HUGO'S DRAWINGS,
The Famous French Author Might
Have Been a Great Painter.

The Famous French Author Might
Have Been a Great Painter.
1t will not be without interest to say
a word or two with regard to the draw
ings of Victor Hugo. We shall find
some excellent specimens hanging in
the billiard room. Victor Hugo drew
with passionate enthusiasm, and this
enthusiasm passed from his brain into
the least line he drew. He had besides
this an instinct for the dramatic, lie
found it everywhere-in the tempest, in
the cabin, in tuft of grass as we'll as
in the sldereal immensities. This per-
petual consciousness of the dramatic in
everything was so natural to him that
il he took a sheet of paper, a little
black coffee and the end of a match he
could, by looking into his own magma
tion that transformer of memory, draw
in quick succession, as if from life, the
dramatic pictures which followed one
another there.
There is only one other man who pos
sessed to so great a degree this faculty
for creating the fantastic and visionary
This was Gustave Dore. But the fam
tastic of Dore is commonplace and
without dignity, whereas that of Hugo
is superb and original. And why?
Without doubt because Hugo was
transmitting his own particular dreams
while Dore realized those of all the
world.
So, CHI tn he l..
gar sense in Hugo's drawings, but a
spontaneous creativeness, contemptu-
Gus of all rule and of everything ever
seen before. 1t is the vigorous and
pure expression of the idea predominant
| ing for the moment in his mind, the
only one, because of its very intensity,
and this spontaniety is carried to such
| a degree that almost all these drawings
seem to have been done by the light of
a flash of lightning. Add to this that
| this man, so adept with his hands and
| persevering, brought an immense
amount of concentration and skill to
bear upon his works, which gave them
| the air of things materially rare. These
| observations seem to to explain why
Victor Hugo, in his manifestations as
a graphic artist, remains an inimitable
master and of power equal to that
which he displayed in literary direc-
tion.-G. Jeanniot, in Scribner's.

EXPENSIVE GRATITUDE.

In one of the western states an excit-
ing murder trial was in progress. It
happened that the attorney for the de-
fence had in his employ a eolored pOr-
ter. who naturally became very much
interested in the case.
When the jury retired he awaited
their return with feverish Impotence.
At last, after several hours, they came
in with a verdict of mot guilty" At
the announcement the negro's self-con-
troll deserted him entirely, and he cried
out. Thank de Lord"
The judge Immediately called him up
and fined him ten dollars for contempt
of court. The poor fellow was nearly

arts Dyspepsia Tablets.
Interesting Experience of an indiana
apolis Gentleman.

No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
People having it think that their
nerves are to blame and are surprised
that they are not cured by nerve med
icine and spring remedies; the real seat
of the mischief is lost sight Of; the
stomach is the organ to be looked AFTER
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach, nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms
of stomach weakness. Nervous dys-
pepsia shows itself not in the stomach
so much as in nearly every other or
gan; in some cases the heart palpl-
tates and is irregular; in others the
kidneys are affected; in others the
bowels are constipated, with head
aches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite, with accu-
mutation of gas, sour risings and
heartburn.
Mr.. A. w, Sharper of No. 81 Prospect
ST., Indianapolis, Ind, writes as fol-
lows "a motive of pure gratitude
prompts me to write these few lines re-
garding the new and valuable medl-
cine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. l

pepsia for the last four years; have
used various patent medicines and
other remedies without any favorable

sedentary habits, being a bookkeeper
with little physical exercise, but am
glad to state that the tablets have

It is safe to say that Stuart's Dys-

A great many people are anXiously await

Talmage's presence in Kansas City is al

Il knew DIR. Talmage." said the count
the other day, when he was a member of
the Rutgers class of 1855. He was noted
for his jOvial disposition and liked to have
his fun. At the same time he was intensely
religious and gave indications of the re-
markable gifts of intellect which he has
since developed. He had a fervid magma
tion and a tiuency which have since made
him one OF the foremost preachers of the
century. DIR. Talmage sat under the preach

his spirit. There was much in common

INDEPENDENCE.
Children in the District. a Big
Increase Over 1896.

ID. c. Berry has finished taking the GEN.
sus of school children in the Independence
district. The report shows an increase of
276 in the number of children who have ar
rived at school age over that of last year.
The total number of school children in the
district is 1892, of which 1,lg2 are white
males and 1.2l6 white females. There are
256 colored male children and 25S colored
females. The Fourth ward is the banner
ward for school children. This ward has
40 white children of school age. The in
crease in the number of children eligible to
the public schools only substantiates the
plea made by the school board that more
room is needed and that the present build
ings are inadequate to accommodate the
children entitled to d free school education.

widespread rejoicing.
The great mass of the people of Chicago
was against the bills and many meetings
of protest have been held the past few
weeks.
Ever since the bills had been passed by
the senate a strong Yerkes lobby had been
here and there were many charges of Of
fers of bribes. but no positive evidence OF
corruption could be secured and the vote
to-day showed that the lobbyists had failed
TO use Doodle effectively.
