'sDo the natives take an interest IN music
And what are their chief musical instruments
Mr. Barnes was asked
They are very happy, eare-free people, ana
as such much enjoy and produce music The or
chestra as shown in this picture is known as the
Orchestra of Kabaha. Each man plays separate
note in turn and it is astonishing how melod'ous

are made out of the choicest ivory and are much
valued nv the natives These musicians did not
like to be photographed while they were playing
Wo had TO entertain them first with toys and by
means of slight hand tricks. All these they
attributed to supernatural power. But the most
amusing things were done when We tried to re-

old man allowed his voice to be recorded but ne
returned early the next morning much disturbed
and wished it returned to him. He thought we

Charles S. Osborne of Boston. col
ored porter employed by the Oakland
Motor Car company. has Just finished
portrait OF Cardinal O'Connell, which
In many ways proves the ability of the
artist. The picture and the wood
carving In the frame that encloses 1t,
and the pedestal on which 1t stands,
required eight weeks to finish.
The accomplishment Is the more
striking In that Mr.. Osborne can de-
vote only part Of his spare time, about
two hours a day when there is day
light, to the practicing of his favorite
recreation and prospective life work.
When his duties as porter are over at
five o'clock in the afternoon he ha-
stems to his little room, which is a
studio as well, and while the light is
good paints or does charcoal draw

Cardinal O'Connell's portrait, which
Is done in oil, was painted from a re-

ton photographer, and is 20 by q

carved replica OF Florentine cathedral
windows is an angel, one holding a
harp and the other n bugle. On the
base OF the frame is carved a wreath
of red roses, harmonizing with the car
dinaPs cape. The work of Mr.. Os-
borne is a triumph over difficulties,
for practically all OF the carving was
done with Jackknife
Mr.. Osborne was born in Savannah.
Ca, In 1870, and spent the first 20
years of his life In the South. He
worked with carpenters and learned
panelling and moulding, but all the
while he fostered a strong desire to
become a painter He used to draw
In the sand with pointed sticks and oc-
casionally procured little crayon.
Feeling that there was larger oppor-
tunity in the North, he came to Boston
in 1891. and while working as a por-
ter went to the evening school OF the
Boston Art club. There he received
instruction in charcoal drawing from
Ernest Major.
Later he studied water colors un-
der Miss Agnes Leavitt, an artist In
Copley square For several years after
that he kept up his artistic endeavors
alone. money not being very plentiful
He disposed Of quite n number of
paintings in this period. and with the
proceeds he was enable to go to the
drawing school OF Eric Pape in 1911,
studying there three years. Much of
his spare time has been spent In visit
ing art exhibitions and in the art de-
partmeEt OF the Boston city library.
Mr.. Osborne has sold a number Of
outdoor sketches and portraits done
from life. He considers his best work
to be the Oriental Dancing Girl"

six months to complete and which is
now on exhibition at the Boston City
club After a rest of two weeks he
