An Easily Satisfied Artist.

From tine Buffalo News.
l heard good story yesterday of the
way two shrewd Buffalo men made $4,000
on an Investment of $50. The two men are
engaged in business, and have the reputa-
ton among their friends Of knowing how
to make money. They were walking down
Exchange street few months ago to take
a train at the Central station. On the way
down Exchange street they observed a
scenic painter at work on one of the big
ferces. He was drawing the picture of a
young colored boy In the act of being
scrubbed white by the application Of a GER
tain kind of soap.
THAT fellows clever" said one.
You bet he Is" remarked the other.
Il wonder how much he makes a week at
this business" went on the first.
Lets find OUT was the reply. They
asked the painter to step down from his
ladder and engaged him in conversation.
He told them he wGs drawing $40 a week
while the weather was pleasant. When 1t
was bad he made less. He informed them
he could draw water colors. A bright idea
struck one OF the men. He offered to pay
the fellow $50 a week II he could draw a
certain number Of water cuiors. The bar
gain was quickly made, and the painter
agreed to appear at the mems offices the
following morning. He was on hand, and
they soon had the necessary paints and
brushes before him. He started to work.
The first day he drew twenty-five water
colors. The next day he drew thirty five.
He worked for five days. and at the end of
that time there were over one hundred
water colors on exhibition in his work

To the Editor of The Evening Star:

undrum of considerable moment to a host
of opera lovers in Washington. The Dam

steal world of Washington ere long by their

knowing why the residents Of the capital
are Disseminated against in such an arbi-
trary and unusual manner by this partic-
ular organization.
The public prints announce that the cities
of Philadelphia and Baltimore will be Wis
Tied on certain dates. and also Washington.
The prices at the cities mentioned are, re-
spectively, So for orchestra seats, except
for the performances to be given mere,
where the price will be s. each.

discover why Washington should be sub
jected to this eNorbitant charge? We are
cultured and thoro, ghly appreciative ana
our audiences will favorably compare with
any, not excepting the far-famed -four

Speaker Reed and the Reporters,

David s. Barry IN the ChautauQuan
A notable example of a man who has an
intelligent idea of the proper relations of
the newspaper reporter to the public is
Speaker Reed. He is never afraid to meet
reporter or to tell the truth. He does not
patronize him or abuse him; neither does
he at all times give the Information sought
He can say no as readily and firmly as he
says yes, but he gossips with newspaper
correspondents with whom he is acquainted
with practically the same freedom that he
shows to a personal and political friend
and the result of his manliness is the al
most universal praise OF his leadership in
the House and the extraordinary good will
recently shown by the newspaper press
toward his higher political aspirations

the repeal of the highway act, but thong hit
some other evening should be taken for its
discussion. Mr.. Weller referred to the bill!
introduced in Congress Monday, providing
for the extension of the tracks of the
Capital Traction street railway. He said
the people of East Washington had long
petitionej for an extension of the tracks OF
the company along PENNSYLVANIA avenue to
the bridge across the AnacoStia river, and,
while various extensions We're provided for
in the BILL this one was left out. Mr.. Wei
Ter offered a resolution requesting the Dis
trict committees in Congress to give the
association a hearing on the Capital Trac-
ton Company'S bill, and requesting that
the bill be not passed unless the Pennsyi-
vania avenue extension was provided for in
it. The resolution was adopted.
