A collector present then told how he had
missed one great Opportunity still unfor-
gotten by him. though the thing happened
forty years ago. In company with Henri
R0chefort he was passing down the Rue du

shop windows. They had stopped before
the window of Trainer. Pointing to a

As Henri Rochefort was already at that

Private Tutors First.
Upon his arrival in England the crown
princes English education was first taken
In hand by private tutors. This prepara-
tory work finished. he entered and passed
through the Royal Military Academy at
Sandhurst His life there was In all re-
SpectS Just Ike that OF the run OF the reg
ular British cadets. and very popular in
deed he was with all OF his companions.
He proved himself a fine student and took
well to military life. His record at Sand
hurst shows that he led his class especially
in field Notifications. a strong mark OF con
structive and strategic genius. After leav-
ing Sandhurst he served with the Durham
Light Infantry at Aldershot as a subaltern.
and won the earnest regard OF his fellow
officers. The picture accompanying this
article shows him in that uniform. After
leaving the army he went through the His
tory School at oxford. subsequently read
ing law with a private coach. In between
his working periods he has Travelled a great
deal throughout Europe. His command OF
the French tongue is remarkably fluent.
while his knowledge Of English is SO good
that he has written in that language a
critical work on the war OF the Polish sue
cession. which was published at oxford
and has been highly commended. In other
fields of letters the prince has shown un-
usual literary gifts for a youth OF only

NO" replied the collector; 1.-The painting
Is not worth it" So he departed.
Now" he says, after forty years, "that
picture picked out with such far-sighted
judgment by Henri Rochefort and for
which | foolishly refused to give up 100
francs was simply delicious Corot, which
sold few months ago for $1,000 francs
(s16,OOol. People ask me how I lost my
hair. 1 lost it in the course of tearing it
out in despair over such lost opportunities.
In excuse of this collector and all others
who, like him, have refused to buy gems
by Theodore Rousseau for 80 francs or
masterpieces by Delacroix for II francs 1t
is sufficient TO ask why the same painting
is at one date worth but $50 and at an
other 1t brings $4,000?
1t may be answered that until the name
OF painter is established his clia9tele is
. not established. That is true, but his talent
exists.
Again. there are talents that at first do
not come out. This also is true. But when
the name of the artist is already celebrated
as in the case of the Cerot of Albert Wolff
how can the picture be worth one DAY
10000 and another day, say, $4,000?
The truth is that there are variations IN
the great painting market, as there are va
riations on the corn exchange. When
Corots are abundant their price falls when
they are rare they rise.
Upset the Masters.
These variations in the case of living ar
fists quite upset the masters. l could name
great celebrities of the present moment who
distress themselves to the point of hysterla
and neurasthenia over the price of their
works-the works of a few years ago that
have passed out of their hands and come
to be sold at sales. They go to the length
of attempting to ficttiously bull up the
prices. OF course, it is wearing on the
nerves for such a one, when he believes he
has attained a fixed and solid glory, to find
his price diminished by half.
Then there are the unhappy collectors,
who never know exactly the financial value
of their galleries. A thrilling example was
related by Ernest Blum, and none of those
who heard the story felt themselves COM
petent to suggest a remedy.
A friend of the art critic and writer had
married a charming young girl-and her
unique dot, or marriage portion, was ST.

father-in-law had told him:

The agent of the station was in a state Of
delightful delirium from the effects of a
large dose of cocaine which he had taken
at dentists Office before going on duty
The agent had had all his upper teeth
drawn by the dentist, hence the cocaine.
His cocaine jag took the form of an ex-
IRENE liberality with the money of the Il
company. There was no ticket chopper on
hand to check him, registering turnstile

eral all to himself. He not only insisted
upon giving each person applying for a
ticket handful of tickets for nothing, but
he demanded that each prospective pas
senger accept a NICE crisp bill of some de-
nomination or other from him a token of
his consideration and esteem. Five-dollar
bills out of the cash wrawer were his ia
vcrite donations. Ii didn't take long for
good news such as this to reach the individ-
uals lurking in the neighborhood who felt
that they needed the money, and they re-
paired to that L platform in punches and
fought for place in the line. The agent.
rocking on his chair in an ecstacy of joy.
handed over the companys money until the
till was exhausted, and he distributed the
company's tickets with fine prodigality.
Wnen TICKETS ana money were all gone ne
insisted that the next man in line should
accept, as little souvenir, his god watch
and chain. The CRATER at the window was

proceedings, came along and stopped the
