ago. The volume is larger and there
are more people employed than prior to
the presidential election. The movement
of merchandise in the last five months
has been disappointing, but jobbers are
beginning to report fair orders for fan
delivery. The encouraging features an

in May railroad earnings and the ad-

Booklet of 40 pages, by Robert j.
Burdette, the humorist. 1t is hand
somely printed on mummy paper"
with broad margins, and is beauti-
full specimen of typographical art. As

Daleth-"Sweet Bells Jangled;" He

lively to severe The frontispiece is
an excellent portrait of Henry G..

my house-my grandfather's, my
fathers, mine own and my sons"

Prof. Erench's Lecture.

Seldom is a popular lecture more
aptly named than that given last eve
ming in the Normal chapel by Prof.
French of the Chicago Art Institute
on the wit and Wisdom of the
Crayon." The lecture, replete with
the more vital suggestions of art, was
at the same time so mellowed by an
undertone of humOr that the audience
was scarcely aware that the ideas it
was so easily mprehending were the
essential principles underlying all
artistic composition. BY verbal IL
lustration and by liberal use OF the
crayOn and the paper chart, Prof.
French carried his hearers by easy
transitions from the simple process of
blocking" to the more delicate task
of outlining, toning and coloring a
picture. With deft strokes and with
the utmost sureness, the artist sketch
ed upon the brown paper, giving a
distinct impression at every turn and
never failing of his point.
theme was to show the analogy
between the composition of painting
and that of literary essay or poem.
In developing this analogy he showed
how essential and how real a part
must be played by mechanics and
provision in composing either great
nictOre or a great nOpm POeis an
alysis of his famous Raven was
instanced as an example of scientific
provision. This view Of art, reluctant
as many OF US are to accept it, is
entirely wholesome; il does away with
the traditional attitude of the poet
vainly waiting for the muse and fruit
lessly chewing up the feathered end
of his quill before dipping its point
into the ink.
Besides conclusively illustrating
this analogy between painting and lit
erature, the artist wrote upon his
chart about a dozen rules of compost
ton, whose application he illustrated
by drawing several pictures in color.
Altogether the lecture was wholly
entertaining and most instructive.
The audience is richer by the acquain-
lance Of a mastery art-scholar, and
the Normal School by the worth of an
entertaining lesson in drawing and
the possession of chart Of very sug-
cestiye pictures.

Few men ever became more famous
in minute than VIM. Allen White
Of Emporia, Kansas. Mr.. White is a
country newspaper man-they are the
real nobility of this country-and a
com bination of domestic circum-
stances required his absence from
home for a few days. So he sat down
in hurry one day to grind out some
editorials to leave on the hook to fill
space with while he was gone, while
he left the boy to hustle for locals
which is the chief end of man on a
small daily paper. It's hard enough
to write one editorial, but when it
comes to a dozen at a time, it's
enough to drive a man to water,
though Of course that's no sign you
can make him drink. And so, while
just fighting the newspaper mans
hopeless and relentless fight against
space, Mr.. White wrote whats The
Matter With Kansas. THE Philos-
