POSED AS MODEL FOR SALOME

father, fine looking man. was a hum'
BILE bee keeper. Nature, though she
had given the child little wealth in
money, had endowed her with Jet
black hair, beautiful brown eyes and
exquisite teeth.
"One Christmas eve when she was
only twelve years old a French scuip-
tor named Renaudot saw her in st.
Peters and was struck with her beau.
ty Some time afterward he met her
in the country riding on a donkey be.
hind her father. That decided him;
he introduced himself to her family
and fell hopelessly In love.
when the girl was fifteen years
old his friend Henri Regnault made
the beauty's acquaintance and asked
her to sit to him as Salome. The pic
ture finished, he migrated to Spain
and Morocco and finally met his death
fighting in the war Of 1870.
"Renaudot had also left Rome to
take part in the war, in which he
greatly distinguished himself, and on
peace being signed he hurried back
to Rome to marry Maria Latini. She
was then seventeen years old and he
was thirty-six."
Renaudot's health did not permit
him to pursue his career as an artist
for many years after this. His last
work was a Diana the Huntress,
now at the Palais Bourbon. But de
spite the anxiety his weak health
gave his wife, 1t was she who was th'

expenses for three years and the uni
versity will be ready to start its cam
paign for a N,00O0 endowment fund at
the close OF a pending brief campaign for
money TO build and equip a new gym
nasium.
The $1,000 fund is TO cover current eX-
penses OF the university up to September,
1914. and II was raised that its board Of
trustees and friends might have three
years without any worry on account OF
a possible budget shortage to raise the
proposed ,l,oooooo. The treasurer OF the
school now holds either cash or special
subscription notes for the entire amount
Raised In Six Months.
The canvass began on August 10. 1911.
the people Of Omaha having subscribed
5000 In less than six months. The larg-
est contributor was George A. Joslyn
who gave sl.5Oo. The first plan was to
secure 1oc subscriptions, each for 500 a
year for three years. but this was modi-
fled because OF Mr. Joslyn's large gift
and In order to accommodate some who
wanted TO subscribe but did not feel able
TO give 800. As the plan was worked
out eighty-two subscriptions at 500 year
were made and thlrty-six at SO year
Charles A, Alden. business manager Of
the university, says that all declinations
to subscribe TO the fund, with one or two
exceptions, were based on present condi-
tions Of personal finances.
The work has but Just begun" he
said. but II the people continue to re-
spond az they have so far II will be but
& short time. comparatively. before the
university is provided with suitable and
adequate buildings and sufficiently en-
dowed so that II will be unnecessary to
appeal TO the public for further eontribu-
tions.

There is no reason why the University
Of Omaha should not have student
