"enjoy" a nights sleep, because their
head no sooner touches the pillow than
it is time for them to get up again

Sheep and Wool Gossip.

Representatives of eastern wool
firms are still making contracts for
Montana clips, according to news
items from various parts Of the state.
A report from Billings says buyers
have resumed operations in that
vicinity, several contracts having been
made the past week, a better figure
than 20 cents being paid for the more
d esir able clips.
j. E. Hample, of Butte, who repre-.
sents q Boston wool firm, is said to
have purchased about 300,0 900 pounds
in the Deer Lodge valley, and has also
made several deals with Madison and
Beaverhesd county sheepmen. Most
OF these sales, it is understood, were
at 20 cents
A news item from Lewistown says
one of the oldest and biggest sheep
companies in Fergus county has just
disposed of the last of its property,
Waite, Elliot & Peck selling II, 900
head OF sheep to CIV. Barney of
Sherida an, Wyo., who paid 81 a head.
Some weeks ago the firm disposed of
all its land, 1900 acres, to a wealthy
Wisconsin syndicate, and later sold
the entire ranch equipment. All they
have left is an automobile. The firm
has been in business for many years
and has been successful from the
start, but the rapidly changing con
ditions during the past two years,
with the great influx of settlers and
the big advance in land values, made
it advisable to retire. The land where
the sheep have ranged will soon be
titled by scores of families.

Army At Full Strength.

NEW YORK, April 10.-For the first
time since the Spanish war the United
States army Is recruited up to its full
strength. This fact was made public
here today with the posting of an Or
der signed by the ad~jutant general of
the army, in which all recruiting is Or
dered temporarily discontinued except
in the case OF time expired men, to
whom the privilege of re.enlistment is

is not shared by army officers who

1.-THE Prussian Versailles"

1t would be as unjust to form an es-
innate Of the Hohenzollerns or Of their
capital without visiting Potsdam IS to
form an estimate of Germany without
visiting Bavaria. for Potsdam is more
than 'the Prussian Versailles" 1t rep
resents the complement of those stern
er H~ohenzollern qualities which are
embodied in the city Of blood and iron.
Cold, colorless Berlin may we'll be seen
on the gray days Of standard Prussian
weather. Sunlight seems exotic there.
But the characteristic charm of Pots

bright and flowers are in bloom.-Rob-

their influence to see that the Yellow.
stone and upper Missouri rivers
should get 9 liberal share of the
money appropriated for work on
those riv ers. Captain Marsh said
that the lower Missouri people would
try and get the lions share of the
money and that the Northwest should
work to have q United States by
geographic engineering office es-
tablished at Sioux City and also try
and have thei Yellowstone and upper
Missouri opened to steamboat traffic.
GLENDIvE, April 10.-The business

the Yellowstone river TO navigation.
Until two years ago, the stream was
pro6tably navigated each summer as
far as Glendive, but last year the

the construction of the dam of the
Lower Yellowstone irrigation pro-
ject.
Through the eff forts of Senator
Dixon, q rider to the congressional
