ly said about his services to Amer ican art, it was a good speculation to buy pictures and wait ten years for the market to catch up with him. But the artists grocer wouIdn't wait ten years. Innes, whose pictures brought the best prices, has been dead 8 long time. He was already an old man when the French painter, Benjamin Constant, ''discovered' him. Before that he had been very poor.
 Jervis MeIntee is dead, too. He got small prices for his work, though 1t sells better now. As for other men whose work sold for fair prices, this as sures them better vogue in the future; but it is not long since I myself bought a good Chase and Bruce Crane-the former for $40 at auction, the latter at S60 at private sale, frames and carr age included.
 Chase has long had the show studio of New York, but a large part of his income has been gained by teaching art at high prices, and his expensive furniture has been a part of his teach ing outfit, which he has kept up often with some difficulty. Indeed, much Of it was once sold out by the sheriff.

Gould, an old maid and a good one, doesn't count socially like a married woman. Anna is in Paris, her life clouded by that amiable scamp, her husband, Count de Castellane. George married an actress, once known on Daly's stage as Edith Kingdom. She is an estimable lady, but by no means to the manor born, while George was caught and caged too young in his fathers office to be at his ease in so- ciety. Edwin married the daughter of Dr. George F. Shrody, who is not in so- ciety. Howard Gould has married an actress whom society will not take up. At present, therefore, the Goulds have not, for all their wealth. the secure hold upon social distinction which they naturally desire.
 Helen Gould can have about all the social distinction she needs, as she is serious and does not care to waste much time in nonsense, but the case is different with Mrs. George Gould, who has five children growing up for whom one day husbands and wives must be found. She wishes a firm seat in the inner circle for their sales as we'll as her own. OWEN LANGDoN.

Pe-ru-na is known from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Letters of eongratula- ton and commendation testifying to the merits of Pe-ru-na as eatarrh rem edy are pouring in from every state in the Union. Dr. Hartman is receiving hundreds of such letters daily. All classes write these letters, from the highest to the lowest.
 The outdoor laborer, the indoor arti- san, the clerk, the editor, the statesman, the preaeher-all agree that Pe-ru-na is the eatarrh remedy of the age. The stage and rostrum, recognizing eatarrh as their greatest enemy, are especially enthusiastic in their praise and testi- mony.
 Any man who wishes perfect health must be entirely free from catarrh. Ca tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost omnipresent Pe-ru-na is the only ab- solute safeguard known. l cold is the beginning of catarrh. To prevent colds. to cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of it's victims. Pe-ru-na not only cures ca tarrh, but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great rem edy for coughs, colds and so forth.
 The Governor of Oregon is an ardent admirer of Pe-ru-na. He keeps it con-

SHE regular army of the United
 States has many ups and downs
 in point of numbers and popular ity. Even with the great wars in which this country has been engaged both at home and abroad it's strength has never exceeded trifIe over TO- 900 officers and men, and it has been as low as so. Both the maximum and minimum of these numbers were att fained when the land was at peace with the entire world, but both immediate ly followed and were, the result of war
 In point of popularity the army has at times been hailed as a body of he roes, and again it has been condemned as mere lot of riot breeders of whom the country had no need.
 The history of the army of the United States really dates from June in 1775 when the continental congress named Gen. Washington as the commander-in- chief, and provided for the organiza- ton of an army from the hordesl of state militia and volunteers that had thronged 10 Boston to protect the rights of the eololists. But even this was not standing army, even after it had passed through the radical reor- ganization which Washington gave the 15,0o0 men he found assembled about the city of Boston, and while they were rightly termed the American army it was merely an army of militia and vol- unteers.
 Attn close of the revolution the con- IL ' 1,f,5 had fought for and won the independ-- ence of nation down to 80 officers and men. This occurred in May, 17s4 and but week before congress had dele gated to the various states the duties of protecting the frontiers with the local militia, and militia it was that
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1899-03-05

