the exhibition was a success from an
artistic standpoint, ii was a fiat fall
ure financially. The exhibition was
held in January of this year, and Mr..
Rhead has done nothing but posters
since that time. His aim in making
posters has been primarily to introduce
a thoroughly decorative and moral
style of design. He thinks that this is
only the forerunner of an upheaval
of the renoiassaice of art generally. He
thinks that with the coming of the
new century art will be universal, and
that everybody, the common people
included. will appreciate and under
stand and admire the most absolutely
beautiful works of art in all branches,
as II was in the time of the early We
netian school and during the renais-
sance. in the 18th and 18th centuries.
Poster work in this country" Mr..
Rhead said, practically had it's birth
two years ago, and Ii is imagined by
a number of people that the craze Will
die out. 1t will die out in so far as
the great amount of rubbish produced
will overwhelm itself 1 am told by
large number of photographers that
they will never go back to the old
style of work for advertising purposes,
such as book covers and the like, and
that they will always continue in the
new broad style. The strongest part OF
decorative posters Is accomplished
when they are strictly decorative. Tt
has been aptly said that the tendency
to straighten out and find a path upon
which art and decorative art generally
will know where they are. The future
is also very bright for those who use
this art as a means of advertising
themselves"
Mr.. Rhead can see ahead from the
orders he is receiving that there is no
limit to the variety and beauty of
street decoration; and the good infiu-
ence that 1t will have on the general
public will be incalculable. He believes
also that decorative theatrical posters
will be used and that Photographic
views of plays will be entirely done
away with. and that theatrical maya
zines will use allegorical and decorat-
i've subject pure and simple, rather
than views of the plays. which reveal
the plot before the play is seen.
Mr.. Rhead lives in a cozy little house
with studio adjoining. close by Pros
pect park in Brooklyn, n. Y. He has
gathered a vast amount of interesting
material bearing on his work, and a
visit to his studio to look over his col

work is unbounded. and he is always

methods OF work, always excepting the
ability TO create IL.

of enjoyment and fun and did not like
his work, his father was determined
that he should try to make something
of himself, so he would lock the boy
up in a studio, where he had to exc
cute certain designs before coming out.
When Rhead was IS years old he was
sent to study under the famous French
painter. Boulanger, who taught him TO
draw the human figure at that early
age. He studied under Boulanger for
two years and then entered into COM
petition for the national scholarship,
which he won after two years hard
work. He was thus enabled TO study
at South Kensington, and after four
years work was able to earn a COM
Portable income. He also studied at
different times under Poynter, Leigh
ton. Alphonse Legros, and Dalou, the
famous sculptor.
After a season of sketching and
painting in various parts of England
Mr.. Rhead returned TO London, where
he met a member of the Appleton pub
fishing house who had heard of him
through a London publisher as being
a specialist for designing book covers.
He was offered a very good salary to
come to America and finally accepted
the proposition, although intending to
return and complete his studies at
Rome. His marriage to an American
lady, however, led to his settling down
permanently IN the United States,
whose citizenship he has adopted.
Since coming to America he has

party will doubtless plead guilty to a
man, though a little hard swearing
would probably clear half of them;
they will beg for mercy or for light
sentences; and those of them who
promise amendment will most likely
never again be brought in on the same
charge, for the mountaineer Is prone
to keep his promises, amendatory or
otherwise.
A venerable judge, in whom judicial
severity is tempered by a generous adj
mixture of loving kindness and mercy,
and whose humane decisions have
made his name a word to conjure with
among the jewellers in the waste places,
tells a story which emphasizes the
promise-keeping trait in the mountain
character. A hardened sinner OF the
stills, whose first and second offenses
were already recorded against him,
was once again brought to book by the
vigilance of the revenue-men. As an
old offender, who had neither promised
nor repented, 1t was likely to go hard
with him; and he begged earnestly. not
for liberty, but for a Communication of
his sentence which would send him to
Jail instead of the penitentiary, prom

key. He won his case, and was sent to
Jail for a term of IL months. This was
in summer, and six months later, when
the first SHOWS began to powder the
bleak SUBMITS of Chilhowee, the judge
received a letter from the convict. 1t
was a simple-hearted petition for
"furlough" of 10 days, pathetic and elo-
quent in its primitive English and
quaint misspelling. Would the good
judge let him off for just 10 days?
Winter was coming on, and the wife
and children were alone in the cabin
on the mountain, with no one to make
provision for their wants. He would
not overstay the time, and he would
certain shore come back and surren-
der himself.
His petition was granted, and, true
to his word, the mountaineer returned
on the tenth day and gave himself up
to the sheriff. He served the remain
