During these few days il was growing
upon him that the face Of Cecilia was
especially suited for the mother Of one
who, though divine, was born in a
manger.
The artist confessed his profession
and told the farmer Of his object The
man was so pleased that his daughter
should sit for picture Of the Virgin
that he consented TO take her TO the
artists studio himself
For months the picture OF the Madon
ma was growing on the canvas. Tn
consciously the painter. though he fol-
lowed Cecilia's features and outline,
put In the expression with which his
Imagination had endowed his lost wife.
The picture therefore became a thing
of heavenly beauty. But the artist
could find no child that would do for
model of the infant Saviour He
had sketehed child's outline In the
picture. hoping every day TO come upon
the model he wanted. The babe should
resemble fits mother. and no babe could
be found with the features OF Cecilia.
BY this time the artist had become
engrossed in his work. Gradually his
imaginary conception Of his wife's
beauty was transferred to the model
and through her to the canvas, though
Of this he was unconscious Then one
day It occurred TO him TO marry Cecil
lia. and perhaps they would have a
child that would do for the model In
FAINT Jesus Her father consented, and
the marriage took place
After his marriage the artist left her
picture as it was, hoping for child
from which be might Oil in the child
I in the picture. A little son came TO
him, ana when it was about fifteen
months old he transferred the image to
the canvas. The Madonna was a won
der; the child had inherited her fea-
lures. and her father adored him.
| When the picture was finished the few
who were permitted to see it were
struck dumb with admiration. But one
thing puzzled the artist. No one saw
any likeness between the Madonna and
Cecilia.
It was a happy morning for the art
list and his family when the award
was announced and be was found TO
be the winner. The prize was enough
to keep them very modestly, and they
not only enjoyed competence. but the
fame the father and husband had won,
He tried often again to do such work,
but never succeeded. However, his
name on a picture was ever after sufi-
eient to insure its sale for large sum
one day several years after the win
ming of the prize the artist went ar
into bis garrett to hunt for a frame he
hoped might be there. His old pictures
were scattered about. mostly daubs Of
his student days. There was one pie
ture. the portrait Of woman, that h'
could not remember ever having paint
ed. He took it up and held il 70 th'
light. The face was very common

model he could have used in its paint

chat his clothes were rags and he had
nothing to eat except dry bread Then
one day upon learning that there was

for cathedral, Madonna and child.
he reused himself to an effort to win
the prize. The winning picture must be
a wonder, and three years were given

to discover among the dairymaids or
shepherdesses what he desired, for Il

air and sunshine Frightened the spirit
within him. and he became interested
in his search. He visited many young
women. but found none that be thought
would do for a divine model His ideal
was tie face Of his lost wife. and one

Surface Indications Point to ReneWa
of Movement to Reduce the
south's Reprzsertation.
South's Repr4s rtation.
CANNON TO TAKE INITIATIVE

\ Washington telegram says.
THAT President Roosevelt's section,
aism was not ahated one degree by
the sweeping victory given him at the
polls last Tuesday is evidenced by
the renewal Of surface indications on
the par of his partisans in congress
to insist upon the reduction OF the
south's representation. While the
movement will be taken up under the
specious plea of reducing the repre-
sentation OF the states in the house
of representatives in proportion to
the extent to which the suffrage is
denied their citizens. the real act is
aimed at the southern states. 1t is
blandy claimed that Massachusetts
and Mississippi would receive rela-
ton. but to the southern members of
congress this is balderdash, for the
percentage of illiteracy in Mis-
sissippi, owing to the grea
number of negroes in thai state. is
much larger than in Massachusetts
Hence the reduction would fall heav-
Iiest upon Mississippi
That the question Of reducing the
representation of the states will come
up at the next long session is aug
mented by the fact that during the
/, late campaign the issue was fiercely
advocated by Speaker Cannon of Hi
nois, who in all probability will take
the initiative when the opportunity is
presented.
Eastern newspapers. welded to the
president and his policies, are point
ing out the political advantage to ac-
c1ue to the Republican party by re-
ducing the representation along the
line Indicated. They realize however,
that the issue will preciptate trouble
u the house. and for that reason thew
suggest that the effort will probably
not be made until the long session.
T. President Roosevelt should call an
extra session it is believed by some
of his supporters that the question
Will be taken up for definite action.

GouLDs GET COAST TERMINAL.

The Gould system, through John D..
Rockefeller, has. by quiet manipula-
ton, gained an outlet to the Gulf of
Mexico, and the terminal in all prob
ability will be Gulfport, Miss Capt.
Jos. r. Jones is sole owner of the
Gulf and Ship Island railway, which a
short time ago absorbed the Misss-
sippi Central. the name Of which was
changed to the ST. Louis, Pascagoula
and Panama. A branch of the Gulf
and Ship Island has been built to Sill
vhr Creek from Mendenhall. and far
ther down branch extends from
Make to Columbia. But twenty five
miles more are to be built to make
both ends meet at Silver Creek. The
st. Louis Pascagoula and Panama is
t;esburg, on the main line Of the Gulf
and Ship Island, and will cross the
state from Silver Creek to NatcheZ, a
distance Of IS miles, and there cross
the river and connect with the Gould
sys EN- to the west. Hattiesburg will
be the eastern terminal and Pasca-
goula wants the line extended to that
port. but the Gulf and Ship Island,
when completed to Natchez. will be
virtually double tracked to Gulfport
from Hattiesburg, Mendenhall and
Silver Creek. 1t is probable that the
Gulf and Ship Island will absorb the
road which the Gulf Coast Lumber
company is building from Lyman,
nine miles north of Gulfport, to Lum-
berton, thus completing its double
tracks where most needed.
Gulfport seems to be the logical
port. approachable by the Gould sys-
TEN, and Rockefeller is investing
there heavily. 1t is aid that Capt.
Jones will spend $2.O00.OO0 more
there in dock Improvements.
