A LEPAGE PICTURE,
The Work That Brought the Artist
Public RECOGNITION.

The Work That Brought the Artist
Public Recognition.
The label on certain spring water
still in use was designated by Du
Maurier, who was probably not over
paid for it, and New York artist who
has since gained distinction eked out
the hardest part of his early struggles
by designing advertisements for a
commercial house. There have been
many more perhaps, but the most con-
spicuous on record is Bastien Lepage,
who through this very fact was forced
into fame. He was pursued by unmer-
ciful disaster through his youth in his
efforts to study art. His mother worked
in the fields to keep sickly boy at
school. At fifteen he went alone to
Paris, starved for seven years, painted
without success, but still-painted. He
had just finished picture to send to
the Salon when Paris was besieged,
and he rushed with his comrades to
the trenches.
On the first day shell fell into his
studio and destroyed his picture, and
another shell burst at his feet, wound
| ing him. He was carried home and lay
| i'll and idle for two years. Then he re-
turned to Paris and, reduced to abso-
lutte want, painted cheap fans for a
living.
One day a manufacturer of some. pat
| ent medicine ordered a picture from
him to illustrate its virtues. Lepage,
| who was always sincere, gave his best
| work to this advertisement. He paint
ed a landscape In the April sunlight.
The leaves of tender green quivered in
the breeze A group of beautiful young
girls gathered around fountain from
which the elixir Of youth sprang in a
bubbling stream. Lepage believed there
was real merit in It,
"Let me offer it at the Salon?" he
asked his patron. Il, ..-
The manufacturer was delighted.
'But first paint rainbow arching over
the fountain" he said, with the name
Of my medicine upon It." /5:E
Lepage refused. = ~ Gs
/ "Then I will not pay you sou for
the picture"
The price OF this picture meant bread
for months, and the painter had long
needed. bread. The chance OF admis.
sion to the salon was small He hest.
tated. Then he silenced his hunger and
carried the canvas to the salon. It was

Its great success insured Lepage
public recognition, and his later work
gained him place among the greatest

"'Yes indeed the curfew ordinance
will most certainly be enforced" Such
was the reply Mayor-elect Webb made
to Tribune reporter today. There
is no reason for little folks being on
the streets after curfew hours and
this thing of little girls and boys
hanging around the streets and the
depot at all hours of the night is
most certainly going to be stopped"
"No harsh or undue measures will
be adopted at the outset but the chill
dren-and their parents also mind
you-will be given to understand that
the curfew law is to be. enforced.
Then If the youngsters persist in the
violation of the ordinance decisive
steps will be taken to stop it,
Asked il there had been any
definite plans along other lines yet
Mr.. Webb replied that there had not
and also stated that he did not desire
it said that he was going to promul-
gate or cause to be brought about any
thing that would work hardship to
any one.
Asked about police matters Mr..
Webb said: ''The system of police
will be maintained at the highest pos
sibIe standard. There will be an Of
ficer during the day as we'll as at
night and they will arrest every time
there is an occasion for it. The depot
man will be reempowered with police
authority and there are several things
that will receive immediate attention"
II am not just prepared to say what
these things will be but have them
well in mind and will use my influence
to have a change brought about if for
no other purpose than to make it a
little more pleasant for ladies who
have occasion to pass certain corners
on the city streets"

A bill is pending in the Minnesota
legislature regulating whiskey. It
provides that pure whiskey must con-
tain at least so per cent pure alcohol
in volume and not more than .03 fusel

enacted into in a prohibition pig
state like North Dakota. It would
tend to relieve the asylum, the city

BRAY ON AUSTRALIA.

John P. Bray of Grand Forks, con-
sui to Melbourne, who is visiting his
old friends in this section, consented
to brief interview at Superior where
he is visiting his sister, and on the
general subject of conditions in
Australia, said:
Australia is large country by It.
self-equal in area to the United
States excluding the Alaskan terri
tory. It's richness in minerals is be-
yond calculation, as its resources in
gold and other precious minerals are
only beginning to be realized. Every
where is abundant opportunity for the
Investment Of American capital, and
might say that money is being invest.
ed by citizens of the United States
who are doing much to increase the
business and trade relations with this
country.
"The greatest export of Australia
outside of gold is WOOL The people
may be said to be divided into two
great classes-the wool growers and
miners. The wool growers are in the
greater majority. They form the
neuclus of government. They are the
patriotic class who can always be re-
lied on to be steady and persevering.
The adaptness of the country for
sheep raising and the good prices paid
each year for wool makes them pros
porous.
1.The mining class is made up more
of reckless wandering band of spec
ulators who are little changed in nat
ural tendencies over the miners who
are found in all parts of the world.
They are after the gold and they have
been successful in this regard"
When asked concerning the political
movements in the country toward So
cialism and the practical effects of
government ownership, he replied.
1--WE make our reports to the gov
eminent at Washington, but always
take good care that the country we