fought the red man, with varying sue cess, for several years afterwards.
 Washington, in his farewell address to congress, as the commander-in-chief of the continental armies urged the maintenance of small standing army. The number he suggested as being in his judgment adequate to meet such requirements of the times as could be attended to was 2,631 officers and men. Acting on his suggestion, the congress made feeble effort to recruit an army, and the following year TOO men were on the rolls. But the little army was not popular. While congress had accepted the advice of Washington and attempt ed to organize a standing army, they did not know what to use it for after they had secured even a small force. The authority of the legislative body was exercised by sufferanee only during the days when the leaders were but build ing the foundations of the republic, and the army could not be sent hither and yon to quell an Indian uprising or other disturbance that came under the provinces of the state governments only. For the lack of employment the officers and men fell into habits of drunkenness, and from that into a total disregard of their positions, until the people condemned them as an evil with which they could well dispense again.
 But after the establishment of the government on solid basis in 17s9, and with the esta blishment of the war department as one of the branches of the government on August of that year, the army began 10 improve, and by 1793 congress had authorized an army of 6.90e men, but large percentage of that number were never recruited. In i796 the number of men allowed by law was again reduced 10 2,S00, only to be increased again two years later, when
 war with France was threatened, to 13,O0o Of this force Washington was called to be the general in chief with the rank of lieutenant general, the highest rank the great general ever at tained in the regular army of the United States. though he held the rank of general in the continental army.
 With the passing of the war cloud came the death of Washington, and the army had lost its greatest friend. But a few wmonths after Washington's death a new agitation was started against the army. and an effort made to abolish it entirely. While the effort was unsuc- cessful, it did result in its reduction to the small force of 3.4o0 officers and men, and two years later it was reduced to an even 5000 In 1s0s, when war was threatened with Great Britain, con gress voted to increase the army to 5000, but as the threatened war was

of men allowed the army was not agaln changed until 1891, when 1t was re duced to 6,o0o, and at that point it re- mained until the breaking out of the war with Mexico, when ten additional regiments were authorized and the army recruited 10 24,033. At the close of this conflict it was again reduced. to ,905, and on March 3, 1855, numbered 12,698. At the breaking out of the civil war it had increased to 1T,113. While a heavy increase was advised by the president and authorized by con gress, the number of men in the reg ular establishment never amounted to more than 25,000 at any time during that memorable conflict, but the his tory of that 25, ,000 men is one of the bril- liant pages in the history of the coun- try. As in the previous wars, the yalor and bravery of the little standing army was never found wanting. The rec ords of the war department record no greater acts of hefoism during the dark days of '61-'e5 than those performed by this little handful of men,
 During the first few years of the re- construction period the regular army reached its highest strength, congress allowing a total of 0,25s, including of lcers and men of all branches of the service. The army appropriation bill of March 3, 1869, provided for the re- |duction to 25 regiments of infantry, 10 regiments of cavalry and regiments of artillery. While the number of men varied at different times, this contin- ued te represent the organization of the army until last spring when an addi- tional two regiments of artillery were

No new favorite; Lucille 7"
 "Got stuck on them, did you?" re- marked, unfeeIingly, well, it served you right"
 "They are fresh from the press and as good as sold," said the publisher complacently; tits many years since Lucille was first printed, and no year since then has passed without the ap- pearance of it's new edition; some years as many as three. And no pulp fisher ever lost money on good edi- tion. Handsome, well-bound copies sell better than cheap ones.
 Another odd thing: It sells better in the spring than at the holidays. When young man starts for a summer resort he drops Lucille in his trunk. If he hirts with a pretty girl, he reads it aloud to her on the beach or in the woods and at the end of the season gives her the copy with a sentiment written on the fy-leaf. Next year he buys another. Experienced summer girls must have whole rows of copies on their shelves,
 Here's another thing, added the publisher, handing me a tiny book. Some 15 years ago, when our firm was reorganized, we scheduled the plates and copyright of this book of poems for about ten or fifteen dollars; every body supposed its sale was over. We'll it has kept on selling ever since. We have sold between 60000 and 75,C90 copies of it. Never advertised it, never pushed it-it sells itself, and we don't know why"
 I looked at the book. The verse was neither very good nor very bad; some thing in the ''te dunn tiddysdum tiddy- dunn tiddy-dum. meter of eLueile." was amazed to find that I had never heard of either the author or the book. I don't believe you ever have.
 Why, this stuff's easy to do, said. "I know clever poets who print editions of 200 copies and give them away, at that. shall advise them to write like this fellow"
 "They mightn't sell if they did. Life's too short to understand the queer things we run up against in my business said the publisher.

