Latest Pepon Morgan by Auguse Benzieer

For years Mr. Rcn2iccr wished to do
this portrait for he felt that "A faithful
record would be held of value by the
community, and that in course Of time
IL would be regarded aS a historic docu-
ment. lie would have preferred to have
had some sittingS hut finding these to
be impossible he resolved to paint tho
picture without them. Mr., Morgan was
always chary Of sitting To- artists, but
in addition To his dislike Of sitting his
time when in America was too much
given Ia public affairs to permit of il.
For that reason he was better known to
the pubic at large in Europe than here.
In America he rushed from one COM
mltt"e meeting to another. in Italy and
France he was nj leisure, and the peo-
pie of those countries came to know
him very we'll from constantly seeing
him in the galleries and upon the public
promenades.

Santa Claus had left the home of

under the bed departed, stringing IS
feet of fuse behind him.
Fifteen minutes later the bomb ex-
ploded blowing off the legs of Mrs.
Johnson and her 11-year-old daugh-
ter, Ophelia. The house was wrecked.
In the hospital today the woman
