 The funny man sat in his office one day And he wrote and he wrote and he ioked
 away. The people read. and I heard them say, The funny man is exceedingly gay. Oh. if they could but read the soul that
 was there In the form all bent on the office chair Behind lips that mutterod d silent prayer, For the spirit plunged in it's deep despair. If they only knew the weight Of his woe Over things that have happened in days Of
 yore.
 The crime he committed long years ago. They would never wonder his tears should
 flow.
 For whene'er in the cushionless chair he
 sat.
 Watching the capers of the devils eat, A ghastly form rose from the mat Twas the haunting ghost, "theaier hat A gag he wrote when he was young, A gag that has lived in word and song, A gag that will kill him off ere long, And we hope it will go when he has gone.

both were struck by the engine. While the
child was hurled to one side, Mr.. Hoven-
ried fifty yards. When the two were picked
up it was found that they were dead. Both
had their skulls crushed and death must
have been instantaneous.
A pathetic incident occurred just then.
A little boy, seeing the crowd about the
Frustrated man, ran forward, and eagerly
asked If he could be of any service or
should he go for doctor. He was told
that the man was dead. With childish curl
osity he pressed forward to learn who the
victim was, and taking one glance fell in
swoon. 1t was his father, and the kindly
disposed lad was Thomas, the nine-year-old
son of the artist.
Thomas Hovenden was one of the most
conspicuous of American painters. No one
of his time had earned a wider popularity
or enjoyed to a higher degree the admira-
ton and respect of his profession: Born in
Ireland, December 2S 1910. he began his
studies in Dublin, but came to this country
in the early period of the war. In 1874 he
went to Paris, where he worked under
Cabanel. and Immediately began to exhibit
in the Salon These pictures were mainly
Of Breton peasant life His studies in Brit
amy led to an interest in the heroic strug-
giles of the people, and in 1880 he exhibited
the picture of the Vendean peasants arm
ing for battle, 'In Hoe Signo Vinces,''
which established his reputation.
In this year Hovenden returned to New
York. where the picture just named was
eXn1DlteQ at inc Natlondl Academy. Inc
sympathy with the weak and humble that
was a dominating influence in his charac-
ter interested him in the negroes and for
several years his pictures, were generally
of their life. He settled at Plymouth Meet
ing, and he and his wife set up their studio
in an old barn that had done service on
the underground railway. Here he painted
some of the best of his negro pictures, and
notably the Last Moments of John
Brown" In the plain Pennsylvania home
he found his material, TRANSPORTING it with
touch Of art. 1t is necessary to mention
only one of his later pictures, Breaking
Home Ties" to awaken a universal sym
pathy. No picture was ever painted In
America that reached as deep as this into
the universal heart of the people. The
Bringing Home the Bride" which follow
ed this, was less successful He was a
thorough master of the whole technical
range of his profession and experimental
with and mastered every new method that
came along, though his own serious style
was already well formed. He painted land
scape, flowers. portraits, all brilliantly; he
was one of the most successful American
etchers; he was widely and deeply read, and
with his Irish impetuosity he had an Irish
mans warmth of heart and sincerity of
affection that made him one Of the best
| loved men in the profession.
Mr.. Hovenden came to Washington In the
fall of 1898, and opened a studio on 18th
gave an exhibition of his works at the v.
G. Fischer gallery, which was one of the
nc st successful of the year. Mr.. Hovenden
was warmly welcomed by the Washington
artists and made many friends during his
two years Sojourn here.

Local Horses Will Settle the Question

Local Horses VIII Settle the Question
of Supremacy mt Rockville.
Considerable interest has been awakened
among local horsemen over the contro-
versy that has been going on for some
weeks between John Dugan, owner of Prin-
cess Orion. and Clayton Forney, who owns
the trotting qualities of Nina Noble as to
the respective superiority of the two
mares. The animals met Tuesday at
Brightwood Park, and after series of hot
heats Nina won the decisive one by a
nose. Mr. Dugan was not satisfied with
the result and offered to race the Princess
against Nina again. the best three in five
mile heats. After some discussion the
match was made for s215 and it was
agreed to trot it September 3, at Rockville,
on the opening day of the annual fair Of
the Montgomery County Agricultural AS
ISOLATION, which will add a substantial
purse to the side wagers. The mares are
quite evenly matched, and a coed deal of
money is being wagered on the result with
Princess Orloff slightly the favorite.
