S80 many things may be sald of St. Gaudens—of the traits of his genius, his modesty, his deep sympathy with all who possessed high ideals or who had noble thoughts; of his own noble generosity, his willingness to sacrifice himself for the advancement of art, his keen perception of beautiful char- acter, or of a fine impulse that often shone for him out of the most com- monplace of lives or of features, One incident of many, says Harper's Week- ly, may not only illustrate him, but help to Hlumine a masterplece of his which has perplexed some minds that may be worth the enlightening, ‘The work Is the figure of ‘Nirvana’ in the Rock Creek cemetery at Washington. 8t. Gaudens was in Washington in the winter of 1002, making his beauti- ful rellef of Wayne MacVeagh and Mrs. MacVeagh, and Hildegarde Haw- thorne was there, too, and visited mere “Nirvana” cemetery. At last she was moved to write some verses, which she sent to a magazine, but the editor thought that he had seen verses on the sculptor's work that better expressed its sentl- ments, and returned the verses with the stimulating suggestion that some day he would show the young woman gome real poetry about the figure. St Gaudens, too, had seen both poems, and when he heard of this expression of the editor's he wrote to him and gaid that Hildegarde Hawthorne had divined his intention as no writer had done, and therefore the verses are In print. So, if you like, you may solve the riddle by Yeading them.” JOYS OF A COLLECTOR. Picking Up a Valuable Painting at an Auction Sale.

On consulting his catalogue he discovered that the portrait was de scribed as being that of a man un- known, and, further, the artist was also unknown. Now, be knew that the portrait was that of a famous actor by a famous English painter. He longed to buy it, but decided that it would go at too high a price. He went to the auction with very little hope. The Whistler and the Sargent were sold, and then it was the turn of this picture, Nobody recognized it. Finally he had to start the bidding himself, and this he did. Only one man bid against him but he soon stopped, discouraged, then the pleture was knocked down to the man who had never expected to get it. He hurried to the desk to pay the small amount and to carry off his prize. “Do you happen to know any- thing about that portrait?” the auc- tioneer nsked him as a porter took It down to a cab. “I know it very weil” sald the new owner, conscious that it was now safely his property. “It is a portrait of Buckstone, the actor, by Daniel Maclise. There Is an engraving of it in the Maciise portrait gallery.” Mrs. John Lane In Pearson's Magasine. Started the French Walking. The celebrated Dr. Tronchin, friend of Voltaire.

A naval officer, very well and favor- ably known in London, has for some unknown reason been advanced in his profession very slowly, though he has grown gray in the service and indeed lamentably bald. Recently one of his juniors was bold enough to question him as to his remarkable absence of halr, “How comes it that you are so very bald?’ The officer replied promptly and with much vindictiveness: “You, man, you would be bald, I think, if you had had men stepping over your head for years in the way 1 have.”—London Punch, A French Joke.

It was a stmopie ilttle sign in appearance, but it was full of meaning to those who could read it—a dong stick with one end stuck In the ground, the other leaning and pointing up the road. The stick was elevated at an angle of only about ten degrees from the ground and was supported on a stone. It told some Indian that his friend had been along there amd had gone ahead In the ip poiuted out by the stick veled at It, but on ound that the Indians of Califor- signs to convey lntelll- each. 1 found that among the Cocopahs, Cohoillas, Plmas and Yu sign Is as much in use HE ever, While traveling in Ban Bernardino county later on | came Across a pecu- Har grouping saw taal sone investiga- nia il use gence to each mus the of stones, and Indian had left a sign 80 that all other Indians might know that water found in a tain direction.

True, there was not a bij board set up with “Water” painted on it, but to the initiated it was equally plain. There I» not a trail In ali the southwest that runs near a spring that does not have the sign openly displaj ed. 1 have even seen instances where the water was so far from the trail that to show where it is regular 1 gpecial signs have been made Rometimes, however, these circles may not mean water at all, and then it is necessary to understand | the jutri cacies of the Indian mind to understand just what be is driving at. 1 remem ber ounce when | was hunting ou the Republican river | came across a circle of buffalo skulls, which attracted my attention because of their peculiar ar rangement. Sixteen skulls were set in a semicircle with their noses pointing down the river. In the center of the circle was a skull on which were paint ed thirty-six red lines. Near the skulls were two small sticks placed apright in the ground, and at the top of each stick were tied two bundles of hair A Pawnee Indian was with me and told me that thirty-six Pawnees had camped there. They had made a raid against a camp of Comanches contain ing sixteen tents or lodges and bad taken four scalps. They were now re turning home down the river. To the ordinary observer this arrangement of skulls and sticks would have given no more impression than the idea that some one had been amusing himself by playing with these buffalo skulls. To the Indian the arrangement was a complete story. Indians use signs for several specific purposes, the most prevalent being that of guidance, but they are alsg used for direction, departure, Intention, condi tion, warning and claim or demand. | was hunting with a party of Utes in southwestern Colorado, and we had separated with the understanding that we were to meet again at a specified place and all go back to the village to- gether. On reaching the appointed place one of the party was not there, but the rest started to the village, pay- ing no attention to his nonappearance. 1 asked If they were not going to wait until he came back, but they sald he had been there and had gone on to the village without waiting for us to come up. When 1 expressed surprise 1 was ghown a long stick standing in the trail with a bunch of grass fastened to its top. The stick was leaning toward the village, and this told the stery of the missing man as plainly as If he had written a letter about it. 1 found that a similar stick had been erected at the top of every hill between there and where the village could be seen. He took no chances of the sticks fall ing down and told the story over sev. eral times, The same sign is used by the Indians of southern Alaska and also by the Winnebagoes of Manitoba. The Sioux use a split stick with a short stick In F000. 000000000900 0000000000000000000R0000RRRIRIRRGOY #0 We wish to announce to our many patrons, and to those who have not yet become so, that we are now able to accommodate you better than ever in the way of having a more complete line of Furniture.
