he sat down to write to his mother.
Dearest mother: l hope you are
all we'll on the farm. | am quite we'll,
though sometimes l get rather lonely
here and wish | could see you all.
am working very hard Just now; you
know there are twenty or thirty in
my class at the Art school, and as they
all have been there longer than have.
l have to work like everything to keep
up. There are some very clever boys,
too: one we call Raphael No. 2, be-
cause he is really wonderful; his
father is an artist here, SO 1t is no
wonder he paints so we'll. Another
clever boy is Brook; he painted the
picture which l am sending you. He
is a very pleasant fellow, but not
much of worker. At the end OF the
session. seven months off yet, there is
always an exhibition of paintings, done
entirely by the pupils themselves,
which counts a great deal in the award
ing of the scholarship. | am AFRAID

more than that 1t is getting late. so

Having put this in the envelope with
the picture, he turned out the light
and went to bed. AS early as six next
morning, however, he was up and at
work at his easel, eager to catch the
first light of the cool autumn morn,

breakfast, then joined the vast army
of workers who. like himself, were
hurrying towards the city.

cheerful greeting. as he entered the

He had forgotten the rest, but al.
most mechanically he picked up his
brush and set to work with such
energy that even Raphael glanced up
from his canvas, and go it. Billy"

Dear Sir: A pound OF good meat

plenty of bone
There are people who won't pay
more than 81 80 gallon for
paint; give 'em hone!
There's no better school than
experience; cost is high; but the
lesson is never forgotten.
Let man paint two houses
alike, same size; one Devoe, the
other that + 30 paint. He buys
10 gallons of each, and pays SO
day for labor-$3 II day is $3 II

He has to buy two gallons more

He pays 80 gallon for paint
lug; 5 gallons S2l; gallons $3G !;

He'll buy the lesS-gaIlons paint
after that If people are slow TO
