NEW METHOD FOR ARTISTS.
Being Used at Paris TO

Artist Bechard, Of Paris, pupil
land friend of Cabanel. has discovered
b method by which he can reproduce
amy subject by photography on paint

the art of painting reproductions. No

Rsause the canvas is coated with

>tss the necessity of spending months
in work on the original outline is OBJ
waited, as the shading is faithfully re-
produced with the outline by the
camera, and only the colors have to be
filed in. The reproduction of a paint
ing like, for example, lie Poete," in
the Luxembourg, could not be finished
In less than four weeks by an artist
of average talent. But by photograph
ing the picture on canvas and after
ward painting in the colors, the whole
can be completed in eight days, and
1t is claimed, in equally good style.

Not long ago a setting Of Ben

there came letter from a woman
who had been a singer in light opera,
but who quit the stage because she
could make better living populariz-

phonograph, She wrote frQn a small
New York town, addressing the let

1t read;
Dear Sir: For five dollars | will
include your song Drink to Me Only
with Thine Eyes in my new cata-
logue of phonograph records. and
will also send you Il record of the

The letter was answered in this
strain:

case he would not sanction this ex-

KISSES TOE Or STATUE.
Peculiar Actions Of Man at Figure of
Washington on Subtreasury
steps In New York City.

A middle aged, black mustached man
wearing frock coat and II silk hat
walked down Wall street the other day
until he sighted the statue of George
Washington on the subtreasury steps.
There he stopped and hauled himself
up to the base. Then he reverently
removed his hat and, kneeling down,
kissed George Washington's toe. This
he did thrice while big crowd
cheered. He started to make speech,
but could not be heard for the ap-
plause. The same man has made a
disturbance in Wall street on other
occasions recently. He tells people
that his name is Belden and that he
was formerly high officer of the
Northern Pacific Railroad company.

and the depredating Indian, saying to
the former. You must look to Uncle

it practically valueless to the Black Hills

the courts hold that an Indian, or sew

to steal a settlers horse are hostile, the
settler must simply pocket his loss and
