A great New York church has ;.,oa.
ern pawnshop connected with its par
ISL house. Last year the loans reach
ed the large sum of eighty thousand
dollars. The rate Of interest charged
is one per cent n month-a small fr.,
ton Of that charged by the prof,

and honest who are helped by the
scheme is proved by the fact that of
the two hundred thousand dollars lent
during the last three years, less than
seven hundred dollars has been lost.
OF course strict business principles are

method, and the loan may be followed
by that personal friendship and SER

EVOLUTION AND INFLUENCE OF THE CARTOON.
BY caroonist (written Aprl ~ 1902

There is no telling when the art of
caricature began. There are a number
of grotesques that have come down to
US from earliest Egyptian times. The
Greeks employed pictures to emphasize
their satire, and so did the Romans.
All through the Middle Ages there We're
numberless examples of ''grotesqueries,'
which. curiously enough, were used in
enforcing the doctrines of the Church
by means of satirizing the devil. But
the eighteenth century was the heyday
of the cartoon. Beginning in France,
