Proper Seeing Try to Look at It Through the Eyes ' of the Artist Who Painted ft . : . . y Charles H. Gaffin. . v HE firjst, necessity for the proper seeing of a picture is to try to see it through the eyes of the artist who painted it. This is not a usual method. Generally people look only, through f their own eyes, and like or dislike a picture according aa it If "does or does not suit will tell you: "Oh, I don't know anything about painting, dui. I knov what I like ;v which is their right way of saying: "It I "don't like it right off,! don't care to be bothered to like it at all." . ' - Such -an attitude of mind cuts one off from, growth and development, for Xt is as much as to say; "I am very well satisfied with, myself and quite indif ferent to' the experiences and feelings of other &en." Yet it is just this f eel- tng and experience of another man which a picture gives us. If you consider a moment you will understand why. The world itself is a vast panorama, and 1 from it the i painter selects his subject not the copy of.it exacUy, since it would be impossible for him to do this.leven if he tried.

F a person records on a phonograph a few sentences pro nounced by, himself, together with others by his friends, and . causes the machine to reproduce these at the end of a bfief period, it generally happens that he easily recognizedhis" friends voices, but not his own. On the other hand, the friends recognize his voice perfectly. This singular fact provesthat every one hears his own voice differently from wm otners. . ; -: , "As is remarked lie 'ih the quality of tone. It must be remembered that one hears his own voice not only through the air, as do his auditors, but across the solid parts situated between the organs of speech and those of hearing. The "sound thus . produced has a different timbre from that conducted to the ear by, the air alone. " . V - ".v;. " ,'- . . .

The experiment -ay .'he varied by applying a wooden rod to the larynx of the person observedand touching it from time to time to the observer's own larynx.

DUKE IS SUED Said to Have Raised Much Money On Worthless Collateral A VERY SIGNIFICANT STATEMENT One Who Knows the Career of the Woman Who Recently Became the Wife of Brodie L. Duke, , of, Durham, Says She is a. Shrewd Character and Adds: "Walt Till You Hear From Some Banks Down East." ". Chicago, Special. -The Gecman Na tional Bank, of Little Rock, Ark., is s;uing Alice L. Webb, and her prompt ing company for $10,000, the face of two notes of $5,000 each, due and un paid. "Just how far Taylor, Webb & Company's business has progressed known to the two partners. I have been after Alice L. Web since last July to get service on these notes and did hot succeed until she bobbed up in New, York and became the bride of Brodie L. Duke," said Attorney Packard. "I then sent the notes and papers on to New York and she was served there. I am inclined to believe they are ab solutely worthless." A man who knows Alice L. Webb gives this outline of her recent career : AUceLr Webb is 35 years old. She married E. H. Powell, of Pittsburg. who formerly owned the Seventh Ave nue Hotel, Pittsburg,; and in this I am Informed, she invested $60,000 and lost the money. She was later divorced from Powell, who now lives in Alle gheny, Pa. I know she 4ias a wealthy uncle living near Titusville, Pa., with whom she was constantly in correspon dence, and her father was also a great friend of Prof. Holden, owner of the Hotef Holden and The Cleveland Plain Dealer, and he has ; always taken a great, interest in the -woman. I don't know much about her connection with Brodie L. Duke and was even surprised to hear of her marriage to him. I am inclined to . believe that it was not her intention to marry when she went East Mrs. Webb-Duke was the shrewd est woman I ever met in my life. She was all business and could look through a man at a glance. Wait till you hear from some banKs down East." Charles F. Taylor, her partner, said: "Mrs. Duke is the daughter of William H. Webb, who was a wealthy corpora tion lawyer 6f New York. When her father died ten years ago he left her $100,000 and she engaged in business. She did not care for society and proved to be a very shrewd business woman. She told me that her first husband, Powell, had squandered her fortune. Since forming the partnership I have been associated with Miss Webb in many business ventures." . Taylor, who was formerly Chicago agent for an insurance company ' of Iowa, laughed at any idea that the firm was not all that' it was repre sented to be. He said: v "Mrs. Duke is an extraordinary woman and attends strictly to busi ness. I never heard her say any un kind thing o any one. She is not handsome or even good looking. Any body who clashes with her will meet his match. I have known her 14 years and have been in business with her two years." Mr. Taylor said further: "I jean safe ly say that Mrs. Duke has fT" 4e fully $1,000,000 in investments sidpt-feave known her. Outside of thetct that we may "be involved in orrand deal in Texas our firm is all right. We purchased 75 acres of ground at Na cogdoches, Texas, from Col. S. F. B. Morse, and paid $2,000 down. He is the ex-traffic manager of the Southern Pacific Railway Company. It devel oped after the failure of Daniel J. Sully, the cotton king, that Morse was his partner and that the property which he had about purchased was in cluded in the assets. This" brought the pr&perty into court and it is still there. ! All of our transactions have been bona fide. I don't know Duke and did not know Miss Webb was go ing to marry him. I never knew any of her private business." , Taylor is married and lives with his family in South Chicago. Mrs. Tay lor is a sister of Dr. E. M. Webster, of South Chicago. 50 Dogs Entered For Georgia Trials. Macon, Ga., Special. A special to Th,e Telegraph from Albany, Ga., says that the Georgia field trials will begin there. Tuesday.

