Farny and Frank Duveneck as her three great painters. Won Heart of France. His picture "The Return of the Prodigal" won the heart of France in 1879 and gained for Mosler a place in . the Luxembourg galleries of Paris. In 1857, when Mosler was a youth . of 16, his family moved to Richmond, remaining here for four years. Later when his fame came It seemed more than appropriate that his should be the first picture bought for the Richmond publio art collection with the Daniel G. Reld purchase - fund. "The Duet" is one of his finest paintings. Among his noted paintings ar "Betsy Ross Making the First American Flag," and "Washington Crossing the Delaware." During the Civil War he served with the federal armies as an artist.

I Birds of Indiana You j May Not Know
v J (Furnished by The Department of Conservation) The cardinal grosbeak is not a migrant. When once located it remains in that vicinity during the remainder of jt3 life. They remain with us throughout the year. Thl3 species is about eight inches
long, and has a wing extent of about i 11 inches. In appearance the sexes are unlike. The whole of the upper; parts of the adult male are a duskyj red, except the sides of the head and j
neck, which, as well as the lower
parts, are bright vermilllon. The female is less In size than the male, the upper parts are of a brownish olive or drab; breast and lower parts of a
reddish drab. j Few birds are better singers than I the cardinal grosbeak. Both sexes j sing and the richness of their song must be heard to be appreciated. The ' bird la a fruit and seed eater. Its j principal food consists of wild fruits j
and the coarses weea seea?. ii aiso destroys many iifsects, especially so, when it is feeding its young, and this is particularly true of the larger insects such as grasshoppers, crickets and moths. The rose-breasted grosbeak ranges from Western Ecuador and the Province of Santa Maria, in Columbia, to Labrador and Saskatchewan, and from the Atlantic ocean to west of the Great Plains. They breed In the Carolinas and come to Indiana early in May, returning southward in September and October. The adult male is about eight inches long and has a wing extent of about twelve inches. Chin, neck and upper parts are black; wings pointed and ' black with a large patch of white on the basal portion of the primaries and white spots at the tips. The lower part of the breast, middle of the belly and lining of wings are of a full light carmine or rose color. The female is very unlike the male, is of a light yellowish flaxen color, streaked with dark olive, pale flaxen and white. The lining of the wings are pale yellow. This bird is not common in Indiana.
JAMES MONROE
NO other President, with the exception of John Quincy Adams, has served the country as long as James Monroe and, without exception, none has had an official experience so varied. From 1776, when he was a vigorous, six-foot, broad shouldered, raw-boned
boy of 18, and left William and Mary's ! college to enter the Revolution, Mon-! roe remained In the public service un- j til 1825, when he retired from the White House a wrinkled, care bent, i impoverished old man. In those 49 j years, he had been a minor military i officer under Washington; repeatedly; a member of the Legislature, a member of the Continental Congress and of the National Senate; twice Govern-1 or of Virginia; Minister to France,; England and Spain; Secretary of!
State and War at the same time and finally President for two terms. Without wealth or family influence ,with a slow, commonplace mind, with no gift as a speaker; with a modest, awkward presence and plain, unpol
ished manners, this very ordinary

Napoleon for a celebrated wax works show In Paris. In that brilliant galaxy of monarchs and dukes yet to be, Eliza Monroe, in girlish prettihess, i3 seen again by the side of the future Queen of Holland and the destined mother of Napoleon HI. After Eliza became Mrs. Hay she loyally named her daughter for Hortense, who, as Queen and ex-Queen, always kept up a correspondence with her American schoolmate. Today the two friends sleep but a few miles apart, Eliza having returned in later life to the scenes of her girlhood, where she joined the Catholic church, and at last was buried in the cemetery of Pere la Chaise at Paris. After signing the Louisiana Treaty, much of the prestige Monroe had won at Paris was lost by him in London, where he negotiated an English treaty that Jefferson repudiated. Once more he came home under a cloud, but soon emerged as Secretary of State in Madison's Cabinet. In the military chaos of the War of 1812, he took charge of the War Department also and revived the dispirited defense of the country with an infusion of his own courage and vigor. Largely by his prompt measures Baltimore was saved and the star spangled banner continued to wave over Fort McHenry, as Francis Scott Key has testified unto all generations. At last, when the war closed with victory, Monroe rightly shared in the unexpected glory, because it was he who had ordered Jackson to New Orleans and had assembled there the forces which won the day.
Weddings Then and Now Recalled by Tiny Volume (Springfield Republican) Carl Holliday, professor of English and dean of the college of arts and sciences of Toledo university, has brought together in a tiny volume a baker's dozen of brief chapters on "Wedding Customs Then and Now" (Stratford Company, Boston). Apparently he is not a soulmate of Sam Walter Foss, for he seem3 to delight to "hurl the cynic's ban", but under all the raillery the reader will see that the Toledo sage is but a humorist whose quips are to bo enjoyed, but not believed too literally. We have moved forward quite a distance from the time when a man used a club to get him a wife to this effete age when a club is his means of escape from her. Such persistent traditions as the throwing of rice and old shoes at the departing bride and groom are explained in these pages, and if the symbolism were intelligently used today

force of his rugged courageous, indus
trious, honest, loyal character a triumph of the homely, common virtues. Although he failed in some of his most important tasks, Monroe's failures were forgiven because they were honest mistakes. The ridicule and the disgrace brought upon him by the most spectacular episode of his un-
dramatic life, would have buried for-'Two children having been
ever a man more brilliant and less sincere. This remarkable scene was enacted on the highly theatrical stage of the National Convention at Paris directly after the Reign of Terror and the fall of Robespierre, when France was the outcast among Nations. At that moment, Monroe appeared as the envoy of the only sister republic and, to let all the world see that the Revolution had at least one friend left on earth, the President of the convention melodramatically folded the rustic Virginian in his arms. As an ardent believer in republicanIsm, it is true that he had been specially chosen by Washington to soothe the savage breast of the Revolution. But in that fraternal embrace the new
Minister was somewhat infected by f the Gallic fervor of his welcome. Re- j gardless of England and other jealous ! monarchies, which were at grips with j the revolutionists, he overstepped the
bounds of neutrality by warmly applauding France and her armies and, as if the two countries were open allies, he presented an American flag to bo hung on the walls of the convention by the side of the tri-color red flag of revolt in that day. Washington and the conservatives were outraged by the cordiality with which "Citizen Monroe" had taken the red hand of revolutionary France. Many were so unreasoning as to censure him even for an act of mercy which only did credit to his heart Having found Thomas Paine in the shadow of the guillotine, he had taken that friend of our own revolution from
prison into the American legation, ! where he nursed him back to health. I After two year.?, he was'recaMed for j his zeal, and came home in a rase of j Indignation. Passing by the gate of Mount Vernon without paying his
