DRAWINGS and PAINTINGS.

The first sketch from nature which
a great artist makes nearly always
has a freshness which he only labors
away in the picture he bases on it;
and the rough pencil or charcoal lines
of the former frequently reveal more
of ki- feeling toward bis subject than
all his anxious manipulations of the
brush. That is why it is so exceeding
ly worth while to collect and Cata-
logue every scrap of drawing that
once Uttered a great painters studio.
His drawings give you his intentions;
his paintings do not always give you

drawing is incomplete, but therein lies
its charm. Possessing a drawing you

PLANT Fruit TREES.

Much is appearing in the state
papers in regard to the fruit crop of
the Eastern Panhandle and its great
value. There is no reason why this
crop should be limited TO the pan
handle counties. Apples, pears, plums
and peaches will grow just as well in
the pan as in the handle.
Monongalia orchards can be made
productive and profitable if they are
given intelligent care. Corbley An
derson OF Battelle district has a peach
orchard which yielded as profitable
crop this year, acre for acre, as any
OF the peach lands of the panhandle
counties. There is no reason why
other farmers of this county should
not succeed in raising this money
making crop.
Severals farmers living near Nor
gantown have learned the money val
ne of the fruit crop and their farms
are yielding them increased revenues
because of this discovery. Plant or
chards and take scientific care of
them. II requires some years OF
waiting for the returns, but when they
come they are very satisfactory

THE FUTURE OUTLOOK

The Eastern Panhandle counties of
West Virginia have for years been pro
ducing large crops Of fruit which, on
account of their superior quality have
commanded the top prices in the best
market in the world but 1t was not
until recently that the people of this
state fully comprehended the value OF
the orchards of Hampshire, Berkeley,
Hardy and other counties Facts and
figures made public this fall have fur
nished a revelation at once startling
and gratifying. West Virginia apples,
peaches and other fruit are in such
great demand in the East that the
supply is insufficient. The fruit is
sold on the trees, and at prices that
yield big profits to the owners Of the
orchards West Virginia fruit grow
ers are beginning to realize the i'm
portance of systematic sorting and
packing, uniformity in prices, and the
shipping advantages resulting from
organization, and movement for a
more effective combination of the
growers is meeting with much en-
enlargement. The Hampshire Review
discussing the matter, states that the
corporations which are heavy shippers
can take care of their own interests,
but that there are many small grow
ers who cannot. In California and
other coast states the trade is or
oud tf-naffuaJ W. or
Virginia has the advantage over that
section in beng nearer to the market.
1t is argued that an organization with
rules for packing, with uniform prices
for the same grades of fruit, and with
economies in the purchase of mater
ials and in freight rates cannot fail
to result in increased business and
larger profits. An organization of the
small fruit growers would prove bene-
ficial also in securing recognition for
West Virginia fruit where II is not
now sold, and in establishing its pres
tige in the eastern markets through
the enforcement OF rules designed for
It's classification in accordance with
quality, as is the practice in California
and the West. There is no reason
why West Virginia apples and other
small fruits should not undersell the
California product of like quality in
the East, and thereby create an in
creased demand that would result in
the planting of thousands of additional
trees in the eastern Panhandle. That
the tendency is already in that di
rection is shown by a statement in
the Review that half million is a
conservative estimate of the number
of fruit trees to be planted in Hamp-
shire county alone this fall and next
spring-Graftcn Republican

TAAT MAN COOK.

If DIR. Frederick A. Cook is fraud,
an impostor. and liar, he surely
moves IN a most mysterious way his
blunders to perform.
When first DR.. Cook return a from

announced that his records would De

az Copenhagen within sixty days.
Well, the sixty days have barely
passed. and the records are on their
way. even as the doctor sad they
would be. But besides the original
records, the doctor has forwarded sup
elemental comment thereupon to me
tune Of some $4,000 to 10000 words.
And why do you think the doctor did
that? Because he hopes that he may
thereby save himself the possible nee
essity OF journey 10 Copenhagen
for the purpose of calculating certain
points OF the necessarily somewhat ao-
breviated record made in the vicinity
of the north pole.
Strenuous enough has been the eff
fort to stampede DR.. Cook into saying
something rash or foolish. II ever
man was assailed viciously surely
Cook has been. Not only has his
competency as an explorer been de-
nounced, but his personal integrity
has been the target OF fire amazing
in lis vehenence and unreasoning In
it's intent But this calm, cool, even
tempered mamie Is rather small
man physically, TOBIAS maintained
his poise and held his base, and now
his records are on Their way to Co
penhagen, just as he said they should
be and just when.
We have no means of knowing
what Copenhagen will think Of Cooks
records or say of them. Perhaps no
higher authority on arctic exploration
is known-or was known, at least,
until this case seemed likely to be
submitted TO it. 1t may give Or.
Cooks claims cool, dispassionate and
courteous treatment. 1t may con-
clude that he reached the north pole.
While We await the findings, it is
pleasing, indeed, to note that Mr..
Peary has recovered his equilibrium
and is steadily regaining public favor.
