ga Yard Of Roses"

One Of the popular paintings at the New
York Academy of Design was a yard-long
panel Of roses. A crowd was always before
it. One art critic exclaimed: .Such bit
OF nature should belong to all the people:
1t Is too beautiful for one man to hide
away"
The Youths Companion, of Boston, seized
the idea and spent $50, 900 to reproduce the
painting: The result has been q triumph Of
artistic delicacy and color.
The Companion makes this copy of the
painting an autumn gift to each Of its $780,

WHILE it was still in doubt wheth-

Of Mitylene was joke or not good
deal was said as to what Russia would
feel bound to do if the landing had
been anything but a picnic. Now
that the British Government has
frankly avowed that her soldier lad
dies landed for the express purpose Of
seeing how far the island was availa-

does not seem to regard itself bound
