A Sack Of l.,'vino Matter.

As might be expected, It Is among
the inhabitants of the water that we
find the simplest types Of life. One
OF the polyps, the hydra, illustrates
how simple these structures sometimes
are. This little creature Is nothing
more than sack Of living matter. the
inside coating attending to the work
OF digestion and the outside membrane
doing the breathing. Yet the functions
of the two membranes are so slightly
specialized that the polyp may be
turned inside out and the former stOm-
ach begins respiring, and the former
breathing apparatus digests food.

BY ELIZABETH THOMAS

Many Richmond persons are una
ware Of the beautiful exhibit in the
Public Art Gallery at the High school
There are 81 pictures IN the collection.
Although the exhibit by these men is
not so modern it takes one back to
the naturalism and poetry of Inness
and Wyant.
Mrs. NJ. F. Johnston has been ap-
pointed director of Richmond exhibits
by Mrs. Paul Comstock, who is now in
Louisville for the winter. Mrs. Com
stock is president Of the association.
Born in Philadelphia
Birge and Alexander Harrison, bro
theirs, were born in Philadelphia in the
early fifties and there is but slight
year and a half. They both spent
much time studying in Paris.
Birge is a pupil OF Cabanel while
Alexander studied at the Beaux Art
School Alexander has also studied
with Jerome and Lapage and while
the brothers were in Paris they were
intimately associated with Sargent,
Whistler and Robert Louis Stevenson
These two men early gained distinc-
ton as American painters. They have
painted pictures for the French COVE
eminent which hang in the Luxem
bourg gallery.
The fact Alexander spent most OF
his early manhood in coast survey ser
vice on the coast of Florida probably
led him to be a marine painter. He is
not represented in this exhibit by his
most distinguished works which have
found places in nearly all museum
collections.
The exhibit is confined for the most
part to Birge Harrison, the elder OF
the two.
Delights in Stretches
In his snow scenes which feature
the exhibit he is not realistic and vir
lie like Redfield and Simons but de
lights in broad stretches, finely modu
lated color.
He does not give one the sense Of

Harrison Exhibit at Gallery
Attracts Many Lovers of Art

volume like Chase or Sargent but is
to be classed among the great tonal
painters who date back to the Barbi-
zon school, In tonal quality his work
reminds one of Cain and Whistler
and Crane, Foster and Carlson.
Birge Harrison knows color scientifi-
cally but does not use broken color,
preferring to suggest luminosity and
vibration by painting in cool color over
freshly painted warm tints.
His technic is quiet and reserved.
Although his imagination is ont con-
structive he has the ability to idealize
the reality of nature and gives to one
on the canvas all the poetry and vision
with which his nature abounds.
Birge Harrison's book on landscape
Painting is considered by many as
better than the one by Alfred East,
! the English Landscape painter.
In Morrisson-Reeves.
| Several of his books may be found
in the Morrisson-Reeve Library. He
I will be remembered as much for his
/ writing and teachings on Art as for
| his canVases as he is unusually gifted
when it comes to languages.
/ His book on Landscape Painting
| has chapters on light, vibration, re-
! fraction, values, drawings, compost
| ion, temperament, etc.
| While it is written by an artist it is
not technical but may be easily under
stood by the laity.
The present exhibition has an ex-
| ample of every subject for which he
| is noted.
Especially interesting are the Que
! bee scenes, hanging in the north gal
! lery. Snow scenes, noeturnes and har-
i Dor scenes are especially appealing.
! Another feature of this exhibit is
! the relationship between painting and
music portrayed in wonderful man
ner by the artist.

A Blessing
In Disguise

The late spring, which has caused
heart-rending laments to flow from
so many people, claiming that grow
ing crops had no show under such
conditions, and that the prospects for
crop yields of all kinds was rapidly
diminished, now have, it seems, an
other "guess coming" 1t seems real
ly to make no difference what the real
conditions of the crops are, there is
always on hand plentiful supply of
calamity howlers.
The facts are that the present late,
cold wet spring is just what was most
needed to put the growing crops in the
best possible condition for a splendid
yield A bumper crop is now in pros
pect, while only a short time ago
crop conditions were decidedly un-
promising. AS one good farmer said
the other day: "My wheat crop has
never before seen such a marked inn
provement, when appearances were
SO poor. 1t now looks like | am going
to have a splendid wheat yield"
The experience of this farmer, in
regard to wheat, is the experience of
most every other farmer, in regard to
all kinds of crops. A gracious God is
still with poor, weak, frail humanity.

ITO Men Only"

The sermon last Sunday afternoon,
at the Monarch Theatre, "to men on
ly", was thoroughly successful at
least in drawing a crowded house of
men. The purpose was well served
of arousing the curiosity of lot of
"he's", many of whom, perhaps, had
not been to church before since they
were christened. There was nothing
in the sermon that would particularly
shock a mixed congregation, but "to
men only" was necessary in order to
get the attention of lot of che
males"
But all present heard a forceful
sermon, and we do not think it even
remotely possible that anyone was the
loser by being present. In fact, if
they will personally apply some of
the truths so forcefully brought home
to them on that occasion by DR..
Thomas, there is no doubt that many
would be the better therefor.

