FINE LANDSCAPE BY BAKER
A Richmond Artist Who Produces but Little and Still
Paints with All the Eclat of the Moderns-
Why Not Endow People?

It's too bad that the people who
like certain things can't have them.
The cult of everlasting self-denial
as protector toward spiritual exalta-
ton is obnoxious and based on false
premises of the meaning of life.
Nothing is so degenerating as pow
erty.
Poverty never made anyone better,
nobler, more contented.
1t pinches the intellect and the soul
as we'll as the body.
Poverty is vicious in it's effect and
operation.
Wealth may enervate but poverty
destroys.
There is another cult which says
that we are put into the world to
enjoy ourselves.
That the highest point in ethical de-
velopment for both the individual and
society is reached in the attainment
of this end
And, it's plausible enough, to the
ordinary mind.
It. stands to reason that if every
individual entity is enjoying life, ev-
cry other must.
The fine point at which the logicians
split, however, is on the quality of
the enjoyment.
| Although the promoters of this cult
have their own system about which
you can inform yourself by reading
after its opponents.
/ 1t entails a certain spiritual, as we'll
as physical development, which would
insure discrimination in enjoyment.
And humanity rs not yet reached a
| level where ever one is alike deveL
oped.
So that the enjoyment of the one
fellow must be at the expense of the
others
This you see everywhere.
The wealthy buy their enjoyment
at the expense of the poor.
| The naturally sunny-tempered at
that of the pre-destined crouch.
The master at that of the servant
| The selfish wife at the expense of
her husband.
The brutal husband at that of the
self-immolating wife
| Little children must suffer for the
sins of self indulgent parents.
The virtuous for the vicious.
For he who buys his happiness at
the expense of another cannot know
what enjoyment is.
To say that you will be happy
whether or no is to say that which is
impossible And at which the gods
laugh.
! The truth is that happiness is not
positive. But negative. We are hap
by because of the absence of some
thing, not in it's presence.
Misery is the only positive thing il
the universe.
All else is relative.
will you please tell me-" said the
man at the next desk, what you are
driving att"

boy brings my umbrella and over

CLEVELAND, Aug. 14.-Johnny
Dundee of New York and Matt Brock
of this city fought II rounds in the
Luna Park arena last night to draw.
Both Toys fought like wildcats all the
way During the opening round and
in fact up to the closing round, Dun
dee had the better of the milling. In
the last one, however, Brock made a
whirlwind finish and clearly earned
the right to an even break. Dundee
was much the more clever at long
range while Brock did his best execu-
ton at infighting.
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.-Billy Gibson,
of the Garden A. c., and Jimmie Nc
Mahon, of the st. Nicholas A. c., rival
New York promoters, both arrived in
Chicago today in an attempt to sign
Jack johnson for Labor day bat
tie.
Little Artha declared last night that
he was not particularly interested in
which one got to him first. Both pro
moters looked alike to him, he said
being perfectly willing to box for eth
err or both provided they met his
price.
While the promoters are here they
will endeavor to sign Packey McFar
land and Adolph Wolgast for ter
rounds in New York on October 8
AID is to meet the promoters here.

Mr.. George H. Baker, of this city, has
had a small canvas on display in the
windows of the Starr Piano Company
recently which, within certain con-
fines, illustrates the foregoing.
1t is small landscape painted north
of town. In treatment it is as fresh
and crisp as May morning In color
glowing and harmonious, in compost
ton we'll balanced, in perspective with
out flaw and in pictorial value, charm
ing.
But it is in it's manner that 1t is in
teresting.
For although this artist is without
training and has had few opportuni.
ties for observation or experimental,
ton, he is still painting with all the
breadth, freedom and naturalness of
the ultra-modern school.
A school highly sophisticated through
study and experiment.
While not pointellist, as is Childe
Hassam-one of Americas greatest
present day landscapists-this small
picture by Baker is reminiscent of the
more celebrated artists manner OF
treatment.
Mr.. Baker, is, indeed, one of the
most gifted of the Richmond artists
who have attracted local attention
within the past few years.
He has a vigor and a dashing use
of his medium, oil, which might be
envied by many an artist who has
achieved distinguished reputation. And
it is a regrettable fact that his for
tunes have not enabled him to devel
op talent which should give its pos
SCISSOR distinction.
People should be endowed
If a man fabulously rich, or ever
decently so. would look about him he
could expend his superfluous monies
to no better advantage than in endow
ing individuals whose talents might
add to the pleasure and profit of so
ciety but which could not be develop
ed through any other agency

good in this way than by building hos

Proof Positive.

Proof positive.
Arthur Lefevre, the author, told this
story Of a happening at the Univer-
sity Of Virginia during his student
days in 1884:
There was a Baltimore freshman at
the university whose father got sew
eral letters about his boys wild ways
about his fondness for peach and
honey and such-like heavy drinks.
These letters gr1eved the old man to
the heart. He wrote to the freshman
and in reply got general denial Of all
the charges.
Evidence, however. continued to
pour in, and finally the father decided
on a secret journey to Charlottesville.
He timed himself to arrive late at
night. 1t was, in fact, O'Clock in the
morning when he rang the bell Of his
sons boarding house.
In response to his ring a woman in
a yellow bath robe appeared. lamp in

Chi0eee Aumor.


In his book on China and the Chi

Chinese humor which, If the source
were not known, might well be mis-
taken for American humor.
There is Chinese story which tells
how very stingy man took a paltry
sum of money to an artist-paymenti is
always exacted in advance-and asked
him to paint his portrait The artist at
once complied with the request, but
when the portrait was finished nothing
was visible save the back Of the dt-
ter's head.

sitter Indignantly.

Gus, had the assurance of number
of leading democratic senators given
privately and on the floor OF the SEN
ate, that they only desired a day or
two's postponement, when they would
see that the resolution was taken up
