ART STUDENTS OF NEW YORK.


They Live in a Manner Very Unlike
That of Paris Students.
The art schools of New York and the
life of the students in them is handled
in an interesting manner in the Wom-
ans Home Companion in an article en-
titled The Girls Art Schools of New
York" As to how the young women
students live the author writes as fol-
lows:
There is no absurd dressing among
the art students in New York-at least
not after they have attended the classes
for day or two; and the popular no
ton that all art students live in dingy.
barren garrets, cook their own meals by
means of their oil-lampS, and live gen
orally upon the outer ragged edges. has
no ground in fact, so far as the stu
dents in New York are concerned.
There are some such cases, but they
are extremely rare. In the great ma
jority of cases the students, if they can
not afford 10 pay for the necessities
from their own pocketbook, stay away
from the city until they can borrow SUI
fcient funds. Many girls with thin
purses attend only halliday classes. and
work at some commercial occupation
the rest of the day. know of several
girls who do enough type-writinS in the
mornings 10 pay for their afternoon art
lessons and their board besides, while
numbers II students work for salary
in the daytime and attend art classes
at night only.
THE art students Of New York do not
seek living places in any one particular
part Of the town: as do the students Of
Paris. The various art schools are in
widely separate sections of the city, and
as living near TO their schools means so
much saved in car-fare, the girl stu
dents usually live within easy walking
distance Of their respective class
rooms. Possibly % per cent of the stu
/ dents board with private families or
| live in ordinary boarding houses.

transportation, the general Introduction
of the telegraph, and the perfection OF
the sewing the reaper, the
mower, and many other valuable de-
vices. During the Civil War the pro-
ductior Of patents fell off, but no sooner
had Il > volunteer troops returned to
their homes than a wonderful fertility
of invention was displayed. Ideas that
had been developing in the minds OF
the soldiers during their life in the
camps were put into models by the
thousand and sent to Washington. In
1865 the number of patents granted
was G,616, and in 1861 it had run up to
13,O2G. 1t remained for a time at about
that annual figure, being, in 1870, 49,
94I; but in 1876, the year of the Cen
tennial Exposition, which powerfully
stimulated inventive genius, it reached
the highest number yet attained, 1926.
Then there was steady recession, and
by 1880 the patent crop had fallen back
10 1917. Since 1888 the number of
patents annually issued has exceeded
10000. During the calendar year 1899
there were issued 25.527 patents.
one of the old examiners in the Pat
emf Office estimates that about one in
vention in twenty-five repays the cost
of taking out a patent Yet inventors
as a class are sanguine men, and no
knowledge of the enormous percentage
of chances against them will deter them
from multiplying ingenious devices.
Every one expects a fortune from his
particular piece of mechanism. Ey-
cry one has heard not only of the enOr-
nous sums realized from the great in
ventions of the last half-cGntury, but
also of the large returns yielded by
things apparently trifing which have
struck the public fancy or met the pub
lie need. The toy called the return
ball, small ball attached to an elastic
string, is said to have produced a profit
of $50. GOO Il year; the rubber tip on
lead-pencils has yielded a competence
10 the inventor; more than $1,000,000
has been earned by the gimlet-pOinted
screw, the inventor of which was so
poor that he trudged on foot from Phil
adelphia to Washington to get his pat
ent; the roller-skate has yielded ST.
100000 after the patentee spent S125,000
in England fighting infringements; the
dancing Jim Crow is set down for $40
900, and the copper tip for children's
shoes at $4,000 the spring window
roller pays 100000 a year. the needle
threader $4,000 a year; from the drive
we'll 100000 have been realized; the
Stylographic pen is credited with $780,,
600 Il year; and the egg-beater, the rub
Der stamp and the marking-pen for
shading different colors, with large
sums. These are only few examples
among hundreds that might be cited.
No wonder inventors are hopeful when
they reflect that comfort for life and
fortune for their children may come
from Il single fortunate idea.

but the clothes on his back, rugged
frame, lots of energy and determina-
ton to succeed. Cattlemen, as rule,
are profigate. The tall young Yankee
was provident. While other cattlemen
spent their money in gambling and riot
Gus living young Pierce attended strictly
to business. He rounded up his bunch
at the proper time, overlooked no NAV
ericks, kept his branding irons hot and
always took good cattle to market.
4 few years ago when an inventory
of Mr.. Pierce's property was made 1t
showed that he was worth in excess Of
S3,000,000 That was before the big
advance in cattle and before the land
was considered of any value except for
grazing. Now the appraisement OF the
same property would probably double the
figures.
But Shanghai Pierce had not become
a millionaire without many thrilling adj
ventures, and he declared that the max
ing of a fortune is simple and easy COM
pared with the task of keeping it. Many
a night he slept on the prairie only to
find that a rattlesnake had crept into
his blankets in the night to get warm.
Many a time he faced death at pistol
point, but he seems to have borne
charmed life, and although he had been
shot at frequently and desperate men
have followed him with the intention Of
numbering him, he escaped all the bullets
that were intended for him.

