PAINTER IN HIS OLD AGE
ton With His Landscapes Done In
Water Colors.

Rear Admiral Charles Henry Davis,
who retired from active service in the
United States navy four years ago,
has thirty-two paintings on exhibition
In the Corcoran Art gallery at Wash
ington, d. c., which is one of the fin-
est public galleries in America and
one In which the knights of the pal
cite and brush consider 1t quite tri-
umph to have their pictures exhibited.
To singular genius he has added
painstaking industry, and has pushed
himself up into an enviable place
among the best landscape painters in
water colors in this country
At time in life when he was sup
posed to have finished his mission,
and to be allowed to go back and sit
down In corner and be very still,
the old hero of the Civil war and
Spanish-American war appears as vir-
lie in his intellect as he was at thirty,
and has become a master of art, rev.
cling In a realm of beauty, and trans
ferring the beauty from his own soul
to canvas, to delight and bless his fell
lows. What beautiful example this
grizzled old veteran and this delicate
artist set to old men who think there
is nothing left for them to do.-The

was paid ten cents week to feed and
care for the flock, two bags of ready
mixed food were bought and the result
OF the venture was not only all the
eggs the young lady needed and sup
ply for the family, but there was q
surplus which found a ready market
at the corner drug store. bringing ten