again averted for long time the men were never recruited.
 December 9, 1811. when war with Great Britain was again threatened, congress voted to increase the regular army to 10000, but on June 6, 1812 two days after war had been declared, but 6,744 of that number had been re- cruited, and the war was fought by volunteers and militia, although the regulars were the mainstay of the gov ernment during the trying days of the two years that followed.

Presence. Hang it all" he said to his companion as they reached the street, 1T did offer it to him, and to every other editor in the country, and they wouldn't look at it." The Badge was first published by newspaper syndi- cate, by the way.
 One of the most distinguished Amer ican authors in the London colony told me that he offered his first book to % American publishers. The manuscript wore out, and he had it copied. Having business in England, he took it with him, and it was there accepted at once.
 NOW" said the London publisher, "have you sold the American rights?"
 No" said the author. "As we have made an arrangement, don't mind say ing that every publisher in the states aas rejected it."
 Nevertheless the proofs were sent, with the imprint of the great London house on them, to two New York pub fishers. Aeceptances were promptly received from both.
 No one can blame publishers for buy ing what they think will sell, whether it has the London mark on it or not But it's discouraging to the brethren of the pen. An artist gets along much better, especially if he has no idea of painting $60,o00 portraits for retired washerwomen in New York society, like NJ. Carolus Duran, but sticks to it. frustrating.
 Even newspaper artists-young fel- lows who can draw fairly good pictures for photo-reproduetion-get from $50 to S60 per week, about the normal fig ure for good men-and women. Car toonists and idea men" have much higher pay and are independent. Messrs. Bush, of the World; Nelan, of the Herald, and Davenport, of the Jour- nal, who are the leading cartoonists, get from $S,0o0 to S10,000 a year.
 Fashionable book and magazine illus traitors fare equally well. The more successful of them will not undertake any drawing for less than $75 or $1O0. Gibson won't touch an order of less than S1,000 in total. Remington sold a series of B fairly large drawings for $50 each. The drawings of famous illustrator remain his property after the publication. and sell for prices gov

added. At the time the number of regi- ments were reduced the number of of tlcers and men was fixed at 37313. This number was again reduced on July IS, 1870. another 2,o00 enlisted men; again on July 1, 1871, to an even 30,00o, and on July 16, 1874, to 25,000. With but little variation it has remained at this figure until the breaking out of the war with Spain, when authority was given to recruit the regular service to full war footing, 12 companies to each regiment, including the new artillery commands. During this conflict enough of these emergency enlistments were recorded to bring the standing army close 10 60,00O, and for the first time in the history of the country the regular service furnished the majority of the troops actually engaged in one of the mostimportant, and the decisive, battle of that short conflict And what a glorious record they builded for them- selves at Fl Caney and Santiago.

 When the governor had gone, I asked the barber if he knew who his client had been.

erned by his vogue. At the last sale of Gibson's work, prices ranged in the neighborhood of $1Qo each for pictures already paid for and printed. Coarse, scratchy things they are, too; for Mir. Gibson draws with 8 rapid pen on a huge cardboard.
 The demand for pictures has ex- banded beyond the supply. Posters and drawings for Photographic advertise ments have divided lot of money among the artists.
