This Annual Disposal Of
Framed Paintings Spells
Opportunity to the Art Lover

Not only for the collector, but for those who merely love
pictures" this annual disposal of imported paintings possesses
great significance. For 1t runs the gauntlet of popular themes
and offers many charming treatments Of sea and meadow, farm
and street.
There are quaint gIimpses of foreign villages; sparkling bits
of life caught In the city street; glowing bits of landscape, and
the homely scenes of farm life which are close to everybodys
heart.

reputation abroad And all are framed in a way that best brings

New York, Dec. 9.=There was no
marked change today in the condition
of W. E. D. Stokes, although it is said
he had passed a restful night. 1t is
doubtful that he will be able to attend

he charges with trying to kill him
when it is resumed on Monday The
trial adjourned yesterday afternoon,
with Miss Lillian Graham under cross
examination on the stand where she
spent most of the day telling her

TO MAKE new PARK
Colorado to Be Scene of New Govern
Inent Reserve.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The establish
ment of a national park in Colorado,
totally different in character. it is
said, from any existing park. and
much closer to the center of popula-
tion than any of the present reserva-
tiOns, is recommended in a number
of letters received by Secretary of the
Interior Fisher.
1.-The general idea of having a large
park at or near the place proposed
appeals to me personally" said Secre-
tary Fisher today, but before such
action is taken it would be necessary
to have an examination made of the
territory. Therefore it would be neces-
sary to submit the matter to congress
as the department has no available
money even for the survey"
The park as proposed would include
an area of about 100000 acres. Por-
tions of Grand. Jackson, Larimer and
Boulder counties would be included
and the park would take in Longs
Peak, Grand lake and the canyons of
the Big Thompson river.
