ApropOS the reLrencnment of the
Pennsylvania railroad, the New York
Central Lines, the Erie and other
roads famous for mixing railroads and
politics,and the absence of retrench-
ment, accompanied by good business
on the c. e o. and some other roads
in the same territory, the following
from recent issue of Life" may be
Illuminating:
READY FOR A RAISE
From Life
The great magnate summoned his
private secretary.
Have you attended to all the in
creased prices that I ordered?"
Il have, sir"
Did you order my steel company
to ask for more steel rails and other
material that enters into railroad con-
struction?'
Yes sir. That has been provided
for
HAS it been arranged that my 10
connective works shall increase the
price Of engines and that car factories
shall increase the prices of freight
and passenger cars?"
yes sir. That is also thoroughly I'M
derstood by our different boards of
uIcCIOTb.
Have you seen to it that my coal
mines have tackled on a good round
increase in the price of coal which my
enbines burn?'
"Oh yes, We have been pushing up
the price of coal steadily
That's good. and have you ar
ranged that my lumber companies
charge me more for ties than l have
been in the habeit of paying?"
yes Your lumber companies are
charging so much for ties that your
railroad companies can hardly afford
to buy them"
That's good And, of course you
have seen to it that my banks are re-
fusing to lend money to my railroads
except at a much higher rate of inter
est than has prevailed heretofore?'
Yes sir Your banks have inform
ed your railroads that money is very
scarce and that no financing except
on short time notes at high rates of
interest"
well, then I guess we're about
ready for our next move. Have a pc

about u.s. To them, their own environment is the
very essence of commonplaceness and they can't
fathom the intent Of the tourists who pay SO
much money for the privilege of walking their
streets.
"An outdoors is Olympus" The same sun
shines here that CLOVIS upon Italy. Our skies,
too are full of dreams From this point in space
the heavens may be seen. Here, if we will but
the earth. Richmond can be Rome, if we will
but make it so. The greatness of the city Is in
the soul of it's people.
But the rank and file of us do not believe this.
We cannot be persuaded that here is that capa-
BILE of inspiring the supremest genius. We pass
up and down our streets. We drive through our
countryside. We look upon these familiar scenes.
We stand on our bridges. We sit in our parks
and we are unconscious all the while that we move
amidst perpetual romance.
It is the artists who are born to see and feel
these things. Their eyes, unlike ours, are not
beholden and they find about us here in Rich
mond materials that inspire and satisfy mans
ineradicable appetite for beauty
To visit the exhibit of Richmond views is not
to do the conventionally polite thing because the
elite are doing it; it is not to gaze few moments
at the pretty pictures as one would stare at a
curiosity in museum, it is not to pretend to be

mysteries of Bundy's genius, or Girardns or the

Every artist has what he calls his
pets, that is objects or animals which
they sketch in many positions and con-
ditions. In a painting fifty named,
"The Old Beech in Winter" Mr.. Bun
dy depicts his favor1te tree in its win
ter clothing. The dean Of local artists
has flashed upon the canvas the pic
lures Of the beeches in many climatic
conditions, but the winter scene of
the special tree is probably one of the
most realistic of his copies. The very
atmosphere of the painting is sullen-
ness, which characterizes the winter
season. The glimpse of the somber
leaden colored sky between the bare
boughs of the background trees adds
much to the conception of winter at
mosphere.
THE Duck Pond rakish, black
ish, brown sketch is one of the best
of his small paintings.
At this time Mr.. Bundy has three
canvases at the Grammercy Park
studios in Washington, D. c.. and in
tends to take the two winter scenes,
breaking Up of Winter" and Winter
on Whitewater" to eastern exhibits
following the close Of the Richmond
gallery.

Comments by the city's best art
critics. who aided in arranging the
home exhibit of artists, are that the
present display in the high school art
gallery, which opened Tuesday, is by
far the best ever collected from Rich
mond artists. 1t is the best from the
standpoint of quality of paintings and
the number of artists represented.
The exhibit will be open to the public
for twenty days.
AS usual, J. Elwood Bundy, father
of the Richmond colony of painters,
leads the list of exhibitors. He has
fifteen canvasses, the majority Of
which are winter landscapes The old
Hawkins ice pond, north of the city,
during one of its busy days, furnishes
the subject for one of his most inter-
esting and unique scenes

painted by the master artist are ones

Bundy the true conception of coloring

Heretofore Mr.. Bundy had confined
his exhibits to large paintings, but
this exhibit is marked by the introduce

