always wanted to be an ar
fist, and I came to be one this way:
My father owned q general store in
Williamsburg. Ind. You know what a
general store is. He kept everything
and sold to farmers and village peo-
PIE.
When I was about sixteen he went
up to indianapolis and started the
largest shoe store in that city. One
part Of it was separated from the
rest and devoted to ladies. 1t was
carpeted. 1t WAS the first ladies' shoe
store in the West. One day my father
came 10 me and said: William, you
have spoiled wrapping paper enough
here. Put on your hat and come with
me. I'm going to take you up to
Hays"
On our way 20 the artists rooms he
explained to me regretfully how sorry
he felt that his endeavors to make a
business man OF me had failed; that he
hadn't much hope or faith in my art
predictions, but was willing to give
me a chance, and he thought that a
studio was a better place for that
chance than a shoe store, and thus I
began my studies with B. F. Hays. the
artist, in his studio next to the old
Postoffice.
Mr. Hays set me to work copying

JERMYN AND MAYFIELD.

It seems possible that Lake Chap
man, more Familiarity known as Scull
pond, will before many years become
popular summer resort. 1t has aDl
the natural advantages that go 10
make an attractive resort, and had the
land owners in the vicinity realized
the charms Of this beautiful stretch of
water and shown a little progressive
spirit there is not the slightest doubt
that it shores would have been long
ago dotted with summer cottages and
Lake Chapman would be today as well
known as Crystal Lake and other
place. Last year Il. j. Lee made a
move in the riSht direction by placing
a covered dancing pavilion on the
shore. This proved a great attraction
to a large number of young people
from this borough and surrounding
towns and was the means of drawing
many large picnic parties there. Other
land owners in the neighborhood have
apparently awakened to the possibiIi-
ties OF making the lake an attractive
spot and DR.. S, ID. Davis and j. Mel
son Graves, who are joint owners of
about fifty acres on the Jermyn or
east side of the lake are contemplate
ing large number of improvements
for that purpose. In the spring they

"Nettie May" which they will place
upon the lake. Some well known gem
tlemen are also talking of erecting cot
tages on the shore and II seems prob
able that before long Lake Chapman
will be familiar and favorite resort.

The rain and sleet storm of Friday
night has made things miserable for
man and beast. Everything outdoors
is covered with an icy coating. Pedes-
TRANS prefer the streets to the smooth
ice-coated walks, Many a hard fan has
been sustained by those who venture
out. Several accidents of a severe ma
ture have resulted. On Saturday the
carrier boys were seen lifting about
delivering their papers skating from
house To house. Many youngsters, taxi
ing advantage of the ice-cOvered walks
and roadway, were seen skating up and
down the streets Saturday evening,
The light fall of snow yesterday, in
stead of improving the conditions, had
tendency to make them worse.

pies a warmer place in his heart than
Mr.. Henry Miller, who will be at the
Lyceum Thursday evening, Feb. g. to
again present that delightful romantic
comedy which gave such great salts
faction here last season. That astutc
manager has been credited with saying
he has looked into the future and be-
lieves the day will come when the pub
lie of America will receive Henry Mil
Ter as the legitimate successor of Ed
win Booth. No matter whether or not
any one agrees with Mr.. Frohman in
this prophecy, the work done by Mr..
Miller last season in "Heartsease" ad-
mits of no dispute i'm placing him
among the most fOrceful and cultured
of our emotional actors of today. 1t
is promised that for the coming pre-

tire New York production and an un-
ually competent company will be seen.
