HIS ARTISTIC CAREER.
az could draw on wood at a very
tender age. When a mere child, /
once drew a small cart-load of raw
turnips over q wooden bridge. The
reople of the village noticed me- l
drew their attention. They sid | had
future before me. Up TO that time |
had an idea it was behind me.
s Time passed on. 1t always does,
by the way. You may possible have
noticed that time always does. 1t is
kind of way time Las.
IL became a man. | haven't distin
9uished myself at all as an artist but
have always been more or less mixed
up with art. | have an uncle who
takes photographs, and have a servant
who-takes anything he can get his
hands on"

dest when sing. So are those who
hear me. They are sadder even than |

young men came under my window and

good one"
