Half an hour later Mr. Bowser was ringing the bell of another boarding house. He didn't look for homelike ap- pearances on the outside.

It is dyed yellow and red and in- stiip of red. .Up the side seams blue pan- digo. and some of the garments into €is are appliqued in a graceful arabesque design. The: edges of the arabesques ‘are fas- tened to the body with as minute stitches as if sewed by a machine. Bands of sim- pler design ornament the tops of the slceves, and there are blue cuffs decora- tive in outline. Another gown shows three bands about two inches wide, in dark blue, yellow and red, laid close together. This garment is further ornamented with appliqued scroll figures in blue, each about two inches long, over the entire sur- face.

The garments are sewn together with fine thread, also.made of fish skin. Still another use to which fish skin is put is to decorate the boots of both men and wom- 2n, sections of highly colored skin being appliqued on the elk hide of which the bLoots are made. One of the fish skin garments in the col- lection is a warm weather garment, for it is unlined. .If it had been made in Pa THE TORTOBE. [ A Esop’s Fables knoweth the Feel of a Dollar.

WISE GUY met a Sloppy- Weather Gazabo driving a Woolly Skate to a Rickety Cart. Now the Wise Guy had taken Wine, wherefore his heart was Merry, and he Bawled Out to the Gazabo: “Ho, there!” he said.. “Wherefore drivest thou yon Animated Corpse through a Civilized Community? Fearest thou not th» Health Officer?” “Go to!’ answered the Gazabo. “Verily I say unto you this Skate doeth the quarter in 37 flat!” “Ha, ha!” whooped the Wise Guy, and he made a long nose at ‘the Ga- zabo and mocked him, saying: “Run, saidst thou? Of a truth, the “0ld Crow-Bait hath been dead so long he Stinketh! Yea, verily, thou hast stolen him from the Soap Factory!” Then did the Gazabo wax wroth and he clomb down and unhitched the Skate, and said unto the Wise Guy: “Behold! the tongue waggeth, but it is the obolus that talketh!” and he Pungled Up a Big Wad and offered to bet the Whole Thing on the Maligned Skate. Now it so happened that the Wise Guy possessed a steed that Could Up to Date. GUY AND AND THE EAZAB0. Run, ‘Wherefore he spake to the Gazabo, saying: “Lo! I see thee and go thee an even need a little Easy Money? Yea, verily!” Then it came to Pass that they ran, and the Skate with the Excelsior Hair ran with exceeding swiftness: yea, even as a Scared Rabbit.ran he, even so that he reaclied the Goal and fell asleep ere the Wise Guy was within Hailing Distance. Z “By my Father’s Beard!” shrieked the Wise: Guy, “but I have been Bunkoed!” “Almost do I feel sorry for thee!” grinned the Gazabo, “for thou wert so Very Easy!” and he went His Way, leaving the Wise Guy poorer in the Scads, though .richer in Experience. But alas! experience Buyeth not Beer: neither doth it purchase Bo- logna. Moral: Never trust Appearances; the sad Mule kicketh Hardest.

(Copyright,’1901, by A. J. Moore.) NCE upon a '.Hme there lived a Monkey who thought he could Sing. “I will be a Star!” said he. So he learned a Rag Song from a Ceon Shouter at the nearest Dive and then traveled into a Strange Land to try it on the Dog. Now this Monkey had a Voice like vthe Glass Crash of the End Man in 2 Minstrel Show and his Technique was like unto a drunken Stamp Mill; yec was he possessed of a Wondrous nerve; also he knew Human Nature. And it came to Pass when he sang before the ' People that they orose in their Wrath and Howled and- Threw Things and were Exceeding Tumultuot “Whersfore this Unseemly Demon-" stration?” demanded the indigmant Monk. “Thinkest thou that this is’ o session of the Austrian Reichsrath or a Democratic Convention?” ‘ “Lay Down!” yelled the Strenuous “Thou singest like a Railroad Wreck and thy Chords dom’t Track! Of a truth thou art a Fake!” And’ they reviled him yet more and Cast Things from out of Nigger Heaven.” “Go to!” thundered the Monk. “What knowest thou about the Class-_ ics? Behold! Thou hast been listen, ing to Grand Opera and wotted it not!” and he pointed at them tha Finger of Scorn. Then the Abashed Rabble bowed down to the Shrewd Monk, and for many Seasons thereafter did they crowd th: Theaters to listen to the Great Star. Yea, Verily, they did Cough Up as much as five sestertii for a Reserved Seat and de:rmcd them,,, selves Lucky; for was it not Gran&- Opera? Yea, verily! And as time went on, the Monkey’s: Voice grew worse and worse; but even™ as it grew worse, so did the enthu<” siasm of the Rabble increase—for of” such are the Devotees of Grand Opera © Moral: Grand Opera under anmy other name would reap divers and_ many rotten eggs.