The House adjourned until "tomorrow out of respect to the memory of the late Representative Ma honey, of Illinois..

' - Senate Meets Again. Upon re-convening after the holiday recess, the Senate plunged directly in to the consideration of the bill for the admission of two States to be compos ed of Arizona and New Mexico and;Ok lahoma and Indian Territory. A mo tion by Mr. Beveredge to take up the bill prevailed by a votejof 31 to 17. Mr. Heyburn, who renewed his effort to get up the pure food bill, voted .with the Democrats" on roll caltbut with this- exception the Republicans voted solidly to proceed with the considera tion of the Statehood bill and the Dem ocrats solidly against that coursej A motion by Mr. Bate, or -Tennessee, to recommit was voted down, Mr. Nelson spoke at length in advocacy of the bill. ' Mr. Bate, in making his motion, said t had been difficult to make a mi nority report, as many of the sittings of the committee had been held when the Senate was in session when mem bers of the minority could not attend. He entered upon . an ' argument against consolidation of the four Terri tories into two States. Referring to the proposed union of Arizona and New Mexico, he said they would make State of greater area than is com prised in all the New England States with New York, New Jersey, and Penn sylvania added. The only reason for the consolidation was found, he said, in the desire to prevent an increase of United States Senators. Mr. Breckenridge said all the mem bers of the committee on Territories had been notified of the committee meetings and that failure to attend was the fault of the individual mem bers. 1 Mr. Bate admitted that due notice of meetings , had been given. "They wanted us to help make a quorum' hfaid, "but we did not come up with the ante." The reference of, the ven erable Senator to a popular game caused a smile around the chamber. His motion was voted down, 15 to 31. "a He Senate adjourned. Senator Bard occupied the entire time of the Senate. He made an argu ment against the union of Arizona and New Mexico, on the ground that the people of the two Territories do not desire it. During the course of Mr. Bard's speech he was interrupted by Mr. Till man, who said he wanted to make an appeal for "white supremacy in Ari zona." To unite the two Territories would, he said, be like joining. Florida with Cuba' and.; to subject the white people of Arizona to the domination oj. Mexicans and "Greasers," which he op posed. Several bills of minor importance were passed during the day, ' and the Senate adjourned until Monday. Will Canvass Vote February 8.

The prospects are that this session of Congress will not pass a rived and harbor bill. The committee on. rivers and harbors has been considering a bill for sopae time with a view ofmak ing an e4rly report, but among the leaders in the House there is a dispo sition to let the bill go over for this session, on account of the condition of the Treasury. vCutting'off a river and harbor bill would be in line with the 'determination of the House leaders to adhere to. a policy of strict economy in government .expenditures. h Representative Maynard, of Virginia, in a bill proposed to in crease the salary of the President to $75,000 a year, the Vice President to ?15,000 and to give the President after his retirement from office an annual salary of $25,000 per annum for life. . j Morgan oh Statehood Bill.

He declared that the framers of, the legis- lation were of the white race and that it was not -the intention of the Mexi cans, Indians, negroes and half-breeds should be brought into citizenship. . He said : that if Arizona ; and New' Mexico were admitted into the Union this c!ass of .; citizenship would , control the elec tions and L that bribes . and whiskey might control them. s ;. : Mr. Mallory presented the minority report of the merchant marine com mission.
