Great Artist Poorly Paid.

The report from New York of the
sale Of the two famous portraits BY
Velasquez, the one of Philip w. and
the other Of his minister, the Grand
Duke Olivarez, brings to light the In.
teresting fact that he received ION ac-
count" the sum Of eight hundred reals
(G8) for these and one of Senior
Garciperes. At very much the same
time Van Dyck, despite highly sue
cessful time In northern Italy, was
finding to his cost that Antwerp, his
birthplace, had little liking for his
genius. In fact, we find him stating
that at one time he had a certain
fat brewer as his only patron" And
even that patron failed him, because
when It came to a matter of remuner-
alton the brewers greed shrank from
an extortlonate payment of two pis-
toles for the painting of one portrait!

RURAL PUPILS TO
GET The BENEFIT

Many boys and girls 10 the state of
Michigan were deprived Of year ia
high school because parents, guardiaas
and school officers were not familiar with
the free tuition law la which Important
changes have been made recently. In
order to secure the tLiLion it is neces.
sary for the parent, guardian or person
who stands il parental control to make
a written application to the board in the
district of which he or she is resident.
The application is to state the name of
the child for whom it is made aud must
be presented in writing on or before the
fourth Monday 10 June. 1t must be
made each year that the child desires to
attend high school situated outside Of
his own district.
When the proper application is made
The board OF district which does not
maintain high school must pay up to
$50 year to any one of the three near
est high schools, the pare pts making the
selection. The money must be paid by
the treasurer Of the district to the treas.
urer Of the high school district at any
time the latter district demands it. The
law defines high school as a graded
district maintaining twelve grades Of
work with at least two teachers devot-
ing his or her entire teaching time to
the ninth, tenth. eleventh and twelfth
grades, but also permits primary dis
trcts to pay tuition to graded schools
maintaining ten grades of work with at
least one teacher devoting his or her en-
tire teaching time to the ninth and tenth
grades. These are the only two classes
OF schools to which districts may pay
high school tuition. The districts main
tanning ten grade school do not have
to pay tuition on their own pupils until
the latter pass the tenth grade.
The students eligible for this tuition
are only those under 20 years OF age Who
have passed the eighth grade state ex.
animation conducted in each county and
secured diploma; those who passed
the eighth grade 10 graded school end
have written statement to that effect
from the uperintepdent, and those who

CAMPAIGN FORMALLY
OPENED AT DECATUR

The campaign for Woman Suffrage
has been opened in Van Buren, county.
Mrs. Varney started the ball rolling at
Decatur last week. This talented lady
has already spoken on this subject 10
several states and with her son, Charles,
will spend the summer in the work.
Following is what the Decatur Republi-
can says of the address at that place.
"The campaign for woman suffrage
was formally opened in Decatur last
Sunday evening with convincing
address by the popular minister and
public speaker, Rev. Mecca Marie
Varney OF Paw Paw.
Mrs. Varney made the plea for the
ballot for women as housewife, mother,
minister, lecturer, college graduate, club
woman and wage earner. Her subject
was "The Citizen Mother" and her text,
"Be Ye therefore perfect, even as your
Heavenly Father also is perfect"
She wants the ballot as means Of
protecting the home and children,
particularly the children, and she spoke
earnestly and eloquently OF the uplift it
would give to all humanity il woman
could have voice in shaping the govern
ment OF the country.
Rev Chas E. Varney, her husband,
was present and at the close Of her
address Mrs Varney turned to him and
asked, DO you believe that the ballot
should be given to woman" Mr..
Varney, who is not only leading
minister of the Church of Christ, but a
lecturer of well known ability, replied,
Most assurey | do" and followed with
a convincing talk.
The ladies' trio gave two selections,
one at the beginning of the meeting and
one at the taking of the collection.
Mrs. g. j. Brown introduced the speaker
in few we'll chosen remarks that left
no doubt in the minds of her audience
as to Der position 10 favor of the "yotes
for women, ct least as to some ques.

WALTON ON BIRDS SONGS
Famous Author Of 1.-THE compIeat
Angler" Appreciated Music Of
His Feathered Friends.

At first the lark, when she means to
rejoice, to cheer herself and those
that hear her, she then quits the earth
and sings az she ascends higher into
the air; AID having ended her heaven
ly employment, grows then mute and
sad, to think she must descend to the
dull earth, which she would not touch
but for necessity. Now do the black
bird and the throssel, with their melo-
dious voices, bid welcome to the cheer
full spring, and IN their fixed mouths
MARBLE forth such ditties as no art or
instrument can reach to. Nay, the
smaller birds do the like in their par
ticular seasons; as, namely, the
laverock, the titlark, the little linnet
kind. both alive and dead. But the
nightingale, another of my airy crea-
lures, breathes such sweet, loud music
out of her little instrumental throat
that It might make mankind think
miracles are not ceased. He that at
midnight, when the very laborer sleeps
securely, should hear-as l have very
often-the clear airs, the sweet
descants. the natural rising and fall
ing, the doubling and redoubling Of
her voice, might well be lifted above
earth and say:
Lord, what music hast thou pro-
vided for the saints in heaven, when
thou affordest to bad men such music
upon earthl"-Izaak Walton's "The
Compleat Angler"
