REMINGTON'S PICTURES.
Artist Looked Like One of His Own
Cowboys.


When the late Frederic Remington
Brothers he looked like cowboy just
off ranch, which, in fact, was the case.
j. Henry Harper thus describes the visit
in connection with the anniversary of
the House, which In this year celebrat.
ing its hundredth birthday.
THE sketches which he brought with
him We're very crude, but had all the
ring OF new and live material. In course
OF conversation with him he told me
that his ranch had proved an utter
failure, and that he had recently found
himself stranded in a small western
town with but n quarter of dollar in
his pocket. lie was anxious to get to
New York. but was at loss TO con-
ceive where the funds We're to come
from to pay his car fare over.
AS he entered an unprepossessing
little inn in the evening he noticed that
there was n game OF poker In progress
In the open bar.room, and he took in
the situation at glance; two profes.
sional gamblers were plucking a man
who looked like an eastern drummer.
Remington watched the players for
few minutes and then suggested to the
commercial traveller that he had better
stop and go up to bed. The savage
looks OF the two gamblers put Rem
ington on his guard and he whipped
out his gun, told the card.sharpers TO
hold up their hands. and covered his
retreat until he and his befriended
companion were safe in the mans bed
room and had locked and barricaded
the door. Remington, anticipating fur
ther trouble, sat with hs gun ready all
night: and when he heard stealthy
steps outside their door. several hours
later on, he gave the rustlers clear evi-
dence that he was awake and ready for
action. Remingtons new.found friend
was overwhelming In his gratitude and
begged to know what he could do TO
recompense Remington for his timely
assistance. Remington said that he de-
sired TO go to New York, but lacked
| the requisite funds. The upshot was
that his new acquaintance was also on
| his way TO the same city and invited
Remington TO accompany him at his
expense. on his arrival Remington
promptly called at Franklin Square.
Frederic Remington soon developed
into very remarkable artist, both in
black.and.white drawings and in oil
paintings. and later on in life became
a skilful sculptor as well. He wrote
many articles and stories for Harper's
Magazine. and his style was excellent.
concise and lucid. and gave me the i'm
preston that he had taken Guy de
Maupassant for his model. We publish
ed altogether five volumes OF his works.
Remington was a noted football player
while he was In Yale, and he had the
build Of a young Hercules; and as a
painter and writer he had the vigor and
| enthusiasm OF a born artist. His special
field in art was cowboy and army life"
