THE WITTIEsT MAN EVER.

The American magazine has been
offering prizes for the best letters
written on the subject THE Wittiest
Man l Ever Knew" One Of the prize
winners tells in the May number of a
Welchman named Jones who was both
witty and wise Preaching, shop-keep-
ing. law and medicine were all voca-
tons of this man Jones. He combin-
ed wit with addressing his parishion-
ers, serving his customers, advising
his clients, and administering to the
physical ailments of his patients
He was a large. tall, lanky man,
dignified and patriarchal in appear
ance. and could and would crack a
Joke without even .mile upon his
countenance.
Once, while having his shoes shined
the bootblack remarked that he never
saw shoe of such immense size
when Jones quickly replied, I have,
the shoe is on the other foot
"a wag came to the store one day
and asked for yard Of bacon Jones
Immediately wrapped in paper three
pigs feet What is this you are giving
me?' asked the man. Did you not ask
for one yard of bacon? asked Jones
Yes replied the man. Well, three
feet make one yard quickly replied
the merchant.
Jones had habit OF smoking oc-
casionally A brother minister re-
buked him remarking that tobacco
was no good.
Then we will burn 1t up said
Jones.
"One time Jones complained Of

PRAISE WORK OF
MISS WALKER
Chicago Art Critics Declare the
Statue Of Chief keokuk Is the
Best Work She Has
Done.
TO BE IMPOSING FIGURE
Critic Thinks Il VIII be One Of the
NobIest Monument Erected
to tho In
dian.

The Chicago papers In the art Sec
lions are having much to say OF the
keokuk statue. The following from
the Chicago Evening Post gives an
idea OF the impression the statue Is
making upon art critics:
The monument to Chief Keokuk. a
colossal Indian, will be unveiled on
the heights above the Mississippi riv-
er, near the Iowa city named in his
honor, in October. Miss Nellie v.
Walker, the sculptress. is putting the
finishing touches on the clay model
which will shortly leave the Midway
studios for casting in the bronze
foundry. In order to be effective in
its position. the statue of the warrior
must necessarily be created on a large
scale, and as it now stands 1t Is one
OF the greatest single figures that has
been modelled among the sculptors
here. rivaling Eternal Silence" and
Washington" by dorado Taft.
Chief Keokuk, the enemy Of Black
Hawk, is represented standing erect
with an expression of grim defiance
on his countenance as he looks out
across the rushing current of the
Father of Waters. His head Is thrown
back, the eagle feathers in his war
lbonnet are bristling, but he carries
the peace pipe in his right hand. His
pose is magnificent, a blanket falling
in long folds from his left shoulder,
partly concealing the nearly nude fig
ure of the Indian. The face is that
shown in old prints, strong with ra-
cial characteristics, the high forehead
stern, the brows overshadowing deep
ly set, far-seeing eyes, the jaws stub
born beneath firmly lined lips.
1t Is unquestionably the strongest
piece OF modelling that Miss Walker
has ever done. 1t was her opportun.
lily to show power and she has exhibit
ed it in her handling of the muscular
figure, the broad chest and the SPLEEN
did head. In the past her commits
sions led her to the expression OF
gentler types of portraiture, or the
imagining of angelic figures for mem
orials, but in this she has had free
play not only to portray but to impart
virility to an historic character which
also admitted OF idealization. In one
sense 1t is the best work that she has
done, and reveals fresh possibilities in
her artistic strength.
The modelling of the figure has been
treated simply, without an appeal
through purely decorative features. 1t
/ is something remarkable to discover
the peculiar quality of skin and leath-
+ cry surfaces Of the broad muscles In
the chest and on the powerful limbs
and face of the red man. facts which
win be accented when the work is
cast in bronze The rich brown tones
will increase the Illusion, and If the
exterior settings are suitable Miss
| Walkers work will be one of the
noblest erected on the banks of the
Mississippi river.

Stamp books sold at one cent above

If the whole of the selling price of
the booklets were profit, the s1S0,000
would mean that 100000 of these
booklets were sold; as a matter of
fact, they cost the government about
a quarter of a cent to make, so that
in reality the number sold was 25,-

s25T 900 for these unconsidered
trifles. In the year 1900 the whole
