AN ARTISTS INSPIRATION.

Unable TO Draw . Picture Except In tho
Presence of Certain Figure.
Walter Burridge, the artist, tells
good story or himself and proves 1t by
showing tho blank space on the wall
whore the picture one Of the accesso-
ries of the tale, used to hang.
He went one day to the studio Of q
friend and found there an anatomical
figure, such as are to be seen in studios
everywhere. 1t was good one, and
Burridge wanted it, for his own had
been broken. He expressed desire to
have il, but the artist friend wouldn't
give it up for any money. 1t was his
inspiration, he said. He needed it even
for the composition Of a letter. And, as
for drawing anything in the human fig
ura without 1t. that was simply hope
loss. He couldn't spare IL.
SO Burridge went away. But another
day, while in the same studio and in
the absence Of the owner. a third artist,
who commonly shared the place and
worked there, said Burridge could have
the model if he wanted 1t. The owner
had concluded to get along without it.
And about an hour after the owner
came back. He sat down and tried to
draw wagon. But he couldn't. Ho
tried to write a letter that had lorg
been overdue. But he could not get his
thoughts together.
Something is gone" said he. II
can't do anything. have lost some
thing"
Maybe IL Is your brains" said the
man who shared his room. "Burridge
has been over"
''The figure. cried the artist THAT
is it," And he started out When no
came back. he brought not only the fig.
ure, but a water color sketch as we'll.
1t had taken Burridge days to complete
the picture, and it marked oncof tho
pleasantest events in his sojourn along
the grand canyon Of the Colorado.
But it squared him. Chicago Her

There was depression in the ground

the road ran along a level for awhile,
with another slight rise beyond. AS he
rode down the declivity the fugitive

tered the shop to make inquiry. The
proprietor was small German, and he
had two assistants In reply to q few
questions he told the following facts:
II started in the business Of sign
painting about five years ago. Before I
had been at it long / had numerous
calls from college students who wanted
specia, signs painted. They were in the
habit of decorating their rooms with
such plunder as beer signs, harbers'
poles, advertising thermometers, etc.,
and some of them hit upon tho idea OF
having special signs painted. Most OF
my business came from Columbia at
first, but il soon spread to New Haven,
Cambridge and Princeton, SO that now
have two assistants.
"Of course cardboard arc the cheap.
est signs, and tne more ordinary kinds
are made with stencil, such as Meals
At All Hours and Pay ut the Desk.
Board signs, as Keep O1 the Grass, ,
ITO Let, are also stencilod and are con-
sequently cheap. Hanging shop signs
are dearer and have to be done by hand.
I often have special orders, and some Of
the students have original ideas. For
Instance, there is job for which get

broken off from tho post on which II
was fixed. 1t is to bo supplied with legs
and converted into q card table, and
probably the owner will many times be
obliged to recount the daring way in
which he eluded the police with his
plumber. There is good demand for
barber poles. Beer signs l buy to order
and simply make my commission.
Another quee- fad is that Of express
