ful Worj of Art, to be Seen at

laye Blacksmith," by H. de Mareau,
will be on exhibition at Donelan's
store for two weeks, beginning Mon

cordial invitation to the public to call

,.. The size of the canvas is 7x8 feet,
It was painted in a blacksmith shop
in Lyons, France. The public did not
see it for nearly a year afterward
Mareau was a very poor man, and .it
the time of his death was' indebted to
the blacksmith 100 francs for his ser
vices as a model and the use of the
shop. The blacksmith, anxious to se
cure what was due him, called upon
the widow, and informed her of the
existence of the picture, and she at
once endeavored to sell it. After
showing it to a number of art dealers
in Paris she was offered $2,500.00 for
it by M. Doubette, and the offer was
accepted. He entered the canvas at
the Grand Salon where it received 1
bronze medal and was resold for $12
500.00. It has changed hands five
times since each time the price in
creasing. The present owner, E.
Thalls, of Boston, paid $42,500.00 for
the canvas.
When it was brought to America
was first exhibited in Wanamaker's
Philadelphia. Since then it has been
exhibited-,'in that city five times,
has traveled over 70,000 miles in the
United States, and has been viewed by
over 12,000 000 people, who have been
permitted to see it in the big stores 'u

The spear has a long and Interest
ing history. It was made by Charles
Barnes in Ohio in tb« year 1839, who
emigrated to this state (then a ter
ritory) and settled on his new p.ur
jchase south of Eddyvllle. The spear
was traded to Chief Wapello for a
pair of moccasins and a pair of buck
skin trousers. The Chief carried this
spear on his hunting and fishing trips
along the Dea Moines river, from
Agency to Red Rock for some years.
On his last hunting and fishing trip
he stopped at the village of Eddy
vllle, (then a trading post) and left
with his Indians and some white men,
who had Joined tfce party, on a hunt
ing trip south of the Avery creek,
and continued south to the hills tJf
Soap creek, where the white men left
the party and returned to the trading
post at Eddyville. while the Indians
continued down the Des Moines river.

Chief Wapello had left his spear at
a small storo belonging to Michael
Welch, and as he never returned to
claim It, the spear remained around
the Welch premises for some years.
When CharleB Stevens waB about
fifteen years old he found the spear
in an old stable, belonging to Michael
Welch at Eddyvllle: His grand-father
Charles Bates, recognized the spear
as soon as he saw it, and. took it to
Mr. Stevenson's father's home, wher«
it remained until his father's death,
Charles H. Stevenson then took tha
spear to his home where he kept It '^r||
for over fifty years. The spear is not vjS?
noted for it's beauty or simplicity, 'j&j
