you steam out OF the strait of Belle

floating from the north, an endless pro

The picture was begun In the spring.
and ] had been at work on the wo-
mans figure barely a week when my
model stayed away one day TO go on a
yachting trip. From this she never re-
turned The boat capsized, and all on
board were drowned So true 10 the
subject Of the painting was this incl
dent that I turned the canvas 20 the
wall. unable TO continue the work.
More than year passed. aad one
day the old gentleman who posed FOR
the other figure asked me about the
picture. l explained TO him that I had
been unable TO continue with the work.
After some reasoning he persuaded me
10 get the canvas out. I added n bit
10 his figure and decided 10 continue
the work. after persUading myself that
this morbid state Of mind caused by
the incident of a year previous was
more or less due now TO a bad case OF
indigestion.
The next day / began work with a
new model. Scarcely two weeks had
passed when this girl caught cold in
my studio. was stricken with pneumo-
MIA. and before the month was out she
died.
Horror stricken, I turned the can
vas again to the wall and declared that
never again would 1 touch It.
Many times would L look at It and
long to complete It. but the work was
at such stage that n model was nee
eSsary, and my superstition conquered.
So 1 RETAINED from taking up the
brush.
"One day many months afterward 1
left model alone in the studio. Her
curiosity prompted her 70 look at some
canvases stacked against the wall.
This one took her fancy. She saw it
was unfinished. and. TO my amaze
ment. when 1 returned the picture was
standing on the easel
." L want to pose for that she said.
as L entered.
But it is impossible. Neither You
nor any one else shall ever pose for
that picture
But it is n great subject. You
must finish it-yOu must"
so insistent was she that I finally
yielded. and she posed for me. 1 never
saw model 50 interested in the prog
resS Of a painting. She could scarcely
wait 10 see il finished. At last IL was
completed. and l rejoiced 10 think that
1t was done without further fatality.
But in that l was mistaken Almost in
credible rs it may seem, six months
later. when that painting was hung on
exhibition, my last model died from
burns she received in n hotel fire.

The United States and New JERSEY

ne United States and New Jersey"
The suggestion that New Jersey IS
outside of the United States IS not
often touched upon nowadays, but for
many years the references to IL were
as common rs the recurrence Of the
mother-in-law joke. The origin Of the
Idea came from a condition under
which the Camden and Amboy railroad
held its charter, which provided that
out of the railroad receipts 81 should
be paid into the state treasury for ev-
cry through passenger. With that
praiseworthy prudence that has raised
railroad managers into such proml-
hence among business men and fnan-
ciers the directors ordered that a dol
lar should he added 10 the regular fare
on every through ticket As transpor-
tation began at Jersey City. across the
North river from New York. and end

The settlers are quite indignant about
the manner in which the horses owned
by a certain brewing company are
allowed to roam about, doing no small
amount of damage. The farmers are
seriously thinking of organizing a club
and making the necessary arrangements
for the care of such stock which does
damage to grain and property.
This part of the county is now fully
settled and the people are praying that
the county fathers of Stark, our guard
ians, may take steps to build a few
bridges across the Cedar and Cannon

these rivers at the risk of his life.
