 Whatever fate 1t that sent this note into the life of the boy, that fate had selected kindly for the stranger brought with him canvas and palette and brush and paint, and because he bought the services of young Henry to carry these things, new heaven opened to the dreamer The stranger surprised find that the boy setting up his easel and stool for him would, himself, judge the view and shift these paraphernala exactly to the point that the would have chosen Shy comment, too the youngster offered; for instance, that distant clump of trees which in evening mist empurpled, sometimes in the morning tender blue like that" he picked 1t out upon the palette; that the trunks of the which. at that particular hour ranged from yeveblack and brown to svrgray in certain lights and against tain coors appeared distinctly red of tone.

 "Very we'll" said he, I'll go to town and get it for you" and in his blackboard the little pony that had brought him there, took him to the world again.
 He did not come back because he could not get his check cashed in the village, he waited until he got to the city, and from there sent Jim money order with careful explanation of how to get it cashed. Unfortunately that letter went astray, and in the heart of Jim Glow there grew up natural resentment against the whole tribe of artists. When Henry find ing discarded brush and squeezing out scant supply of colors from the empty tubes the artist had left him. tried his halting hand at painting upon one of the smooth slaty with which the farm abounded, Jim Clow's patience turned to violent anger and he fought this new development of the boys worthless

Instantly he could such early morning, of those misty gray dawns in which, when the has just begun to struggle through there comes for few moments that strange feetng buencss of tint pervade all distance and to swathe all objects He talked but little further with the boy; conventional words of encouragement, and drove away in deep thought. though he turned around to look again the youngster where he stood in the middle of the road gazing ruefuly at his unfinished sketch Henry thought that the artist was dspleased in some way, and he threw down the stone and broke it, then crept off behind the underbrush at the upper side of the road bury himself for half day in misery.
 But after the lapse of week there came wonder ful express package to the village for Henry Glow. In it were half dozen stretched canvases block of sketching canvas palette palette knife, dag zling supply of paints and brushes. The materials all cheap but they ample. and for the first time in his life the boy sturdy opposed and deed his father In the face of scorn and rdicule, of fierce i'm precation, and of whippings, he persisted until at last Jim Glow forced to confess that the boy worked much better and steadily about the farm, since by this alone could he hope to ward off the objection to his painting times What panstakins study the youngster spent upon the coorng in meadow and woods and sky that once plain seemed SO elusive, only those who have gone the toilsome road may know; only they, too may understand how he hoarded paint and canvas as a miser does his gold making each stroke count and putting it down only after grave and earnest thought until at last he began force those evasive chronatc harmonies to forth at his bidding

He had almost forgotten the boy except of the minor incidents that went to make up the entire episode, but the boy had fo- gotten him. He had mentally elevated the artist to almost Olympan glory and it with the trem- bling tnidty in which might await the smile the frown of deity that he brought forth his vases to show.

HEREnlTY IN CRIMINALS.

Scientific basis for the recommen.

crime pauporsm and disease, illus

The family descended from woman

PRESIDENT AND CONGRESS.

President Roosevelt is pretty apt to
come out on top in his fight with both
the senate and the house. He has a
record for winning when he gets into
a controversy. He's generally pre-
pared before he goes in.
In the senate Senator Culbertson
and others are seeking to insinuate
that the president committed a wrong
when he told officials OF the steel cor
poration that he did not see where he
could interfere if they were to buy
the stock of the Tennessee Coal q
Iron company. A resolution was
passed Friday afternoon to the effect
that the judiciary committee be asked
for its opinion as to whether or not
the president had authority to ALLOW
this purchase. The senate started it
by inquiring of Attorney General
Bonaparte why he had not taken ac-
ton against the steel company for
this purchase The attempt was to
insinuate that the president had gone
over to the side Of the trusts and that
he was winking at an act OF corrup-

SAVE THE PRAIRIE CHICKEN.

