He took lessons from that noted lady, Mrs. Sandwich, and finally graduated from Cooper Union and Metropolitan Institute, New York. He taught his first class at Tliom aston and his pupils were inspired in the heayenly vocation from the start. His next class was at Americus, where he gave entire satisfaction, and proved him self a true master of his profession. He was next, in 1594, engaged by J. C. Blas ingame, president of the Jackson Insti tute. His work here has given more than mere satisfaction, for onr peeple haye learned to loye the noble qualities of the man as well as his vocation. He teaches the beginners peneil drawing with so much ease and interest that be- Pkof. O. AAL Lewis. fore they are aware of their attainments they can draw so well that not only their parents, but they themselves, are sur prised at their work. His crayon work is mastered so easily, that his pupils hardly realize how they attained to it so nicely. He is a perfect master when it comes to pastelle and oil paintings. The one thing attached to Mr. Lewis that makes his services so much sought and appreciated, is the faculty he pos sesses of imparting his knowledge to and inspiring others with a desire to be come the master of this noble vocation that he himself is. The walls of Jackson Institute are lined with pictures that would do credit to the graud old mas ters who have won for themselves fame, which are brought into existence in the Institute studio under the skillful touch of Prof. Lewis and those to whom he has this year been imparting his knowl edge for the people of Jackson.

The animal whose prototype appears above, I am sum to state, is a resident of Jackson, He lias been connected with me in the publication of lie Argus since December Ist, 1893, and though I have been diligent in seated, I have never yet found what he was good for. His anarchistic appearance carries with itself thoughts of bombs, dynamite and such articles and fills one with a feeling tor his own safety. He was born tired and up to dale has never disgraced bis birthright, inas much as he would be the last man on N. J.

He was absolutely too lazy to sit for his photograph and I had to have a pen and ink drawing made of him. Ignorance is an animate portion of' his composition and it sticks to him like a morning glory vine to a fishing pole- He hasn’t sense enough to come in out of the rain, and the suit of clothes he purchased irom Springer Bros.’second hand store is stili mildewed from the last shower. Witn these few remarks we close our praise ot him and hope ’ere the dawn of another Christmas he may be in some dime museum earning iris salary. ,T. G. McDonald. .$. G. l( O\.VML Mr. J. G.
