an art school in Stockholm with only
81 in his pocket. How he did it those
who jump trains and shovel coal in
ships can best appreciate
In Stockholm he worked by night
and studied sculpture by day. He did
the same in Venice and Dresden and
Rome and Paris. At length fortune
favored him, and international exhibit
lions like those of st. Louis and Flor
ence voted him honors. Distinguished
people like Mrs. Whitelaw Reid be-
gan to select from his works, and IA
nous museums like the Thiel gallery
In Stockholm began to purchase
them.
To-day fourteen of his works are
exhibited in the Paris Salon of hide
pendent Artists. Indeed, It may be
said that this salon is donated by Ed
strom.

ent artists decline on principle to
send their works TO the official salons,
The society is now twenty-six years
old and is the happy ground of pur-
chasers seeking boldness and origin

"Of the fourteen pieces of statuary
which Edstrom exhibits the most
striking are his Rhapsody and The
Hunchback. The latter is pronounced
a masterpiece. His Rhapsody has
been evolved from long and re-
peated effort to express the idea of
humanity as an organic whole, blindly
but consciously rising toward the
light It has been completed with
out study from nature. and the artist
strives to eliminate even from mem

nal is his Two Clouds This is
symbolical composition. The clouds
are full of dreamy motion. They
show the outlines of two lovers in
airy flight toward distant yet harmo-
NOUS spheres. This statute is a wit
ness Of the stern conviction and
striking originality of its creator.
Efforts have been made to classify
David Edstrom with some existing
school. He has been called an i'm
pressionist, q psychologist and
classicist. The TACT is he belongs to
no school. He is school by himself
He is unique mixture of culture and
times, with a robust democratic spirit
developed in the land OF the Dakotas.
How Edstrom has grown is best ex-
pressed in the words OF the Italian
artist, Paola Betini. who says: His
early works express the pain Of
the battle OF aspiration and ideals
against the mate-ialism OF life. His
latest are masterful expressions Of
joyful serenity"

The Matter Of sunday Observance.

The Mater or sunday Observance.
Cedar Falls Record Once upon a
time many years ago lot Of Gus
boys INDUCED in lively game Of
oId-fashioned town ball on Sunday
A lot OF farmer boys were making a
call at the farm home and we all
thought 1t would be no great crime
to go TO the pasture back Of the barn
and have some sport, even II it was
Sunday, but it stirred up dickens of
a mess. The next day the teacher
kept us ali in at recess and lectured
us because OF the disgrace that we had
brought TO the entire community. The
preacher, when he made his fortnight
" round TO the school house TO de-
liver a sermon that lasted an hour and
sixty minutes, upbraided parents who
would permit their children to play
ball on Sunday and then he proceed
ed to gcore Gus boyss because of the
nregencrate cussedness that had
manifested itself on that unfortunate
Sunday afternoon. Well. we played
no more Sunday ball Note the dill
ference now. Whole communities go
wild over Sunday game Special
trains carry the multitude, bands
play and rooters and fans make the
welkin ring with yociferous shouting.
Those who have conscientious scru-
pies and remain away manage to
take down the phone at the Dsy-
Geological moment long enough to
enquire how the game went.