The Nebraska state game warden
has made a few recommendation to
the Legislature for protection of the
states game. He has failed to make
any mention of the prairie chicken
which needs protection more than all
other sorts of game in the state today
The prairie chicken is almost ex-
tinct in Nebraska right now Another
season or so will put it out of bust
ness altogether. Now is the time for
all good men to come to the aid of
this characteristic fowl of the plains
Down in Kansas they are trying to
get prairie chickens back into the
state by importing them. The tragedy
of Nebraska's situation ought to be
seen in the sister states condition
The present state legislature should
provide for an absolute closed season
upon the prairie chicken for several
years. Cold weather won't hurt them
and shooting will. Under present con
ditions the chicken can be shot for
three months and half in this state,
while the guam, which never could be
killed off by the gun, and which is af-
fected alone by severe winters, can be
shot but fifteen days.
The season on quail should be in
creased and the season on chic kens
shut down altogether.
Back in New England the quail has
been shot for century, and still is as
commonplace as in the newer west. 1t
is claimed by some scientists even,
that shooting quail tends to increase
them rather than diminish. since by

Governor Shallenberger Is right in
his recommendation for a change in
the present primary law of Nebraska.
He points out that the primary is very
expensive both to the state and to
candidates for office, and says that if
it is to be maintained, it should be
radically improved. The state con
ventions. framing platforms, should be
held before and not after the primar.

among other things, eliminate the
spectacle of a candidate for office on
party ticket lifting himself above the
party after the campaign is under way
and repudiating the platform upon
which he has accepted nomination.

primary be held is also IL good one.
County officers and delegates to state
conventions would be nominated. If
there is to be a primary system it
ought to be consistently maintained
throughout.

PRESIDENT GAINS POINT.

The long bottled-up resentment felt
by certain members of congress
against the president has been coming
boldly to the surface and it now APP
pears that the closing days of the
Roosevelt administration will be
strenuous. No such hostility to IA
president has been shown in congress
since the bond issue controversy of
the second Cleveland administration.
The houses censuring resolution
has recalled the days of Andrew Jack
son when he was censured by the SEN
ate. Benton later succeeded in having
that censure eXpunged from the
records. Roosevelt says he will make
no effort along this line.

A young and indiscreet couple in
New York City embarked about a
year ago on a unique matrimonial
venture. What made it unique was
the fact that the youthful husbands
income was only six dollars a week.
Naturally the experiment failed after
trying to make Sc cover the necessary
expenses of existence for a few
months and finding that it could not
be done the wife returned to the pa
ternal home and in due time consulted
a lawyer and had her husband brought
into court on a charge of non-support.
She asked for only a third of her hus-
bands income, but the judge refused
her even that and gave her some
sound advice which, had it come be-
fore marriage, might have saved all
the trouble. The judge told her that
any young woman who would marry
man whose earning capacity was
only Sc a week must take her chances
of support

TILLMAN'S REPLY.

Senator Tillman's reply does not get
him out Of the hole. He resorts 20
his usual invective and attempts, by
calling the president names, to de-
fend himself He deals in generalities,
denying the charges made against him,
but the fact seems to remain, pretty
conclusively, that he did use his of
fetal position to get that land.
In view of what has happened to
Tillman, it would seem that every
senator and every congressman who
is innocent of plumber ought to gladly
welcome legislation which would lay
open their records to government
secret service officials. 1t is limited
from Washington that the president
holds still more charges against
others, up his sleeve. The members
of congress, instead of being proof
against anything that is wrong, are,
as a matter of fact, peculiarly thrown
into temptation and the temptations
are such that it requires strong men
to withstand their allurements.
1t would be great satisfaction, there
fore, for any man to go through con-
gresS and come out untainted, if It
were known that any act of wrong,
doing on his part during his service
would quickly be given to the public
by the secret service. The secret
service, in that way, would not be
deemed a sign that congressman
needed watching so much as it would
be recognition of the tempting OPP
portunities for graft that come to
congressman, and an effort on the part
of the government to keep clean the
record of any man who kept his record
straight.
In view of the charges that have
emanated from the White House, it
would seem only just to those sena.
tors and representatives who are free
from scandal, that they should be
given the protection of a clean slate
that would be afforded by a secret
service system in that branch of the
government And, incidentally, not
only for the protection of the public
but as much for the protection of the
regulations of the men themselves,
secret service couldb e applied to
many branches of the government, in,
Guiding the very highest officials.
