TIE INDEPENDENTS.

4 wear ago. when New York was pro-
vjded with an exhibition OF works by
number of painters and sculptors call
ing themselves independent ARTISTS
the contributors were said to have paid
for their wall space and thereby 10 nave
got the privilege Of hanging what they
chose. The catalogue ran to about SIX
hundred numbers. This season kin
dred affair has been organized, similar
and vet very different. At the gallery
Of the Society of Beaux-Arts Architects
there NAV be seen what the catalogue
Describes as "An Independent Exnlpi-
tion of the Paintings and Drawings Oh

not by any means one OF full rouhoeu
nerfection. Human nature. we dare say
,s about the same among the indepen-
dents as among the artists supposed 10
he antithetical to them. 10 1udge from
the talk Of the academicians, VINO are
forever pleading for big new exhiDi-
ton building, there is something talls-
manic about mere space These lnde-
pendents are evidently of the same opin-
ion. Having got a roomy loft to them
selves. they have hung one hundred and
seventv paintings and drawings where
q small fraction of that number would
have better served their purpose we
nav them the compliment of assuming

ness, the doughty twelve are not op-
pressively rich. Indeed there are some

fifteen pieces. and with the best will in

thc spectator still in doubt. Six times
Mrs Alfred Maurer addresses himself to
us As a painter OF still life and it is six
times in vain. Mr.. Maurice Prendergast
has something about him suggestive of
g style in process of formation, but,
though he. too, is voluminous, we leave
his pictures unconvinced. With Mr..
John McPherson's round dozen of land
sCapes we have no better luck. De-
cidedly, the availability of plenty of wall
space does not necessarily spell a be-
guiing exhibition.
1t all comes back to a question Of good

yourself an independent does not make

salience. Mr.. George b. Luks has genu-

Abe Strings His Townsmen.

Abe Weinberg of Galesburg, the

Saturday to Tuesday looking over
his interests. Abe has told the
natives of Galesburg so many hunting
stories-he has strung them to such
an extent-that they believe be is a
wonder in bringing down big game.
He has taken home numerous bears,
wolves, wildcats and deer to prove the
truth of his assertions, while, as a
matter of fact, he would take to his
heels we're one of the above animals
to appear surreptitiously as he
strolled through the woods. II told

had the deer all right, but he of course
obtained it from one of his friends.
We are compelled to admit that Abe
has a host of friends here. When
asked how he would manage to
smuggle it out Of the state he re-
marked, "That's the easiest part of
it, and then he told US. But we are

.. J.. Barnes Writes the Union.
We are in receipt of q letter from
our old friend, G. L. Barnes Of James,
VILE, Wis.,, who was at one time but
termaker at the Bridgeman & Russell
creamery in Princeton. Mr.. Barnes
says he was right in the midst of the
cyclone of which the Union of
November 16 gave short account.
A new school house which stood close
to his home was literally torn to
pieces. His barn and ice house, near
the creamery, we're reduced to match
wood, the smokestack of the creamery
was blown away and the chimneys and
roof of his dwelling house. How any,
thing could have withstood that
tornado, says he, is miracle. The
wlndstorm swept over an area of a
quarter of mile wide and Is miles
long. Nineteen persons were killed
and many injured. Mr.. Barnes, his
son and daughter we're not at home
when the tornado struck their house
and consequently escaped injury.
Upon their return they found their
span of mules still standing on the
site where the barn used to be and
they we're unscratched Mr.. Barnes
loss is about $500, and he says the
weather is so cold that building can
be carried on Onlv with difficulty.
He, his son, Ray, and daughter,
Laura, ask to be remembered to their
Princeton friends through the medium
of the Union.

The hardest test is the test of time,

can hardly ask for stronger proof
than the following:
Mrs. S. Harrington, Princeton,
MIMI, says: "About two years ago
my kidneys began to act sluggishly.
My back panied me almost constantly
and my head never ceased to ache. I
did not rest well, had poor appetite
and was nervous. My mother finally
got a box of Doan's Kidney Pills for
me and after using them short time,
l was entirely relieved" (Statement
given in September, 1907
AFTER THREE YEARS.
Mrs. Harrington was interviewed on
