New York, Nov. 1O.-Mark Hanna
and Homer Davenport have met shal5-
en- hands ana declared all bets off until
next time.
Davenport is the cartoonist who pro-
vided the Republican chairman with
campaign clothing. constructed of dol
lar-mark plaid, and pictured him as
an unclassifed animal with distorted
vet recognizable features. After the
election Davenport expressed a wish to
meet Hanna personally, and Secretary
Perkins of the national committee ar
ranged a meeting.
The chairman was not in the secret,
Mr.. Perkins led the way into Hauna's
room and said.
Mr. Hanna. allow me to introduce
you to MIR. Homer Davenport
Mr.. Hanna's face took on a SemiSer-
ious expression as he put out his hand
and shook hands. saying.
SO you are the scamp, are you,
that's been doing it2" Well, amt you
Then he added III admire your gen
ius and execution, but - your con-
ceptisn."
Il don't mind meeting anybody I have
ever caricatured, said Davenport,
providing he is a broad gagged man
but I am afraid of their wives. Women

Don't let Mrs. Hanna get her hands
on you" laughed the chairman.
Wei, now, Davenport, tell me" said
Mr.. Hanna, as the pair parted. what

the answer Going to get a look at
parliament and do little work and

sWhile we chatted I studied that
face which is better worthy study than
d the physiogonomy of any other public
man. 1t is quite easy to pour out
dribbling of fun in the way Of carica-
ture on almost any mans face; but to
be effective. or, in other words, to pre-
sent a mans picture 50 that IL Will not
be an advertisement for him. you must
study him closely For example, Mr.
Hanna's nose is chubby and slightly re-
trousse. The only thing to do with that
case is to make the nose more so. His
eve is small and rolling; so you make
it smaller and more rolling. IF a man
hair is thin you can make him uncom-
Portable by drawing it thinner and make
him feel cDarser by drawing it cOarser-
When you are closer to Mr.. Hanna s
remarkable optic it looks like well
worn shoe button; at the distance of a
few feet it has the appearance OF
granulated eye; at the distance Of
few yards 1T is a mere speck. 1t could
be drawn SO fine as to look like a Gin
der on an eye ball
His eye shifts like the eye Of a par
rot and you can't make a move that he
does not follow You have seen the
elephant in a circus parade keeping
step with the band, his trunk extending
toward one side of the street, pleading
for pop corn and his beady eyes scan
ming the other side Of the street in hope
of peanuts. Mr.. Hanna's rowing optics
remind me of those of that noble beast.
Mr. Hanna's forehead is quite low
and pinched al the top A physiognO-
mist would say that his ear indicates
the possession of as great genius for
music as for organization His small
lump of Whiskers near the ear is easily
made-as you viii nOtice-tO look like
an unplaned cedar board 1t is neces-
sary to mention these little details in
writing of a character SO great as Mr..
Hanna, and it is safe TO say that the
inch long spots on the sides OF his jaw
he did not dream of their Importance
in his caricature of today Neither did
ne think what GOODNESS and cruelty
they would add TO a face already Of
low tempera ture.
Mr. Hanna, you could tell at a
glance is not The type of a man who
labors for other persons. Notwith
standing his work in this campaign you
may be sure that the people will soon
have reason to know why his work has
been ia the direction of Me- inley. When
the harvest is over Mr.. Hanna viii have
