shlNeLINe HIS OWN ROOF.

Chaplain McCabe once told the
story Of drinking man, who, being
In . saloon late at night, heard the
wife of the saloonkeeper say to her
husband:
Send that fellow home; It's late"
'No. never mind" replied the hus-
band. he is shingling our house for
u.s."
The idea lodged in the mind Of the
drunkard, and he did not return to
the saloon for six months. When
passing the saloonkeeper on the
street, the latter said:
"Why don't you come round to my
place any more"
Thank you for your kind hospi
tality." replied the former victim
i've been shingling my own roof
lately"

THE ART OF NORWAY.
II Reflects the Early Peasant and the
National Character.

II Reflects the Early Peasant and .he
National Character.
Long before, the art Of painting was
practiced In Norway the Norwegian
peasant, like his Magyar contempo-
rary, had developed an art that was
and still remains thoroughly national.
The Norwegian peasant art, like that
Of other countries, is characterized by
1 primitive purity Of color that antic:-
pates the art Of today and forms, so to
speak, a connecting link that ties the
present to the past. If we remember
the crude vigor and bold color of this
Early peasant art we shall perhaps bet
ter understand contemporary Norwe-
gian art.
Temperamentally they are the same.
We find I'm both the same characters
tic forthrightness of expression, the
same bold, uncompromising design and
color. Moreover, both are alike In that
the aim Of each Is to fill given space
with a design that will form decora-
ton. Much Of modern art Is In this
direction, and contemporary Norwe-
gian art is no exception to this.
If this art appears somewhat rough
and crude, more forceful and original
than polished and ingratiating, it is the
fault Of the national character rather
than of tho srt itself. We are not a
suave people; we are somewhat blunt
and direct, and these racial qualities
are expressing themselves more and
more I'm our art as It gradually emanci-
pates itself from foreign influences and
returns to its basic character.-J. NIL
sen Laurvik in Century.
