a primitive Painter.

Henri Rousseau, a man who used to
hold minor government position In
France, was for a quarter Of a CEN
tury the joke Of artists and art students
in Paris For years In the independ-
ent salon he showed daubs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some of his famous" pictures
were Lady on a Sofa In Jungle"
a Tiger In a Jungle" a 'sNigger In a
Jungle" He affected jungIes. which
consisted of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
a painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as if she had come out of a Noah's
ark The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort OF work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity.
Sinister humOrists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. '1 am a real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length of buying his pictures

REV. DIR. RICE Is
HEARD BY MANY
HIS DISCOURSE AT CALUMET M.
e. CHURCH LAST NIGHT A
RARE PLEASURE TO
AUDIENCE.

The large audience which attended
I'm the First Methodist church last
evening by Rev. DR.. NJ. S. Rice of Du-
luth, were well repaid. DIR. Rice more
than sustained the reputatin that had
preceded him of being a pulpit orator
of rare power and charm. In fact. he
is magnetic and his discourse upon a
subject which he has designated as
"The Devil Take the Hindmost" was
stirring, forcible and eloquent to a
high degree.
1t might be said that it was a trum-
pet call to all that is best and Chris
tianlike in mankind and was at the
same time thrilling and earnest APP
peal for every man to help every other
man in order that there shall be no
hindmost for the devil to take.
DIR. Rice at the outset of his talk
stated that he is not a lecturer in the
accepted definition of the word, but
that he is first of all a preacher with
a message to deliver and 1t is his pur-
pose to deliver that message whenever
and wherever the opportunity offers.
While treating his subject i'm all Sc
robustness, Rr. Rice INDUCED in a num-
her of pointed witticisms and showed
possession of a well developed sense of
humor by occasionally telling a hui
morous story that served to illustrate
his thought or more forcibly empha-
size the point he wished to make His
character as to fairly convulse his au-
ditors with merrment and yet made
them more fully realize the meaning of
the ideas being suggested.
