Mordaunt, about April 80, 1869, had
been suffering from a disease of the
nervous system, affecting the brain and
spinal cord, from which she had con-
tinued to suffer ever since. The cita-

Hall on that day.

opened on Feb. Is by Mr.. Sergeant Bal
l~antine, who described the confession
of guilt made by Lady Mordaunt after
the birth of her child to her nurse, to
Mrs. Cadogan and to Sir Charles him

Charley, you are not the father of
this child. Lord Cole is the father OF
the child, and l, myself, am the cause
of its blindness"

During Che past decade a class Oh
trained humorous writer's has sprung
NJ large enough TO supply all the
10 after needed on the distinctivcly
comic papers like Puck, Judge and
Life as well as the humorous depart
ments In the various weekly, monthly
and daily publications that set aside q
part of their space for that purpose.
Many of these writer's are. TO a certain
extent, known to the public. But there
are many who have contributed liber-
ally to American humor, without ever
having their names in print. 1 refer Of
course to men who make a speciality Of
four-line dialogues, humorous para
graphs and suggestions for cartoons,
who are utterly unknown to the gem
eral public, though they may have a
very high standing with editors and
publishers.
How many times have I heard It said
of this or that c~artoonist; "Ue's just
brimful of bright, clever ideas" when
I happened TO know that the artist In
question never had an original idea in
his life, and could do nothing but
embody-with genuine artistic skill
perhaps-the ideas furnished him by
others.
Early in PuclS's history a certain Miss
Rowland" began TO furnish in a delicate
feminine hand jokes, funny stories and
suggestions for pictures to the paper,
and so satisfactory was her work that
it was decided to offer her a regular
salaried position in the office. The offer
was made and accepted and, a desk hav-
ing been fitted up for her, notice was
given to the members of the editorial
and artistic stats hat a young lady was
expected and that they must keep their
conversation within suitable Chester
fieldian limits.
The mex morning "Miss Rowland"
arrived in the person of O man of un.
kempt aspect and bibulous face, who
waited about him, a distinct odor Of
strong drink. His name, he said, was
David Stuart Lloyd. He was the grand
nephew of Gilbert Stuart, the portrait
painter, and the husband of a pretty
and clever woman whom he had taken
from the stage.
,Eloyd's name is forgotten now by the
few who ever knew it, but many Of the
cartoons which he inspired are held as
rare treasures by those who are fortu-
nate enough to possess them.

quent contributor of pseudonymous
matter TO the comic paper. His matter
was so bad that it was usually thrown
In the waste basket, so he resorted to
the trick, years ago, of writing under
assumed names and rdisguising his
handwriting, but he always betrayed
his identity by using gummed paper in
place of envelopes in which TO enclose
his contributions.
In a great many cases a cartoon is the
result of the work and suggestions of
half a dozen people, though the artist
Is, of course, the only one who receives
any credit for it. A case in point Is the
picture Of the tattooed man, one Of
the most effective and famous of modern
cartoons.
Prior to the campaign Of 's4, a WELL
known comic weekly began 10 publish
a series of pictures representing polit-
ical shows, such as the political beauty
contest, the political minstrels, etc,
Bernard Gillian submitted the rough
sketch of u political dime museum with
various statesmen in the garb Of
freaks" In this sketch David Davis
was made to figure as a tattooed man,
To this Mr.. Schwarzmann, the head Of
the firm, objected on the ground that
Mr., Davis was not the sort of man to
represent as tattooed. He suggested
Blaine as the best subject for the tat
tooing. In this view Mr.. Carl Hauser,
who had originally suggested the carr
toon, acquiesced, and the change was
accordingly made. Mr.. Hauser was and
is still the principal writer Of the Ger.
man edition OF the paper and has sug-
gested many successful cartoons.
1t was then proposed to tattoo him
with Bribery "Mulligan Letters"
'Guano Statesmanship" and other
phrases, and finally the figure of Blaine
was given the greatest prominence In a
picture representing all the presidential
aspirants as freaks In a dime museum.
The cartoon made a great noise through
out the country, and it was largely on
account Of It that Mr.. Gillian was after
wards made the artistic head OF the
Judge.
