Mccutcheon's Famous Cartoons

The art of newspaper illustration in its
present form is development of recent
years. Newspaper cartoons have be-
come a most popular feature of up-to-
date metropolitan newspapers. The
unique and catchy" drawings by John
I. McCutcheon now appearing daily on
the front page of The Chicago Record
Herald is one of the many special fea-
lures of that great paper. McCucheon's
prominence in the newspaper world
makes newspaper readers generally
familiar with his history. He came to
Chicago in 1889, when he Immediately
became identified with the Chicago
Record. His work in connection with
that paper soon attracted public notice.
His illustration of the Worlds Fair
scenes were of a particularly high class.
1t was late, however, associated with
George AIDE, illustrating AIDES we'll
known sketches, "Stories of the Streets
and of the Town." "Artie," etc., and
during the presidential campaign Of
1896, when his political cartoons attract
ed such widespread attention, that Nc
Cutcheon was generally acknowledged a
leader in his profession. During the
Spanish-American war he was with ADJ
miral Dewey at the time of the destruc-
ton of the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay,
and was the first one to give the world a
complete account of that great fight.
During his subsequent stay in the Phil
ipipnes he blossomed out as CORE
spondent of no mean ability, and he
came into view as writer of merit,
with the faculty of keen observation
and faithful descriptions that have
made the work Of his pen of double
value. His two years stay in tropi.
cal climate shattered his health, and
after his return to the United States he
was forced to take long rest. How.
ever, he has fully recovered, and readers
| of the The REcoRD-HERAL will be glad
| to learn that he has resumed work and
his cartoons now appear in both its
daily and Sunday editions,

Keep clean Streets.

Prot. Hamlin writes in one of the

says that we are the most untidy among
the great nations of the world and that
in this respect we rank with Turkey
rather than with England and Ger.

Hamlin is correct if country towns are

one will look around his own neighbor-

of the general slovenliness of the Ameri-

who take no pains whatever to make
the surroundings look inviting. If they
have fences they are usually unsightly

The Telephone.

Neighborhood not far from here
Put in telephones last year;
Farmers built rural line,
Instruments all "talked up fine,
All you had to do was ring
Every bell went ting-a. ling;
One for Swanson, tn'o for Boggs,
Long and a sheft for old man scroggs
Every neighbor had his call,
Twist TIE crank and that was all.
Mighty nice, when WORK was through
10 gossip for an hour or two
With your neighbors, one by one.
Mighty nice, but lots more fun
To overhear some other two
Telling what was not for you.
Every time the signal rang
To the phone each farmer sprang.
Shyly grinned and softly took
The receiver from the hook;
Other peoples secrets dear
Poured into his large red ear.
Slapped his leg and said: 81 swum!
Telephonin's lots of fun"
Somehow in a week or two
Troubles dark began to brew.
Farmer Jones got fighting hot,
Heard Scroggs calling him sot.
Farmer Scroggs seemed angry too
Heard Smith telling what he knew,
Smith heard johnson telling lies,
Paid him off with two black eyes.
johnson heard young Ezra Boggs
Underbid him on his hogs.
Boggs o'erheard sneaking churl
Making love to his best girl.
Women, too, were in the muss,
Raised a most tremendous fuss;
Everyone from Scroggs to Jones
In glass houses throwing stones.
Nov the line has silent grown,
Wires twisted, poles o'erthrown.
Twenty friends are deadly foes,
Each one full of griets and woes.
Each too mad to speak word
Cause of things they've overheard.
