Art And The Cabinet

Art and the Cabinet.

With the wane of the discussion on the subject of bear hunting in the cabinet has come another spicy topic, with the point of the joke all on Secretary Hitchcock, says the Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune. The duties of the secretary of the interior are somewhat hazy and ill defined in the minds of the majority of people. The corresponding range of subjects referred to Secretary Hitchcock is somewhat astounding. He affirms, however, that the limit was passed the other day when he received the following request through the mail:

"Will you please give me the names and addresses of three or more art students, where they want a woman with a perfect form to pose as a model?"

"That seems clearly to belong to the secretary of the 'exterior,'" was Mr. Hitchcock's dry comment.
