AFAMOU^ICTURE Rosa Bonheur’s Stirring Master piece, “The Horse Fair.” A PRIZE THAT FRANCE LOST. Tha Artist’s Nativ* Land Permitted the Great Carv\a« te Find a Home In This Country—The Story of the Painting and Its Replica*. Canttnee Maternelles. There are five diuing-rooas In Paris where from fifty to eighty nute- mg mothers daily receive free meals. Cantlnes Maternelles these restau rant* were called when they were Itarted eight years ago by Mme. Henry Coullet of Paris. At first the aniy passport needed was the yosses- Blon of a baby, but owing to the de velopment of a confusing habit of bor rowing babies so as to procure a meal the rule was altered, and the pro^ rislon of free meals is now dependent ipon regular attendan^-e at an a.ljoln- (D|( baby clinic. Nothing can give a nation dignity but its thought.—‘Woodrow Wilson. One of the chief glories of the Metre, pi.litau museum in New York is Bosa 1 ■uheur's stirring masterpiece, “The Horse Fair,” a picture which for its , resistible movement and livhig por- ;;!iture of man’s most useful friend ij8 a unique position in the annala i i ;;rt and the affections of lovers of l ow, however, are acquainted with iutimate history of that notable , jinvas, and fewer still are aware that t : ('It.' are no less than five hon» fall |.. iiros in existence.

Winsor’s “Memo- flal History of Boston” records that Ipon the arrival In Boston of some irlsh spinners and weavers a spinning >raze took possession of the town, 'and the women, young and old, high ind low, rich and poor, flocked Into he spinning school, which for want of , »etter quarters, was set up In the Com- [ non, in the open air. Here the whirr ^ if their wheels was heard from morn- ng to night.*' Thirty-flve years later ihe Society for Encouraging Industry ind Employing the Poor again used he Common as a spinning school, ibout 300 young women appearing here. President Wilson Wash ington, D. C. ihe salon of 1853, but went back to u.i' artist unsold. A part of the further history of the fii iu'iis painting is recorded by Brnesl (. iiubart in his manuscript memoirs, V.'vh have been freely drawn upon f, the “Reminiscences of Rosa Bon- liL-ur:" • After the closing of the 1853 Paris 'U The Horse Fair’ was intrusted to the Society of Artists of Ghent fox i \uibitiou in that town, where it had :i ,;;reat success, but whence It also v;i:ae back unsold. In the spring of I'',"! 1 expressed to Mile. Bonheur the desire to buy It from her. At that time i-- Avas in Bordeaux, her native town. • Her preference was that the munlc- i*y should purchase It for the city “Dr. King’s New Discovery cured my terrible cough and cold. I gained 15 pounds." Buy it at Mebane Drug Co. Don’t flatter yourself that friendship authorizes you to say disagreeable things to your intimates.

James A. L^jwis, Milaca,Minn., writes: “Cliamberlain’s Cough Remedy has been a needed and welcome guest in our home for a number of years.

Burlington. - - North Carolina lers. I uld like to have it engraved by Thoiuas Landseer, the celebrated en prav r and brother to the painter. "She was delighted at the idea of tLt‘ I'icture being engraved and said to uie; 1 have asked you 40,000 francs fir my picture, although in France 1 cuiU' t get 12,000, and I am pleased at y.'ur CDU.senting to my terms. On the hLu t hand, I don’t mean to take un due advantage of your liberality. How an we arrange matters? Let us see. Well, the picture is very large, and it will be difficult to find a place for it ill an engraver’s studio. Besides, you want to exhibit it. Wouldn’t it be bet- ti r f ir me to paint you a smaller C";'V V’ ” That suggestion she carried out and fxnlains how the second canvas came int I existence. That smaller copy was the cue from which Landseer’s well l:i!'wn steel engraving was made and H the picture which is in the British XatiMual gallery. When she heard that it had become tLe iiroperty of the British nation Mile. Bonheur decided to make a third C 'liy. thinking the second was not c'"d enough for the London collection, hoiire "The Horse Fair” No. 3. But the .National gallery authorities were iMt able to accept the substitute, as t-e painting which it was designed to I' pla; e had been given to them as tru.'^ice.s. Pie.'ides these three. Mile. Bonheur o.’^eeuted a w'ater color replica and a draAving based on a large photograph of all these, however, the picture In fh(‘ Metropolitan is by far the flnesf wiifk, which is only as it should be iu view of the fact that the artist always f''Uiid her best public in America. Thir4 was recalled to her detriment when rhe rosette of the Legion of Hon or was requested in her behalf. “She ha.s ceased exhibiting at the salon.” | objet-ted the president, “and sells Ie .America everything she paints.” Th« complete answer to that was that thf French government had had the op portunity to buy “The Horse Fair,” but had neglected it.—Argonaut.
