Gilbert Stuart.

Gilbert Stuart (1755-1S2S) was born
IN Narragansett, II. l., the son Of a
snuff-grinder. At the age OF fifteen,
without any instruction whatever, he
began to paint portraits that attract
ed the attention of young Scotch
artist named Alexander, who took him
to Scotland in 1872. In 1774 he re-
turned to America, where he re-
NAMED for a year. He went back to
London IN ITS, and for short time

in that city. In 1778 ne entered the
studio of Benjamin West as a pupil

and remained working there for some
years. lie came back to this country

He Knew Their Weakness.

During the reign of Louis XIV OF
France the light chaise came into fash
ion, and great ladies of Paris were ac-
customed to drive in them about the
city. But beautiful hands are not al
ways strong ones; accidents began to
occur more and more frequently in the
streets. Consequently. says Das Buch
fuer ALE, the king besought the min
lister of police to do something, since
the lives of pedestrians were constant
ly in danger.
81 will do whatever is in my power
replied the police minister Your
majesty desires that these accidents
cease entirely?"
The king replied, Certainly"
The next day there appeared royal
ordinance that ordered that, in the fu'
ture, ladies under thirty years of age
should not drive chaises through the
streets Of Paris. That seems a mild
restriction; but it is said that scarcel5
a woman from that time on drove her
own chaise. The police minister knew
that few women would care to adver'
tise the fact that they were over thirty
and that the rest would probably be
too old to drive, anyway.

AMATEURS WITH THE CLUBS
Themselves Fail to Shine on
the Golf Links.

Some time ago at a luncheon at
Delmonico's there were gathered Bob
Davis of Munsey's, Irwin Cobb and
Sam Blythe Of the Saturday Eve
ming Post and Herbert Corey, relates
Vanity Fair.
An argument arose as to whether
Cobb or Corey was the better golfer.
Neither had ever seen a golf match
or had ever handled a club. And
both ranged something beyond two
hundred pounds in the way of dis
placement. Davis backed Cobb and
Blythe backed Corey for $50 a side.
A taxi was subpenaed and the party
forthwith moved to Dunwoodie,
where the battle was staged, it being
understood that neither golfer was to
be told what club should be used nor
advised as to how it should be used.
The match started at the first hole
at three o'clock. 1t was concluded at
the third hole at so o'clock. Cobb
won the first hole in ~ strokes
against 35. Corey rallied gamely
and took the second in 30 strokes
against 81. But Cobb broke up the
match by grasping the finer points
of the game at the third hole, where
he turned in a tidy "A, Corey conced-
ing the match where a perfectly
played niblick from a deep bunker
into the cup would have given him
no better than an even 80. -

SAY WORKER MISSES MUCH
Many College Presidents Averse to
Students Being Employed While
Obtaining an Education.

Becky Sharp was the first society
woman on nothing year. She made
the phrase famous and the fact infa-
nous. But there are circumstances
under which nothing a year can be a
blessing.
The secretary of the Christian assoc
citation at the University of Pennsyl-
vania announces that over 300 Penn
sylvania men are already supplied
with work to help them through their
college year. In other colleges. per-
haps in every college, men are being
so aided to get their education. And
a surprising number of these men
have literally nothing a year besides
the income from their work.
There will always be a serious doubt
in the mind of college men whether
working ones way through college
really pays in the end, the Philadel-
phia Evening Ledger says. College
presidents have frequently been quot
ed as advising students to borrow
while they are at college so that their
minds and their time may be free for
their college work and pleasures. The
two together make up a college life
A book education without a social edu.
cation is hardly worth having.
The college man who works his way
through misses much. to be sure, in
social contact, in the graces of inter
course with other men. His college is
chiefly place for lectures and
exams" The larger education he
gets. in pursuit of his tuition fees and
room rent, is hardly of the polished
and suave kind which college should
bring. 1t differs not at all from what
he will meet later on.
College as a preparation for living
ought TO be broader than any one life,
AS foundation for character it ought
to be broader than any career. That
is why the man who works his way
through really loses-because he iden.
titles college with life too soon.

WRONG IDEA ABOUT WORDS
Writer Claims Old Impression That
They Express Thought Is SIM
ply a DeIusion.

