getting up in the morning to feed his
horse. He has had a feed box made
with a clock attachment so that every

and begins to think how comfortable
the bed is, the clock goes off with a
whirr, the mechanism pulls the

tine coast" said Mr.. Clawson. and came
some time after established myself
in San Francisco. She was of Proud
southern lineage, and the painting
brought me many more con missions,

gown for the portrait in which her
grandmother had been presented to
Washington, and the work when fin

the list ran on past names well known
