YANKEE DOODLE"
A SHORT SKETCH OF THIS
FAMOUS PAINTING.

How. After Many Unsuccessful Attempts
Mr.. Willard Formulated the Leading
Ideas of the Creation-A Pen Picture OF
the Central figures-Their True Iden-
tity.
One OF the most familiar pictures ia
! America, and one that has done as much
as any Ohrr to kindle patriotism is "Yan-
kee Doodle, "Or The SpiritOf '76." This
picture was first seen in the art depart-
ment OF The Philadelphia centennial in
1876, and provoked The praise of the
Whole nation and Of foreign critics as
well. The artist who painted this picture
was Archibald NJ. Willard OF Cleveland.
Success for July gives an interesting
sketch OF Mr. Willard and the genesis of
his painting. Mr.. Willard was fortunate
In having as friend Mr.. Joseph F. Ry-
der, photographer of Cleveland, who
had keen artistic instinct. Mr.. Ryder
greatly encouraged him by helping him
to sell many Of his patriotic and humer-
GUS sketches to old soldiers throughout
the west, and it was he who suggested
Yankee Doodle" The story as Success
gives 1t runs as follows:
The centennial year was drawing near.
Mr. Ryder suggested picture which
would embOdy The Spirit of 49, and
Willard set about making humorous
picture. He made sketch after sketch.
to no purpose.
From the first, he singled out the
musicians as the central figures, and had
determined ON three of them. His father
was an old man and had appeared in one
form or another in a good many of his
pictures, as in Pitching the Tune, and
had posed as one Of the drummers. The
other drummer was Harry Devereux, a
lad from military academy. The ffer
was well-knOwn character in Yelling
ton, Hugh Mosher, man Of great artis-
tie possibilities whom Mr.. Ryder often
photographed in many attitudes.
While Willard was at work, his father
was taken sick, and after lingering ILL
ness died. During his illness, caring for
him much by day and night, Willard
struggled to finish his picture.
zone day there came an inspiration.
He had been working with noble models.
He had really noble theme. To make
merely humorous picture was unworthy
his ambition. From the sublime to the
ridiculous was easy; he would leap from
the ridiculous to the sublime. He would
change these rustic soldiers from the pa

rade ground to the battlefield, and make

rade ground to the battlefield, and make
his picture one Of noble patriotism.
HE made another sketch and with
wonderful effect. From this time the
work became absorbing. He was at his
masterpiece. The plan took shape in his
mind, and transferred itself to canvas.
In the background is the broken line that
has been pressed back by the enemy. But
in the foreground are three figures, faith
or, son, and grandson, though Mr.. Will
ard did not think of this relation till the
picture was nearly finished. These, with
steady strides are marching ahead. They

FORTY THIRD FAIR
HELD AT THE FAIR GROUNDS
LAST WEEK.

An Unusually Larse Attendance Despite
the Occasional ShOwers-Thoueh the
Track was Heavy, the Horse and BIZ
cyle Races were Closely Contested-Tbe
Other Entries Good.
The fOrty-third annual fair of the
wellington Union Agricultural Society
was held last Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday. The weather proved to be un-
favorable the second day, but in spite of
this there was a surprisingly good attend
ance. On Friday, the last day, it was
estimated that between 25OO and 27OO
people were in attendance and the gate
receipts on that day alone were nearly
$500. The financial outlook for the as
ISOLATION is very encouraging, even
much more than was expected on ac-
count Of the inclemency of the weather.
The entries were not quite as numer
Gus as in former years, but the condition
OF the stock and quality of all material
were far above the average.
The floral hall was very artistically
arranged with the articles brought by
numerous firms for exhibition which re-
hected great credit upon the manage
ment.
The merchants hall was occupied by
}. NJ. Otterbacher with fine display; ".
E. Peirce wi h samples of stoves and
DR.. K. G. Holland with his Medicatpd
Salt. The east side of the hall was filled
with fine line Of all kinds Of vegetables.
The band boys furnished some fine
music during both days.
The fair is considered by the associa-
ton as financial success and had the
weather been good on the second day,
the proceeds would have been a great
deal larger.

the supply will be ample and the price in
the western markets will probably be
about sixty cents. This is not quite so
good price as the consumer can afford,
but the farmer can make profit even at
that price. When the price Of wheat gets

the wages of the consumers in the city
need a raise to suit the new conditions.

Avshsd a Panic When Christmas Tree Took Fire
Curing Services In Church.

Peoria, Ill. Dec. 2S.--During the
Christmas exercises in the German
Methodist Episcopal church, Peltin,
ILL.,, the large tree. loaded with gifts
and lighted by hundreds of candles
caught fire and blazed up fiercely. The
church was packed to the doors and
women screamed and several tainted,
when the pastor. Rev. VIM. II. Trae-
ger commanded the audience to be
seated. He said the emergency of fire
had been provided for and that there
was no danger If everyone kept STILL,
then he directed the organist to play
up loud and strong and ordered the
choir to sing loud. The cool attitude of
the pastor restored confidence and the
people sank back into their seats. Mean
while, as the fire rolled and cracked
the music became louder. the pastor
flicked burning embers from the tree
that alghted upon his hymn book, to
the floor and stepped upon them. at
the same time singing at the top of his
voice. The fire brigade improvised for
service i'm case fire should break out
threw wet tarpaulin over the tree and
the fire was stamped out. Then. despite
the fact that the church was filled with
smoke the exercises proceeded minus
the gifts. but with plenty of music.
