A Puzzle.

HTHAT is a puzzle" said Robert ".
Chambers. the novelist, at a din
ner in New York. Yes, that is as much
a puzzle as Mrs. Malaprops definition Of
naivete.
Mrs. Malaprop and a gentleman were
discussing a beautiful young lady poet
The gentleman said
What l regard as the most con-
spicuous thing about her is her naivete
Yes, said Mrs. Malaprop, L wonder
what made her get such a tight one?''

small slice had been cut out from the

piled that almost ever since he could

the museum officials are at their wits

The curios from the arctic regions alone
would fill the building if set out without

task.
Prof ". II. Holmes, the curator. as
sisted by Dr. Walter Hough, is solving
the problem by combining many speci-
mems into one. wherever feasible That
is. for example, instead OF having a sepa-
rate case for the model of an Indian
meeting house, another for a tepee and
still another for a papoose board. all of
them and many more are combined into
one model of an Indian village In this
way the models may be studied col

This plan naturally necesSitates the
services Of some one skilled in the process
of combining, and a large portion of the
work Is now being done by L. b. Millner
an expert modeler in paper mache OF
things past, present and future.
Mr.. Milner has but recently completed
q remarkable model of an ancient STOCK
AIDED Iroquoian village. This model needs
no label to explain to the sightseer Just
what II represents. The tiny figures of
indian men and women are busily
engaged in the various occupations dear
TO the industrious and wonderfully apt
IroQuoian tribes that ii would scarcely
seem startling II they should suddenly
become active. Mr.. Millner has read
and studied great deal of Indian history
and customs. and has expressed in the
minutest detail the home life of these
forest children.
