cents hospital Both worked hard and

after they had retired to their corner,
neither seemed to have suffered any in
Jury. Tho referee decided in favor of
Justice, and as soon as the decision was
announced Duffy collapsed. He was
carried to his dressing room in a helpless
condition and physicians worked for fully
half an hour, but their efforts were futile
as he did not regain consciousness. The
physicians say Duffy is in n very serious
condition. As near rs they could judge
he is suffering from hcmorrhagc Of the
brain, but stated that his condition might
have been brought about by undue eNcr-
ton and probably was not caused by any
blow received during the contest.
At late hour tonight the hospital sur
gcons pronounced Duffy's condition 10 bo
almost hopeless.
Manager O'Rourkc, Referee Dick
Roche and Geo. Justice, who was Dully'S

h Choosing Paintings Get at the Inter-
 lion of the Artist
 The value of . picture depends upo7 what there is IH lt for Is posssss5s, sa writes William Martin Johason ia Ths Ladies Home Journal, on the Selee. ton and Framing Of Pictures. A painting by an amateur nay ba mors precious ia your eyes than enc q Ra. phasl's cartoons, Therefore sell youI cartoon Q the highest bidder, and when yo0 outgrow the little painting buy bae5 the cartoon If you have learned to ssS its beauty
 No one can tell you how to under. stand art without your seeing 1t study. ing it. living with 1t. any more than any ono can tell you how to tell good cloth from bad. You must first have had experience with cloth. Learn 8 language before yeu try to converse But de Tot go so far s to imagine that you must learn drawing and painting before you can appreciate pictures. The less you know about technique the more capabis you will be of looking at a painting with an appropriated eye. Get at the artists intention. Does he express an idea to you? Is he interesting in the way hs tells his story? Does he convince you of a truth? If the picture is that of head, docs it impress you as having the char. acteristics of an individual? Does il look like a human being? Suppose a landscape is under diseussion-do the trees sway, the clouds float? Is there any atmosphere in the painting? These are the tests of q painter facility with Ian- guage But moro than this is required lit IS the intellectually behind the brush. Herein lies the difference b.. tween sublime art and the common place. ,
