how she and her husband succeeded In

remarkable story of woman's work and

To begin, she and her husband set
before themselves one purpose-that of
owning home. The husband had to
work ten hours day six days in the
week. so all the rest depended OH the

the drapery is. The face is what
care about" said Stuart, the great
American painter. He was once
asked what he considered the most
characteristic feature of the face
He replied by pressing the end OF
his pencil against the tip of his nose,
distorting it oddly.
His faculty at reading physiogno-
my sometimes made curious hits.
There was person in Newport cele-
brated for his powers of calculation,
but in other respects almost an
idiot. One day Stuart, being in the
British museum, came upon bust
whose likeness was apparently un-
mistakable. Calling the curator, he

ed the curator in amazement. "That
is the head of Sir Isaac Newton"
On another occasion, while din
ing with the Duke of Northumber-
land, his host privily called his atten-
ton to gentleman and asked the
painter if he knew him. Stuart had
never seen him before.
'ETell me what sort of man he
is"
q may speak frankly?"
'EBy all means"
"Well, if the Almighty ever wrote
a legible hand he is the greatest
rascal that ever disgraced society"
1t appeared that the man was an
attorney who had been detected in
sundry dishonorable acts.
Stuart's daughter tells pretty
story of her fathers garret, where
many of his unfinished pictures were
stored;
'The garret was my playground,

MUTTON FINISHING.
A New Sheep Feeding Era In til
Corn Belt.

| A New Sheep Feeding Era In the
Corn Belt.
Mutton finishing operations In the
corn belt have been hampered this year
by scarcity and high prices Of thin
range sheep and lambs, according to
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, which fur
ther says:
These a few years ago went beg
ging at Chicago and Omaha Now val
ues are decidedly out of line with fin
ished stock, practically eliminating the
finisher's margin and forcing him to
feed largely for the gain.
In other words, the man out west
proposes to go out of the business of
selling feeders and finish everything at
home.
'"rhe fact must be apparent to any
close student that the west will not
long continue to furnish the east with
material to I'LL its feed lots" said Mr..
Knolling, an Idaho breeder. with the
rapid settlement of the west and ex-
tension OF the irrigated area devoted
to small grains and alfalfa, feed will
become abundant, and it must be con-
sumed on the ground, owing to long
hauls and expensive freghts. The
grain and hay grower in the west will
need every sheep and lamb available
as medium for converting his crops
into an easily transported marketable
commodity. This is why Michigan,
Ohio and othert eastern states cannot
depend on the west for supply of
feeders in the future. If they intend to
continue in the business of making fat

ours. The faculty, with Mr.. Carson
ut the head, is composed of as fine
lot of young women as could be de-
sired. They are industrious and in
