“ Ah, nature is a real artist,” ex­
claimed the thin man, addressing
the fat man who sat in the opposite

wonders ? Have you never watched
the lambent flame of dawn life leap­
ing across the dome of the world?
Have y o u never watched the red
stained islets floating in lakes of
Are? Have you never been drawn
bv the ragged, raven’s wing, sky

pale moon? Have you never felt
the amazement of these things?”
"N o t since I swore off,” replied
the fat man as he prepared to nunt

A tourist who was tramping over
Mexico last year was “ put un,r for a
night at a Isay, rickety little shack
that was called a hotel. It wns in
the country, in tha northern part of
Nuevo Leon atato.
“ A* the hotel,” the tourist said,
“ the old stage joke about stopping
on the outside was no joke at all.
Very much travel worn, 1 arrived
lato in the afternoon. There wore
only two rooms in the ‘ poeada,’
meaning in Mexico— ‘the hotel*—
a largo room, which served as lob­
by, office and dining room, and a
much smaller aide room, which waa
kitchen and everything else con­
nected with the hostelry.
“ I did not find out until after I
had paid, a little matter that was
demanded in advance with such a
flourish of courtesy that 1 could not
hesitate. I spent aeveral perturbed
momenta, off and on, wondering
where I waa to sleep.
However,
there were three other ‘guests,’
Mexicans, who did not appear to
be worrying, so I tried to be pa­
tient.
“ Supper, an affair of lota of pep­
per and little food, was ‘served’ by
the proprietor’s wife. Shortly after
nightfall the proprietor, with much
bowing and gesturing and ‘Senor
Americano’-ing, signified to me that
he would take pleasure in assigning
me to my room. I followed him—
out of the hotel and into a small
corn patch behind the building.
“ In a corn row, at a spot where
the overlapping top blades were
thick enough to form a canopy that
was at least dewproof, my landlord
halted and pointed to an old blan­
ket which had been spread in the
hollow between the rowa, and, bow­
ing and senoring some more, de­
parted.
“ That was my room. There waa
an old frayed mat for a pillow, with
a dilapidated blanket for a cover­
ing
“ Did I call up the office aod kick
on the room? I did not. The earth
was dry and warm, and having been
recentfy hoed waa not hard, and be­
ing dead tired I turned in at once
and had a dandy sleep.” — New
York Times.
Paint and
a Lunatio.
“ Among my patients today,” said
an English mind doctor, “ ia one
man whose skill with the brush
would almost surely qualify him for
high rank if he were only in posses­
sion of his senses. There are few
of the great exhibitions which do
not contain one or more of his can­
vases, and he has often received as
much as $500 for a picture. And
yet this man ia as ‘ mad as a hatter,’
the victim of terrible delusions and
subject to violent homicidal attacks.
Naturally hia work is unreliable.
One week he will produce a master­
ly and beautiful picture, with gen­
ius iD every line of it. The next he
will paint the moat weird picture, a
perfect nightmare in color, which,
curiously enough, he always con­
sidéra a masterpiece.”
