The Sign Painters.

The question has been asked Of sign
painters hundreds Of times, (Which
letter Of the alphabet do you consider
the hardest or most difficult to make?"
1t is but natural to make the in
quiry, for to the novice some particu-
lar letters are more perpleXing than
others. 1t is most generally conceded
by some experts that the Roman CAPT
tai letter "R" is the most difficult.
Others will say that an IS" is very
hard to make, and many strongly con-
tend that the character "&" is the
hardest and most difficult of any in
the entire alphabet. Practically speak
ing, all Of these letters are somewhat
difficult, and to the young beginner
they are not easily mastered.
1t has frequently been supposed that
an artist Of ability on account of his
great talent in drawing would of
course naturally make a good sign
painter, but the experiment has been
tried and given up with unsatisfactory
results.
An artist may draw and paint a
most beautiful picture, but when II
comes to forming a perfect letter he is
entirely out of the race. About Al
years ago there were five we'll known
artists of this city who were also ex
perts at lettering, they having learned
and worked at this branch previously

who sacrificed home comforts and

lie not in marble columns erected
over their grassy mounds, nor in
words flung upon signing breeze
to echo on through space, but in
the tablets of the memory Of poster
ity. 1t is just and right TO honor
their memory, to gather together
in the spring time when roses and

dead and word Of cheer to the liv-

How Peary Retrieved Wild Ducks.
Lieutenant r. Il. Peary, the arctic
explorer, was born in Maine. He pre-
pared himself for entering Bowdoin
college at Fryeburg academy in Frye
burg, in the western part of the state.
The following story of Peary's early
days shows his method of overcoming
obstacles:
One of his fellow townsmep while
out hunting one day in November dis
covered flock of ducks in a pond
about two miles from the village. The
man wanted the birds, but knew no
way Of getting them, even if his shot
We're effective, for he had no dog, and
there was no boat in the pond. On his
way home he met Peary and told him
about the ducks and why he had not
fired at them.
Now" said Peary, lets go back to
the pond, and if the ducks are still
there promise to retrieve all you
kill"
They returned to the pond; the ducks
were undisturbed. The weather had
been cold for several days, ice had
formed around the shore Of the pond
and the ducks were punched out in
! open water, but within range. Merrill
| fired and killed two. Without more
ado than if he were about to take 9
dip in the old swimming hole on hot
July day Peary removed his clothing
broke the ice with a heavy stick and
swan out, picked up the dead birds
and brought them to land.-Saturday
