OF the first-named master, Rousseau,
there is much to be said. for he was one
of the original settlers in Barbizon, and
his love for nature and the marvellous
fidelity with which he could impart the
same to canvas won him the name which
will go down in history. He was called

Beethoven Of art. the Shakespeare of the
brush and many other appellations, which
only partially convey the fact that his
hand was gifted with an execution GER
tainly marvellous.
Rousseau painted nature in all her va
riety-mountain and valley, gay and
somber, but always nature. Perhaps his
most priced work and that in which he
has never had a rival is the treatment of
the oaks. The forest of Fontainebleau.
which he loved as only native of France
can love her woods. was immortalized by
his brush and to-day it is known there
as Rousseaus Forest, and several par
ticularly grand old trees standing on the
outskirts of the village are pointed out
to curious tourists as the Rousseau oaks.
But like all great souls who have helped
to make the worlds history Rousseau
had his hardships and his struggles. Born
in 1872 he worked, studied and exhibited
his efforts only to be laughed at and ig-
nored until the year 1855. when he began
to receive faint commentator. Ten years
later the world began to wake to his real
worth and to pay the homage due a great
master, but ne did not live to enjoy his

Special to The Kansas City Times.
Chillicotbe, Mo-, Oct. THE
Chillicothe Constitution pub
fishes tonight the following
from Jefferson City:
Charles E. Morris, the ex
pert accountant sent to Jetfer-
son City by a prominent New
York City bureau of expert
book keepers and clerical ac-
countants, has finished his work
of examining the records and
papers in the department of the
Missouri state auditor and his
report is now being typewriter
in the New York office Of his
company and will be returned
and filed with Auditor Albert
O. Allen within few days.
1.-The report will account for
every cent expended in every
state fund or for any purpose
whatsoever during the past
thirty years. In conversation
with a staff representative of
the Constitution at Jefferson
City Saturday Expert Morris
said:
" L leave for other fields of
labor tonight. 1 finished my

but you will please not mention

asked who employed him,
Expert Morris said he did not
know. He simply received or
ders from New York headquar'
ters to report at the Missouri
state house for duty. His firm
never tells its men any details.
