DRUMM ERS SPREAD THE
NEWS.

1t is well known fact that drum
mers have much to do with spreading
the news. They go to a town and
hear the talk about the stores and
hotels and then go away to other
places and tell what they heard and
saw. They do much to circulate the
impressions of an EYE witness"
Realizing this fact, the Eufaula ala
Citizen, delivers the following lecture:
Some of the merchants of Eufaula
are slowly killing their own business
their own future, their own town.
"This may be a broad statement.
1t is true. nevertheless. The mer-
chants may Re doing it unconsciously
and unintent:on ally, but that does not
remedy the fact.
"A drummer for certain we'll
known house who is a good salesman,
and naturally windy" comes to Eufau-
la. He calls upon a cartain merchant
to show his line. This merchant with
long face refuses to see the drum
mer's samples, telling him that Eufau-
la is dead and that business is poor.
How much better 1t would have
been and what better effect 1t would
have produced upon the salesman had
the merchant said he had plenty of his
line of goods in stock or that he did

first, II not the first, to realize that

women, not draped angels-are more
beautiful than men. Early in his life.
he was hard up and someone sent
him TO a man named Thickness, who
1t was believed could get some orders
for him if he painted him well. Thick
ness fitted his own name, for he was
very gross and short and fat. Gains
borough could not paint him. He had
developed real appreciation Of real
beauty and was about the first artist
to do so. He painted on the other
hand, very handsome picture of Mrs.
Thickness, which is today a notable
example of his work, but the man ne
gave up in despair and finally they
separated, although Thickness could
have been most useful to him. He
was reaching after finer things; he
wanted beauty as an inspiration. He
found it in the woman.
The Most Beautiful Of Created Things.
"The Americans have found 1t in
the woman, too-and it's a good thing
for them both. The idea of the old
time European artist, and of the many
new time artists on the other side is
J that women can be Just two things
mere toys or mere machines. The
Englishman and the American, more
notable, Of course, the American, see
that they are the biggest and best part
Of life and treat them with regard and
wonder. 1t is this appreciation that
hes helped our art, more than any
other one thing has. The men who
harness women up with hogs will not
advance much in their art; the men
who place them where they rightfully
belong, will really progress. It's all
in the conception. Women are most
beautiful of all created things-not
women sitting on cloud, idealized by
men who think they know more than
omnipotence-but honest, living, help
ing, actual women-women such as
We have here in the United States"

not care to take on more stock at the
time.
Perhaps then another drummer will
come along and call on another mer-
chant. He hears practically the same
story: "Eufaula is dead. You cannot
make any money here, and there's no
use putting in big stock.
Then the drummers come and 60.
They naturally spread the news to the
outside world that Eufaula is a dead
place. This is the easiest outlet in
the world-through the travelling man.
"One drummer, it is said, when he
left Eufaula said what Eufau!a need
ed was million-dollar fire and hun
dred first-class funerals.
And in such manner has it been
spread around that Eufaula is a dead
town. And the merchants themselves
indirectly, are responsible.
But 1t is not so. Eufaula may not
be as progressive as some of its
neighboring towns, but again, that's
the fault of its own citizens. Business
is generally good here and scores of
people have made money in Eufaula
Hence, in order to boost Eufaula
and create different impression on
the outside world, it is up to the mer-
chants and business men among the
first things to create better impress
sion upon the strangers who come to
the city"

HOMAGE MAKES WOMEN
OF AMERICA BEAUTIFUL.


American and English women are,
think, far more beautiful than any
Others" said Charles Dana Gibson, the
famous artist. 81 suppose the French
man thinks the same of the French
woman, and so on through all the
races. But there is really, believe,
a reason why the woman of America
has reached a higher type Of beauty,
just as she has undoubtedly reached
higher mental plane, than any other
woman in the world. 1t has been the
attitude of men toward her. And in
American pictures women have been
notable because the artist has ap-
preached and treated her with an in
nate respect-with gallantry, II you
care to use the term; but with no
more than she deserves. American
men pay homage to their women
actual homage. That is true and to
their credit, but, sadly enough makes
them distinctive. Women interest
American men in right and proper
ways. Perhaps because American
women are the finest women in the
world, perhaps because our men are
the worlds best, more likely because
they are both absolutely leaders. 1t
shows plainly in the women's faces
it has had lot to do with their devel-
opment of beauty. 1t shows plainly,
but less plainly in the men. Among
animals the male has all the best of
it; more strength, more fun, more
beauty. The lion is a finer creature
than the lioness, the cock pheasant Is
gorgeous bird, the hen, brown
thing, Insignificant and humble. AMI
mails show their females small con-
sideration, savages treat them without
much respect. The Indians did not
use their pigments in painting pictures
of their squaws upon their wigwams;
they put buffalo and bobcats there.
You won't find any courtship episodes
depicted in the crude endeavors of the
primitive Apaches, you'll find hunting
scenes. Yet, surely these men pic
tured what to them seemed beautiful.
And women are not seen among the
things they pictured. The savage does
not think his woman beautiful He
thinks them useful like his other
beasts Of burden.
Respect For Women Is American.
Respect for women is really quite
American, and in that lies the secret
or, at least, good big part Of it-of
the undoubted fact that we are loom
ing large in the artistic world. Amer
leans are doing wonders In the Euro
pean schools and exhibitions and It is
owing, largely, to their respect for
women. You can see 1t in their pic
lures, Just as you see lack Of It in the
French pictures. Most Of the old fell
lows did not have It. Take Franz
Halls, for instance. He was great
painter, but he could not picture
women as American painters Of abili-
ty now picture them, because he
lacked respect for them. He had been
taught from childhood up that 1t was
the woman's place to wait upon the
man. He painted some fine pictures
Of Dutch men, but he never made a
picture of woman that made you
