visitors to the city, and travellers have been
seen many times while on the way from the
depot to their hotel on catching sight of the
sign, to drop their grips in the middle of the
street where they stood and stand and stare in
unconcealed amazement at Myrley's work
A few years ago Myrley went to Cincinnati to
pursue his studies in art. His ability surprised
his instructors, and after short course there
he went to New York City to continue his
work. He remained there for about three years.
making rapid advancement all the while. gain
ing quite great deal of favorable recognition
among the local artists of that city.
Continued success crowned his efforts every
where. and with this success the fever of an
ambition to rise to higher levels in the world
of art but burned the more fiercely.

thoughts Of the enthusiastic artist. Before en-
barking to the city of the center of art Myrley
decided to make a visit to his home near Ell
wood.
He did So Shortly after his arrival great
change was noticed in him. Always naturally
reserved and cold unless his full confidence was
gained, he had become more so during his alb
sence from home. He had but little to say, and
was moody and silent, always hard at work on
some painting.
One morning, without word to anyone gfe
packed up few of his belongings and, without
sign1fylng his intentions, he left the house He
was seen by his mother just he turned the
corner, but at her call he only FASTENED his
steps. That was the last seen of LemHel
Myrley for a year.
AT the end of that time he returned as mss-
teriously he had left, saying that he had
been at Paris during his absence, and had sew

to be much benefited in health. and said he
Myrley then expressed his intentions OF
naming at home, and erecting studio the
old farm home. This he Immediately, pro-

with redoubled energy working day and night
before his easel Lemuei MyrIey had but
accomplishment in mind and one thing to live
for-to make his name famous as an artist.
At this time. which was but few months

ago, another change was seen to come over the
young painter. 1t similar to the one pre-
Vious to his mysterious departure from home
but more aggravated. He became recluse,
and locked himself in his studio, refusing to
admit anyone except his mother or to come to
his meals.
Mother, I want to paint your picture You
are growing old and will not always be with
me-"
Mrs. Myrley granted her sons request and
the work on the portrait began The artist
worked as he had never worked before striving
only as artist can to produce a beloved face
1t was a labor of love- born of the deep affec-
ton that existed between mother and son. To
young Myrley it was to mean the worlds rec
ognition so long sought for. 1t was to be his
masterpiece. He put all his soul and energy
IN the work, and under the skillful rnanipula-
ton of his brush the portrait speedily grew. But
the features that appeared on the canvas at
the touch of his brush did not satisfy him. He
became Yexed his failure, and destroyed
his work that he might begin anew. No better
success greeted his second efforts. Myrley ap-
piled himself closer than ever to his task. He
locked himself in his studio, and worked day
and night upon the canvas. making alteration
after alteration but meeting with no better
success. Then he began over again but he
could not get likeness that would suit him.
Myrley began to despair of ever being able to
paint a perfect likeness Of his mother but he
continued trying, but always with the same re-
suits. Finally his task began to appear to him
as hopeless and he fretted and worried over
his failure
At last Myrley's actions told his mother that
his reason was gone, but Mrs. Myrley kept this
knowledge from the other members Of her fam
lily long she could. One day she was
sitting in his studio her son turned upon her
and said:
Mother, some has stolen your beauty
and my mind. That's why can't paint your
picture. I'm going to kill him." and, rushing to

the room and slammed the door just her

From this time Myriey's mental condition
grew worse and worse, until he feared by
all the members of the family when he was
in one of his fits of mania. His disordered
brain conceived the idea that someone was try

Gyrley. His continued success and rapid adj
vancement in his art watched by his
friends with the keenest interest, and a bril-
liant future with q national reputation gained
was predicted for the rising young artist.
But suddenly there came a cloud-the cloud
of bllghted mentality-and Lem" Myrley be-
came en- inmate CT a madhouse.
From bahyhood the prophecy was made that

be done to relieve the unfortunate young man.

day he would become great artist. It
was with this end in view that Myrley worked
assiduously with his brush and palette.
1t is related that when but a few months old

were laid in before the baby, and from
these numerous articles he was permitted to
take his choice. The innocent babe. not know

was echoed by the mother and all the mem

True to this prediction, as the baby adj
vanced in years his ability artist rap

when he had a pencil in his hands AS each
day passed his desire to make name for him
self in the world Of art became stronger and
stronger.
Young Myrley. however, was forced to curb
his ambitions to some extent and content him
self with what he found in his country home
and the surrounding vicinity. He painted and
sketched every fence post farm house and barn
yard for miles around. He depicted canvas
true hkenesses of all his relatives and friends
Then he felt that his home held more for
him and his beloved art. and that If he to
make fame and fortune for himself he must
seek other fields. Mryley told his mother, for
whom he had the deepest affection, Of his In
tentions, and that he must leave home for the
sake OF his art.
Mrs. Myrley objected however, saying that
she could not give up Lem who was her
faVorite son. At Ter solicitations he consented
to defer his departure indefinitely and remain
at home. 1t was at this time that Myrley turned

COUNTRY MAN .

We are tired of sending crop
reports. Every body at work In
fact there is no news to write.
A visit to the Enterprise office
last week and seeing familiar faces
that we have in years gone by been
intimately and pleasantly associated
with caused us to look back and
reflect on the past when the Enter

oh my what about it now? Well,
there is Just too much for a country
reporter to undertake to tell about.
She is in the front, up-to-date, but
not a bit stuck-up. While your re-
porter got his part of the Dukes

been promoted from office boy to
a grand and very desirable position,
pulling a bell chord over a mules

his store bought clothes for 40 cent
ducks, yet IL is a Ource of
great pleasure for them to give us
the same old hearty hand-shake as
they did in the days gone by and
welcome us As a friend.
This perhaps will not be much
news to the many readers Of the
grand old Enterprise, but 1t is n

our feelings to its management.
