ART IN THE MAGAZINES.
A Protest Against the Things We Are
Asked to Admire.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
Between the illustrations which adorned
the pages of the monthly magazines a
quarter of a century ago and the contri-
buttons of art which now occupy so much
space in these publications there Is. we
admit wide chasm. No one wants TO
return TO the examples of crude wood en-
craving which then did duty as an annex
to the letter press; ana yet we are not
disposed to welcome, without gentle pro-
test, the deuge of pictures which new
era has brought to US.
In this day of cheap reproduction-when
photographs are copied quickly and easily
upon metal and thus made available for
the press; when the product of the artist r
pen and pencil receives the same economi-
cal treatment; and when the resources OF
ljthography have solved all the problems
of transferring color to the printed page,
1T is not surprising that We are treated TO
a perfect riot Of illustration. Ii Is not this.
however, that arouses our artistic Ire and
chills the marrow of our bones. We object,
and seriously, to the character of the
illustrations which deliberately and
solemnly placed before US, and, apparently,
for our entertainment and delight. We are
asked 10 bow down before a blurred and
misty page with a female figure of in
distinct shape dimly visible through the
fog: we are RECALLED with lurid creations
of the greenest of green grass and trees.
the reddest of red costumes, and the blueSt
of blue skies. and are expected TO praise II
as a symphony in color; we are confronted
with a few unmeaning, unintellie,be
strokes of a pen heavily laden with ink.
and are then supposed to worship the
handiwork of a master. Amid all this So
called artistic effort. the simple and ac-
curate reproduction of a photograph APP
pears a thing of beauty and grace.
From some OF the illustrations which
are inflicted upon US in the modern monthly
magazines we turn with relief to the varied
and interesting advertisements. Their pic
lures are sane, appealing, and satisfying.
The man in the union underwear, the WON
an in the straight-front corset, or the
motor car gayly climbing a Hill are al
least true TO life and TO nature. The artists
who work for the other part OF the maya
zines have wandered away from both. and
are working in a realm which Is 20 the
great majority of Us an unknown world.

SHAVED HIS WHISPERS.
When Aged GentIeman's Wife Re-
turned Pathetic scene Ensued.

There is a well-known old gentleman In

the length Of the hirsute adornment on his
chin. His wife is a motherly old body
who hadn't seen her hubby without those
patriarchal Whiskers for more than thirty
years, till one sad day last week that Will
long be remembered In that particular
household and by the remainder OF the
party that were spending few weeks AZ
the ST Clair flats.
The old gentleman rather prided himself
on his good looks. He is a great admirer
of a pretty face. There were a number OF
ladies in the party who began TO rally the
old man about his looks. He would be so
much better looking. they said. IL only he
would shave on those old whiskers-
One day last week his wife went up the
river with a friend. The old man disap-
peared for a long time. When he finally re-
appeared he was a sight for the gods. His
whiskers in which he had taken so much
pride were in the waste basket, and his
chin was as smooth as a baby's. IL took
about fifteen seconds for everybody In the
house TO get next. then such shouts OF
laughter arose as never before had been
heard In that cottage.
The pathetic part OF the incident hap
pened when his wife came back The Old
rran had forgotten all about his whiskerless
face. His wife gave one gasp OF astonish-
ment and sank TO the ground overcome.
When she came TO she soboed as IL her
heart were broken, and the old man fol-
lowed suit. Locked In each others arms
the couple sat on a table. and members OF
the family say that for at least one hour

BARNUh & BAILEY
MOVE TO BAL INORE
Strike of LaborerS Fails to Halt
the Circus.

About $50 canvasmen and laborers
connected with the Barnum & Bailey
circus went on strike last night. 1t
caused some delay in getting the circus
on the train for Baltimore One hun
dred extra men were employed, and as
there were enough of the regulars left
to direct operations, not as much trou-
bic occurred as was anticipated. The
men say that all the remaining regulars
Will strike today in Baltimore If they
are not granted an increase of SIS a
month.
Despite the delay, the work of sending
the circus out of town was performed
with swiftness which caused those not
accustomed to the sight to open their
eyes. No sooner had the supper been
finished when the cook tent came down
with rush, and then the other tents
followed fast
The press tent and Mr.. Baileys pri-
vate tent were struck before the evening
performance began. When the last of
the audience had passed into the big
tent the work of taking down the men
agerie tent started, and before the per-
Torrance was half over the animals
had been moved out, the tent had been
taken down, and the entire approach to
the show had changed its appearance,
so that those coming out were somewhat
confused by the novel appearance of the
grounds.
No sooner had the audience vacated
section of seats than a a gang of men
began the work of taking them down
and piling them into wagons which were
driven in from the side opposite the
main entrance. Each seat is numbered
and they are put in the wagons in regu-
lar rotation. SO that when another town
is reached the wagons are unloaded in
the same order in which they were load
ed at the last place and the work of
putting up the seats goes on with ma
chinelike regularity.
AS each trapeze and aerial act is
completed during the show its parapher-

without disturbing the succeeding per-
formers, SO that when the chariot races,

The lights are taken down gradually,
being removed from each section of the
tent as fast as the seats are packed.
Then the tent poles on the sides are
removed one by one until only the CEN
ter ones remain. These center poles
are gradually lowered. which is no easy
task, as they are sixty feet long and
thirteen inches in diameter, the canvas
is folded and the circus has DISAPPEARED.
