wit. says the Philadelphia Press. An

'sAfr. Whistler, there are only two great

impressionist once invited him to look
at some Of his work. OF one partcu-

remarked.

The story Of the peacock room" is
famous
Fretted by man whose room he was
decorating, he finished the decoration
By painting two peacocks, one with a
long lock over its brow to represent
himself pecking at the other peacock.
While Whistler was at West Point
there was, IN addition to regular cadet
mess, a private mess for twelve, OF
whom Whistler was one, at the house
Of an army officers widow, says Chap
Book. One day the cadets conceived
the idea Of having a little sport at the
landladys expense. The first cadet who
came to the table said as he sat down;
Good morning. Mrs. . There is
cat on the roof Of your house" The
second cadet repeated the remark, ex-
cept that he varied it BY saying, There
are two cats on the roof Of your
house Each cadet added cat, until,
when whistler, who was the last to ar
rive, sat down. he said gravely and
with much concern: @Good morning,
Mrs. . There are twelve cats on the
roof of your house"
During the next meal Whistler found
under his napkin a billet notifying him
that his presence at the mess was no
longer required. Being, however, averse
to returning to the general mess, Wits
tier hit upon a plan to regain the wild
owls good will After dinner he plant
ed himself in front Of portrait Of her
late lamented which hung In the par
Tor and appeared lost In admiration OF
1t. When he heard the widow entering
he began descanting, as If to himself,
yet loud enough for her to hear, upon
the virtues Of the deceased, winding
up with this exclamation.
Ito think that West Point should
produce such a man and that we have
his portrait here to remind us of what
we ourselves may attain tor This
touched the widow So deeply that
Whistler was re-established in her
good graces- and the mess.

guest at a dinner given by John sar-

he dined royalty and was very merry,
says the Hartford Courant. After din
ner he asked Sargent If he might be
excused while he wrote an important
note that had slipped his mind.

were startled by hearing a series of
bumps. ending in a heavy thud at the
foot Of the stairs. Whistler had trip

up and anxiously asked if he was hurt.
