Captain Cook's Club.
Here is a story by Barhum, worth reading. — '•Whenlfirstopenedmygreatmuseum in New York » newspaper reporter called on me, and was duly shown over and duly admired the exhibits, suggesting that the only thing required to make my sbow complete was the club with which the natives killed Captain Cook. Now, I had several war clubs in my lumber-room at the time, and seizing the idea, I eaid that, curiously enough, I had secured the treasure yester day, and would show it to him, I hurried up, procured a label, and placed the club in his hands. He turned it over — he almost shed tears, I thought— and then he spoke. ' Poor Cook,' he said ; ' poor fellow ! I'm glad you've shown me this : but I expected it. I've been to all the smaller museums in the city, and they all had it, so I felt sure that a gigantic establishment like this would not be without it.'"
