THERE are only three miniatures in the
/ Water Color Clubs exhibition and
these are all by Martha Wheeler Baxter
of Boston They are. however. worthy
of special notice. One is Of a baby
woman in a gray-blue gown. and the
third is Of maiden in a white gown
and black hat. To the last honorable
mention was given in Paris, but the three
are equally clever. Their handling is
broad and Vet very subtle. The texture
and color of the ivory seem in a measure
to have been preserved and yet the fig
ment has been laid on firmly and ap
parently allowed to flow freely. TIE
manipulation of the masses OF white IN
both the baby picture and that of the
lady with black hat is notably skillfui.
and the reticent strength OF the effect
in each Instance is likewise remarkable.

his exhibition of Indnan pictures which
was held at the Shoreham three days last
week. al Morrey'S galleries this week and
next. This will be learned by many with
pleasure. for though Mr. Curtis photo
gra phs are well known. they are worth
seeing more than once, and with the
prints now on view are to be found his
most recent works. Possibly no one who
has not used a camera and thus been
brought face 10 face with the limitations
of photography will realize how much he
has accomplished or how truly remark
able are his results. But all will grant
his success and pay tribute to his art.
Primarily Mr.. Curtis object is to pre-
serve an accurate record of the vanish
ing race but lie is clothing this record
in felicitouS form. Strange as ii may
seem. we have no painter of the Indian
WHO has attained a great eminence. Mr..
Sharp has come nearer to it perhaps than
any other. but even he has produced no
great canvas-no pictorial epic of the
race. In sculpture we have Dal!in and
MacNeill. For the rest. unless except
Mr. Deming. ii is the white mans Indian
that has been interpreted Partly this has
come through lack of knowledge. Mr..
Curtis knows his subjects. He has lived
among them-won their confidence and
their affection-so he has been able
through tie most unyielding medium to
picture them truly and artistically. His
photographs are well composed and ad-
mirably lighted They have tie ring of
unconscious truth And, Furthermore. they
have stirring dramatic significance. With
out being forced or affected. they are
poems of a race. both lyric and epic.
Take. for example. women OF the Des-
ert. The Burden Bearer" The Apache
Reaper and score of others. Or turn
to the portraits ana note how vital they
are and at the same time how personal.
Strong faces are pictured and with con
summate art This is not the result of
accident nor of clever craftsmanship. but
of experience won through failure. much
study and inherent instinct. 1t is great
work.

The nature Of various clas5e5 OF

with the bewildering assortment c
railroad bonds, government and mu

naturally finds considerable difficulty
In making selection.
Generally speaking, there is no
safer security than a first-mortgage
bond Oh an established railroad which
serves a well-settled section of the
country.
RAILROAD bonds are better than the
bonds of an industrial corporation, for
instance because the earnings Of a

Young Reggars In Mining camrs.

1.-THE mining camp child usually de-
telops into the greatest beggar as a
class that child life ever Sees said H.
D. Smith of Milwaukee. Il have never
been in a mining camp yet where there
were children that one of them did not
stop me every now and then and ask
for some money or piece of ore,
Their plaintive walls are heard on
all sides.
"A story is told OF little girl in
Dawson who made it her custom to ask
every miner she saw for nugget. She
was cute little thing, and her re-
quest was nearly always acceded to.
After while she had $4,000 worth of
nuggets collected in this fashion. AS a
rule the miner Is generous fellow,
particularly in gold camp where the
inhabitants have prospered and where
most of the men have claims Of their
own. Nearly all of them carry loose
gold around in their pockets and think
nothing Of giving little chunks of il
away.

supplied with gold they usually are
free with their money and the begging
child is tossed anything from nicke

The Fake Robbery Again

1t was fishy looking story. The To-
cal agent of New York corporation
out in Wisconsin town, handling it's
funds daily, reported robbery. Two
men had come into the Office late at
night, when he was at work on the
books, and at the points of pistols he
had yielded up $4,000 Of the company's
funds. TWO days later the confidential
travelling agent of the corporation
dropped into the town and talked it
over with the local man in a quiet
way "In five minutes" he told Tip,
ri knew there had never been any
robbery. How did | know? Instinct.
The story he told was too sweet.
There wasn't flaw in it. 1t was like
framed-up alibi. You know the best
alibi, until you can knock it CIT, is the
one that is invented for the occasion"
