THE DAVIS ART GALLERIES,

No better wedding birthday or holt

tiful engraving, etching water color or
painting. handsomely framed, for, in
these days Of prOgressiEeness and re-
llnement they are appreciated by ALL
Nowhere in the New ENGLAND states
outside Of Boston can a finer stock Of
paintings, etchings, water c0lOrs, en-
cravings, pastels and art novelties be
found from which to select. or nowhere
can they be more artistically framed
than at The Davis Art Galleries, No. 6
Elm street. this city. The stock of
frames is Of the finest assortment, a
special feature being made Of artistic
framing, this work being done by ex-
pert and experienced workmen. At these
galleries taste and purse Of all can be
satlshed, for there are very often in one
exhibition paintings, etchings, etc. Of
q collective value Of from $4,000 to
$6OOoO. ranging from the best produc-
tons Of Well-known artists to the work
Of young but skilled painters In no
line Of business does frst-class work
manship and high-grade materials
count for more than in the framing of
paintings, etc, Inferior work or poor
materials, or both, will make them
selves manifest no matter how many
coats Of paints or varnish may cover
them. In this regard no business house
In this city has acquired a more unique
distinction Of being the representative
in it's line or has achieved a more en-
viable reputation for the high grade
and excellence Of the stock carried than
the Davis Galleries. The Photographic
department produces photos of all
kinds, a speciality being made Of carbon
and platinum photos, the best trade
patronizing this department. The bust
ness was started about 10 years ago,
and has been at the present location for
years. growing gradually year by
year, under Mr.. Davis's careful super
vision and management, until patrons
have been secured from all over Wor-
cester county these galleries being the
only ones in the line Of high art in the
entire county, and certainly offer far
better Inducements than where these
goods are carried by others simply as
small and unimportant part of other
lines. MI Davis is himself an authority
on art and possesses superior taste in
selecting those creations which are
sure to please the eye Of all lovers Of
true art. He has had many years ex-
perience in the line. receiving his in
struction largely in Worcester, he hav-
ing developed that instruction by travel
and study. II can certainly be said
that the success the Davis Art Cal
leries have attained is due to his untir-
ing efforts to please and to his entire
reliability in all business transactions.

The Child at the Play.

The ~6-year-old son Of a newspape,
man occasionally goes to the matines
with his mother. but the trouble with
him Is that he becomes greatly excited
and Is apt TO express his feelings In
words, to the amusement Of the audi.
ence, but somewhat to the annoyance
OF the actors. AT a recent play one OF
the actors was in the act Of choking an.
other whom be suspected Of being guilty
OF a crime. AS the actor went toward
the supposed villain with his hands
outstretched the boy became greatly ex-
cited, and as the men clinched the bow
stood up and called out, ''Say, let him
alone. he didn't do it," There was q
laugh from the audience and q surprised
look from the stage.
AT another time. in . play where .
husband suspected his wife, and she
was pleading to be taken home and
given an opportunity to prove her in
nocence, the boy could not stand the
woman's pleas and the husbands cold
reception Of her entreaties. and he called

OLD ST. JOHNS CHURCH.

Historically Ii Is Among the Most Inter.
esting Churches In the Country.
Historically and in the relics Of the
past which it contains few if any
churches in America are more interest
ing than old st. Johns at Portsmouth.
n. IL. The founding of the parish dates
from 1888, but the present edifce is
modern. 1t was built in 1906. and the
good man who preached the dedication
sermon described il as a work Of stu
pendous magnitude. 1t is not. however.
the building which attracts us, but its
belongings. Here we see the old PRAYER
book, with the prayer for the president
pasted over that for the king; the
Vinegar" Bible. Of which only 40
copies were printed, and but five Of
which are in the United States. The
bell which calls the parish to prayers is
a capture from Louisburg, and. although
twice recast. once by Paul Revere, since
its voice was heard in its foreign home,
II Is yet the same old bell. An arm
chair. which stands behind the altar
rail was a gift from Queen Caroline,
but is now known as the Washington
chair, having been occupied by the first
president Of the United States when he
attended service III the old church.
Admiral Farragut was buried from
ST. Johns. and the reading table is
made Of wood from his flagship. "A
strange bit of treasure trove is the
heavy porphyry font taken from an old
church IN Portsmouth and captured by
the English from the French of the
coast Of Africa. Every Sunday I2 loaves
OF bread are placed upon this font and
distributed to l2 old women. in accord
with the terms Of one Theodore
Ec~cleston's last will and testament, and
because OF a gift by will the church is
still heated by wood fires.-Nashua IN.

