are visibly pronounced the traits of
physical and intellectual manhood
which make him respected even by
those who do not love him politically.
To the eye Of Sargent, so extraordinar-
lily keen in summarizing the tout en-
semble of a personality, to the exclu-
sion sometimes not even of its weak
nesses, the character in this one
would appeal irresistibly. Indeed,
from its virility his own virile and
masterful manner would receive more
than ordinary inspiration. AS a con-
sequence this portrait, so far as one
can judge from the reproduction, will
rank among the artists most spirited
and spontaneously forceful works.
And is it not an example of his intui-
ton and tactfulness in imagining a
picture. that he should have set the
figure in dark silhouette against a
light background? Instead of bring
ing them nearer together in some
more obvious tonal arrangement, he
has by contrast secured for the figure
additional insistence and authority
Equally suggestive of his tact is the
entire absence of any exaggeration in
the force of the picture. 1t is great

TAKES AN AMERICAN TO PAINT
THE PRESIDENT.
Roosevelt's Characteristics Brought
Out in Sargent's Work.

Mr.. Sargents present visit to this
country is doubly signalized. He has
installed a great decoration in the
Boston public library and has painted
the portrait of the president.
One has detected of late some rum
bles of dissatisfaction that the highest
official recognition in the land should
have been given to a foreign portrait
painter and I have heard some eX-
IRENE patriots declare, not very rea-
sonably perhaps, that no president
should permit himself to be painted
by any but an American. In the
present case, however, Mr.. Roosevelt
has satisfied every one. He has been
painted by one who is not only an
American, but the most brilliant of
living portrait painters, and the re-
suit is a picture of magnificent dis
tinctiOn.
The conjunction of artist and sub
ject on this occasion was more than
usually fortunate. Mr.. Roosevelt's eX-
terror is singularly indicative of his
character. In the square erectness of
his pose-the figure, if you notice,
firmly planted on both feet-in the

BIG CONSCIENCE FUND
CONTRIBUTIONS IN 1902 WERE
s35,ses.22, WHICH is VERY HIGH.
CANCELLED STAMPS USED
But Years Afterward Four Times the
Amount was Returned-One Man
Alone Sends $4,000 and Another
S8oo0-Fifty to Seventy-five Sums
Come Each Year.

Uncle Sans conscience fund" is
growing rapidly these days. Nearly
$500 was added to it last week. and
if the average Of the past two months
be kept up through the coming ten,
last years high-water mark will be
topped.
From fifty to seventy-fve contribu-
tons are received every year from
person who have defrauded the gov
eminent and want to make reparation.
The contributions range from a two
cent stamp to thousands of dollars,
and they come from children and gray
haired men and women
The government guards the fund
most carefully. No prosecution is
ever based on the remittance from a
person with a troubled conscience
and the names of the senders are
never made public.
Not many Of the letters sent with
money are signed, but there are often
cases where the identity of the send
ers could be easily established, but
there is no effort to trace them. The
government is content to get the
money. Most of the letters are signed
conscience" and the writing is often
disguised. Each contribution is &C
knowledged by bulletin posted in the
secretary's office, giving the amount
and the place it came from.
The largest additions to the fund
come from business men who have
given undervaluations in importing
goods and cheated the government out
of duties and have since experienced
a change Of heart. Many contribu-
lions are received from women in pay
ment Of duty on articles smuggled in
to the country. The small sums are
usually for stamps that were used
twice.
The following letter was received
from a Baltimore woman on Feb. 16:
Enclosed find $40 American money
which should have been paid at the
New York custom house"
This one came in a few days ago
from a woman in Santa Ana, Cal:
UNITED States Conscience Fund:
When I was a very young girl I once
used a twO-cent stamp which had been
cancelled. l did not realize the sin
then, and did not know of the con-
science fund until a year or two ago.
l am sorry l did it, but God has re-
vealed my duty to me, so l send the
inclosed stamps, eight cents"
A New York man sent four $500
bills to the fund this week by open
mail With the money was this note:
Enclosed please find $500 conscience
money"
The largest contribution ever re-
ceived was a draft for $4,000 sent by
a minister in England. He said the
money was given to him to send by
man who was converted in his church.
The most peculiar contribution
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1903-04-23

ever received was a draft for $4,000
sent by a minister in England. He
said the money was given to him to
send by man who was converted in
his church.
The most peculiar contribution
came from a man who cut a pile of
$4,000 in bills squarely in halves. He
sent one-half. and said if that were
acknowledged he would forward the
other. He evidently feared that the
money might not reach the proper
authority. The receipt of the first
half of the bisected currency was
acknowledged and the other half was
received a few days later.
The following shows the total addi
tons to the conscience fund in recent
years: 1902, s35,S6S22; 1901,
s2,263.30; 1900, s3,S16.22; 1899. S.

STREET CAR COURTESY.

We are sorry to say that in the
matter of unfailing courtesy to
women, the south seems to have been
affected and to have deteriorated
somewhat of late years. But if any
change for the worse has taken place
in New York, present conditions
must be bad, indeed. Filteen years
ago toil-women, exhausted women,
laden with heavy parcels or baskets,
swayed YEARLY in the aisles for mile
after mile, while well-fed, prosperous
middle-aged and young men took up
more than their share of the seats
of the New York IL" and surface
cars.
Nothing Of that kind could be wit
messed in a southern street car, even
now, when the old chivalric reverence
of the sex has lost some of its polish.
But there is no telling where any
custom once started will end, and We
are, therefore, glad that the matter
has reached the point of discussion
and protest at the north. 1t is best,
under any circumstances, to have bad
examples done away with.-Augusta
(Ga.) Chronicle.
