~ NE hundred years ago last July
died one OF Americas greatest
portrait painters, and one who
~ had the unique distinction Of
having painted the portraits
of the heads Of each of the three
countries involved In the War of the
Revolution-George Washington Of the
American Colonies, George III of
England and Louis XVI of France.
Gilbert Stuart was born at North
Kingston, r. l., December 3, 1855. His
father, also named Gilbert, was a snuff
maker Like all true artists who are
born, not made, he began Sketching
heads at very youthful age. His
earliest known portrait is of an un-
known man, in crayon black lead,
produced and dated in 1853, when he
was 10 years old. 1t is now in the
Essex Institute, at Salem, Mass. His
earliest teaching was from Cosmo
Alexander, Scotchman of only fair
artistic ability. Stuart accompanied
Alexander on trip to Scotland in
1772, but soon returned to America and
took up his residence in Newport.
He sailed for England in June, IT'S,
on the last boat which the British per-
mitted to leave Boston Harbor Ar
irving in London, he took lodgings in
For a period of over two years little
| is known of Stuart's life. Upon his
arrival he did not present himself to
his compatriot and fellow-artist Ben
jamin West, who had been a resident
of London for several years, a charter
member of the Royal Academy and an
intimate friend of Sir Joshua Rey-
nolds, its president, and who later sue
ceeded him in that Office. However,
he did finally, in 1777, call on West,
who received him with kindness and
took him into his own house as pupil.
He progressed rapidly, and West made
him acquainted with many distin-
guished persons, including the King.
One day DR.. Samuel Johnson, who
was at that time a dominating figure
in English literature and who had re-
Gently completed his dictionary, called
on West, who introduced Stuart to him
After short conversation DR.. John
son, who usually caused feeling OF
awe and trepidation to arise In the
breasts of youthful aSpirants to fame
said to Stuart in his brusque manner
You talk good English. Where did
you learn it?" Stuart replied, II will
tell you, sir, where I did not learn it.
1t was not from your dictionary"
Stuart remained with West five years
and then set up studio of his own. He
was very successful and had a constant
! stream OF sitters. He painted the por-
! traits of many noblemen and high dig
! nitarieS and received command from
George III. whose portrait he painted
as we'll as that of the Prince of Wales

WINS SEWING HONOR
Florence Hester, Warren
School Girl, Is Best.

Miss Florence Hester, 14-year-old
Warren Central high school girl,
has n ouse whatever for Paris de-
signers, dressmakers and all the
others things the French have in
vented to ruin papa's pocketbook
when the better half wants some
thing new to wear to a party.
When Miss Hester wants a new
dress for a party, a new outfit to
go some place, or anything else new
in the millinery line, she gets 1t
and doesn't have to look around or
do the slightest bit of window shop
ping. She thinks a moment, decides
what she would look best in, and
then makes it herself.
Miss Hester is the daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy j. Hester, Stop 2
road, and was judged to be the best
in the sewing contest held among
Marion count Al Club girls.

Pillows made Of bogus paper,
stuffed with folded newspapers, dec
grated with wood block designs, and

and lanterns is part of the project
to study Japan.
Scenes from LongfelloW's Hia-
watha; inventions and new devices
made by Dick, in Dick and His
Peaches" the finding OF the Gold
Bug, and q miniature Ali Hafed's
Farm are some of the board pro-
jects of pupils in upper grade read
ing classes.
A Roman street scene is being
worked out by the Latin depart
ment. Among the things shown
will be a well, water jugs, men in
togas, women in robes and mantleS,
slaves, and horses and chariots.
Trace Primitive Life
A mathematics class is interested
in tracing units and geometric
forms back to the life needs of
primitive people. Glass groups are
developing model scenes to repre-
sent early shelters built by various
tribes and pioneers of this country.
The models, when completed, will
tell a life story of mans struggle to
find shelter from the cold Of the
north, the rain and snow of the
plains, and the heat of the tropics.
The different activities Of the
rooms are on exhibition at the
school.

yesterday a counter claim which
places the financial situation afore-
mentioned in a new light, accord
ing to Stevens, Henderson and

The $500 alleged by Berry to be
loaned was paid the company for
purchase of stock, which is still
in Berry's possession, the counter
claim alleges.
The $3.50 demanded by Berry
according to the counter-claim
was for a car Berry left with the
company for sale by the company
and the pink title slip for which
was not surrendered to the pur-
chaser after the COMPANY sold ii
for him, rendering the $3.50 credit
void, it is said. and not due Ber-
ry.

$135849 in commissions, he owes
the company $144456, the company
alleges. The counter claim states
further that the net assets Of the
company are $196,204.66.
