The Raphaeiite Master
Dante Roseett /.

And while Hunt was Rossetti,s
pupil, he excelled him in religious
force as well as light and color. Ros-
ettfs spirituality was of more
mystic and Psychologist type, and
though he seemed to master color
thoroughly az intuilively, his effects
were opalescent and iluminative.
while Hunts coloring was like Tur-
ner's and Claude'e, "a matter of pure
sunshi ne.u
In many matters of technique Ros-
ETH was always defective. He made
strenuous efforts to correct his faults,
but his mannerisms we're as pro-
nounced as those of the early artists
whose projections only he desired to
follow. His painting was like his
poetry, however, and the vivid
haunting impression never mis-
carried. AS there is no other poet so
fully alive to the inmost essence of
beauty, so there Ia no other painter
who has conveyed the exotic, perish
able loyeliness OF human spirit in con-
tact with the mysteries of Nature
and of life.
One Of his guiding elements was his
great love of Dante, and from the
early "Beata Beatrix" to the "Dante's
Dream" OF his maturity, the world of
the Italian epic enwrapped him in it's
atmosphere. He carried out some
large designs of splendid imaginative
power, but the greater part of his later
work was confined to the half. length
conceptions of feminine character
which he executed so.easily that he
thus gained the time he coveted for
his poetical creations. Of these
pictures "PToserpine" and pandora"
are especially characteristic and in
defining the mission of Rosetti we
cannot do better that to quote two
admirable critics and judges. First,
as the poet, because poetry is the basis
of all fine art, in the words of Theo-
dore Watts: "In all matters of taste
RossettPs influence has been inn.
mense. 1t is doubtful whether any
other Victorian poet has left 80 deep
an impression upon the poetic me-
thods of his time" And second, as
the artist, in Ruskin's beautiful ulti-
matum, 81 believe his name should be
placed first on the list of men, within
my own range of knowledge, who
have raised and changed the spirit of
modern Art, raised, in absolute at
tsinments, changed, in direction of
temper"
He also exerted a great influence,
dirtc ~ and indirectly. upon the art
of decoration, and com bining his work
and that of his school with the &C.
complement of the water-coloriste,
the English school of the present faces
future of the richest promise. The
national spirit has come to the point
of grasping the universal.

FOUGHT THE POLICEMAN
Hooker SHAPED has a Hard
Fight With two DRINKS
and the HOnOrS Even

At O'Clock last Friday Policeman
SHAPED was making the north side
when he saw two drunk men teasing
acme small boys and trying to get
them to fight. He ordered the men to
move on and when they refused arrest
lead them to the city hall one OF the
men struck him in the face. SHAPED
then raped the fellow over the head
with his club, breaking it near the
handle 1.-THE club, that is Thus dis
armed he was pummelled by the two
men while fifteen or twenty men
stood by and offered no assistance.
SHAPED got away and reported the af-
fair but he was not acquainted with
the men. Half an hour later man
whose face was one smear of blood
was seen on the south side of the
square making his way drunkenly
down the street. New officers had
been sworn i'm and the man was ar.
rested, identified by SHAPED and
ocked up. The mark of the club
vas very much in evidence on his
head and he had bled profusely. He
admitted being drunk, said he fell
down, and pretended not to know
why he was arrested, but he was
locked up quickly His name is Coddy
and he has been laying brick at the
Cement lplant. The next mOrniugsthe
police arrested the other man, also a
mason, and "A state warrant for resist
ing an officer will be made out for him.
Mr. Shspel's face was SCARED up
somewhat but he will be all right in
a few days.
The attention of the police having
been called to the fact that it was
pay day and that there were great
many DRINKS, extra officers were put
on and within half an hour five
DRINKS were locked in the city Gala
boOse and ten times that number be-
came quieter on the streets. While
tie police were on the north side they
heard yelling in the rear Of Jim
Mills place and went to investigate.
One drunk, it seems, had pushed an
other as he stood in the door, and the
pushed drunk fell to the ground yell
ling that he was being killed. The
officers scattered the crowd and closed
the place, yanking the proprietor
Mills and an assistant or two to the
police court. Two arrests and raids
of this particular joint within the
past two months seems to have been
too mild lesson and 1t was running
again at full blast Mills and
his newest bartender, named James
Cattle, were fined 800 by judge Gard
and they will pay or go to- Jail.

prominent feature OF the order. Aside
from its social feature, the Order is a
purely charitable organization, diff.
fering from other benevolent orders
in the fact that its aims are done in
secret, the members being pl dyed by
their obligation TO never reveal the
name of the needy brother to wi ON
charity is extended. In this quiet and
unostentatious way the Order expends
large sums annually to relieve distress
and to bring comfort and aid to those
overtaken by misfortune.
Charity, Justice, Brotherly Love
and Fidelity are the watchwords of
the order. There are nc ranks, titles or
emoluments connected with it, and
no one can become "a mem Der who is
not believer in Supreme Being
and who has not some honorable oc-
cupatlon or visible means of support.
In every city where a lodge has
been instituted the Order stands high
and the brightest lights OF the world

have been glad to be known as men,
bers of it's. The lola Lodge can be
counted upon to maintain this good
reputation.

The older residents of lola are IA
miliar with Mr.. Otten's struggle
from poverty to comparative af1iuence
here. When he first arrived he had
just lost all his worldly goods by
fire and several sick children made
his first year here hard struggle.
When the family was out of danger,
the sturdy German secured sack of
flour and began the up. hill march
which ended this week in death. He
left an estate worth close to 500, 900.
With one sack of flour he baked
bread, and 1t was good bread, ami
from then to the present day Otten's
bakery has supplied the tables of lola
people uninterruptedly. AS prosper
ity came he moved into more pre-
tentious quarters and enlarged his
business, and about ten years ago he
built the twO-story brick business
house where the business is now car
ried on. He gradually turned the
work over to his sons and for year
or two he quietly and happily
on his suburban farm southwest OF
the city. Mr., Often was quiet, UNI

honest and energetic and he
numbered among his friends nearly
all the older population of the

model for such a gown has the skirt to the knees
