Among the painters friends was a
wealthy man who wanted to appear a
patron of art and at the same time
keep his money He managed this by
loudly admiring the paintings already
sold. He was always a bit too late to
buy the pictures that pleased him
most, and having seen them. as he was
wont to declare. he could never coatent
himself with less beautiful works.
De Whit at last suspected the mans
sincerity, and when the next show day
came round he concluded to test him
After plenty Of time had been allowed
for De Wint's friends to make their
purchases the rich man arrived. AS
usual, his eye soon fell on two per

the artist, he said: Now, De Whit.

.FLOCkMiSTERS WANT
 LOWER GRAZING FEES
Held Conference Yesterday With Some of the Forest Re-
 serve Officials

A number of the sheepmen of the state, including Hugh Campbell, pres ident of the Wool Growers associ- ation. were in conference here yes rerdav with Arthur C. Ringland [" Albuquerque district forester, and Charles IT Hnderer of Prescott. for est supervisor The matter under consideration was that of the grazing fees on the forest reserves. which by the order of the secretary of agricul- ture have ben raisd about 20 per cent his year all over the country. The Sheepmen say the range conditions this season are so unusually bad that if the higher fees are eXactcd it will spell heavy losses, and a request has been made that the fees be left where they were lasl year. so far as Arizona is concerned
 Messrs. Ringlanl and Hnierer were taken to Cave Creek and vicin- ity yesterday and had previously looked over the country between Con gross and Phoenix where many sheep are usually wintered. The ranges are bare and it is said not a range sheep will be sheared in this county this year where generally hundreds of thousands receive their annual trim ming. Today or tomorrow they will look over the ranges in Yavapai county outside the reserves.
 When questioned last evening the gentlemen said they were fully con- vinced of the severity of conditions under which the sheepmen are oper- ating this year and will gladly grant the request for the lower fees if they can do so but must first consult the department. The order was made general and whether the department will make an exception of Arizona. remains to be seen.

WOULD END MEXICAN TROUBLE
Foreign Minister to Be Invited to
Participate in Negotiations.

When Senior Lascurain. the Mexican
minister for foreign affairs, reaches this
city he will be invited to enter at once
into the negotiations in progress between
the United States and Mexico regarding
the situation on the border, and the gen.
orally unsatisfactory condition of Amer
lean and other foreign interests in Mex
leo.
Last September Secretary Knox adj
dressed to the Mexican foreign office
strong protest against the continuance of
the conditions that had characterized the
ng-draWn-Out rebellion. There was an
insistent request at that time for infor-
nation as to what steps were to be taken
by the Mexican government to terminate
these conditions.
The Mexican governments reply to that
inquiry is said not to have been of
character to satisfy the Washington gov
eminent that adequate measures have
been taken to bring the rebellion to an
end and relieve the great foreign business
interests in Mexico from the harassment
to which they have been subjected Tor
nearly two years.
