A Rather Rough Experience rhst Taught
Artist = Lesson.

IN Artist = Lesson.
An artist who is well known in q
northern city used occasionally to put
ON his shabbiest clothes and penetrate
to the slums in search Of inspiration for
his brush. On one of these excursions
be stopped to watch the efforts of rag
ged urchin who was disfiguring the
pavement Of q squalid street with a
piece of soft blue stone, and, although
the figures which the lad drew were
grotesque. the artist was struck with
their originality and began to take an
interest in their development.
That's right. my boy! Make your
lines clear and never mind the details.
Champion! What You don't know how
to sketch that old mans head? Then
give me the chalk. I'll show you
The next moment the enthusiastic
artist was on his knees, and with the
piece Of stone had quickly drawn q
clever picture. Before he could com.
mence another sketch. however. he felt
. stunning blow on the head. and q
shrill female voice cried:
Take yer bloomiu hook, We great,
good for nought hulk What dye mean
BY messin up t'fags at I've just wash.
ed? 'Tain't no wonder at G kids do it
when . senseless old idiot like yerself sets
'em t'example. Be of, or Ill scour
t'pavcment wi yer ugly carcass"
The artist hurriedly lodged another
boot, sprang to his feet. and. without
waiting to argue the matter. sneaked
ignominiously of. He vows that he
will mind his own business when next
he goes Summing. London Telegraph.
