MUSEUM OF ART.

Many little children either have
visited. or soon will visit. tine Metre
poli,an Museum of Ar, in New York

facts about the museum as given in
the Tourist Magazine:
The museum. in Central Park, op-
Dosite East Eiehty-secoNd street. oc-
cupies plot of ground at one time
called Deer Park. It was started in
October. 1869. by the Ar. Committee

first home. tho Douglas Mansion. in
West Fourteenth street. In 1850 the
first section was completed At the
same time an agreement was made
10 allow the public TO visit the mu-
scum without cost fou: DAYS a week.
The public in 1890 sent in so many
petitions for free admission on Sum
days that this was granted the same
year, though il meant 4 great none
tary loss.
1t is said that the value of its ex-
hibits cannot he computed. though
some of the statisticians have set the
total at half billion dollars. J.P.
Morgan is the president.
More than 100000 persons visited
the museum in 1907. This attend
ance was exec eded but once. in 1908,
when the new wing was completed,
the total being but 1000 more.
The city appropriates sl6O,0O0 a
year for the museum, and even that
sum would be Inadequate were it not
for the help of its many rich patrons.
The most costly painting is Meis-
sonier's "Friedland." purchased for
sG5.O00. An alabaster statue OF Teie.

kind in the world Many OF the pieces
are without a duplicate.
The Hoentschel collection of Gothic

times to date. while the crystal ex-
hibit is unique.

"A Bit Of Blue Clay.

cotton had been used. Summed I'm
read that the wearer of the shoe
was possessed OF three good qualities:

Harry laughed and resumed his
seat among his cushions. leaving
stanton to continue to study the Bit
or blue clay. Plainly imprinted on
that portion which marked the neat
priose OF the sole were the letters
y W." These were all he couId
make out. The balance of the word
whatever it might have been. was H.
leslble, and after thirty minutes of
trultless study, he laid the clay aside
with a sigh of regret.
Two days after, Tom was strolling
along the business street Of his ma
tive city when a sign in a shop win

OF the sign-where had he seen il he

was the same as the one on the preci-
Gus bit OF clay. There were the other
TWO letters e W." but others fol-
iowed-E 7. and the sign in the
window told him that the dealer
within was the local agent for a shoe
called the Newest"
Toms next move was to bolt into
the store. and demand of the first
clerk he saw to show him the New
est" shoe at once.
But" said the astonished CLERK
It is for women"
Don't you suppose I know thot
much? Show them to me. and if they
suit me I will purchase a pair" re-
piled the bachelor.
Like a sensible tradesman the
clerk concluded that his prospective
customer was making a purchase for
mother, sister or wife. and immedi-
ateiS TOOK from the shelf a number
or boxes of the shoe in question A
glance at the sole of the first nair
convinced Tom that he was on the
right track; but so accurately did he
carry the outlines in the clav i, bis
mlnd eyes. that he knew the shoe
ne held in his hand did not match the
imprint In his possession.
Have you no other styles OF this

Certainly. There are number of
different styles"
The fourth pair Of shoes he looked
at were those he was after. While tho
clerk was engaged in doing I'D his
package, Tom Inquired of him how
lons the shoe had been on the mar
ket.
