THEY'RE TWO GENIUSES,
Alex ii. Hardie Shows Great Tai
ent as a CartoOnist.

Monday afternoon the representa- =
tive of the Republican was shown quite
a number pen picture and portraits and
cartoons drawn by Alex H. Hardie, son
O A. A, Hardie 10 Fourth st. His
portrait of Washington drawn one day
early last week was marvellous as to
conception and execution for lad on
ly II years of age and armless, he
holding his pencil and pen in
his mouth while at work. He has a
portfolio of drawings that are we'll
worth seeing. all showing genius of
far more than ordinary Obility. If he
perseveres as he certainly wjll-for he
loves his work-there is nothing to
prevent hin. from achieving distinc-
tion as cartoonist.
Alex recently received a letter from
Miss Kittie Smith Of South Whitley,
Ind, an armless girl, who draws,
writes and does many wondesful things
with her feet. She writes an elegant
hand (or rather feet) far better than
the average penman. She wrote the
story of her fife, a copy of which was
sent to Alex.

Very few of the really up-to-date tan

The showing OF shoes and stockings for
spring and summer wear is attractive
enough to tempt the most prudlsh woman