Our molders of opinion-our preach
ers and politicians and editors and
publishers-are not speaking in order
so much to convince us as to make us
act or vote or feel with them. Their
words are chains of phrases, strung
together almost undesignedly, with a
view of pulling us to the cause or
party or idea they are supporting.
1t is a curious delusion that words
express thought, the New Republic re-
marks. The object Of most words is
to short-circuit thought. Phrases like
democracy, liberty, militarism, the
principles of justice and humanity, are
not primary meanings at all. They
are epithets hurled at US to. arouse
some desired resentment, or they are
spotlights guaranteed to create GER
tain warm emotional glows of assent
in the mind which receives them. II
is the reaction they touch off that
makes them significant, not their
meaning. Words are such deadly
things not because they mean some
thing, but because they get wrapped
up with our emotion and pull it
up with them when they are seized.
In support of the articulate emotion
there may be any number of highly
rational arguments which have come
first. 1t is the antagonism orthe glow
of approval, while the evidence has
grown almost Negatively around the
emotion.

PICTURES GO OUT OF STYLE
Fashion Has Deereed That Just Walls
Shohld Adorn the Room for
the Present. AZ. g..tsy

Pictures, it is said, are going out.
No more will the notable still life
entitled "Fish" adorn the Louis
Quinze rooms of the best families,
nor will Landseer and Rosa Bonheur
contend for the position of honor at
the head of the stairs. Pictures are
going out.
Well, blank walls do not a prison
make, nor reprints a salon. 1t used
to be thought, before the fashions be-
gan to operate, that picture making
was one of the eternal traits of the
human composition, and that the de-
sire to see pictures in the home was
another. All that has been changed
by fashions stern decree. No more
pictures. Just walls.
To those who are worried a word
of consolation may be spoken. Let
them not destroy the pictures or dis
pose of them. Ten years from now
chance will come. The Raphael
Madonna will be enthroned again
over the mantel and Watts "Hope'
will set off a Reading From Ho-
mer." Meanwhile, if pictures must
go out, it is to be hoped that a little
sanity and a deal of beauty in house
decorations will enter.-EXchange.

Ben Bernard, president and general manager of the American Dredge Budding and Construction Company, of Seattle, arrived on the Northwestern yesterday from Seward after an ex- tended trip into the Cache creek and Mt. Mckinley districts in the interest of his company.
 Mir Bernard reports that his com pany has lately installed large dredge in the Cache creek section which at last accounts was operat- ing successfully and very profitably. L. S. smith, formerly of Nome, was the builder and also put the entire proposition through.
 Mr. Bernard's company IS also con sidering the installation of a dredge on the Nachochna river, in the Suslt- Dredging Company, d Seattle corpora tion.
 
 American Dredge Building and Con struction Company ,has taken over the dredge formerly owned by Chas. icrron. which was located in the Vi einlty of Seward. and is now engaged in drilling several properties in the Nil Mckinley district with a view to installing the machine in that section later on. There is much activity in the dredging line in those districts at present, according to MT. Bernard, and his company has several large contracts pending for the installation of dredges on properties examined by himself on his trip.
 Mr. Bernard intends to remain for several weeks in this section and con- templates leaving in a few days for the York district where his company

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-Following a conference of the representatives of the railroad brotherhoods this morn ing the executive committee asked President Wilson not to recede from his own plan of settlement as the brotherhoods were unwilling to sub init to railroad dictation in reaching an agreement. The attitude of the brotherhoods has again interjected an unexpected complication as the em- ployes are plainly intending to insist on the Wilson plan.
 Following a brief conference with Wilson this afternoon, the sub com mittee of the committee of eight ap- pointed by the railroad heads, an- nounced that the president had sum . moned them to inform them of a new and important development which figures prominently in the delibera- tions. The sub committee refused to discuss the nature of the new devel- opments mentioned except to say that they did not concern new legislation.

is extensively interested in mining for both tin and gold. The tin dredge ih- stalled by the company on Buck creek in that section last summer proved remarkably successful and IS expect ed to make great showing during the present summer.
 A feature of this dredge of whlch Nr Bernard speaks with great en- thusiasm is device which enables the separation of the gold from the tih' thus enabling the saving of a large amount of fine gold dust that was previously not recovered by the dredges and adding considerably 10 the values extracted. Mir Bernard states that this inability to separate the fine gold from the tin has resulted in thousands of dollars being thrown away but by the device mentioned, this has been completely eliminated.
 Mr. Bernard also states that his company mas l lalBe coltIact pciuihe for dredge installations in the kotze- bue sound district and he may visit that section in the near future.
 No doubt all of MT. Bernard's for mer friends and business associates in this section will be glad to see him back in the old stamping ground, in the development of which he has been of such material assistance. During the many years that he has been in terested in this section he has at all times been an enthusiastic booster of the country and has demonstrated his faith by investing his own and as- sociates money in various mining and dredging projects. By q strict atten- ton to business and we'll demonstrated inegrity he has won the regard of all who have had business dealings with him and his reappearance is more than welcome one. After examining much of the gold bearing regions of ne territory we find that he is still strong for Nome and says that this section looks better to him than ever.
