about the bay, who frequently enjoyed
the informal hospitality extended by
this talented and vivacious little woman.
Many hearts went out in sympathy to
her and the other members of the San

most irreparable

students about her and resumed her
own original work. It would seem
that the disaster which altered SO
many lives was destined to lead her
to greater fame, for it was during
this eventful year that she began her
noteworthy series of heads of prom
fnent Californians. These have been
widely recognized as the work of a
master hand. and many reproductions
of them grace the walls of studios
and homes not only in the bay region,
but throughout the state and in sec

this artists likeness of the poet is
pronounced the most admirable ever
created. William Keith. Charles Keel

Taylor and Governor Gillett are among
the noted Californians whose features
she has portrayed with a fidelity not
of the camera but of the subtler vision
which penetrates the exterior and rem

Ideal. Other distinguished persons have
arranged with Miss Campbell for sit

finished are those Of George Sterling,
Edwin Markham, Benjamin Ide Wheel

learning and art, whose Identification

N one of Berkeley's secluded gardens
stands an unpretentious studio where
recently has been done some remark
able work in portraiture. AS mod
est as her surroundings is the gifted
little woman who works here-Miss
Frances Soule Campbell, whose name is
already prominent on this coast and is
also favorably known in the, east, where
she exhibited in the galleries of Wash
to California.
OF an old colonial family whose mem
bers were planters of the Black War
rior valley in Alabama, she inherited,
with a frail physique, the warm, i'm
pulsive nature and graceful manners so
the oonfederacy. Her childhood was
spent in Mobile and she later studied in
New Orleans and at the Pennsylvania
Academy of Fine Arts, the Oldest insti-
tuition of it's kind in America. From
there she went to Washington to take
up her chosen work, painting the por-
traits of many men distinguished in
government circles and of women who
were prominent in the social life of the
nations capital. During her residence
In that city she enjoyed the privilege
of copying in the famous Corcoran
gallery, where only artists of recog-
nized talent and previous schooling
were permitted to work.
Property interests later brought her
md her mother to the Pacific coast, and
until 1906 San Francisco was the artists
home. In this metropolis she won an
snviable reputation as a painter of
miniatures, the critics speaking with
unstinted praise of the remarkable deli :
cacy of touch, depth of atmosphere and
warmth of coloring in her work and
her unusual powers of idealization.
Many of society's fairest maids and ma
irons and number of celebrities were
among the subjects of her brush A
revival of the old time popularity of
this form of likeness led her to devote
much time to 1t, but it was by no means
her only line of activity. She continued

paintings and general illustrating, ar

But most remarkable and widely
discussed of all this artists portraits
is that of the Christian Science leader,
Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, which was
completed last year. The wonderful
spirituality depicted in this face has
been more highly praised than any
thing else Miss Campbell has ever
done, and letters of the most enthu-
siastic appreciation have been writ
ten her upon the subject. She says
that in delineating the features she
has tried to represent that for which
Mrs. Eddy stands, and 1t has been said
by some of those who know the orig
inal personally to portray with sur
prising truthfulness her most charac-
teristic expression.
To be able from study of photo
graphs to create a portrait so uplift-
ing and spiritually beautiful implies
in an unusual degree talent and intu-
ition, and Miss Campbell is to be con-
graduated on having thus added to
her own laurels and drawn further
attention to California as the abiding
place of some of Americas best artists.
Socially, Miss Campbell has always
been popular, and but for the demands
of her alls absorbing work would be
more in evidence than she is at clubs
and private functions. Her ardent
nature and youthful spirits render her
capable of surprising amount of work
for one so slight and frail in appear
ance, but her very gentle voice and
winsome manner are in no way sug
gestive of the strenuous element and
she always has time for gracious
word to the casual visitor. In addi-
tion to her private studio work and
her duties as teacher she has found
opportunity to serve as chairman of the
art section in several clubs. to con-
tribute to exhibitions and to act al
staff artist for several prominent maga.
zines. She is also member of the
Colonial Danes, the Mayfiower society
and the Daughters of the Confederacy

great success. The room was crowd

Diaries Under Standard.
VermOnterS Must Make Improve
mentS to Sell their Milk in
Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts State Board of
Health has announced the results of
examination which it recently caused to
be made of diaries in New Hampshire
and Vermont which furnish milk for sale
in Massachusetts.
In New Hampshire the inspectors of
the State Board examined 124 diaries, of
which 60, or so 81 per cent, were found
to present no features Objectionable to
the Board. In Vermont SO diaries were
examined, and of this number only 20,
or 1915 per cent passed the inspection.
To the owners of the diaries which pre-
sented undesirable features the State
Board has sent letters informing them of
improvements they must make if they
desire to continue the sale of milk for
consumption in Massachusetts.
The diaries examined in New Hamp-
shire were in the towns of Antrim, Ben.
nington, Chester, Deering, Derry,
Francestown, Greenfield, Hancock, Hills
boro, Hudson, Jaffrey, Londonderry,
Pelham, Petersboro, and Windham. In
Vermont the-towns visited were Barnet,

Met Death In Peculiar Manner

William Wilson, who lived with his
brother, Fred Wilson, in the west part
of the town of Derby, met death in
peculiar manner Wednesday night, Dec.
/. Coming home late he went to the
barn and by mistake walked out of the
wrong door, falling thirty feet to the
yard below. He struck on his head on
the frozen ground, inficting an ugly
wound. AS Mr.. Wilson's habits were
somewhat cratic the family thought
nothing of his absence. When Fred Will
son went to the barn at o'clock the
following morning he found the pros
trate form of his brother in the yard,
covered with blood and with both hands
frozen. He was unconscious and lived
but twelve hours after being found. Mr..
Wilson was carpenter.
The Poultry Industry.
1t is fact not generally known that
of all faim products poultry stands
fifth in value. 1t is estimated that the
cash derived from the sale of poultry
and eggs amounts to half billion
dollars annually. 1t is believed that
this amount is being rapidly increased
each year, due to the fact that farm
ers are beginning to realize the prof
it's there are in we'll cared for flock
of hens. When all poultry keepers fully
appreciate how easy it is to increase the
productiveness of their fowls, it is fair to
assume that this branch of farm products
will advance we'll toward first place in
relative value. The following letter
from c. D. Chatterton of West Brook
field, VT, indicates the way in which
some are increasing their egg product
ion. He says: II have used Pages
Perfected Poultry Food for the last
two years, and l got one-third more
eggs than before. l can't get along
without it..
Ifyou want to know more about this
food and the best ways of using it,
write to c. S. Page, Hyde Park, VT,
for his booklet, Profitable Poultry"
1t will be sent free, postpaid, to anyone
mentioning this paper.

Installing New Fire Alarm.

L. w. Bills of Boston, an expert electri-
clan is here installing the storage battery
and switch board of the Gamewell Fire
alarm system that the village is having
installed. The battery is located at the
pumping station and Mr.. Bills hopes to
have it in working order by Friday night.
1t is the latest type of fire alarm that has
been installed in many larger cities. Four
circuits are provided for in the system
but only three are to be used at present.
The village expects to save considerable
money as we'll as secure much more effici-
ent service with the new system. The
batteries for the old system cost $3.50
year to operate and was not reliable in
cold weather. The contract price for the
new system is 5000 and it will cost $50 to
operate the batteries for ten years. 1t is
much more accurate and reliable in add.
ton to the saving in cost.
