inspiration I'm Argentina that it has in the
Dakotas.
Buenos Ayres itself may )r may not be
worth seeing, according TO the mood OF
the observer. I am of the opinion that
most of the tourists and globe trotters
find IT worth seeing, for as rule they
stay longer than their itinerary provides
They see the capital city in the midst Of
both a physical reconstruction and what
may be called sociological transforma-
ton. A dozen years ago. after the docks
had been completed and the north and
south basins had been dredged out and
the channel Of the Plate made open for
large ships, the Argentine government
having provided for commerce. turned It's
attention 10 making a capital which would
be worthy Of the nation.
The old Spanish city had been laid out
in the convenient checkerboard fashion,
with narrow streets and without any par
ticular plan. Buenos Ayres did not have
the advantages Of preparation for being
the capital of a great nation, such as the
city Of Washington. There was no

THE FIRST SUBWAY ON THE
SOUTHERN CONTINENT.

I'm the way of physical improvement the
greatest advance is the subway, which
was opened in December-the first sub
way. l believe. OF any city I'm the South
ern Continent. II is part OF very COM
prehensive and intelligent scheme Of mu-
nicipal Improvements to relieve the CON
gestion OF street traffic. II is also signih-
cant OF the growth OF the city's popula-
ton. for the subway is planned with a
view to affording easy access TO the vari-
Gus railway stations, whose suburban
passenger traffic is growing rapidly.
From a personal point OF View, / should
say that the Buenos Ayres subway IS
also TO be commended as a refuge Tor

In danger from the surface means Of

STOCK RAISING AND SOME HIGH
PRICED BULLS.

Stock raising as a whole seems To be
profitable business. The Argentine
government lends it every possible sup
port. There is no Argentine horse book
or cattle book, such as the publication
Of the Department OF Agriculture in the
United States, which is so popular
document for distribution by Congress
men Instead there is a very compre-
hensive publication in three bulky vol
umes which includes the cattle census
Of the country and which gives very
much information about the stock rails
ing industry.
Breeding stock is appraised at high
values and Argentine stock rsisers are
not afraid To spend money in improving
the stock. Not long ago AT one of the
remates. or public auctions. which par
take Of the nature OF a national livestock
show. bull with pedigree was
knocked down for So 600 gold. The
buyer was an Italian ranchman, pre-
viously unknown. who took it all quite
as a matter Of course and explained that
he wanted 10 improve his stock. An
other bull was sold for SIS. 600, and
third one for So 1000. II was explained
that the purchaser Of the s27,0O0 animal
was "a modest farmer"

MATTERS OF ART-CONTINUED

Of moving human life. No figure any
where relieves the effect as OF a
desertlike desoation. The towns por-
trayed might be towns utterly aban-
doned. and here again experience IN
vites some checking of the artists YER
sion Of the truth. Take, for example
tho nicture Of "Sepulveda. near Sego-
via From the heights OF Segovla' III
the dead Of winter, we have looked far
over the plain upon just such scene
az Zuloaga studies in this instance. II
lis scene extraordinarily large ana
bleak. scene almost Roman IN its
mobile breadth. But all day long II IS
animated by the wsyfarer and his
beast. all day long the sun human!les
the forbdding places that abound IN
the panorama. and as twilight comes
this cold but not by any means dreary
world is romanticized with sudden
shadows. Zuloaga misses the haunting
beauty Of the landscape. But again. as
in his portrait Of the bullhghter, he
brir1zs YOU back 10 an authentic IN
spiration That moraine-like mass II
stone in he foreground Of his picture
strikes home, as the whole Segovan
landscape strikes home. with sense OF
ancient Spain, and the bare buildings
piled together on the hill above Wear
the same intensely local aspect. In
this picture and in its companion, La
Virgen de la Pena, he sombrely dram
atizes his theme Like FL Greco he
superimposes upon his realism some
thing u his own macabre taste-and,
being without the ole masters subtle,
mystical feeling. he doubles the sira-
plicity Of nature with the Fictitious de-
sign Of the theatre. Nevertheless.
something Of nature is there and we
rejoice in his pictures even while We
are constrained TO wish that what IS
good in them had been raised 20 q
higher power. II Is a testimony 10
Zuloaga's fundamental vitality that lie
thus interests even while he .repels.

HIeHBURY, CHAMBERLAlN's RED
BRICK HOME.

Nj Chamberlain home has for the last
forty years been in big red brick house
called Highbury. in the suburbs Of Bir-
mineham The principal features Of the
house are the library and the conserva-
tory. for, although Mr. Chamberlain never
went 10 college. but ended his schooling
At sixteen years Of age, he has always
been a great lover Of books and careful
student. and is as we'll read IN classic
and general literature as most university
men. The conservatory contains an un-
surpassed collection Of orchids anc rose
garden which is Mrs. Chamberlain espc-
cisl delight The house is abundanty
adorned with paintings and statuary. Of
which Mr. Chamberlain is an excellent
Judge. It is. in brief. the typical home o.
a cultured and refined yet eminenty
practical and modern man Of affairs. II

Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN IN THE HOUSE
OF COMMONS.

he seldom wore his hat IN the House
OF Commons. He never lounged IN his
seat. but always attended strictly TO
business i'm the most wideawake and en-
ergetic manner. He never wasted time
gossipug iu the lobby. He never fell
asleep in his seat. no matter how late
the hour. and he was seldom heard 10
laugh aloud though when amused his
lips curled in a most expressive smile.
When he entered business he devoted al
his attention 10 IT, When he became
Mayor Of Birmingham he gave his whole
life 10 his duties In Parliament and the
Cabinet he had few interests apart from
those Of the kingdom and the empire.
I'm this respect he differed from his
great contemporaries. Mr.. Gladstone
studied the classics. engaged i'm theoloe
ical controversies and chopped down trees.
Lord Rosebery devoted himself 10 litera-
ture and horseracing. Lord salisbury
was one OF the most accomplished and in
defatigabie scientists Of his day. Mr.. Bal
four maintained high rank az a philoso-
pher and as a golf player. None Of these
things appealed TO Mr.. Chamberlain. He
played no games. de did not ride horse
pack. He did not even walk when ne
could avoid IL. lie had no sports. no re-
laxations. no avocstion. lie was a menu

In the political and economic sense
every public man in Argentina rather
deplores the predominance of the city
over the country. IL IS much the same
story that is heard in the United States
Of the tendency TO drift to the big cities
or to stay in them The national and
provincial authorities exert themselves
strenuously TO divert the masses OF i'm
migrants to the country. but in spite OF
their efforts large numbers never get
beyond Buenos Ayres. Some day per-
haps a change viii come, for Argentina,
as an agricultural country, cannot al
ways be centred in one big city.
Camp life. as the life on the estancias,
or ranches. is called, seems to offer
many attractions. for the climate is mild
enough for the open air existence all the
year round. Some of the stock breeders
realize this and moralize on il. but most
of them insist on having city residences.

alike instinctively turned their faces i'm

sharp. clear ana cold. The hair was thick
and dark The clothing was Immaculate.
A single eyeglass set of the face, and an
orchid shone like d star or glowed like a

ate. The left arm hung at the speakers

made an occasional dramatic gesture
The speaker seldom used any notes but
kept formidable array o. documents
