Show Triumph of Art. A young artist, out on a sketching trip, came across a living specimen of the "barefoot boy with cheek of tan," properly outfitted with rod and string of fish, nnd for n consideration induced in-duced him to pose for a sketch. In a few minutes there came along a man wiio would have been spotted instantly instant-ly by a reasonably sophisticated observer ob-server as the bond, theoretically at least, of a family. For half an hour he stood watching the artist work, then burst out in admiring enthusiasm enthusi-asm : "Well, sir. If that isn't wonderful I Beats all I ever saw!" "Like the sketch, do you?" the flattered flat-tered artist responded with a pleased blush. "Sketch? Oil. that! Yes, it's all right, I guess. What I meant was the way you have mannged to keep that boy quiet for so long." Philadelphia Ledger. |
