INFLUENCE OF A SONo.
rt Caused Artist j. u Brown to EmiRrsts

ts Caused Artist j. u Brown to Emigrsts
to America and Brought GoodLuck.
After thirteen months in Edinburgh
he went to London. Every young man
in the United Kingdom with partic-
ularly brainy head, and a fips plucky
confidence in his ability to hew out his
fortunes, drifts to London, just as in
America clever young fellows from all
parts Of the country come to New
York.
There in the vast metropolis the
young art student made designs for
manufacturer of stained glass windows
and also painted portraits. He was
getting away from the glass factory
little, and was taking a stronger hold
on art. He was perfectly willing to
paint a portrait for sS or $40. He
could finish two of them a week.
One night he heard Harry Russell
sing some Of his eNigrant songs. Rus
sell was concert singer of those days;
he had a sympathetic voice and sang
popular songs. That settled it for
young Brown. He would emigrate. He
must "cross the wide blue sea-" And
he did. He arrived at New York on
his twenty-second birthday, and he
has been here ever since. AS usual,
when he made change from one place
to another, he at once sought for the art
instruction in the new field. His three
pound prize and his portrait painting
at $40 portrait had not yet enabled
him to sink the artisan and be only
the artist. So he got employment in a
glass factory, and went to the night
classes Of the Academy Of Design, then
on the southwest corner of Broadway
and Thirteenth street. Thomas S.
Cummings had charge of these classes
at that time.
So far young Browns career had been
very like that Of the good young man
In the story books. Now, in the story
books, the good young man, as a rule,
marries his employers daughter. So
that though this is always most beau
siful and delightful thing, it does not
seem thrillingly novel or original on
the part of the hero. Still, this is
what ]. G. Brown did some two years
after he arrived in America. He mar
ried Miss Owens, the daughter OF his
employer. Then he went to live in
Brooklyn, where Mr.. Brown took a
studio on Atlantic and Clinton streets.
And after they had been married one
year Mr.. Owens died, and year later
came the panic of 1857, in which what
ever property the Owens family had
was lost. Mr.. Brown is ever so much
better able to endure these hard times
today, when he Is sixty-three, than he
was when he was twenty-six. But he
went ahead, with the grit that has al
ways marked him, painting portraits,
and about this time he began to paint
children, pictures of little boys and
girls, with 'story" in them. His
fondness for this class OF subjects
brought it about that after while he
was spoken Of as "The Child Painter"
He is still entitled to this appellation,
though his tough" little newsboys and
bootblacks are almost too bold and in
dependent to be styled children. Most
of them are little men.

Running Double Capacit,.

In the year 1894 the De Kalb Fence
Co. of De Kalb, H., doubled the ca
pacity for producing their lines over
1893. which gave them an output Of
- miles per day. The demand for their

son, that in order to be able to supply
their trade, they have been compelled
this year to double the capacity OF 1894,
which now gives them an output of 40
miles per day.
This in itself speaks we'll for their
product and merits the attention and
inspection Of our readers. and all that
