NOT THE CHICAGO WAY.

An Artist Who Couldn't Understand VAST
ing Money on Telescopes.
One Of the foreign artists at present
1T work at the fair grounds accepted an
invitation the other day to inspect the
art collection Of Mr.. Charles T. Yerkes,
says the Chicago correspondence of Town
Topics. This particular artist is. by
birth Hollander, and is an ardent ad-
mirer of the Dutch school.
After inspecting and admiring the
contents of the art gallery in the cable
railway magnate's Michigan avenue
mansion, the artist told Mr.. Yerkes of
a magnificent picture that he knew of
in Amsterdam, the price of which was
unfortunately beyond the reach of any
one man, but which he could not help
thinking would prove magnificent ad-
dition to the collection.
II do not know how rich man you
are, Mr.. Yerkes," he said, mournfully,
''but o, If you could only buy that
work."
Mr.. Yerkes asked the value OF the
picture, and the artist, with great deli
cacy, declined to tell it to him in his
own house, after receiving hit hospi-
tality, but said he would let him know
it at future day. On leaving the house
the American friend in whose company
he had made the visit asked the artist
what the price OF this wonderful picture
really was. r..
"Oh, fortune" was the reply. "sev-
eral fortunes-well, say two hundred
thousand francs"
"Why, man." said the other. "that's
nothing. Yerkes could buy ten pictures
like it and not feel. it. Why, do you
know he has just given away telescope
costing five hundred thousand dollars?"
"Goot Got!" exclaimed the artist in
amazement, "what will you crazy
Americans do next? Fancy spending
five hundred thousand dollars to look
at the heavens, when for two hundred
thousand francs you could buy picture
like that to look at all the timer

TO CURB BRITISH SWEARING.

An Old Statute Against Profanity Put In
FOrce In England,
Some time ago the suggestion was
made in one Of the London newspapers
that a society should be formed to sup
press the growing evil and scandal Of
street profanity. 1t was generally ad.
mitted that English towns We're dis
gracefully preeminent in the matter Of
cursing and swearing in public places
and that English street loafers pos
sessed probably the foulest mouths in
all christendom. The proposal came to
nothing for various reasons, one of
which was that it would be as unpopu-
lar and dangerous to interfere with the
English worlklnen's privilege to curse
whenever he felt that way inclined as
to meddle with his right to get drunk
1t has been tardily discovered that the
statute book actually contains an act
passed. in the reign of George II. "for
the suppression of profanity" and the
law was put in force tho other day ut

A Now Jsb.Prin,inx Outfit.

DuIlng Tue years Since the county WaS

In the minutes of the last meeting OF

1t is to be hopfd, that the county board
will not give tbesanditor any further pow.
ers Of guardianship over the new officers.
Most Of them are strangers to Billspors,
and it would not be- humane or just to
compel them to suddenly amend their
habits of life. Furthermore. coming as
they do. from rural homes. they will a,
first, of course, be uDaccustomed to the
ways of the city. 1t would be proper fol
the county board to empower their guar
dian to insist that they do not appea,
barefeot at their official desks, but they
should be allowed to wander about the
streets at will, gaze at the shop windows
and read the signs. Neither should theil

and take part in Sunday school. provided
they will bind themselves not to rob the
