Painting Inspired Nelson.
IN the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Wolfe died in the arms OF victory as
Nelson at Trafalgar" We remarked in
connection with the hundred and fiftieth
anniversary of WOlfe's death. That the
heroic death of Wolfe inspired Nelson Is
shown I'm the story told by West, painter
of the well known Death Of Wolfe," to
Ticknor. the historian of Spanish litera-
ture, in Vests gallery in 1915. They were
standing before Vests picture of the
Death OF Nelson"-now at Greenwich
and the artist said in reference to il that
at q banquet given in Nelson's honor
Nelson expressed his regret that his art
education had been neglected, but"
turning to. West. he continued there is
one picture whose power do feel. / new
er pass a paintshop where your Death of
Wolfe is in the window without being
stopped by it"
To Nelson's inquiry why he painted no
more like It he answered: Because there
are no more subjects" d it," ex-
claimed Nelson, II didn't think of that"
and asked West to take a glass Of cham
payne. But. my lord" said the artist,
II fear your intrepidity will Yet furnish
me with such another scene, and II 1t
should I shall certainly avail myself Of
It," will you? Will you?" cried Neson,
pouring out the bumpers and striking his
gass against Vests; then hope l shall
die at the next battle' He sailed q few
days later and Vests Death Of Nelson"
was painted In due course.

The Vanishing Trapper.

From the KenDebcc Journal.
The forward march of civilization has
reached the wilds of the Canadian north
and trappers report that their business is
rapidly becoming Improbable on account
of the frequency of the settlements. This
state of affairs is to be expected and the
wonder is that the situation has not be-
come more acute long ago. 1t is remark
able the business has continued profit
able
History has repeated itself i'm this as in
all other things. The advance guard OF
civilization was years behind class or
hardy trappers who earned their llVell-
hood in the solitude of the forests by
taking animals for their furs. AS civili-
cation advanced the number or trappers
became larger and the amount OF game
diminished until there was no longer
profit to be had from the business. II
began with Maine and Massachusetts and
continued to the westward until the
United States was no longer tenable Tor
the trapper The Hudson Bay Company
preserved the frozen north OF Canada for
half a century after the United States
had ceased to be a profitable hunting
ground, but the onward march of the
railroads and the ever restless wave Of
homeseekers has at last advanced to the
very outposts of the Hudson Bay terri
tory. Gold and wheat have been the
Iodestones and the trapping business suf-
fers.
Where will we get our furs i'm the flu
ture? We will raise them. For farm
ing skunk farming cat farming and the
hundred and one other kinds of animal
raising will take the place of the trap
per and his gun. Other fur-bearing ami
mails will soon be taught to eat out of
the hand of man just as the domestic
animals of the farm have been doing
for centuries. Man will simply enlarge
his control of the lower animals, enlarge
his control over the fur-bearing as we'll
as the food-bearing animals.

Sam Houston's Grave.

From the Wills Point TexD Chronicle. =.
In a quiet nook i'm the Huntsville ceme-
terry repose the remains of Gen. Sam
Houston, whose name will ever be linked
with the history of Texas because OF his
patriotic and able service rendered the
state both before and after Texas became
a state.
1t is marked by a cheap marble slab
bearing this simple inscription: General
Sam Houston. Born March ., 1913, died
July 20, 1865" The thirtieth legislature,
through the efforts of Senator Mcdonald
Meachum and Col. a. T. Mckinney, SEN
ator and representative from that district
made an appropriation of $1,000 to erect
suitable monument over Gen. Houstons
grave. but, unless IL has been done very
recently, no contract has been let for
the work. the relatives Of Gen. Houston,
it is said, being unable to agree upon
suitable design. Unless the contract is
let before September 1 the appropriation
will lapse. But what does a monument
amount to anyhom? I'VE live in Deeds"
not in monuments. Gen. Houston needs
no monument 10 keep his memory fresh
in the minds and hearts of Texans. The
most imposing monument that could be
erected at his grave would crumbie into
dust before his name and history are
forgotten in Texas. But the monument
should be there, not for Gen. Houston's
sake, but as an evidence OF our own
appreciation and recognition of patriotic
services.

The Garden City Movement.
From Vogue.

from VOGUE
Germany has started TO make garden
cities, one Berlin society having acquired
a large plot OF land on the northern out
skirts OF the city for the construction, I'M
der the name OF Frohau, of the first real
garden city of the capital. This city will
be built in a picturesque hilly part Of
the state forest: will have it's own railway
station, and will be laid out regardless of
cost as regards external adornment From
all parts of Germany reports show that
the idea has taken firm hold OF the peO-
pie, the feature most insisted upon be-
ing the abandonment of the fiat house.
and the substitution of the small house
and villa. on the English model. In
Bavaria, where there Is always A shortage
OF houses. the government will transfer
for garden purposes parts of the state
forests In the vicinity of large towns
Garden cities are either built or projected
at Dresden, Nurnberg, Modeburg and
Karlsruhe. AT Modeburg houses with
large gardens for single families will soon
be rentable for about SEQ a year, American
money. 1t is to be hoped that this coun-
try will soon undertake the same kind of
DEVELOPMENT.