He was Napoleon Sarony. Mrs. Bon
nano's first husband.
When Sarony established his photo
graph gallery in New York. he conceiv-
ed the idea Of advertising his business
by placing in prominent locations sam
pies Of his work. There were profes-
sional beauties and handsome actresses
In those days, just as there are in these
days, but Sarony never found a more
inspiring subject than his own wife,
and he used to delight 10 make pictures
OF her In all sorts Of artistic attitudes
and in all sorts Of garb TO which her
remarkable figure and charming features
best lent themselves. So it came about
that hundreds If not thousands Of pho
tographs were taken of Mrs. Bonnano
before her first husband died. These
photographs extend over a period Of
many years, showing Mrs. Bounano in
the flush of youth and up 70 the maturi-
ty OF her personal charms. They make
a remarkable collection that is highly
priced by members of her family. Not
only was Mrs. Bonnano photographed
often. but her picture was painted and
hundreds Of times. Sarony
himself drew her portrait in charcoal
or crayon at every opportunity. -Phila-

come former irruptions. China is now learning modern warfare, and will soon be as fit to cope with mod ern Europe upon the battlefield as at the time of Attila, Timour, Tam erlane or Genghis Khan. The dom inant race in China-the Tartars- are warlike. When they again feel fitted to try conclusions with Europe, as they will when their hordes are armed and trained in the modern system, there will flow eastward another flood of warlike barbarism which may again, as in the past, change the entire political complex ion of Europe. By dismembering China now Europe would dam up the sources of that flood.

A BILL TO KILL.

Delegate Ferguson of New Mex leo has introduced in congress bill providing for acquiring title to mineral on the various Spanish and Mexican land grants in the west. The bill provides that any one may enter the grant and prospect for mineral, if he finds it he may stake out claim, no limit to the size, pay g.. so per acre and receive ti- tie to all the ground that he thinks he needs. The Lordsburg Liberal says: At first this does look a little tough on the grant owner, but careful inspection of the bill in- dicates that it has joker. Most of the Spanish grants did not convey a title to the mineral, and outsiders have been going after it. If this bill becomes law the owner of grant can have friend find mineral, stake off the entire grant, pay $2. 50 per acre for it, receive a dzed, whereupon the friend can deed the land back to the original owner, who will then own the grant in fee simple. :"
 Outside of the point raised by the Liberal the bill is dangerous and should never become a law. It would operate to unsettle land titles throughout all the territories and put the owners of agricultural land completely at the mercy of pros pectors. Anyone claiming to have found mineral could confscate the land of another, no matter what its value, on payment of f$2. 50 per acre.

NATIONAL DEsroLIArIoN.

The goody, goody Miss Nancies
 all over the world are greatly exer-
 cised with fear that the powers of
 Europe will proceed to dismember
 China and parcel the territory oi
 that great empire among themselves.
 In the United States some of the
 anti-jingoes, who oppose annexation
 of Hawaii and want Spain left free
 to work her own sweet will with
 Cuba, bemoan the apparently in evitable fate of the yellow Colossus,
 and want the United States to go to
 war with united Europe to prevent it.
 When one considers the capers and antics of some of tue ''uncu guid' who are nowadays having so much to say about national des- poliation" and such other rot, there is always forced to the mind an in- quiry as to where such people would be had their doctrines pre- vailed three hundred years ago. Had it been in 1920 the abhorrent crime they so profess to believe it to despoil a savage, barbarous or half civilized people of their terri tory, where would now be the city of Boston, the seat and abiding place of this silly cult. The de- scendants oi King Philip would be yet ranging through the forests by the shores of Massachusetts bay, hunting the wild deer, or fighting their copper colored foes. And the world would have never heard o i the long line of illustrious men born on that soil who have made splen- did the pages of history with the brilliance of their achievements; and the busy cities and common that have sprung up as the fruit of their genius had not yet been.
 In very truth national despoli- ation is the sole and only way in which modern civilization can at- tain further growth. The great, highly civilized nations of the earth | have expanded to the limit of all unoccupied territory, and for fur ther expansion they have got to despoil the territories ot their less advanced neighbors. Never before was the scriptural parable of the talents so applicable to nations as low. No reader of THE OASIS has o be reminded that the foolish serv- ant who hid his talent in a napkin and would not increase it, was de prived of the coin by his master who gave 1t to the faithful servant who had increased his ten talents wo fold. So with the nations of he earth. Caucasian civilization S the faithful servant which hath in- .reased its ten talents.