Memorial Services

AS mentioned last week, the exer-
cises usually held in Pennington or
Memorial Day were postponed on ac-
count of the threatening appearance
of the clouds to Sunday afternoon al
o'clock, when the observance was
carried out in due form.
Picket Post No. 215 formed in
front of its meeting place on Colum-
bia street, with a column of children
bearing flowers in their rear, and pre-
ceded by band playing martial mu-
sic marched to the Monarch Theatre.
Besides the large post flag, each man
in the procession carried a miniature
stars and stripes, and altogether pre-
sented patriotic display.
After the procession entered the
theater and the large crowd were set
tied, the exercises opened with the
singing of america" by the audience,
everybody standing.
This was followed by the reading
in an effective manner by Prof. w. l..
Johns of Lincoln's celebrated address,
delivered at the dedication of the Ma
tional Cemetery at Gettysburg.
Former Mayor B. H. Boyer deliver
ed the memorial address in his usual
earnest and attention-compelling
manner We regret that we are not
able to give at least an outline of his
address, but as he spoke extempora-
neously, using neither notes nor man
uscript, and as our reporter did not
take notes during its delivery, ex-
pecting of course to get a manu-
script copy from the speaker, we hes
itate to try to resurrect any part Of
it from memory.
The address was followed with the
singing of the "Star Spangled Ban
ner" by the audience, and the mem
orial ritualistic exercises of the G..
A. r. were recited by the officers and
members of the Post.
After this the procession reformed
and marched to the Masonic Gene
terry, where the graves of dead COM
rades and friends were decorated, and
committees were sent to the other
cemeteries to perform a similar trib-
ute.

Secret Finally Out

On June End Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
Guessing motored over from Miami,
Okla, to Joplin, Mo-, where they an
nounced to their friends their mar
riage, which happy event had really
been consummated in Kansas City on
April 10th, last. The fact that such
stupendous occasion in their lives
could, for a matter of six or seven
weeks, be kept secret from their most
intimate friends, indicates rather rare
diplomacy on the part of the happily
welded pair.
At the time of their trip to Joplin
sent out stating that they would be
"at home" to their friends in Miami.
The entire affair indicated most care
full planning by two loving hearts,
and we trust that the same careful
and loving arrangement will be theirs
throughout a long life journey, and
we hope that the greatest degree of
happiness will continue with them.
The brides maiden name was Es-
ther Jane Prosser. She is of an old
Pennsylvania family, is highly ac-
COlllpllSilcuy anu 10 VI filUSI pIepuooGoS-
ing and winning personality.
The groom is we'll known in Farm
ington, where he was for a number of
years one of our most enterprising
and popular young business men. He
is the oldest son of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas.
Giessing, who are among our oldest
and most highly respected citizens.
Henry Guessing some time ago went
to the Miami mineral field, since which
time he has been superintendent of
the Central Lead & Zinc Co. property,
being in full control of the develop
ment of its mines, until now it is one
of the best, producers in that entire
field. This property is at Cardin,
about ten miles from Miami, where
Mr.. and Mrs. Guessing expect soon
to make their home, and where the
groom now has almost ready for oc-
cupancy pretty little cottage.

of the young couple in best wishes

The Doe Run
Dissolution Case

The case ain Re Dissolution, the
Doe Run Lead Company" which has
been on the docket Of the Circuit
Court for several terms, and has been
continued from term to term for va
rious reasons, was called for trial
last Wednesday, Judge Peter H. Huck
on the bench. The dissolution of the
Doe Run Lead Company, as we under
stand it, is for the purpose of CONSOLE
dation with the st. Joseph Lead Com
pany, which it seems holds a major
ity or a very large share of the stock
of the former company s. R. May
nard of Thomasville, Ca, and Robert
Holmes of st. Louis, two large stock
holders, are opposing the suit for
dissolution, which is attracting much
interest among those interested in
these two rich mining corporations,
and an array of able counsel is en-
gagged on each side.
The suit is being earnestly con-
tested by Messrs. Maynard and
Holmes, especially by the former, who
is present in person. Mr.. Holmes is in
California, but his interests are be-
ing closely watched and defended by
B. H. Marbury. The case will doubt
less take up the Courts time for the
balance of this week.
Matthew C. Fleming of the law
firm of Dexter, Osborne & Fleming of
New York, is here as general coun-
sci for the St. Joseph Lead Company,
and Polite Elvins of Bonne Terre is
also representing that company.
Daniel N. Kirby of the law firm of
Nagel & Kirby of st. Louis; w. R..
Gentry of the firm of Watts, Gentry
& Lee of st. Louis, and Edward A..
Rozier of Pennington, are represent
ing the Doe Run Lead Company.
Judge Henry Lamm of Sedalia, late
Republican candidate for Governor,
H. M. Langworthy of the Kansas City
law firm of Warner, Dean, Mcleod
and Langworthy, and A. l.. Nc
Cawley of Carthage, Missouri, are
here as counsel of S. R. Maynard,
who is opposing the dissolution, and
B. H. Marbury of Pennington is rep
resenting Mr.. Holmes. C. H. Crane
of New York, president of both the
st. Joseph and the Doe Run Lead
Companies, is here closely watching
the proceedings and advising with his
counsel.

Capitalists Here

Eight capitalists, mostly from the
East, were registered at the st. Fran
co.'s Hotel Monday, and left Tuesday
morning for Mine La Motto to look
over the mining property there, in
which they are largely interested,
The sky-scraping prices of the pro-
ducts of practically all mines, espec-
tally of lead, have given an added in
crease in interest to their production,
which probably accounts for the visit
of these capitalists at this time. We
understand that they have in mind
increasing the output of those mines
to the greatest possible extent.
The names and addresses of these
capitalists are as follows: f, w. Rob-
ertson, A. w. McLimont, Mrs. Sagres,
Mr.. LEANED, Horace Taylor and DR..
Allen, of Philadelphia; Mr.. Holloway
CT Boston, and F. E. Butcher Of St.
Louis. &
