Carnes Is Caught.

the Canadian police, Clinton S. Carnes,
the ex-convict, who, as treasurer of the
Home Mission Board of the Southern
Baptist Convention, succeeded in en-
bezzling over a period of years an
amount estimated to be one million
dollars, was caught Friday in Winnipeg.
Living under an assumed name ami
with a newly cultivated muStache for
disguise, Carnes was recognized in the
far northern Canadian city from pho
tographs that had been broadcast
throughout the world He left Atlanta
in the middle Of August, telling his
friends that he intended to make a
business trip into North Carolina. II
was only after an intensive search had
been made for him when he failed to
return, in the belief that he had met
with foul play, that an audit of the
books of the mission board was under

enormous embezzlement his past life
was uncovered, which showed that he
had served terms in two penitentiaries

Richard F. Outcault.

Myriads of Americans who have in
the past enjoyed the characters OF
Buster Brown" "Tige," the talented
bulldog, and other comic personalities
will mourn the passing Of Richard F.
Outcault, who has just died following
lingering illness. He was a pioneer In
the field of colored comic art, which has
become such an important feature OF
the modern great newspaper. He pur-
sued his chosen line, for decades and,
through his skillful "fooling" with line
and color and his inventive and active
mind. he endeared himself to many
thousands of both old and young.
One has to be middle-aged to recall
THE Yellow Kid" who was one of the
very first, if not the first, of long line
of comic characters whose names have
become household words, and to remem-
Der "Hogans Alley" which was its not
quite SO successful precursor. Buster
Brown was the third and the greatest
of Outcaults creations. several popular
articles of diet and clothing having been
named in his honor, although the "Yel-
low Kid" whose invariable costume OF
long, lemon-colored smock or jumper,
similar to that worn by the shirt boys"
of the old-time plantation, was for long
firmly intrenched in the publics favor.
It can safely be said that no page Of
Busters doings, incredible as they ap-
peared, evc~ did any real harm, and every
page brought beneficial laughs to light
en- many a gloomy mind. Tige's super
intelligence caused many a lad to spend
fruitless but happy hours trying to teach
his own dog to emulate that marvellous
example of brains and physical prowess.
There was nothing quite. like this pair,
and they will be missed, as will their
genial inventor.
