It was an extremely dull day, with
dark clouds overhead, when u crowd
of holiday makers stopped to watch a
smart looking man, mounted on a plat
form, transforming a plain piece of
canvas into u marvelous scene of beau
ty. Every one forgot the dark, gloomy
atmosphere as they wert transported,
first, to a beautiful spot in North
Wales, and then to a picturesque cas
tle. And it was all done in 10 min

They were pictures to he proud of,
too, painted with taste and an eye to

painted so were they sold to the ad

There is no doubt that there will be
a great demand for “rapid” artists in
the near future, when we get some of
those promised houses built, and un
doubtedly the economical housewife
will be on the lookout for good, cheap
pictures to beautify the walls of her
domain. She need search no further
than the traveling artist, who will com
plete a picture in five minutes and
charge less for it than almost any art
dealer.

These are some of the theories pro
pounded by Dr. W. W. Bailey of Dav

which held its convention In Chicago
a short time ago. The convention was

physical methods of curing diseases,
than on medical D'xtliods.
