the funny artists who want to get rich
would better come to this country and
stay here, for there is a fortune in max

that funny artists do bad work and that
the poorer the work is the funnier. But
this is not so. Work, no matter how
crude, must be done well or it is not
funny.
Take these strange pictures you some
times see in the magazines and news

a funny artist sees things exaggerated
ard when he draws them he draws them
in such q way that they are amusing
though real.
How many times have you, when talk
ing with a person who was telling you
something serious, had an inclination to
laugh which was so strong that you
could hardly control it? It is this hu-
morous turn Of mind that the artist finds
valuable to him in funny work.
y good humorist Is one who tells the
story without words. You look at a
man with his back turned to you, and
you can tell whether that man Is happy
or unhappy. The shrug Of the shoul-
ders. the set OF the coat, the pose Of the
hands. the spread OF the feet, the very
direction in which the head Is turned
tells you whether that man Is enjoying
himself or not.

The funny artist picks UP this pose,
and makes a happy man or a missra bic

A Fortunate Am erican Girl in Mexico

Quite a romance, with a most happy
ending, is told Of a bright and accom-
plished young lady of the American COL
ony, who is favorite in social circles.
Her mother now dead, had brother in
the silk trade in Hongkong. who was a
man Of family and accumulated a great
fortune. His niece, the young lady in
question, was always favorite with the
gentleman, but he quarreled with her
mother over some trivial matter, and.
being a man of strong will and great
stubbornness, for years did not CORE
spond with her, but often sent a kind
note from his distant home to his niece.
Last August he died, and it was found
when his will was opened, that he had
included his niece in Mexico, leaving har

day, has made g Will in which great
part of his enormous fortune, in fact
$50 900, 900 Of it, is to be left to charity
and educational projects, and that his
munificence comprehended some Of the
grandest Of public benefactions.
The report was that after ample pro-
vision for his wife and relatives, the
grandest scheme proposed was COM
mand to his executors that they buy the
Madison-square garden and transform

feature of Mr.. Sage's benefcence.
Mr.. Sage smiled when the report was
shown him yesterday, and although in
rare good humor, he positively declined
to say anything about the matter. One
of his clerks, who, from his manner
might have been supposed to know
more about the matter than Mr.. Sage,
