PEOPLE WHO BUY ANCESTORS.
In Grsat Demsnd by Those Who Fare No
Invented Them.

AuNcnteu ihem-
There ia a Regular trade done in Old
portraits OF men i'll armor and women
in medieval costumes" SAID a large
picture dealer to the writer. They arc
brought 10y persons who have made their
fortunes and want to persuade their
friends that they come Of AZ ancient
and aristocratic lineage.
Il am frequently called upon to sup
ply these fictitious ancestors, and | find
that the portrait of u gentleman III ar
mor-and ariaor is especially favored,
such as was wCrn about the time of Ed
ward will fetch almost any price, 10
matter how crude it may be. so long as
it has the old time tone.
"Only the ether week a man whose
manner spelled fortune from pork sau-
sages' applied TO Inc for a series Of an
cestors. l had three old portraits Oh
hand ut the tirlc and offered them to
him. but he did not care about them be-
cause there was no arnIor. Could l not
supply this deficiency? I said, Yes
and doubled the price of the pictures,
and he drew me "a check for G250 with
avldlty. Now he wants four more to
fill four vacant panels in the picture
gallery Of lis ancestral home.
MANY upshot Americans who come
over here buy IN the ancestors to take
home and palm eff upon their friends.
Indeed the demand for them has be.
come so great that there are four or five
portrait painters making comfortable
incomes turning out forcfathCrs.
"Of course you know that large guam
titles of ancient armor are made every
year i'll Sheffield and bought by the
same class of people, with the same OBJ
ject as the pictures. 1t is Il fact, and l

Res 1t Evolutcd From the Brutal Yell
Over q Tortured Enemy?

HA8 1t Evolutcd From tho brutal Yell
Over n Tortured Enemy:
Just as the hoof of the horse is the
remnant of an original five toes. just as
the pineal gland i'll nan is now Said TO
be the survival Of u prehistoric eye Oh
the top Of the head. so, perhaps. this
levity in regard to particular ailments
lin others) may be the descendant of an
known theory that what we call humor
arose from the same source; that the
first human laugh that ever woke the
astonished echoes of gloomy primeval
forests was not al expression of mirth,
but exultation over the misery of q
tortured enemy.
There is to this day something ter
rible in laughter. The laugh of madness
or Of cruelty is a sound more awful than
that of the bitterest lamentations.
By means of that strange phonograph
that we call literature we can listen
even now to the laughter of the dead,
to the hearty outlaws or cynical litter
ings Of generation after generation of
bygone men and women, and if we are
curious in such matters we can probe
into the nature of the changes that have
passed over the fashion of mems humor.
For it has been said, not without the
support of weighty cumulative evidence,
that, as we penetrate further into the
past, we find the sense of humor de-
pending always more obviously and
solely upon the enjoyment of the pain,
misfortune, modification or embarrass-
ment of others. The sense of superiority
was the sense of humOr i'll our ancestors;
or, i'll other words, vanity lay ut the
root Of this, as of most other attributes
of our bumptious species!
Putting a to u monograph, we
catch the echoes of a strange and merry
tumult; boisterous, cruel, often brutal,
yet with here and there a tender cadence
from some solitary voice; and presently
this lonely note grows stronger and
sweeter, as we travel slowly toward our
time, until at length, through all the
merriment, we can hear the soft under
murmur Of pity. Does the picture not
seize the imagination-the long laughter
of the ages which begins in cruelty and
ends in Observation-Disclosures Review.

ARRESTED FOR THE MANNING
MURDER.

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 21.-The excite
ment over the murder OF Dell Man
ming, the Crescent Township farmer.
still continues. Tonight Deputy Sher-
if Graham brought in Grover Huntley
a young white man who lived near
Manning. Huntley was mainly instru-
mental yesterday in securing the ar
rest of the two negroes for the murder
but strong circumstantial evidence
points to him as the guilty one, and the
farmers of the neighborhood were or
ganizing today to lynch him when the
deputy sheriff appeared to arrest him.
Footprints lead to Huntley's door from
the spot where the murderer lay in
wait for Manning, after making a
noise to decoy him out Of the house,
and a charge of murder was placed
against him tonight.

A FACETIOUS BURGLAR.

st. Joseph, Mo-. Aug. 21.-For more
than three years a burglar has been
making raids at intervals in all parts
OF the city, and although the police
have many times seemed to have THE
man in their grasp, he has always sue
ceeded in getting away, though not
generally without a fight. At an early
hour this morning the home OF Charles
A. McAhan, 1905 North Secon street,
was entered, and when the intruder
was discovered ne approached the bed
occupied by McAhan and his wife and
cooIly told them murder was not his
profession, but forcibly intimated that
quiet was necessary on the part OF the
couple. The burglar grew f%acetious as
he rifled the pockets of McAhan.
