VETERANS HAVING
 GRAND OLD TIME
Misses Greeted Address of Governor Hooper, but Were Quickly Drowned by Applause
 Thousands Pouring In.

Chattanooga, Tenn, May 27.- Eloquent addresses, spectacular pa rades and scores of social enter tainments in honor of veterans and maids of honor, characterized the opening day of the 23rd annual 1 United Confederate Veterans Re- union in this city. The only dis cordant note was sounded at the first business session of the veter- ans, when hisses, finally drowned out by cheers. slightly delayed Governor Ben w. Hooper of Ten nessee ill delivering his address of welcome. The Tennessee executive, who is said to have been the first Republican to welcome a reunion of Confederate veterans, disregarded the disturbance, and was given an ovation at the conclusion of his re- marks.
 Throughout the day the influx of visitors continued Every train ad- ded hundreds to the thousands al- ready in the city. Despite the cool weather, hundreds of sponsors rep resenting every division in the Con- federate army, participated in the parade this afternoon. In filmy gowns and laces, they were driven in automobiles along the principal streets of the city. Thousands wit messed the pageant.
 General Sennett H. Young, com mander-in-chief of the United Con- federate Veterans, and Governor Hooper, with their staffs, reviewed the parade from an official stand erected at General Young's head quarters. The aged veterans who thrOnged the streets appeared to enjoy the display immensely. As each automobile passed, filled with beautiful women and girls, the vet erans leaned over the restraining ropes along the streets, waved their hats and threw kisses to the south ern beauties. These in turn ac- knOwledged the greetings and toss ed flowers to the soldiers. The re- view today of the eleventh United States cavalry furnished a novel spectacle to many visitors who had never witnessed a similar demon- stration. More than a thousand cavalrymen and officers cantered through the city and passed in re- view before General H. Young, and scores of sponsors, maids and ma irons of honor. All the officers sa- luted the grey-haired veteran com manderin-chief as they passed, and the regimental band played Dixie .'
 Business sessions were held in the morning and afternoon by both the United Confederate Veterans and the Sons of Veterans. The lat ter elected William w. Old, Jr., of Norfolk Va, to succeed J. P. Nor fleet of Memphis as commander-in- chief. The new commander is the son of William w. Old of Virgiania, who served on the staff of General Early in the Valley campaign. and with General Ed Johnson. Invita- lions were rendered to the sons to hold their 1914 reunion by members of the organization from Denver. Colo. and Birmingham, Ala. The sons reunion will be held in the city chosen by the United COnfed- | crate Veterans.

NENA SALOONS
 ON PROBATION
Judge Martin Decides to Allow Them to Continue Business Sub feet to Good Behavior
 - =
 History of Case.

Three of the four saloons in Mena, threatened with having their licenses revoked, will be allowed to continue business subject to good behavior and the will of County Judge w. N. Martin. The fourth has been taken in charge and closed by creditors.
 This is a reversal of the action taken about two weeks ago, when Judge Martin revoked the licenses of E. R. Lyman and Britt Allen, holding the latter in abeyance, however, until the Ben Strauss and Ernest Hopper cases were finally acted upon. These were given hear ings Thursday and Friday morn ing, at the close of which Judge Martin told the saloon men that if he could have refunded their li- cense money he would have re- voked the licenses of each and all, but since he could not, and the evil dence did not clearly show that the violations, the selling to minors, were done Intentionally to revoke the licenses without refunding the money would be a penalty out of proportion to the offense. Having made this decision in the cases of Strauss and Hopper he then sus- pended the writ revoking Britt AL lens license on the same grounds.
 In dismissing the cases Judge Martin took occasion to warn them to conduct model saloons and to allow no lettering, drunkenness or rowdyism around their several places of business.

After a hard-fought battle of nearly eight weeks, Judge Martin decided that a majority petition against license had not been pre- sented, and issued four saloon li- censes about the middle of last January. In doing so he speciflcal- ly stated that for certain offenses, including wilful selling to minors, he would revoke the licenses. Each
 saloon keeper was convicted in the recent term of Circuit court of sell ing to minors, which caused them to be called before the county court with the above stated result.

