Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1903-04-29

Quintillian says the perfection OF
Irt is to conceal art Then the young
miss whose mother, asked to admire
first effort, admitted the production
was a rose or a cow she would be
blest If she knew which, had almost
reached the art pinnacle, as It were.
You have heard of the man who don't
know any more about art than pig
does about skating. He exists in every
village and is usually found in the
front row at an art exhibit, talking
glibly of Michael Angelo, Raphael and
Dennis O'Toole's masterpieces, stand
ing first on one leg and then on the
other (the man, not the masterpiece),
and looking as wise as an educated
billy goat fun of paint brushes, paint
cans and canvas. This individual is
usually the town whitewasher or a
sign-painter who paints over a tin
alphabet with yellow ochre and plenty
of oil to make it spread easily. He
believes in the natural rather than the
required art. His theory is that an
artist should be born, not made; the
same as a poet He daubs and daubs
and has more canvas covered with
landscape than there were rods in the
fence Tom Sawyer and his chums
painted for Aunt Polly. The local pa
per tells him he has future before
him as big as a dray load of empty
plano boxes, and he believes 1t. He
continues to paint from Nature, and
with natural talent until some sad
day he awakens to the fact that he is
only an understudy to Whistler and a
third-rate Phidias at best. He has
learned the sad lesson that only care
full, painstaklng preparation, right
methods and liberal foundation adj
mits one to the real realm of art as a
painter. Even then, in the words OF
Pericles:
I'm framing an artist, art hath thus de-
creed,
To make some good but others to ex-
coed"

A young woman who gave up
neither candy nor theaters during
Lent, had no real love for the young
man who was earnestly striving to
save enough money to buy spring
overcoat. It is easy to tell when a
young woman is really spoons on a
young man. When she first meets
him she helps him spend his money
ut a mad gallop. She is no more con-
Iiderate of his bank account than.
an iconoclast who sets out with a
sledge hammer to batter down a few
old marble monuments. She accepts
his presents with intrepid valor,
praises his livery horses and the
steerer of his devil wagon with vol
luminous hattery, partakes of his
after-theater refreshments with wild
abandon, and meets every opportun-
ity to spend more OF his substance
with glad and generous welcome
But when she begins to feel strick-
en- she goes slower Finally, when
she is really in a state to capitulate,
she crawnshes like lobster and
asks him to cut 1t all out except a

my boy, you have her, and IL you
don't claim your own the Investment
you have been making is a dead loss
and no prospect Of even two per
cent reorganization. From the time
she is yours she will begin to save
your money like miser who is work

you are married, and at times you
will be compelled to go to her, con.

A band Of nomadic Indians were en-

dirty buck who had a wonderful bit
of mechanism about his person, the
sight of which he was willing to hawk
for a new slungshot we had recently
purchased. For this weapon he agreed
to exhibit a cute ivory case inclosed in
a covering of leather. In the center
Of the wonderful box glowed a living
flame, and behind it red strawberry
grew. He was intensely passionate in
speaking of his curioslties and in less
than five minutes a bargain was
struck BY permission our chum was
allowed TO enjoy the sight of the treas

"Injuns red flame, much redl"

SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1908.

Last week a special grand jury was
organized in Greenville, Tex, to in
vestigate the case of Edward Viii
liams, accused of "attempted assault
and burglary" Two indictments were
easily found, special juries were i'm.
paneled, and Williams was tried in
both cases and received 80 years in
each case or 1873 years in both. 1t
took the juries only twenty minutes
to reach verdict in each case. Twas
a damnable outrage, of course, but is
an improvement on the usual method
of lynching.

ROMANCE OF THE COMMONPLACE.
The Romance Of the Commonplace. BY
Gelett Burgess. $3.50. San Francisco.
Paul Elder and Morgan Shepard.
This is a. volume Of modern philosophy,
which ranks in that class of essays made
famous by Jerome K. Jerome. Mr.. Bur-
CESS says many clever things in his book,
and one may glance at any chapter and
discover many commonplace things writ
ten in a very uncommon manner. THE
desire to tell secrets writes the author,
IS one of the most contagious of diseases,
and few of us are immune. Some vigor-
Gus moral: constitutions never succumb,
but once an epidemic begins it is hard
work stopping it, and secret on the ram
page is well nigh irresistible. Tell your
secret, then, broadcast and let it have it's
way until it dies out. But above all never
cOnfide it to her who asserts she never has
the slightest desire to tell, for there, like
a seed sown in fertile ground it will ger
inmate and flower long after you have for
gotten it, aye, and bring forth fruit you
never planted"
Again: ''Flattery is, however, an edged
tool, and must be used with care. It is
not everyone who has the tact to decide at
glance just how much his victim will
stand.'
The author treats of art science and
literature with such a delicate, ironical
criticism, and withal, with so much of
masterful art as to render this book of
unusual interest
