High Art in Laramie.

Yesterday n man came into h Boom
eraug Office with the wild. hunted look
of 4 married man whose wife has two
majority in the House and full control
of the Senate.
After he had heaved a sigh as large
rs a box car, and scratched his back Oh
the oriental hat rack, he asked il he
might have a mJrd with the high-art
editor.
A pensive blonde, with his feet in the
waste-papcr basket. was pointed out to
him, and TIE domestic minority poured
out his woes:
II s'pose You manage the fresco BUSH
ness for this periodical. and you ant
to bring art. and irill, and home deco
rationS up To = high standard. Well,
my wife is some on home decorations
herself, aud what wanted WAS a sug-
ccStion once in awhile from your paper
that would seem to tone her up aud clc-
vatc her tastes, rs it were. She is away
behind. want To try and discourage
her from plastering the shanty with
Michael Angelo paintings that come oil
from peach cans and tobacco pals. IL
clashes 4 little 10 have 4 plaster cast of
Shakespeare in M corner OF the room.
and q picture peeled of a baked bean
can in the other. Ii brings poetry and
grub too close together. My idea is
that aesthetics and cold chuck should
not be brought into immediate contact
i'm art. They don't harmOnizc. That's
why | told Amanda not To hang Moses
i'm the Bulrushcs' contiguous to her
painting of n Magnolia ham. Last week
She got hornswogglcd into buying some
Japanese tides of y leading brlck-a-
bracker. lie told her they were the
latest thing in tides, and she bought
seven for twcnty-one cents. We have
only three chairs that are able TO
be out, anyway, and one of them is
foundercd pretty bad, 30 four of the
tidiesG had TO bc nailed up on the wall.
The perspective in these tides is very
bad. Another thing. the red flannel
dado on the sky don't suit me. Then
the sand-hill crane is bigger than the
pa"oda, or the corral, or whatever it il.
and the iire-Crachcr funny business is
bad for sore eyes. have brought II
of the Tides along. II speaks for Itself.
Imagine 4 man coming hoinc tired and
hungry and sitting down ON 4 tidy that
has the scarlet fever. Think of 4 homo
made desolatc with 4 bowling wilder
ness of stump-tail storkS standing on
one foot and tr, ing to think Of a big
word. Put yourself in INV place, and
try TO imagine 4 home filed with night
mare of red wash bills with picturesque
japanese Congressman III their shirt
tails. rs it were, drinking Tea out of
majolica washbowls. 1 am not n hard
man To please. but ! feel rs though
something ought To- he done. OF course
it wouldn't do for me to suggest n
change to my wife directly. because she
would put 4 symphony in navy blue and
a green on my brow with n gothic
potato masher, but il the leading paper
in the country should come out. YOU un-
derstand. and say that there had been
a change, and that blue-tailcd snipcs
and bow-leggcd Cinnamon had gone out
of style. and warm meals and porter
house steak were growing in favor.
with q leaning toward ham aud eggs as
home decorations, L think that perhaps
the old oma might tumble TO TIE
racket"
That is why we have published the
above interview. We want To do all
the good we can.-BW Nycs B0omc-
