CHICAGO ROAD RACE SCAN DIAL.
Referee sheridan Intends to Visit Severe

Chicago, June The findings in the

number of them stand good chance Of
being disqualified from entering any road

truth had not been half told about the dis

Too MANY Pictures.

Are the works of the best modern lit
erary artists improved by illustration? :?
Can an artist with his brush or pen add
anything to the Well developed charac-
terization OF our successful novelists?
In other words. is It not the literary art
of a master amply sufficient TO portray
10 the appreciative, intelligent reader
all in his book that is charming or
thrilling or pathetic or humorous? I
believe that 1t is, and also that ii is a
literary crime for he average illustra-
tor to inject into the pages of a great
work of fiction, of whose creative forces
he can know no more than the reader.
Some of this sort of illustration is
amazingly clever but most of 1t is just
the opposite. To distinguish the pictor-
ial opportunity in book manuscript is
a work requiring rare distinction, and
too many Of our illustrators, with the
approval OF the publishers, take their
cue for a picture from such inadequate
and puerlle suggestion as that conveyed
in the familiar climax of love stories;
And she fell on his breast and wept
tears of unuterahle joy."-Sidney Fair
field, in Lippincotts.

Philosophy for Those Who Nag.
