One of the types Zorn loved to portray

for Zorn's etchings, and these are un
deniably the work of q good craftsman.
it was his painting that placed him in
the front rank of artists. He preferred
work out of doors, Some of his Dor
traits were made with the background
OF deep and fragrant woods near his
home. On one occasion at least he
went SO far as to paint a portrait in
the snow, with the weather below freez-
ing.
In more clement weather he made
studies OF peasants out Of doors. His
handling Of water scenes has also been
q feature Of his painting, which raised
MIN above the average good painter.
Strongly opposed to all convention
AHties Of tho studio, he (Zorn) pre-
fers to study his subjects under nst-
ural conditions, when they are of their

Attention Is Turned to the Work of Anders Zor, !.
Swedish Artist Who Died Recently

The announcement Of the death of
Anders Zorn last week turns the art
lovers attention to the work of this
great painter. The paintings and etch-
ings Of Zorn have their distinctive
place in the world Of art. Their power
and beauty have won for tho Swedish
painter not only the admiration of per-
sons especially interested in works Of
the sort, but have attracted those not
80 we'll versed in materials Of the art
world.
Celebrated for his paintings Of peas
ants, he liked to consider the peasants
his critics. He told a friend once that
when he was working at his home in
Gopsmor. q simple hut several miles
from Mora, he called in certain Of the
peasants to look at each finished piece
Of work. Their judgment he consid-
cred the real test Of his art.

lists knew no bounds. Thus a certain
Orazio Vecchi wrote & comic opera in
the madrigal style entitled 'L'Amphi-
parnasso.' 1t is totally deprived Of all
melodic inspiration and the most
mediocre of our singers would find no
chance Of displaying his vocal gifts In
this academic product.
"TowArd tho end Of tho seventeenth
century and at tho beginning Of the
eighteenth, an intellectual camarlla at
Florence took it into their heads to
revive Greek tragedy by the creation of
observation-disclosures which has nothing
In common with opera of to-day.
"This group, known under the name
Of Camerata Fiorentina, imagined that
musical genius originated in the brain,
and for this reason the works which
they have left us are all intellect and
nothing else. They reveal to such an
extent tho endeavor to express the
text and human passions that inspra-
ton, l. g., the melodic vein, has to be
continually sacrificed. There Is only
one Italian composer of the seven

style Of tho last century, which al
lowed the fne voices of Italy to be

this Is how tho fascination of melody
triumphed from the beginning Of the
nineteenth century. And If one con-

WOULD MAKE AN EXCEPTION
Captured German Captain Decided That on This Occasion He Would
 Forget About Honor.

Among the letters from France that have been printed in the Atlantic Monthly there is to ke found this ey tertaining episode:
 The code of the German officers is never to surrender; but of course they cannot live up to it. In recent raid sergeant 1 know made prisoner of German captain who, as they walked to the rear, cursed his Iuck in fluent French, saying that he was caught unawares, that an officer neve' surrendered, but fought to the end
 "StOp here, my captain, and let us consider this," said the sergeant seri- ously. "There are several articles of your equipment to which my fancy runs. That watch for instance those leather putteeS, and that fat purse I saw you change to your hip pocket, Perhaps I can 'oblige you and gratify my whim. Suppose you were suddenly to run-a quick shot would save your honor, and me the trouble of escorting you to the rear And I am an excel- lent shot, l assure you"
 But the German was not interested.

PROOF THAT STONE GROWS
Rock on California Farm Has h. creased in Weight Within the
 Memory of Settlers.

On the farm of Mr. James Cham pion. known as the old home place of his father, John Champion, boys used to meet years ago with the elder Champion, and often tossed a round stone, ball fashion, one to another. The same stone now lies in the yard, at the old place, and men now in their eighties often speak of this rock and identify 1t as the stone they used to osa. about to each other.
 Today it will weigh about 300 pounds and lies neac the spot where it las lain for nearly a century. Some of the most substantial old men of Mercer county who are now living, will vouch that this rock has grown rom a small stone to it's present size since their babyhood days.-Wilmore tCal) Enterprise.
