THE BOY MICHAEL ANGELO.
First Work of the Artist-How He Received
n Suggestion.

n Suggestion.
One afternoon the Duke Lorenzo de
Medici, in walking through the garden,
come upon young Michael Angelo, who
was busy chiseling his first piece OF sculpt-
ure, says Alexander Black in the January
st. Nicholas. The duke saw in the stone
the face OF a faun, which the boy was
copying from an antique mask, but which,
with his usual Impotence of imita-
ton, he was changing so as to show
the open lips and teeth. GLOW is it," said
the duke, drawing closer, that you
have given your faun q complete set of
teeth? Don't you know that such an old
fellow was sure to have lost some of
them?" Michael Angelo at once saw the
justice of the criticism. Artists are not
always ready to receive adverse comment.
Michael Angelo himself was quick-tem-
pered and hard to move. A hot word to
n of his boy companions on a certain
occasion brought so severe a blow in the
face that all truthful portraits of Michael
Angelo have since had to show him with
a broken nose. But the dukes criticism
was kindly given, and was plainly war
ranted. and the ptOr could hard
ly wait till the duke walked on before be-
ginning the correction. nen the duke
saw the faun's fac again he found some
of the teeth gone and the empty sockets
s~killfully chiseled out.
Delighted with this evidence OF the lads
willingness to seize and act upon a sugges-
ton. and impressed anew by his artistic
skill, the duke made inquiries, learned that
Michael Angelo had borrowed stone and
tools on his own accoun in his eagerness
to begin sculpture (he was at first set at
drawing from the statuary), and ended by
sending for the boys father. The result
of the consultation was that the duke took
Michael Angelo under his own special
patronage and protection, and was so well
pleased after he bad done it that no favor
seemed too great to be-tow upon the ener-
getic young artist. Michael Angelo, then
only fifteen, not only received a key to the
garden of sculpture. and an apartment in
the Nledici palace itself, but had a place
at the dukes table. In fact a real attach
ment grew up between Michael Angelo
and the duke, who frequently called the
boy to his own rooms, when he would
open a cabinet of gems and intaglios, seek
his young visitors opinions. and enter in
TO long and confidential talks.

the artist congratulated himself on having
found such willing models. At II o'cock
the gentleman packed up his s~ketching
materials and prepared TO leave.
"Here. boys" said he, "rn give you 10
cents apiece. I'm very much obliged to
you besides"
Apparently somewhat astonished, the
children accepted the money, but when
the gentleman was moving away one boy
recovered himself sufficiently to call:
"But where are our pictures?"
"Ail safe in this portfolio. You saw me
put them there" came the innocent reply.
but we didn't have 'em taken for you.
We had EN- for ourselves!" said another
child plaintively.
Then the artist understood. "But, my
dear children" he said, gravely, "if you
are to have the picture, you must pay me
for my paper and pencils, and all my fore
moons work"
Here's my 10 %cents!" piped up the ring

He resolved to appeal to the native sharp

scribing the incident. 'You never can

There are some four or five country
newspapers in different parts of the state
endeavoring to convey the impression to
their readers that THE SENTINEL is not a
faithful exponent of democratic princi-
plies. We have often heard of newspaper
men making themselves ridiculous. The
SENTINEL is too well known throughout
this state to be in any way injured by
these newspapers which are doing more
harm thon good by trying to misrepresent
the truth. That THE INDIANAPOLIS SENTI-
MEL stands well with the democracy, and
that it is now one of the best dailies in
the state, no n questions.