When Rembrandt painted the most
famous of all his works, the picture
commonly known as "The Night
Watch" which hangs in the Royal
Museum at Amsterdam, it caused him
| a vast amount of trouble. There are
upward Of score OF portraits in the
big canvas, and each man contributed
the same amount to pay for it. Ma
turally each wanted to be quite as
prominent as his fellows, and those
who are shown in the background
made tremendous row because the
artist dared to group his figures with
the thought of art composition, rather
than of their Importance.
| Really it is not night scene at all.
Sir Joshua Reynolds is responsible
for this misstatement, being deceived
by Rembrandt's originality in hand
ling light and shade. 1t shows the
gathering of the civic guard of Am
sterdam at the sound of the drum
calling them to practice.
Rembrandt was one of the few mas
ters Of painting who had an oppor-
tunity to be extravaganza He spent
lavishly, and gave away money with
equal Indifference. He paid outrage
GUS prices for pictures, when he
should have paid his debts. Like most
| great geniuses Of art, he died poor anG
neglected.
His real name was Rembrandt Har.
manzoon van Rim, and he was borr
at Leyden in 1907, the son of we'll.
to-do miller.
He was his own teacher. In his
early days in Leyden, Rembrandt
painted and etched the people about
him, seeking character and the pic.

For truth of character Frans Halls
was the greatest painter that ever
lived; but it took the world an inter-
minably long time to discover it. A
hundred and twenty years after his
death one of his great portraits
brought only $1.25 at sale. He was
an aristocrat by birth and disreput-
able by choice. Members of his fam
lily we're burgomasters, treasurers,
and aldermen of Harlem for nearly
three hundred years. Frans and his
brother Dirk were frequenters of the
lowest taverns, and this is about all
we know of him from the time he was
born in 1880 until he was married at
the age Of thirty-one.
Upt to the time he was thirty-three
there is nothing to show that Frans
Halls produced anything worthy of at
tention; but he evidently worked to
some purpose. His amrvelous capac-
ity for catching an expression on the
instant brought him many patrons.
1t was just about that time that the

"The laughing Cavalier" is the
most famous and best liked Of the
paintings of Frans Halls. And the
Cavalier himself is most familiar too,
in glance, in manner, in bearing. No
one can resist the bold challenge OF
those mischievous eyes, the full, life
loving lips. He swells with wonder
full conceit in himself and cherry
disdain Of the world in general. 1t
is altogether marvellous study of ex-
preston. In 1855 Sir Richard Wal
lace gave $4,000 for the portrait. The
Harlem collector, who had owned it,
paid $400 for it. It's value now would
probably be in the hundred thousands.

His methods were original during
his whole career Sometimes he would
take the handle of the brush and drag
1t oyer the fresh paint to give the
touch he wanted to the hair or the
beard. Sometimes he would scoop up
thick layers Of paint with the palette
knife and stick them on the canvas.
Rembrandt developed slowly; but at
twenty-five he painted the wonderful
Lesson in Anatomy" in which is
shown the anatomist Tulip and his
seven associates, life size.
He was then recognized as the fore
most portrait painter of Amsterdam.
When he was twenty-seven Rem
brandt married rich and beautiful
fair-haired Friesian girl named Sas-
kia. For eight years his wife was the
center of Rembrandt's life and art,
and her face appears on many of his
canvases. These were happy years
for Rembrandt. He entertained Law
ishly; but in spite of many distrac-
tons he worked with great energy. No
fewer than 700 of his paintings and
etchings have been catalogued
After the death of his wife evil days
came. When he was forty-nine years
old everything that Rembrandt owned
was sold to meet his debts. He was
turned out of his house, without
friends, with little more than the
clothes on his back. He whom the
world has called the king of Shad
ows" entered into the gloom of pow,
erty. But still he worked until he
died at the age of sixty-two, alone
and neglected.
"The Glider" painted in 1910, wa:
