apples, for Mr.. Brush did more than
give advice. He made the boy his nm
Pill and in the goodness of his kind
heart took him to his summer place in
New Hampshire, that the boy might
lose no time. Here all last summer
he painted the New England land

had in West Virginia, with his master
nearby to help and crlticise. He pro-

had come in here and there, so that
even financial success seems to have
arrived" The boys friends had look
ed forward to four or five years or
study for him, and it was little dis
concerning to find him so soon on the
road to independence. Richard Brown
has, however, no disposition to over
estimate his early success. The same
clear flame that saved him before
saves him still. He only reioices that
he is able to be independent and thai
he sees, not very far off, the possibil-
ity of helping others
It was not long after the desnerate
pilgrimage to the studio Of Mr.. Brush
that the young artist came in contact
with the National Association for the
advancement Of Colored People, and
lie members Of the society were
among his earliest friends and admir-
ers-in New-York. 1t is, therefore
the privilege Of The Crisis TO give the
hrSt public rcprCductiC., Of the work
! OF which, the critics say, so much may

may write Richard Brown frankly
since he has that heavenly gift-abil-

would alone require all his money.
He had not, indeed, considered the
matter very carefully, but this was a
shock. He had the choice Of bed
to sleep in or no food, or Of food and
no bed; naturally he bought some
thing to eat.
The first night he spent in the trains
of the elevated railroad. One can ride
q long way for five cents and he rode
the longest way three times carrying
his little bag OF clothing and his pre-
cious portfolio. At the end of each
journey the guard would yell: eli,
you there! Wake upt All OUT" and
the exhausted boy would struggle up
from his cramped corner. e.
The next ten days are good deaf
of blank to him. He remembers that
he ate buns and apples, as providing
more food for starving boy at cost
OF five cents than anything else. He
made few pennies in one way or
another, but he lived for the most
part on his two dollars. Finally he
got work house painting. He spent
every evening in the Metropolitan Mu-
scum. The pictures he found there
stirred him as nothing else had ever
done. Before the landscapes of the
French school, Rousseau and Corot
especially. he fairly worshipped. ANY
selfconceit he may have had fell away
completely before them He knew he
was only at a beginning with a long
weary road to travel .---..-.-
SO this was the history Of Richard
Brown who was Knocking at. Nj.

mr. Brush, fortunately, IS ny n:

Thus Richard Brown was able to

Principal of New State School Who
Outlines His Policies and Express

Nashville, Tenn, April 15.-Fisl1
University Is threatened with the pos
sibilHy Of another readjustment ex-
perience. The Trustees Of the insti
tuition have issued the following
statement recently:
Voted: That during the absence
of President George A. Gates from
Fisk University authority be vested
in special administration committee
consisting Of Dean H. H. Wright,
Professor c. w. Morrow and Profess
sor w. V. Metcalf."
Sometime ago President Gates was
injured in wreck on the Pennsylva-
MIA railroad while on his way to New
York to attend a meeting in the in
terest Of Fisk University. He has
been under a great strain in his eff
forts to carry the work at Fisk for
ward. 1t has tried his strength. The
injuries received in the railroad wreck
simply hurried the physical break
down and as result, Dr.. f. A. Stew
art the physician of the Fisk presi-
dent, recommended a complete relax
alton from the pressure of the work
at Fisk. DR.. Gates is really very
sick man, so it is reported. If there
Is no Improvement in his condition
there is the possibility Of his with
drawal from the work.
In the short time that DR.. Gates
has had charge Of the office as pres
ident Of Fisk University he has done
wonderful work It would be
great misfortune for the institution
TO lose him at the very beginning OF
the new era Of progress he has so
carefully, planned for Fisk, but that
is possible.
During his time at Fisk. the insti-
tuition has almost been made over
again, 1t seems. A new spirit is no.
ticeable everywhere about the univer-
sity. The student body seems. to be
always hard at work and to have 4
more serious air than formerly. All
the honored traditions of the school
have been preserved but standards In
every way have been constantly on
the rise.
The committee in charge of affairs
at Fisk is very capable one and the
institution will not suffer because of
any inefficiency on the part of the
committee appointed by the trustees
of Fisk. The work of the great school
will go forward just as before.
The many friends of Fisk in Ten
nessee and throughout the land no
doubt, join the graduates and author
tiles of the institution in the hope
that the health of President Gates
may be sufficiently restored to war
rant his return to the work of the
school auspiciousfy begun by him
two or three short years ago.

Roosevelt victories in the magiste-

ties where delegates were selected,
give the former President big bunch
on the lead for the control Of the
State Delegate Convention in May;

to the victory in Wood County a
week ago.

prtse\ in the conventions Saturday.
Outside Of the city of Huntington,

the exception Of one delegate in Bar

the President carried two OF the wards,
securing eight delegates, while Col J.
mel Roosevelt carried three wards. for
Is delegates. The final verdict Of the
county was 81 for Roosevelt and nine
for Taft --- -----.
There was considerable disorder in
the Huntington conventions, which
were not held until 8 o'clock Saturday
night. In the Second Ward the Roos.,-
welt forces scented a neat trimming
and did not enter the hall and the
Tart delegates carried off the creden-
tails.
In the Third Ward another delega-
ton of six are in dispute. In this
ward State Committeeman William F..
Hite was overpowered by the minions
or the lion hunter and FIite and his
followers left the convention. The
Roosevelt delegation has the proper
credentials.
Breach OF Party Harmony.
Fayette County was the scene of
another breach of party harmony
Wpth the exception of Quinnimont
and Fayetteville Districts, Roosevelt
swept the county. At Quinnim ont,
four Taft and one Roosevelt delegate
were sent to the State Convention
and the figures were reversed by the
District. Convention.
At Fayetteville, Samuel Dixon. q
member Of the State Committee, pre-
sided. The Roosevelt forces had slip
ped into the mountain town a large
number of voters and the Teddyites
claimed they had the. Taft supporters
outnumbered. Colonel Dixon refused
to- entertain any motion made by the
Roosevelt followers, refused a count
OF the crowd and appointed an unin-
strueted delegation of sixteen. The
Roosevelt forces took a stand at the
same place and named a delegation
OF their own and instructed them for
Roosevelt.
Fayetteville is the home of Charles

Governor, Dillon is a Roosevelt sup
