A NEW STAR IN THE ART WORLD. 
JOHN M, LEAHY. 
Under separate cover I have sent you 4 
of my original drawings, which are the 
greatest pieces of art that have ever been 
produced. One glance at these master- 
pieces and you will forget that there are 
such men as Frederic Remington and Dana 
Gibson. 
First turn to “A Young Klondyker.” 
This drawing represents Kit Carson, the fa- 
mous scout and miner, when a boy. Notice 
the artistic touch to this picture. Also how 
firmly Kit has braced himself and how in-

dustriously he is trying to dig himself out. 
When this drawing appears in RECREATION 
subscriptions will come in by the car- 
load. 
Next comes “Hostiles.” This drawing 
represents Daniel Boone, General Crook’s 
famous scout, running across 2 Apaches. 
How Boone followed and scalped them is 
well known to every reader of frontier his- 
tory. Notice the artistic curve in the 
horse’s tail. 
Patient : 
Next comes “Indians of the Northwest 
oast.” This drawing shows 2 Comanches, 
or Delawares, I do not know which, in their 
war canoe. Something has evidently at- 
tracted their notice; but again I am at a 
loss, for I can not tell why they are looking 
in the direction in which their eyes are 
turned. 
We will now take leave of the 2 Dela- 
wares or Comanches, and pass on to “An 
Unexpected Meeting.” This drawing rep- 
resents Israel Putnam’s meeting with the 
advance guard of the British Hussars 
before he plunged down the declivity at 
Horseneck. The strongest point in this 
drawing is the thrilling manner in which

Mr. Putnam fingers his shooting iron. You 
can see by this that he is going to do some- 
thing desperate right away. 
I am afraid I haven’t money 
enough to take this treatment, doctor. 
Doctor (stiffly) : 
if you get well without it, 
me.—Life. 
Very well, sir. 
But 
don’t blame
