Now the newer artists are tho hope
of the future. yet in this country here
tofore almost nothing has been done
for them. They have had to shift for
themselves, and almost in proportion
as they have had merit have they been
frowned upon by official societies and
official patronage. Sometimes in con-
sidering the stories of Albert p. Ryder,
Thomas Eakins, George Fuller and
Wnslow Homer, 1t has seemed as

Intelligent opinion agrees that the
greatest good all around springs from

community. When numbers OF people
have the instinct for style 1t stands to
reason that quicker recognitions Will
be meted out to artists and that less
men of talent will wilt by the waysde.

publishers were guided by their own
preferences IN the selection OF news
to be served their readers, would be
omitted altogether. But if something
happens that newspaper readers are
interested in, and if ii be something
that is fit to print, it must be print

Some months ago | Waser:dlng on a
fast train. l noticed dog that ran
after US with menacing bark.
The dog lived on farm, and the
farmhouse sat some distance back.
The dog began to run toward the
train when it first entered the farm,
and as the train gained upon HIM,
he altered his course TO parabollc
curve.
BY the time the train reached the
end OF the wide field, he was well
behind, but still running.
lie ran so hard he did not see the
ditch at The extreme end Of the field,
but fell into it, crawleA out, and
stood barking after the train.
Then he trudged slowly homeward.
A few weeks later | had occasion
TO go again on that same train and
chanced to be sitting on the same
side. The same dog emerged and
ran in the same curve and Tell into
The same ditch and stood cursng the
train, and then turned ana walked
back home.

same thing. They consider it their

words OF praise. The future belongs
to him. Coming generations VIII

But there are other men Who mere

Should Inquire.
There is 70 virtue n that kind Of
performance.
They should step and inquire, FIRST.
whether the train IS not r}indihg rs
own business, and setting them q
good example; secondly, whether any
amount of chasing it Will do any
good, and thirdly, what they would
do with the train if, perchance, they
should overtaEe it.
But that dog will run after that
same train till he has rheumatism in
his every senilc joint; or until some
day the fall into the ditch breaks
his senseless neck.

Ing over q number Of years, tac prac-

in the state of Nebraska may be cit
ed. For years Nebraska has had BIZ
cnnial sessions. The sessions are con
vened on a certain date by law, but
their length is not limited by law, as
in Georgia. However, the period of
pay of the members Is limited to
ninety days. At the end of that time
if the legislative calendar is not
clear in both houses the session con
tinues until it is clear, with The legis-
iators drawing no pay whatever for
Their time. The result is that they
get down TO real business before the
end of The session, there is no jam

many important measures dying be

everything is disposed of in an or
