Excerpt from Eli Perkins (at Large): His Sayings and Doings The literary part of this book may not be very nice, but the cover is pretty and the pictures are life-like. The picture of my Uncle Consider on the first page is considered a good likeness. I presume the reader recognizes the broad, massive, thick Perkins skull. To get that soft, sweet expression of the countenance in my uncle's picture, I - I, sat for it myself. I often sit for the artists when they want to produce their masterpieces. I sit for all kinds of pictures - landscapes, animals, marine views, and - The last picture I sat for was a farm-yard scene. It represented a "pious farmer feeding his geese." Henry Ward Beecher he sat for the farmer, while I sat for the rest of the picture. I am a great artist in my way. I drew all the pictures in this book - drew 'em in a lottery. Besides drawing nice pictures, I'm studying now so as to draw hundred dollar checks and drafts such as Jay Cooke drew and Daniel Drew.
