One of the Family.

James Seymour, the artist was born
In London in 1902. He displayed a
fondness for drawing and painting in
boyhood and subsequently gained ce-
lebrity by his skill in designing horses.
Once the proud Duke Of Somerset en-
ployed Seymour to paint room at his
seat in Sussex, with the portraits of his
running horses Having admitted the
artist to his table, he one day drank to
him. saying:
Cousin Seymour, your health"
The painter replied, My lord, real
ly believe that have the honor of be-
ing of your grace's family"
This hurt the pride Of the duke so
much that he rose from the table and
ordered his steward TO pay Seymour
and dismiss him. Finding, however,
that no one In England could complete
the pictures begun, he condescended to
send for his cousin. The painter re-
sponded to the message in these Words
"My lord, | will now prove that am
of your grace's family, for won't

puts it, "brayed below" Sir Walter
Raleigh in his history says of Bankes
that he would have shamed all the

beast as he did his horse" When
Bankes took his horse to Rome both
were burned for witchcraft.

SCENERY OF UNITED STATES,

Have you any idea of visiting the
far-famed lake regions Of Italy or
Switzerland the coming summer? Are
you aware that among the mountains
of Idaho are lakes that experienced
travellers tell us far excel in scenic
grandeur and picturesque beauty the
lakes Of Europe, Of whose charms
poets have sung for ages? The aver
age American traveller seems blinded
by the enchantment Of distance, and
yearns for the far-away hills and val
leys of Europe while passing regions
that are their equal, and often their
superior, near at home.
The Alps, the Rhine and Lucerne
seem to ring in our ears with more en-
ticing magnetism than the Rockies, the
Hudson and Lake George, the Adiron-
dacks and the Columbia, but those
who are equally familiar with all are
free to declare their preference for
the American wonderlands, says the
Four-Track News. There is greater
majesty in the Rockies than in the
mountains of Switzerland. The
natural beauty Of the Hudson far ex.
