The people of Casper will doubtless
be greatly surprised to learn that the
venerable old preacher Of the gospel,
the Rev. DR.. ]. NJ. Cromer. has met
such n fate. After fifty years OF sue
cessfui work in the the ministry he
has in his old age been caught In the
treacherous net of telltale circum-
stances.
This fact seems an the more deplor-
able, in view of the certainly splendid
work he has done in his young con-
gregation in this city during the ten
months of its existence.
1t will be remembered that It was
only last October when he organized
tho Grace English Lutheran church.
BY the following Christmas the work
hal greatly advanced. n over 5000
was received in the church stocking
as a starter for h purchase of n
new church lot.
Soon there was n fine large Sunday
sci DOL thoroughly organized. A Ladies'
Aid Society of fifty members was
formed which at a subsequent bazaar
raised nearly $500.
One of the finest sites in the city
for a church, the large triangular lot
at eth and CY Avenue, was bought
and substantial payments were made
on It.
New members were added from
Der was doubled.
High water mark was reached at
Easter time when yer $4,000 was
given as an Easter offering. What
a splendid beginning.
Everything went along s~wimmingiy
until DR.. Cromer's arrest took place.
The Doctor enjoyed the confidence OF
tho whole community. His congrega'
tion loved him as a preacher and pas
tor. What a shame that the good
work could not go on. Casper needed
It. and a large Lutheran constituency
demanded Il. The moral and spiritual
welfare OF the city could III afford the
loss OF 80 promising an agency for
good in tho community.
Then DR.. Cromer and his congrega'
tion bear the honored name of n great
leader in the church. from whose great
work millions have come TO confess
their Lord md Master.
But in the very moment when this
work was most promising DR.. Gro
mer's arrest came.
What n real calamity to a good mai
and a good cause. DR.. Cromer In Owe
three-score and ten. 1--WE thirds OF
which time havo been spent IN tho 40
tive ministry. and TO have this Incl
dent occur 90 near the end OF n sue
cessful life must cause regret both

church
But at best man Is only n sin.bur
dened mortal. and ia likely TO fall nj
any time.
Certainly all must sympathi1s with
such 1 condition.

Negro JdnitOr
Paints Picture
( of Christ Child

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Aug. "a
Omitted Press.-Interest of art critics
IN an oil painting ~protraying the
Birth of Christ" which hangs in h
Union Station here. led today to the
discovery of the unknown artist" AL
bert jackson. negro Janitor and for
mer coal miner.
A group of critical art lovers.
gathered about the painting. exchang-
ed comments of wonder that such a
first-class original canvas should APP
pear in such comparative common
place a setting. Such paintings are
rarely found outside the walls OF the
best art galleries. they agreed.
jackson, in his grease-covered over
ails, with n monkey wrench in one
hand, came up from his workshop in
the basement al tho request of the
station-master. and told the critics
briefly his love for art. and the work
he had done in oil paintings after
hours in his little homo in the colored
section here.
You might call this my master
piece" the negro said. 81 have done
many small paintings. but this is my
best. 1 worked on this n every
night after working hours, for four
months"
Jackson told his audience he had
never studied art, although several Of
them insisted before they met the
painter that the canva was "old Ital-
IAN or tho work OF an artist who had
received his training from tho old
Latin masters.
IT have always aspired to be a
painter the negro continued. But
I have not studied art and thu ability
I have ms natural. I get ideas
from visiting the art galleries and
from talking with artists."
The critics agreed the painting. bar
ring a few minor technical faults was
well done. The figures. depicting the
Christ child lying in the mangcr
watched over by the kneeling virgin
Mary. were almost perfect. as was the
accuracy In shading and proportion of
the foliage and other background.
, 1923-08-22

and tho t~ownspeople scarcely believe
that the trains could move. with all
the tonnage carried.
Much skill n system is necessary
in the loading and packing of the
cars. Every animal cage. every
wagon, every trunk. every tent, and
every piece of material must be
placed in its exact location. To have
an article vary n or WI inches
requires the %reloading of the car. 1t
is said. Every workman has his
exact duty to perform nj It must DO
done like clock-work. There must be
no delays.
The exhibitions here will BIO given
on the circus grounds On East Second
street.
The street parade is announced for
IL a m. and 1t is a rule with the
Hagenbeck management to be exactly
on the minute.