For years there has been standing in
the Pierce family cemetery, in Mata-
gorda County, Texas, a magnificent mon
ument erected by 4. II. Pierce to his
own memory. Pierce now sleeps in the
shadow of the stately memorial, having
died last week. His was a strange ca
reer.
Abel H. Pierce, better known in Texas
as Shanghai, was the richest of Texas
cattlemen. He was as we'll known in
banking circles in New York as on the
prairies of Texas, and the big moneyed
men Of Chicago, st. Louis and Kansas
City knew him almost as well as did the
people of the larger towns of Texas.
Nothing was too big for Shanghai to
take a hand in, from poker game to
a blind pool in Wall street, but the only
thing he prided himself on was his
knowledge of cattle. 1t was a chance
meeting with Shanghai that led Charles
II. Hoyt to write The Texas Steer"
They met on a railroad train, and HOyt
conceived the idea Of writing a play
around tie cattle king, says the New
York Press.
Pierce was born in Rhode Island sixty
six years ago and went to Texas when
a boy. On account of his extreme height
he was 6 feet HE got the soubriquet
of shanghai" and it chung to him so
well that few persons knew his Christian
name, and referred to him as 'Shang."
When he got to Texas he had nothing

Gently spoke of a man as pacing forth
and back" instead of pacing back and
forth" Though you may contend that
this is an unnecessarily small point, yet
it is a fact that most people when start
ing out to cover a short space a number
of times do not make their first turn
backward. To be sure, they may be
near door, or window, or a wall, or
on the edge of a hill, or a precipice,
when a step forward would either
bring them to a halt or result in an
accident. But as a rule. they take a
few steps. forward, and then, turning
retrace them. Hence, they go forth
and back. and forth and back. and so
on, until their emotion of exercising is
over. NoveIists with restless heroes
are especially requested to take notice
and see how they are located before
sending them either back or forth.

bolero fitting closely, showing a narrow
line of pretty belt that clasps the under
waist, is the usual choice. Now and then
the princess cut is followed handsomely.
Such was the case in the velvet gov
shown at the left in the next picture. Its
shade was hunters green, and emlbroid
cry in gold and white silk and edging
of sable were its trimmings.
Women who early in the winter used
furs in tiny ruffies and edgings are now
brought b. sharper weather to neck
pieces, muffs, and capes. The fur
gown usually seems freakish, but it is
attempted occasionally nevertheless. One
of the examples of this winter was white
cloth with a very deep Spanish flounce
of sable, deep fur cuffs, muff and deep
cape collar, the latter lightened with chif
fon and lace. a hat of fur with big pink
roses over the lace was an accompani-
ment. The artist puts here a biscuit
broadcloth with which went handsome
mink bolero. Possession of such gowns
implies ownership of a handsome fur
coat besides, though that doesn't follow
always. For that matter the stylish coat
of the moment is long boxed garment
freely trimmed with fur.
Since plaids of large size We're used in
furry weaves in separate skirts, they
haven't made much of an impression.
Now they are appearing in cameFs hair
weaves as the material for entire dresses.
Usually a little plain stuff is put with
them. Pictured here is one that showed
red, brown and gray, the plain portions
in the picture representing bands of red.
Undersleeves like those of these three
gowns are worn a great deal, and another
much favored sort is clasped close to the
hand by bands of black velvet, some
times jeweled, and either run through a

princess pOlonaise over trained skirt.
Often the polOnaise is fitted at the waist
by tiny graduated tucks that begin under
the bust line and continue over the hips.
Such a gown of delicate gray broadclOth
with tucked princess polonaise is worn
over a long skirt heavily draped with
gray chiffon. Yoke and sleeves of the
chiffon complete the dress, which is en-
broidered in silver. Variations of this
general plan are many and ingenious. To
days small picture shows one, an even,
ing gown of white silk null dotted in
pale blue. Its drapery was pale blue
panne velvet finished with cream lace,
and the ribbon bands were black velvet.
The average of elaborateness in evening
gowns is greater than ever.
When the polonaise is employed upon
a high-necked dress, it commonly is less
fanciful, and usually is Il polonaise out
right rather than an effect. The second
of the three standing figures in the next
illustration displays a typical example.
The darker portions were black velvet
and the lighter were lavender silk. silver
soutache finishing the latter and ecru
lace sprinkled with gold supplying bre-
telle. Despite the fact that gold in the
cheapest and gaudiest forms is used by
careless dressers. more artistic trimmings
are employed with increasing freedom
by welldressed women. A pretty fashion
is waistcoat. buttoning high and sleeve
less, made of white, black, scarlet or
green taffeta or broadcloth. This is run
with closely laid lines of narrow gold
ribbon. Such waistcoat is worn over
a fancy silk shirt waist, and under a
blouse jacket that closes so there is no
trace of the waistcoat till, at matinee
or picture show, the blouse is thrown
open. Such an arrangement leaves the
street effect perfectly plain, a very de-
sirable point according to current no.
tons. The objection is that the jacket
cannot be removed unless it is possible to

The Verdict.

The Green Bag tells the following
story. The most popular man in a
Western town once got into difficulty
with a disreputable tough who was the
terror of the place and did him up in 81
manner highly satisfactory to the en-
tire community. 1t was necessary,
however, to yindicate the majesty of
the law, and the offender was brought
up for trial on a charge of assault with
intent to kill. The jury took the case
and were out about two minutes, when
they returned.
Well" said the judge, in an offhand
manner, ''what have the jury to say?'
May it please the court" responded
the foreman, I'VE, the jury, find the
prisoner is not guilty of hittin' with in
tent to kill, but simply to paralyze, and
he done it."

plause and the prisoner was given an
