ANTICIPATED RESULTS.


The direct and most important result
of the international display of works
of art at the Columbian exhibition will
be pronounced improvement in the
future art work of this country, Great
ing healthier ideals of what constitutes
real excellence, and SO elevating it to a
higher plane. These educational adj
vantages, presented through exactly
similar exhibitions, are the principal
value attached to them abroad and are
considered well-nigh intellectually ben
eficial.
1t may be inferred that the best
pictures Of the European artists will
create many imitators for time, like
Vollon's pumpkin at Paris, but they
will also encourage many not to forsake
their own individuality in their work,
and much that is tentative and acade-
mic now will disappear in consequence.
A new and broader conception Of the
work Of others besides the French, who
are comparatively well known here
notably those best of painters, the
Dutch-will be gained Several splen-
did Germans scarcely known at all in
this country and number of brilliant
Spaniards. Italians. Norwegians and
Scotch will doubtless awaken much in
terest and prompt close study Judg-
ing from the immediate past, the
French will lead in sculpture rather
than in painting

A Choice Recipe.

There is choice recipe. in which the
owl figures, to make anyone that
sleepeth answer to whatsoever thou
ask" given in ''Physick for the Poor"
published in London in 1857 1t SAYS
that you are to take the heart of an
owle and his left leg, and put that upon
the breast Of one that sleepeth. and
they shall reveal whatsoever thou shall
ask them" The Hindus. however. de-
clare that the flesh or blood of an owl
will make person insane who eats or
drinks it % this account men who
are devou-ed by jealousy OF a rival or
hatred Of an enemy come furtively TO

AN OUT OF SEASON DUCK.


It was Shot by One Hunter and Captured
by Another.
1t is a well-known fact that human
nature doesn't like to be laughed at, SO
ri Just tell you, as . friend, a little
Joke that was played on me by force
of circumstances" 1t happened on
Long Island, says writer in Forest
and Stream. was down there wood
cock shooting many moons ago, and on
the evening preceding my intended de-
parture was urged to get up before
daylight next morning to shoot black
duck or two to carry home. | strongly
protested against 1t, as it was the last
day Of September and the law was sup
posed to protect them till the first OF
October. However, stibed my con-
science in the face of such a tempta-
ton as they held out assuring me that
they had been shooting them for two or
three weeks) and slipped of quietly

in without even looking at him and got
on the cars with about as guilty feel

man ever walked off with.
After getting home and sitting in my
warm and coy room an hour or two,
rang for the servant-and told her
to get that duck out of my vaise and
cook it for my dinner
She opened the valise, dragged out
the duck and then with an ejaculatory

trick.

AMERICAN ART.
A Strong National Exhibit for the
Worlds Fair.
Results Of tho Exhibit - An Immediate
and Far Reaching Influence Upon
American Culture Certain to Fol-
low o Well-Selected Display.
COPYRIGHT. 1927

COPYRIGHT. 1927
As the date for the opening of the
worlds fair draws nearer interest in
special departments of the exposition
becomes leener and preparations take
on more definite and expressive form.
Although, perhaps. few very important
departments of the show have received
less bic attention than the art dis
play. for the reason that the prepare
tons in this department are peculiarly
remote from public observation, the art
world is interested as it has seldom be-
fore been interested.
There is the liveliest expectation as
to the character Of the display in gen.
eral. 1t is known that every country
which has made any name in art is
bending itself nightly to the task Of
making great name at Chicago.
The chief interest Of the American
painters is, however. centered on the
general American display which will
test the metal of modern American art.
Concerning this general display the fol-
lowing expressions of opinion have
been gathered from prominent eastern
artists:

MERIT. NOT SCHOOLS.

In my opinion truly representative
American exhibition of painting might
be made exceedingly interesting and in
structive. but such an exhibition should
be treated in true catholic spirit by
both committees on selection and by
the committee that has charge of ar
ranging the exhibits.
In the first place, the exhibit should
commence by showing the advancement
of art in this country from the begin
ming, selecting the best works of those
early portrait painters like Trumbull.
Aston, etc, which would by them
selves make an interesting collection.
Then come the later artists-in figure
as well as in landscape-who have dis
tinguished themselves in their time.
but they should be represented by only
their best works. So also with the
modern school. And here comes the
work for the committee on selection,
which should be unbiased and I'M
prejudiced. and do away entirely with
their own feelings in regard to concep-
tions of art-whatever that may be-
and judge pictures according to their
merits. from the standpoint and views
OF those artists upon whose work they
have to decide.
Here is not the place for preference
to the new school or old school, but to
judge of the merits which exist in the
different ways of treatment and con-
ception of art. This same spirit should
also guide the committee of arrange
ments of the art gallery and do away,
for the time at least, with all sorts Of
partisanship and preiudices.
If not carried out in broad spirit
the success of this exhibition will be
doubtful. If carried out in a proper
spirit there is no reason why we should
not hold our own among other nations,
who will be represented by their
best work and will do all in their
power to show that work to the
best advantage. Let every artist
try to be American in his exhibit and
we will be successful

PRESIDENT WOODS IDEAS.

The character of the art exhibit at
the Chicago fair is something in which
every American artist is deeply in
terested, not because its brilliancy
might impress Europe-though we are
bound to be influenced by certain con-
siderations of this kind. and reasonabl
so-but because of the immediate,
