The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1903-01-09

ID PHILOSOPHERS have told us that
he is a worlds benefactor who
makes two blades of grass grow
where but one grew before He who
adds to our happiness is also our
creditor, whether we acknowledge it
OF not.
l often wonder, therefore, whether
the American people. great and just
and generous enough to go to war to
befriend a poor neighbOr, recognize
how much they owe of late to the
Indian for the pleasure he has af-
forded so many of them. One has
but to think of the great output of
Indian blankets, baskets, pottery,
bead work. bows and arrows and
other of their handicraftsmanship
and then to remember how many
thousands, hundreds of thousands,
nay, even millions, of pictures of In
dams made by Burbank, Reinhardt,
Jackson Tor copies of their work.,
that have been sold during the last
few years, to realize a little the
great debt the artist owes to the In
dian in which the American people
share.
But this is only one side of the
question. There are score of other
sides to look at, only one of which
/ can present in the short space of
this brief article. And that is this:
There are to-day hundreds of thou
sands of amateur photographers in
America, who kodak. Montauk, POGO
or some other camera in hand, are
hunting for new subjects of life, in
terest and some difficulty. To these
1 wish to say: The Indian fills all
these requirements. His pictur-
esqueness everyone knows, and his
1iveliness is known to all who know
him, even though it is a generally &C
cepted fact in many minds that the
Indian buck is lazy and that it is his
wife who does all the work
Bosh and nonsense! Ridiculous
falsity.
For instance. take a look at Fig.
/ of the old Hopi Indian.
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1903-01-09

You have shown us the life and in
terest in such subjects, but where is
the difficulty that adds zest to the
artists pursuit? These are all easy
enough subjects and evidently friend
ly; where are the difficulties?
All, my friend, there are difficulties
in photographing or painting Indi-
! ans, as everyone who has attempted
it we'll knows. Some time ago l was
talking to E. a. Burbank, whose In
dian pictures are SO pleasing and he
said that one of the most interest
ing of the many memories connected
with each picture was the series OF
difficulties he had had to overcome
ere the picture was completed To
get the Indian to sit anyhow is diff
cult. His fears, his superstitions, his
nervousness at everything you do
that is new or strange to him; his
dilatOrineSS when under the influ.
ence of those who would seek to dis
suade MIN from returning, and all
these were real obstacles that had to
be overcome. The same kind of diff
ficulties meets the photographer,
Then, when one comes to the chill
dren, there subjects galore, and al!
are bewitching and appealing. The
other week, when at Oraibi, [ saw a
little child watching me through a
tiny back window 1t was the ONLY
opening in that house wall, and the
baby face framed there at once ap,
pealed to me. But knew the moment
the camera appeared a score of chill.
dren and parents would warn the pa.
rents within, or would forcibly carry
the child away. So here was difficulty
enough to give one the hunters zest in
outwitting them. l sent one of nv
friends with candy and calico to keer
the mother interested, and then [ sent
off another to make a diversion with
a handful of candy among the children
who were watching me. To get out
camera and adjust it was quick
work. To focus quicker still, all the
time swinging the camera down
street as if l were taking in a scene
there. Then, with a piece of candy
in one hand and the bulb in the
other / attracted the attention OF
the child, pressed the bulb, prayed
that he would keep still for a time
exposure. and let the sun do the
rest. The result appears in the
heading of this article.

The large picture is perhaps more
interesting yet. 1t represents an old
adobe house, with the peculiar tiled
roof of the old California mission

ancient inmates of the house-a

Formerly, in the days Of Pufier and

rs they skinned the hurdle. and though
they sailed over 1t ver;, prctt!ly. there
was distinct glide through the air.
and the motion WAS stonnc,! after each

demands that the athlete get over the
hurdle with til: greatest possible speed,
to fin himself over without any glide
In the air, and to so throw the feet and
body that the very effort to clear The

hurdle. This style, while not so pretty.

the credit for developing 1t to lis high
est FORM
Kraenzlein in topping the sticks
would use his lip as swivel. and
throw the first leg over the hurdle, not
trying to get distance on the farther
side f tie hurdle. Ills Idea was to get
that leg over rs quickly as possible.
The other leg followed after, but 1t was
not dragged. 1t was brought up smart
", so that when his first ley hit the
ground OH the other side of the hurdle
his other leg was In the position It
should he for the next stride. This ls
the leg motion, but the young hurtl.cr
will find that to get the above result
he must use his body rs lever and his
arms rs a means of balancing and pro-
pulsIon. When throwing the first leg
over the body Is doubled up ike jack
knife, rs this not only helps to get the
leg over the hurdle but 1t aids The
speed with which the hurdler gets
over. The right arm IS thrown forward
If the right leg Is first over; the left
arm is then brought up with rush
while the other leg Is being swung
across the hurdle. so that when the atli-
I lste hits the ground after clearing the
hurdle lie is in the natural position FOR
running, and can put all his effort to
getting speed between the hurdles. The
athlete should remember when going
at the hurdle he should keep his chest
squarely facing it. The body Is the
lever, and If 1t is not held straight
when going over the hurdle the athlete
will not alight sQuarely on his feet, and
he will lose form and speed between
the hurdles. In this event the runner
should plan to take but three strides
between hurdles.-From G. w. Ortons

sists of the head of the King to the

of the country at the left, the word

tion "ChrIX.R.D." below. The work
manship Is about tho same as that
of the preceding issues. but the more
elaborate design requires better en-
craving and printing in order not to
appear inferior. These stamps, both
regular and official, strike one as In
fsrior to the former issue. Some OF
the stamps are in two colors, and col
lectors expect to find them, sooner or
later with inverted centers. The top
and bottom of the frames being alike
in the preceding issues of the stamps
of Iceland, such thing as Inversion
of the center could not occur; but with
a frame like those now printed such
errors may be expected, although
great care will be taken to prevent
their reaching the public.-St. Nicho-

sparrows and finchea. orioles, mead
ow larks, fly catchers, with the excep-
tion Of the king bird, the cuckoos and
the woodpeckers. You will observe
that most Of these birds have neither
very strong nor very rapid flight. and
consequently require the shelter Of
darkness to protect them from their
enemies Moreover, most Of thom
take their food IN small quantities,
and require some time to make q full
