APPEARANCES SOMETIMES DE-
CEIVlNG-It is an old saying that one
cannot judge correctly by appearances.
though that is just what everybody
tries TO do every day. The other day
policeman encountered a negro in
an alley that had all the outward ap-
pearance. of a hobo and one who
might be expected from his appear
ance to be ready for any kind of an
adventure that would return a piece
Of money. Without arresting him the
man was told TO go to the city hall
and tell the marshal about himself
and if necessary secure a bed for the
night in the Jail, the purpose being to
have al least one suspicious character
in a safe place after dark. The ne
gro obeyed orders and when the mar
shall asked him if he was broke he
said not quite. and exhibited two rolls
of bills. either one of which would
have felt mighty good in the marshals
pocket He was a miner and smell
terman and had just drifted in from
Nevada. He left the most of his mon
ey with the police that night and the
next day rode out OF town on the
cushions
ABOUT cHILDREN-As most peo-
pie know. this is the best country in
the world to raise children in. They
grow as prolifically as oranges and
are as hardy as cactus. They are so
easily cultivated in fact that many
parents raise them like their orchards
or their flocks and only at stated
times take a census. or inquire after
them when they fail to come up for
food and water. for like the range
population they require some looking
after. But altogether one scarcely
needs To ride herd on his Arizona chill
dren. As a rule they stay well bunch
ed but there are frequent occasions
in a large flock of them when a few
get cut off in a bunch by themselves
or sometimes individuals stray singly
from the main herd. When they fail
to come up at feed time there is some
times anxiety and il is almost an.
hourly occurrence that the police are
informed of one or more youngsters
who have left the accustomed range.
Yesterday afternoon one passed. of
five was reported 10 be at large and
there was great worry and excitement
in the home camp but before a round
up could be inaugurated the strays
were found and driven in.
A FINE PiCTURE-F. p. Howard.
who recently painted the dog and
cradle picture which has attracted so
much attention in the Boston store
window. has just completed and last
night unveiled in local billiard room.
another hadsome work OF art, a club
room picture entitled THE Lovers" II
is surely a fine painting and attracts
many admirers. The study or inspir-
alton was a kodak picture taken at
>Coney Island. 1t shows a young man
and young woman standing on the
beach. while the white caps are break
ing beyond. They are not in bathing
costume as might be supposed. but
are in their usual summer clothes. the
young man in his shirt sleeves and his
trousers rolled up TO the knees. The
viewpoint is from the beach some dis
lance behind the couple: both are
without shoes or stockings, just wad-
ing in the surf which breaks around
their feet. His arm encircles her
waist and ii is plain to see that while
they enjoy their tryst in the sunshine
their thoughts are of more sacred and
serious matters that may concern
their entire lives. Not only is the
picture as outlined one that appeals to
the sentiments but the detail in exc
cution. as for instance the lights and
shadows as well as the very texture
and pattern of the fabrics with which
both figures are attired.
