 of the year. Mrs. Hartman, who was Mary w.

QUAKER TURNS PAINTER.
fascinating Story of Lad Who Be-
 came Famous.

The magnificent mural paintings of c. Y. Turner are among America's art treas ures. How near this famous artist came to being forbidden an artistic career be- cause his Quaker parents objected on religious grounds Is told in the New Broadway Magazine.
 When it came time for the small son to take his place among the wage-earn- CTS of the family-and that time came early--he communicated to his father his intention of being an artist. As has hap pened so often, the father objected. Not only did 1t seem to him most imprac- ticable from a monetary standpoint. but also contrary to the Quaker doctrines. In a family where brass handles on furniture were removed because they were considered frivolous and were re- placed by knobs of dark walnut. this was not matter of small importance. More over, the father had intended that the bo. should be a pharmacist.
 compromise was at last reached The painting of pictures was out of the question, but architecture recommended itself to the Quaker mind as serving an utilitarian purpose. At the same time with the possibility of making infinite charts and drawings, 1t approached close ly enough to the pictorial to satisfy the young Charles.

learninq to Swim.

Lyman H. North in the Outer's Book.
 Never waste time at first in attempt ing to learn to swim by means of the breast stroke" the "side stroke" or any other stroke. Simply wade out to where the water comes to your shoulders, lean forward, with arms extended and with one toe on the bottom; then suddenly throwing back both feet. splash and kick as wildly as you like, hand over hand and foot over foot-"dog fashion, ' as the boys call 1t. By repeating this vigorous performance few times you will feel momentary sense of buoyancy beneath you; and as your efforts are con- tinued. making no attempt to propel yourself forward, but simply to keep your nose above water, you will grad ually come to the perception that Old Neptune will hold you up with surprising. ly little effort on your part. And once that confidence gained it Is a simple mat ter to learn the more intricate and showy strokes
