An Artists Model Who Had Seen Life.

An artist of my acquaintance was
searching for a model in the streets OF
New York. Crossing Union Square, he
saw the very type of face he required.
The owner of the face was seated on
one of the benches in an attitude oil
cheerful expectancy The artist ac-
costed the. old man and asked if he
would pose. He readily consented,
went to the studio at the appointed time,
was employed, gave satisfaction, and
became sort of retainer at the studio.
His massive white head and large white
beard met with favor in aesthetic circles
BY degrees, items of his personal history
came to light. He had been a gold.
digger in California in the early DAYS Of
the mining excitement. 8 He claimed to
have experienced fifteen shipwrecks in
the capacity of a sea Captain. Left an
orphan at an early age, he had been
educated by physician, and had
acquired some knowledge of medicine.
Fate threw him among the Indians Of
the far West, presumably on his way
from the gold-diggings, and he became
medicine-man. He was learned in
natural philosophy, and possessed a
meteorological cabinet and also sin
gular collection of roots, each twisted
BY nature into tho shape Of one of the
letters of the alphabet. He painted
shells skllfully, and had an ambition to
go round the world in canoe. This
remarkable person also wrote poetry
and was Yankee. 1t needed only a
master-brush to make this same repre-
sentative Yankee as classic as AIillci
peasant. Charlotte 4danls, in the
Century. .r
