very good, illustrated article on the
monument and memorial cottage erect
ed by the Lattor-day Saints on the
place where the Prophet Joseph was
born. The Illustrations Include por-
traits of the Prophet and his brother
Hyrim, the Patriarch and their ven-
Grated mother; photograph of the
memorial cottage and the hearthstone
of the birthplace. Concerning the por-
traits the writer says;

room are three modern paintings, after
carly portraits. They are OF the pro-
phet Joseph Smith. his older brother
Hyrim, who was Killed with him, ana
their mother.

nance. The artist may have ideallasI

with the name OF Joseph Smith an old
man. this portrait Is more striking than
an encyclopedia OF facts about his ire

shows a strong, sympathetic and intel
ligent face.
