A well known rector of an east end
church was approached one day by a
lady who said she desired to rent a
seat In a row nearest the door of his
church. The rector responded that the
seats in that row We're all free and that
she was at liberty to occupy any one of
them, but she persisted, saying that
she desired to have it for her own.
Being somewhat curious us to her
reasons, the clerical gentleman said,
But, madam, tell me why you wish to
sit so far back?"
After some hesltancy she responded
that she simply couldn't bear to have
any one "sit behind her"
yet you will be sitting behind 9TH
ers, who perhaps feel the same way"
said the rector laughingly.
"That may be-" replied the devout
lady earnestly, "but you know l have

COUNTERFEIT ART.

Americana Are Easily SwindIed on
Pictures by "Old Masters"
There will doubtless never come a
time in the history of the art world
when the discovery of ''old masters"
will cease, certainly not as long as
American picture buyers possess the
almighty dollar and are willing to be
swindled.
Nearly every week in New York for
the last year there have been auction
sales of rare old masters" Some of
them are rare, indeed; one that was
shown at the Macbeth gallery and also
in Detroit some time ago, supposed to
be a study of an old man by Rubens,
the left hand of which was nearly
twice the size of its mate, and the term
rare" did certainly apply very aptly
to the flesh tints.
Do people ever stop to think how
many of these "old masters" there are
in existence? Any one may have an
"old MASTER these days who has the
price to pay the dealer to find one or
so abroad and get one 'made.'" There
are many artists in Paris and else
where who make good living, or
what they consider good living, copy
ing "old masteran in the various gal.
leries to sell to dealers for little or
nothing, and they in turn bring them
to America and clear hundreds by sell
ing them to some moneyed art lover
who In some cases Is doubtless in the
possession Of more money than judg-
ment in art matters.
One well known New York art col
lector some time ago paid a large sum
for a certain painting that an enter
prising dealer had discovered" and
who represented it to him as very rare
and the only one in existence. The
same gentleman while on recent tour
through Spain was shown the original
painting upon the walls of u certain
monastery. The sequel of the story
does not say what he did with the
dealer If there be a hereafter for these
discoveries of "old masters" their con
sciences, which seem very elastic, will
have to do deal of rubbering to get
back to the required shape to fit them
for their celestial abiding places or to
meet the frowns of the shades of de-
parted masters Observation-Disclosures

SAME IN OTHER STATES.

Friends of Former Governor James E. Campbell, of Ohio, have been shocked to learn of his recent misfor- tunes. A few years ago he was one of the leading Democratic politicians of the country. and at one time was a strong possibility for the party nomi- nation for president, says the Arkan- sas Democrat. He has not been sue cessful. and several times undertook to promote industrial enterprises in connection wit his law business. It is related that some time ago he had long attack of illness, his busi- ness was ruined and he has since been in straitened circumstances. A close personal friend says that the former governor has at times been reueded to the necessity of walking up and down town to and from his office to save car fare. He has no ex- Densire habits and has lived in most economical fashion in brave struggle to make a new start in life. His friends say he has been uneomplain= ing. and few of his associates have known of his financial difficulties. The case of Campbell recalls to for mar residents of Ohio the hard luck that has followed some other former governors and prominent politicians of that state. Charles Foster, who was governor. and afterwards secre- tary of the treasury, some time ago met with business reYerses that left him in reduced circumstances. Former Governor Bishop. of Ohio, who was once as prominent in the politics of the state as Foster or Campbell, also suffered the loss of his fortune, and after he went out of office he worked for several years as travelling sales man for a Cincinnati firm. If a rec ord of the condition of office-holders at the expiration of their terms were attainable it would surprise the pulp lie. The case of Governor Campbell is by no means an exception.

To Reduce Time.

By trackage arrangement with the Iron Mountain, the Cotton Belt is now running trains into tl4 Union Station at St. Louis direct from Fort Worth. l here is now a double daily service be- tween Texas points and that city. The Cotton Belt proposes to reduce tde present schedule of thirty hours to St Louis at least six hours. This will be done soon, as the rails on the Texas division have been purchased and will soon be delivered. The line througa Arkansas is nearly all laid with the heavy rails, and is said to be in excel lent condition.
