RUSSELL STURGIs COMMENTS
ON PAINTINGS IN MINNESOTA
CAPITOL.-Russell Sturgis' book, The
Appreciation of Pictures, has special
interest for Minnesota people in the
authors comment upon two of the
mural paintings in. the new capitol in
st. Paul. The two pictures chosen for
mention in Mr.. Sturgis' book. are the
Manitou lunette, by E. H. Blashfield, in
the senate chamber, and "The Record
ing of Precedents,'' by John La Fargo,
in the supreme court room. Both the
artist and the layman will be interested
in reading what Mr.. Sturgis has to say
about these pictures. His comment is
both explanatory and commendatory.
Mr.. Sturgis' book gives the basis for
an education in pictures. It deals with
principles and history, going back to
the early days Of the art of painting
and leading down to the present, and
illustrates and Eliminates theory and
history with halftones of many great
pictures and with lucid comment.
The book is the fourth in the Pop
| ular Art Seriesp 1t supplements two
volumes on architecture and sculpture

Mr.. Morgan was not SO sure about it.
Tt was reported that when Schwab
heard Of the matter he went to MI.
Morgan and asked him whether this
contract was standing i'll the way Of
Mr.. Carnegie making the sale. When
Mr.. Morgan replied in the affirmative
Schwab very theatrically drew the con-
tract from his pocket and tore it up.
Whether this story is true or not it
was fact that Mr.. Carnegie had in
Frick, schwab, Corey. Packer and half
hundred more, the most intelligent
and loyal lieutenants that man ever
had. He made them all millionaires.
But somehow not all of them have stood
the test of wealth and opportunity.
Schwab sorely tried Carnegie with his
gambling exploits and later with his
shipping trust game into which Govern
OF Odell was drawn, and which indi-
rectly brought on the great insurance
Investigation. Corey has made him
heartsick with his performance with an
actress, and now Packer is being sued
for breach of promise by lively
widow for whom he built a house, and
who was his frequent travelling COM
