Our New
Leader,
$I.45.

Last years demand for our Leader was
so large that we were unable to manufac-
ture them as fast as they were ordered.
This year we have one mammoth factory
that manufactures nothing but this line,
and we are making this boot in such
immense quantities, that we are able to
produce much better boot.
: We have many new improvements in
this line: first, ii is made of heavy gen.
uine Dongola, solid leather sole and inner
sole; second, it has a leather sock lining,
which no other but high-priced boot
has third, it has back-stay fourth, as
much care is taken in selecting this stock,
and in making, as in our higher-priced
goods; fifth, we not only warrant but we
guarantee every line to be just as repre-
sented. The above cut is an exact copy
of the boot itself.

The Ball Season Triumphantly Closed.
The Brookhaven Base Ball Club
closed the season last week with two
match games here with the picked
nine of the American Athletic Asso-
citation of New Orleans. In the first
game, played on Wednesday, and
which was holly contested at every
point, the score stood to in favor of
New Orleans. On Thursday, the sec
ond and last day, Brookhaven came
out with flying colors, and scored a
signal victory, the score standing q to
3 in favor of the home team.
The Brookhaven boys and their
friends are naturally enough feeling
highly elated at this successful closing
of the season.

BUST OF RICHARD NJ. JOHNSON.
when Johnson was in congress in 1912,
and the English and Indians had COM
bined to attack the new republic, John
son went home to Kentucky and raised
a battalion of three companies, and
after they had been consolidated into a
regiment was made the colonel and
served for ten months. He returned for
short space to his congressional lu-
ties, but at the command of the secre-
tary of war soon raised a regiment CT
1000 volunteers and went to attack the
enemy in the west, joining his force to
that of Gen. William Henry Harrison,
who was then governor of Indiana and
the leader of the American troops. 1t
was then, on Oct. S, 1913, occurred the
famous battle of the Thames, the Amer
leans being victorious. Tecumseh was
found on the field dead, and it was as
serted that Johnson was the one who
shot him, as he was killed by a man on
horseback and Johnson was the only
one mounted, his command being in
fantry. 1t was also known that John
son had been engaged in hand-to-han
fight with one of the most desperate
chiefs. and it was thought that Te-
cumseh would be the very one to single
out the leader to meet his tomahawk,
foe worthy of his steel. johnson HIM
self was badly wounded. When John
son returned to congress he was still
too sick to walk, and his way up the
street was triumphal procession while
joint resolution Of thanks was passed
by the body. Afterward he came to the
| senate, and then he was chosen as
vice-president on the ticket headed by
Martin Van Buren,. No election was
made by the electoral college; thus fail
ing in an election by this means, john
son was chosen by the senate to that
high position.

recalling the Leucadian cliff from which
Sappho jumped into the sea. He is a
dark and diminutive man. and used, be-
fore he went to japan few years ago,
to wear an enormous sombrero that
dwarfed his small head into insignifi-
canoe. Hearn became known as an au-

with him, and 1t is likely that he will

tured criticism, which they are often
careful to invite, sometimes evading
the effect with contemptuOus air or
by supercilious silence and dsdain.
Not so with Hovenden. He would make
chalk marks on his canvases. and the
critic would go away certain that he
had influenced the painter to his direc-
ton. Such tendency was a marked
characteristic Of Hovenden. and, of
course. he made his visitor feel highly
flattered at the reception accorded to
>rhis artistic perception. But all of this
was simply the trait of gentle nature,
! with no desire to obtrude his skill in
technique or the thoroughness with
which he was dealing with the subject
in hand. Witness, for instance, this
very picture, Elaine. The artist be-
came a complete master of Arthurian
literature He became a close student
of the knights of the Round Table, and
at any moment he could reel of pages of

moreover, in no one of his important
works is there other than his own in
dividuality, in perfect mastery of de-
tail, and that chiefly is why he became
the commanding figure he was and will
remain.
1T has been generally supposed in
art circles that Hovenden was largely
favored by the pecuniary advances and
patronage Of William T. Walters of
baltimore, then the richest col
lector in America. While he
did render assistance to the
painter working at Port Ayen, in Brit
tany, Hoyenden won a name for himself
soon. He sold his pictures to the great
galleries of Europe" Said another art

A beautiful story of sisterly devotion
to "A gifted brother is told in a little
book just published entitled Ma Soeur

obvious reasons, its publication was de-
layed until the tomb had closed over
both brother and sister. The son and
widow of the great writer have made
a pious task of giving to the world this
interesting record of pure and last
ing friendship, which Ernest Renan
took pleasure in writing after death
had robbed him of his faithful sister

than her brother Ernest and the tender
solicitude with which she watched over
him in his years Of infancy was never
relaxed while she lived. After the
