the white house in lite street, buiS
from the designs of his friend, L. W.
Goodwin. the architect:
THE studio was surprisingly differ
ent from the room he previously used
in Lindsay row, and entirely unlike
the studios usually occupied by other
artists. | remember a long, not very
lofty room, very light, with windows
along one side; his canvas beside his
model at one end and at the other. near
the table which he used as a palette.
an old Georgian looking glass, so ar
ranged that he could readily see his
canvas and model reflected in it Those
who used such a mirror (as he did
constantly will know that 1t is the
most merciless Of critics.
II marveled then at his eItraordi-
nary activity, as he darted backward
and forward to look at both painting
and model from his point OF view at
the extreme end of the long studio. He
always used brushes of large size with
very long handles, three feet in length,
and held them from the end with his
arm stretched to its full extent. Each
touch was laid on with great firmness,
and his physical strength enabled him
to do without the assistance Of a
maulstick. while the distance at which
he stood from the canvas allowed him
to have the whole OF large picture in
sight and so judge the correct drawing
of each touch"

New Mexico's Climate.

The other day when New Mexico
was breathing in great hogsheads
Of heavenly ether, Los Angeles re-
ported a hundred in the shade. Yet
hundreds of thousands Of people
pass through, or near, New Mexico
and go to California for the climate.
The reason for this is not hard to
find. For many miles around Los
Angeles there are splendid automo-
bile roads and the state has been
advertised by the railroads and by
the boards of trade until millions
have an idea that the Pacific coast
has the best climate in the world.
New Mexico has every reason for
attracting tourists by the thousands.
We have a most romatic history, old
buildings and pueblos that would be
capitilized by any other state at a
valuation of many millions of dol
lars. We have climate the near
est perfect that may be found any
where on the globe. We have
mountain scenery that's unsurpassed.
We have mineral springs that are
far and away better than may be
found in Colorado, or at Hot
Springs, Arkansas. Nature has
done all that she could do to make
New Mexico an ideal country for
the health seeker and the sightseer,
but man has done nothing within
the century. Albuquerque journal.

Too Many Arguments.

There are so many good logical
arguments in favor of owning

just where to start. You are near
to market, close to school and in
fact there are lots of comforts that
you'll enjoy to say nothing of the
difference in the final value of the
land. Every time farm values adj
vance, the values multiply in ratio
as the distance from town decreases
