Foreign Representative Carpenter & Company, Michigan Avenue, Chicago, THE CHURCH STEEPLE:— One of the excuses offered for not going to church is "Oh. I don't like the minister.” You may not care for the president or the governor, but those facts don't prevent you being a good citizen and doing your part to maintain the government, do they? Here’s the way it is argued in a “go to church” advertisement which recently appeared in a western paper: You hear people give that quite seriously as the reason why they don’t gj to church. Or sometimes it is tiie choir they don't like, or the shape of the church steeple. There's no easy way of finding out. Init doubtless some Londoners don't find Westminster Abbey all to their liking. Yet many of our folks who stay away from their church because it doesn’t suit their tastes probably feel sure they would go every Sunday if Westminster Abbey were conveniently near. As a matter of fact, staying away from church because you don't like the preacher is a poor reason. But so is going to church because you do. For the Christian religion is too serious and important a matter to be judged by any part'cular minister, or choir, or church steeple. Co to church and go for a better re ison than that. Co because you want to find and worship God. if you have that desire, the lesser things will not atract you unduly, nor will they keep you'away. Some people find God in Westminster Abbey. Where you find Him depends largely upon von. But for most of us, our own church, no mailer what the shape or its steeple, is the first and best place to look. Morion Hawkins, of Cortland, ecu tral figure in the *6,006,000 fraud scheme in which thousands of people lost their savings and as a result of which, fourteen of his associates were found guilty for using the mails to defraud and sentenced to prison, was captured yesterday at Dayton, Ohio, after a several months bunt by fedoial officers. Hawkins disappeared the night before he was to appear in court and his $7,000 bond was forfeited. Jfis capture, it is said, -was due to his imbibing in some New Years cheer which caused him to ui t i'i a manner bo suspicious Dial Hu- police nabbed him and he was locked up under a charge of registering at a hot cl under the assumed name of J.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Charles Dana Gibson Publisher of "Life” ily Joe Mitchell chappie A distinctive era in American urt wus marked when the "Gibson gitl •made her debut. The inspiration of (lie young artist and illustrator in New York was Irene Langhorn, the Richmond belle, wdio later became Mrs. Charles Dana Gibson. Born in

Rnxburv, Mass., he doubtless remembers something of the old omnibus line now transplanted by the first utbwuy ever built in the United Stales. Named for the distinguished Charles Dana, of the New Y’ork "Sun," . whose early experiences at the Brook Farm with Ralph Waldo Emerson and others had given that part of 1 Boston an atmosphere of artistic, • philosophic and literary cult. r The tall, lank young Gibson did , not have to carry the portfolio containing his sketches from magazine 1 office to magazine office in New' York > City very long before his genius as ’ an illustrator was discovered. Gib- ( son's illustrations now grace the files of nearly all of the leading magaz'nes, but his world-wide reputation was established in his work in “Life,” i the publication in which be now has a controlling interest. As an author he quickly won favor with his "Sketches in London." The outgrowth of this was his “People of Dickens.” The illustrations in his book hid much to do with the revival of tne interest in Dickens that helped out the book-agents. "The Education of Mr. Pip," published in •ISO 9 added a Dickens’ character to \iiierii-an literature. Ask any American boy or girl today for the names of famous illustrators and they will invariably include the nahie of Charles Dana Gibson. There is something expressed in the lines of his drawings that is unforgettable. They are more than likenesses.; they are interpretations. The mise of humor, mingled with a keen -atire, is irresistible. For a time his drawings served the purpose of nio- 1 - ion pictures in glimpsing the passing comedy of every day life as the people were moving about on the dreets and in their homes, revealing those weaknesses and vanities that appeal to the caricaturist and serve as a warning against the foibles of humankind. In his studio, in his office, or in the rest days at his cottage at Deep ■fprhor, his summer home in Maine. Charles Dana Gibson is an impress-

A meeting will be held at Indianapolis next Tuesday to consult upon ways and means to proceed. We believe a majority of the voters of Indiana who care any thing limit how an election is conducted will agree that the present law is unwieldy and expensive and should lie changed.

CHARLES DANA GIBSON says: "When you have an idea firmly in your mind, the process of drawing is a matter of technique, but technique must be there to draw upon as you would a bank account." ive personality. As the close, personal friend of Hon. John W. Davis, Democratic nominee for President, •he was the first to bid the candidate a welcome as a host. Amid the picturesque surroundings, he continues to use his sketch book and mingle among the people who live close to nature, unspoiled by the artificial environment of city life. In' appearance, business-like with scholarly stoop, clear blue eyes and expressive face and massive head, with scant hirsute adornment, the publisher of “Life" and the popular American artist, is a picturesque and popular figure in the life of Now York. Commenting on illustrating. Charles Dana Gibson remarked: "When you have the idea firm in your mind, the process of drawing is a matter of technique—but technique must be there to draw’ upon as you would a bunk account. The author does not merely record the event, but is continually drawing upon a vast storehouse of experiences and information gathered in reading and studying. Corrections and interlining oftentimes are more important than the first draft. That is where the emergency call is made upon the (lays and hours of study. An artist must change his picture, blend his colors here and there, as an author struggles with h s proof sheets. It is far-cry from the blank paper to the completed work, not measured merely in time alone. Focusing the sweep of an idea and evolving that which is sought, is not a matter to be reckoned in minutes or hours or by the act of turning on a faucet or pulling out the stop of an organ."
