AN ARTIST. INSPIRATION.



Walter Burridge, tho artist, tells a
good story on himself and proves it by
showing the blank space on the wall
where the picture, one Of the accesso-
ries of the tale, used to hang.
He went one day to the studio of a
friend and found there an anatomical
figure, such as are to be seen III studios
everywhere. 1t was good one, and
Burridgo wanted it, for his own had
been broken. He expressed desire to
have it, 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 i'll the human fig.
ure without 1t, that vas simply hope
less. He couldn't spare it.
So Burridgo 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 Buuidgo could have
the model ii IA wanted IT, The ownU
had concluded to get along without it.

had two assistants. In reply to few
questions he told the following facts:
Il started in the business Of sign
painting about five years age. Before /

calls from college students who wanted
special signs painted. They We're III the
habit Of decorating their rooms with
such plunder as beer sign, BARRIERS

and some Of them hit upon the idea of
having special signs painted. Most OF
my business came from Columbia at
first but it soon spread to New Haven,
Cambridge and Princeton, So that now

sequcntly cheap Hanging shop signs

American Stories.

Robert Barr, who used tO be tht Luke Sharp" of tho Detroit Ere, Press, but who is the dignifed editor of a London magazine, says ths Americans have all the ideas, but Englishmen have all the finish. Re says that the American who goes tc London must guard his stories if he ever expects to use them, as they will be taken out of his mouth and made into copy before he knows it.
 Over here a literary man tries all of his ideas upon his friends before he thinks of putting them on paper. They are polished by being knocked about.
 Hopkinson Smith made up Colo nel Carter of Gainesville" out of stories he had been telling for ten years. An American would as soon have thought of stealing his spoons as his stories to mako money out of. But in England they are not so squeamish.
 Mir. Barr says that an American author came to him one day and said: Well, Barr, I've told that old yarn of mine that I meant to work into a novel oncc too often. Ono of the men you ir reduced me to has just brought it out in a magazine.

noble and pure and American away and sell themselves of European pro figacyl Our boast IS that we are democratic. The fact is we are the most snobbish and the most slsvlsh worshipers of rank of any nation in the world. It is seldom that titled fortnne-hunter fails in his suit for an American woman's hand. There is such a bewitching charm in the empty titles we affect to despise that women will feign to love effete noblemen who would, if untitled, be positively repulsive.
 Such a marriage is far from res pectable. It may take place in high society, but it is high society turned low. The pagan pomp and vulgar outlay with which it may be celebrated, only furnishes the mask that covers the mockery-the mock cry which invariably tauntS the misery in the end.
 Two million dollars for title; the outward legal form in such matters seal the lips of criticism, but mar riage it is not. As the S2,0O0,000 to be settled on the little Count are contingent on his good behavior, there is no likelihood of the money ever getting out of the Gould family.
 So common is the mercantile esti- mate of marriage becoming that I should not be surprised to see hymenial market lists chronicled in the newspapers with prices current of the stock exchange. Marriages, instead of being Gods holiest in- stitution. union on equal terms free and glad surrender of the heart is becoming so profaned and re- preached that it makes one shud- der to think of it.
