PAID THOUSANDS FOR A BOOK.
Illustrations of the Book of Job at
Auction.

In London single book was sold
the other day at auction for $4,000.
1t was William Blake's book of Illus
trations of the Book of Job, and was
purchased by Mr.. Quaritch of Picadil-
~ The book is published by Blake
himself in 1926. 1t is in fine condi-
ton; a red morocco bound volume,
measuring II inches by 131a; is gilt
edged, and contains twenty-one orig
inal drawings in color-the color being
mostly faint blue, green, pink and oc-
casionally yellow, and twenty-five en-
cravings by the author himself The
engravings are much smaller than the
drawings but have more detail, and
are embellished With scrolls and texts.
The first colored drawing is that of
Blake "by himself and the next is
illustrative of Job and his family in
prayer On the disc of the setting sun
is inscribed Our Father, which are in
heaven" The engraving adds the
text, Thus did Job continually"
The next family colored drawing
represents Satan going to and fro on
the earth, and walking up and down
on it, Yet another represents Satan
going forth from the presence of the
Lord" and darting down to earth;
Job, his wife, and the three comfort
ers, EliphaZ, the Temanite, Bildad, the
Shuttle, and Zophar, the Naamanite,
crouched together below. Satan, as a

of Job in the next drawing, shifting
him with arrows. The engraving adds
the words of Job, Let the day perish

One of the most notable drawings,
perhaps, is that of Jobs dream, with
Satan transformed into an angel OF
light appearing over the. patriarch's
bed as beneficent white-headed and
bearded being, but with cloven hoofs.

Madison, May 4.-The committee on
final adjournment. 1t was the opinion
that adjournment could hardly be
taken before May %. Governor La
Toilette sent to the senate two veto
messages-one of the Milwaukee
police pension increase bill and one of
the North traction engine bill. The
governor is opposed to the pension
bill for the reason that it sought to
double the amount of money the city
of Milwaukee had TO pay to the pen
sion fund and took from the city gov
eminent powers which its own COM
mon council ought to exercise. He
said he was opposed to the exercise
by the legislature of powers which
would belong otherwise to local gov
ernmental funetionaries. In the veto
OF the North bill he said the measure
repealed the laws heretofore existing
safeguarding the public bridges and
highways and did not contain similar
safeguarding provisions. The Karel
joint resolution to provide a commis-
sion to investigate the subject of the
establishment of a state sanitarium
for the treatment and cure of tubercu-
losis, was passed. The assembly adj
yanced the St Louis worlds fair APP
