The budding Michelangelo has pro-
duced an extremely clever portrait OF HIM
self, a glass of lemonade, a design of a
spring from his toy engine and a rose.
Although they look rather crude placed
beside the work of his more mature fell
low-members, they show that the boy has
remarkable ability.
He commenced to draw with charcoal
when he was only eleven months old. His
parents, without pushing him too fast, en-
couraged him in every way. They had
his nursery pape red in brown paper to-
certain height upon which the child ART
list could draw as much as he liked. From
charcoal he went to pencil, colored chalk
pen and ink and finally, last January, he
took up water color.
In speaking of his son, Dudley Walton
said to the writer:
The child has always been fascinated
by moving objects. He sits for long pc
RODS watching the steam issuing from a
kettle spout. The working OF a duck $
neck also attracts him. In drawing ne

sanguinary battle of Franklin the day

brought into the defenses the force with
