PRACTICAL ARTS AT
FAN-AMERICAN SHOW
Novel Exhibit Showing Extrnordi
nary Skill in Handicraft Is Be
ing Arranged for the Buffalo
Exposition.
Jtcinufncturod Roods will be liousci
ut the Pan-American exposition, tn an
elaborate .structure M0 feet lonK by
3r.O feet In wliltb. The building as
originally designed contained an open
court or patio In the center. In con
formity with the old Spanish Mission
House deslRii. The rlomamli for space
has been so tjrent that the manage
ment have decided to loof this patio
Willi Klass and Install therein the ex
hibits pertaining to artistic handicraft
at: applied to metals and other ma
tei ials which lend themselves to the
art decorative. Those will consist of
wroiifjht iron srlll work, fancy panel
iloslftns, Intilcato foi-KliiRS and a threat
variety of bronze castings and chase
work. This compartment will also
contain the sold and c-llver work o"
the Jfweler's art, consI.--t!ns of elab
orate and beautiful designs In pi eat
variety, jewelry of every description,
comprising a number of exhibits, nf
trrent value and artistic merit; plan
ished brass and copper, a great many
intricate and puzzling designs In wood,
Ivory, bone and other substances
which are used for this work. Marble
nnd stone work In fancy decorative
forms will also be a feature. Stained
glass, mosaics of glass and pottery,
with artistic glassware In many forms
and designs in decorative articles,
both useful and ornamental. Cera
mics will also be displayed in this
spctlon, showing the perfection to
which this branch of nrtlstlc Indu.stry
bus nttalned, Stamped and figured
leather, embroideries and fancy work
of every known description, urt tex
tiles comprising the heaviest tapes
tries In the many weaves through
combinations of warp, woof and pile,
to the thlnest'ancl most delicate fab
rics of silk,
The glass-roofed section will be treat
ed as a sub-tropical garden, thereby
giving large and wealthy deulers In ex
pensive art decorative articles an op
portunity to make elaborate displays
amid surroundlncs which are worthy
and appropriate, havln an adornment
of foliage, Interspersed with ornamen
tal pavilions, climbing vines and many
odd forma of vegetation. The original
design of an open patio with historical
water court nnd fountain could hardly
he more artistic and certainly could not
be as Interesting or entertaining. The
change instead of detracting from the
popularity of tho building, will en
hance tho artlstlct effect, besides train
ing a groat deal of much-needed space
for this valuable collection. Tho ad
vantage to be gained by this arrange
ment will ho it setting of unusual
beauty In a court that will he very

charm which always accompanies odd
varieties of growing plants.

Dr, Frederick Cook's Gold Comfort in

In tho Christmas number of the
Saturday Kvenlng Post Dr. Frederick
A. Cook relates his experiences with
the cold In the regions of tho An

" hen we start out from our com-'

"A somewhat similar mixture of
amusement and regret Is the result of
grasping metal Implements with the
unfloved hands In low temperatures.
If there Is a little excitement, such as
the chasing of a polar bear, or being
chased by one, a man Is apt to forget
his mittens and picks up his rifle with
the bare hand. For a fev seconds
there Is no discomfort, but when the
rifle In laid down the hand sticks to
It, and before the hunter separates
himself from the grip on the metal
parts he leaves a part of his skin be
hind, fiozen to the gun. This, how
ever, Is one of many little accidents
whlc ha man quickly feels and slrwlv
forgets."

"WOLCOTT'S ELECTION BET.
He Wagered $116 to '$1 That Bryan
Would Not Be Elected.
Fiom (he Waliinston Post.
i
Stories of Senator Wolcott's cam
paign In Colorado are among the most
Interesting reminiscences of the late
campaign. One of these ntories relates
to the episode at Victor, where, as
everybody remembers, there was a
state of affairs which It would be com
plimentary to call confusion. Before
the excitement reached Its helghth
some one In the crowd shouted "Hur
rah for Ttrvan!"
"Yes," Impulsively declared Wolcott,
"yuu can hurrah for Bryan all you like,
because you won't have a chance to
hurrah for him after election. Your
man Is beaten now."
"you're a liar," came the Bryanite.
"I'll bet you one hundred and sixteen
to ons he Is beaten," said Wolcott,
The man pushed his way through the
crowd and clambered up on the plat
form. "I'll take that bet," he said.
"Well." replied Wolcott. "here 18 the
cashier of our bank. You know him?
I authorize him to pay you $11G If
Bryan Is elected. Now put up your
money."
The man fumbled In his pocket and
brought out a silver dollar.
"Kiss It," exclaimed Wolcott, aa the
man was about to hand It to the bank
cashier. "Kiss It, for you will ne.vor
see it ngaln."
And Senator Wolcott was right.
