very necessity. He had to learn
k1EFfTrN to stalk and snare to trap and

clothing. Savage man has also
been compelled to exist under much the
same stressful conditions, although a rudi-
mentary knowledge of agricultural posi-
bilites has in measure ameliorated his
situation in this regard. Among other
blessings that come with civilization is the
condition which makes II possible for man
to live and not pursue the chase as a means
of living. But civilization is only a veneer
after all, and in mans breast still linger
certain of his old savage impulses, emo
tlons and desires not shaken off when he
stood upright to walk and shed his tail
Among these primal instincts that of hunt
ing is probably first. At least It is more
general in its manifestation Everybody
has at one time or another felt the i'm
pulse to go forth and slay something; to
take a gun and tramp woods or stubblc
fields; to hide among reeds and fens, and
to take the life of any bird or beast un-
fortunate enough to come within purview
OF gun or other instrument OF destruction.
Civilization clrcumscribes mans destruc
tive tendencies in this as in other drec-
tIons, and legislation, born OF greater or
less wisdom, has hedged about the beasts
of the field, the birds Of the air and the
fishes that are in the waters under the
earth with such provisions as tend in a
measure at least to restrict the slaughter
and thus preserve them in n little security
OF life. Open season is the time for the
hunter, and 1t Is no longer mere slaughter
but the highest development OF the instinct
of woodcraft that enables him to crafty his
propensities in the way of killing game.

work, prior to the exhibition of his "Holy

foundation Of his fame had been laid long
before For many years he has made his
home in England, although he comes often
to America, and still has a warm attach
ment for his native country. His selection
to paint the important coronation picture
was as much OF a surprise as an honor. for
he had no notion that he was even being

sented to the king prior to the time whog
he was summoned to receive from his mafW

Nature is after all the great artist, and
her most worthy imtator has never quite
equaled the beauty of her work No
where is nature more lavish with her dec
orations than among the hills and gades
along the western rivers. Here in SPRING
time and in autumn she spreads a wealth of
color, rich and rotous, but blended with a
harmony that seems defiant of rules but is
pleasing in result beyond ordinary express
sion. Two autumn scenes in Iowa pastures
are reproduced this week. Only the outline
of the landscape can be given in the half
tone, but the imagination can supply the
rich tints of the goldenrod, the deep green
of the grassy slopes, the tender browns and
reds of the autumn foliage the haZy blue
of the Indian summer heavens and the
wondrous blending of light and shade that
comes from the mountains of feecy clouds
floating lazily through the soft October air
Poet and painter alike despair when viewing
such scenes. Only when photography is
perfected to the point where color as well
as figure may be preserved by snapshot
Will nature be accurately taken when
decked in her fnery. \
