WONDERFUL PAINTING
At BLUE GRASS FAIR
THE Shadow Of the Cross" Is
on Farewell Tour.

The Shadow OF the Cross" the
famous unexplained painting OF
Christ, will be one OF the special at
fractions at the fair this year. Many
inducements were offered by the fair
MANAGEMENT before they could secure
this famous work of art for the fair
this year. Knowing that this will be
the last year for public exhibition OF
the painting they decided that 1t must
be obtained at any cost, so that the
patrons Of the fair should have a last
opportunity to view II before II goes
into retirement.
The picture was painted in 1896 by
Henry Hammond Ali, an American
artist. Mr.. Ahl,. desiring to excel In
the production OF an ideal OF the
Christ, spent many weary months try
ing to attain his ideal OF the Christ.
man; he did not succeed and the can
vas became a source of worry and
vexation to him. A well known lee
turer on religious subjects became In.
terested In the artists work and tried
to make him understand his realiza-
ton Of Christ as revealed In a dream.
Not long afterwards the artist was
impressed with the idea sought after
and painted the wonderful counter.
ance seen on the canvas. He sent for
the lecturer friend and on entering
the studio the lecturer exclaimed.
Now you have painted Christ as ]
saw him In my dream"
A few nights later Mr.. Ali had oc-
casion to go to his studio and was as
tonished to find that his painting
could be seen in the dark, the Christ
appeared to be walking In a pale
moonlight, while above and behind
the figure was a black cross. His first
impression was that the moon was
shining through an open window AMI
that the cross was a shadow, but upon
closer inspection he found that
strange phenomenon had taken place
as he had had no idea OF a cross in
painting the picture. and he had used
only well known pigments.

MEMBER OF
ECONOMY OF LIFE.

In every field we are teaching and
practicing economy except one, and
that is the most important Of all.
We eliminate waste In manufactur-
ing but we do not eliminate waste Of
human beings.
We teach conservation Of everything
but life.
Recently Chicago park policeman
saw a ragged. hstless. coatless and al
most shoeless small boy watching q
squirrel burying peanuts.
whats your namer queried the
policeman.
Bernard Rogers" sobbed the boy,

peanut over by that tree. Can l have

Most policemen have hearts, and this
one was no exception. He bought the
boy a bag Of peanuts. which were eat
en- ravenously He then took him
home and afterward reported that
there was not a bite to eat In the
house.
This lad, IL he lives, will be future
citizen. Aside from the brutal inhu-
mainly Of allowing him TO starve In a
land Of abundance think Of the unwis-
dom Of II from a public standpoint!
The pity Of II is that his is only one
case out Of multitude.
OF those who survive many are
stunted In mind and body. Others are
criminals. having learned to steal out
Of their dire necessity Still others
are filed with hatred against society.
Aud who can blame them?
Is 1t not time to conserve the chill

This wonderful age of progress has
transformed the physical world. Can

world1

the state Of New York examined child
labor conditions. It found tots Of ten
years working from twelve to sixteen

srs even younger wearing out their

point can we not eliminate this waste
of our future men and women?
Fathers and mothers, these little
