did equipment that they would appeal

follow to victory with glad hearts, or to
defeat if need be, without blush of
shame. 1t was not a scramble for
Office. every republican knows that the
odds are against the election of any of
his fellow partisans, and all recognized
that one way to overcome the odds was
by nominating men of such superior
ability that the people of the county
could not fail to recognize it.

A COWORKER IN ART.
Effort to Be Made by Wonan's Club
of New York Cityt to Elevate >tahd-
ard of Artists Models.

The pioneers Of the womens club
which is called the Art Workers for
Women" announce that they are club
bing for socia bility's sake. That there
could be a woman's club witho at a more
definite purpose than this was incred-
i We. Investigation proved that this
purpose was not socia bi!ity. but the
protection Of the artists model.
The new club had its origin at the
Art Students league, New York city.
1t purposes to lift the woman mode!
from her present indefinite social status
and raise her, first, to the level Of CO.
worker In art; second, to the position
Of a social equal.
The model, say these earnest young
reformers, has never received her due.
While beautiful model is indispensa-
BILE to a beautiful picture, the artist
alone receives the ere dit for the finished
work. The model as a coworkec is a
new idea, which it Is to be the mission
of the club to sustain.
Another purpose of the club is to ac-
custom artists and models to meet and
drink tea together and discuss art. The
models so far have not manifested any
enthusiasm.

The writer IN the LaMoure Chronicle

Is paid regularly, and it is strange how
such erroneous reports obtain ciccu-
latlon.
1t is true that his former prosperity is
DOW only memory, but it is simple
justice to add that had Mr.. Thureby not
spent money so lavishly in aiding these

to be called his friends, be might still be

If the writer Of the above mentioned

crosses the laws Of hospitality in now
commenting so severely on his former

edge gained while one is guest ID order