the best of the smaller paintings is
the one painted while Mr.. Bundy was

Richmond and Art

The special exhibition of Richmond artists
which opened last night in the High School gal
lery is one of the most characteristic events of
the city and deserves more than passing atten-
tion 1t is owing to this annual event. more than
to anything else that Richmond has come to be
known as the art Center of America" and it is
very largely due to the energetic and persistent
labors of Mrs. M. F. Johnston that this has been
made possible to Richmond, as we'll as to her sis
ter Indiana cities which have followed her lead.
The good effects of such an exhibition can
hardly be exaggerated, either to the High School
to the community at large.
1t is of the chief functions of art to reveal
the beauty that lies hidden in familiar things
The light and glory painters canvas is not
mirage of his own fancy but the depletion of
something that really exists, albeit unnoted by
the ajority; and it is this faculty for lifting
the veil from the wealth of line and color in the
most commonplace objects that so perpetually
astonishes the laymen. 81 can't see that in this
landscape" remarked bystander to Turner, as
he watched that ustrious artist at his work.

Workingmen's Amusements.

Charles Stelzle, in the current Outlook, re-
ports the results of an investigation conoucteo

made an effort to learn how working men speno
their spare time and spare cash. The results OF
this personal investigation made of more tnan a
thousand workingmen are exceedingly Sig
nificant Since twenty-nine natlonalltles were
represented in the group, one hundred ana Sixty
four OCCUPATIONS the various religions and wage

to more than thirty-five dollars week. since
all tvpes and conditions are studied, the general
izations probably hold good of any average Amer

The motion picture theatre is the American
workineman's first choice a form OF amuse-
ment. There is no doubt" writes Mr. Stelzle
that the motion picture show IS American
most popular form of recreation Sixty per cent
of those recorded were more or less habltual at
tendants at the movies and it is suggested that
the men who work the longest hours and receive
the least wages spend most of their time IN these
shows.
The saloon the moving pictures most formld-
able rival claimed as it's regular patrons thirty

men, Here again it found that the longer

between thirty-six and forty-five years of age.
And it is the English rather than the Germans,
this investigation shows, that like the saloons
best 1t was found that of all money spent for
things other than necessaries, thirty-five per
cent goes for liquor.
Of those attending church with a degree of
regularity, it was found that those whose work
days are longest and salaries least and especial
ly such as are married, head the list. Strange to
say, the church has the weakest grip on the men
highest wage. And it is the youngsters between
seventeen and twenty four who take the least
interest in religion
Reading newspapers Mr.. Stelze declares,
occupies larger percentage of spare time than
does any other single feature and it is men in
most. The same class read twice as many books
rs the lower waged men, although these latter
spend the most time in systematic study and
patronize libraries more faithfully
The report, a whole, shows that vices in
crease in proportion poverty increases. 1t is
the most exhausted men who the most dis
spated. They take to vices in proportion as their
working and living conditions are dsagreeable.
Education and higher wages go together. And
workingmen more leisure lest they grow more
dissipated is shown by this report to be the exact
opposite of the truth.

SAGE Tea DarkenS
Hair to Any Shade
Don't stay Gray! Here's an Old
time Recipe that Anybody
can Apply.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for
restoring faded, gray hair to its nat

hair beautifully dark. glossy and
abundant. VIII anever her hair fell out
or took on that dull. faded or streak

was applied with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for 80 cen, bottle OF
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy" you will get this famous old
recipe which can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty
to the hair and is splendid for dand-
run, dry, feverish. itchy scalp and
falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
saws 1t darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell 1t

a sponge or soft brush with it and
draw this through your ha'r, taking
one strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, 1t becomes
beautifully dark. glossy, soft and
abundant.

even the men were in tears. Tho

to help was everywhere.
Friday embarked on the New Am
sterdam from Rotterdam. The crowds
were very great and all were excited
and the process very slow for the
tickets had to be examined by two
officers three times. We left during
that right and by morning we were
in the North sea. ALI during the first
two days we stopped repeatedly to
answer the challenge Of the gunboats.
We would be surrounded by four. two
on each side and the guns all pointed
toward US. At night we stopped be-
cause OF the danger OF mines, The
second day we sighted Plymouth, but
it was a troublesome matter to get
into harbor. We had to be examined
several times by British soldiers who
came on board: we had to dfsconnect
our wireless and finally to take 1t
down. At last a gunboat removed
some of the mines in the harbor and
British pilot came aboard and took
us into the harbor where we received
a number of passengers. After We got
into the open sea We saw gunboats
only at a distance until we were quite
near New York. There an American
gunboat signaled us and when we
failed to respond properly they fired
two shots as a signal for us to stop.
Our boat then turned completely
around and the CONSERVATION was
very great among the passengers for
they thought we had been ordered
back, but the matter was soon settled
and we sailed on toward home. Con-
ditions on board were very trying for
