THE BARKER: HIS BARK.

1t unto Of the least of these, We have
done 1t unto me.
THE BARKER: HIS BARK.
(Des Moines News.)
Going down the Pike at st. Louis.
you see the barker in front Of one of
the shows: you can't help hearing him
and this is how he barks:
Nov, ladies and gentlemen, these
young ladies' who have kindly obliged
us with their beautiful ballads have
nothing whatever to do with the Won
derful and beautiful educational art
exhibit now commencing on the inside.
Our ladies inside do not sing or even
talk, yet they hold the spectator spell
boundI could not exhibit them out
side to you, for fear of their contract
ing pneumonia. Understand me, ladies'
and gentlemen, this is no cooche-coo-
chez performance, but an exhibit of
living art models fresh from the
studios Of Paris. ] need not tell you
that they wear neither rubber boots
nor sealskins sacks.
Some narrow minded people say
that our show is immodest. / repel the
w
YOU suppose i would be up here repre-
senting it? No! No would be down
there rubbering with the rest of YOU
1--WE are not here to open oysters
with prayer, ladies and gentlemen. and
you didn't come to the Pike to attend
a class meeting. The w. c. T. Y. is
over yonder. The Y M. c. A. is down
there. But there isn't a church on the
pike. and the best show on it is now
commencing. Walk in, ladies and gem
tlemen, walk in"
Admire the barkers bark but be-
ware of his bite. Pass from the Pike
to the art gallery and behold the beau
ties of the innermost soul of man done
into marble and caught on canvas.
And not barker in all the place.
Go down to view the main picture
where the cascades CLEAN and sparkle
and melt into the silver lagoons below
the terrace of states and the walls of
the dreamland palaces which surround
YOU are trimmed with the myriad stars
of heayen--and were is the barker?
Where. Why is up on the Pike
where yokels most do congregate and
he's getting their money for the mere
hope of seeing something, While down
here is beauty regnant-and deserted!
Maybe there's moral to all this
what is it?

Fashion Mod els.

Fashion models who pose for pho
tographer are not to be confused for a
moment with those other models who
pose for artists. The camera and the
brush are far different mediums. One
can hide or forget blemishes, but the
other tells the truth, the whole truth
and nothing but the truth, says the
Baltimore Herald. An artist can add a
few inches to a models height or

ward woman into beauty:

A Poor Press Agent.

Max O'Rell was exceedingly popular
as a lecturer, and the way in which his
mother viewed the suggestion that her
son should take to the platform Is
worth repetition. She wrote to him
from the native village which she had
never left for more than day to say
that she did not think appearing before
audiences to be reputable business and
when he replied that he had decided to
do it and had signed a contract to that
effect the dear old lady wrote back
that she was still his loving mother
and that she would tell no one in the
village about it.

THE THREE CORNERED SCRAP
STILL ON

After having been announced IN
the Scott organs every other day
for several weeks past as out OF the
Senatorial race, says the Register,
Col Caldwell now breaks his silence
long enough to announce In his
own behalf that he Is not out OF the
race and never has been; while Col,
Henry Schulbach, on whom the
foxy Scott journalists have been
working the saue game, takes
time to deny similar untruths In
connection with his brief vacation
trip to the west, which he says
will In no way interfere with his
Senatorial candidacy.
Thus 1t will be observed that the
frantic efforts of Mr.. SCOTS lieu
tenant to shelve the Hon. JET ms
Caldwell In the Governship and to
sidetrack Col. Schmulbach on a
Pacific special have proven labor
wasted.
The effort to harmorize Mr..
Caldwell off the waysimply revealed
the utter lack of anything like
harmony among the Republican
leaders, not one of whom would
get out of the way, each one dis.
trusting the others and taking a
double grip on every vantage point
Likewise the effort to shoulder
Col. Schmulbach ont Of the way In
Ohio County simply revealed the
strength Of his following here. Al
though by sharp practice the con-
troll of the County Committee was
wrested from him, there Is no ques'
ton but that Col. Schmulbach Is
supreme In the Republican party
In Wheeling, which Is practically
Ohio County, while his representa-
ton on the County Committee Is
quite strong enough to prevent his
opponents taking any undue ad'
vantages OF him. His lieuteuants
are some Of the strongest and
smoothest politicians In the Repub'
lican party, who are devoted to his
interests, while the sources of his
political strength are far more nu-
merou and varied and his 6nan'
aia. strength greater than Senator
SCOTS
Despite the loud and windy
claims of his organists, Our Nathan
Is plainly no nearer being out OF the
political woods than ever.

Walt whitman as . journalist.

Walt whitman aD q J0urnahst.
Walt Whitman was not much OF q
journalist. He had toe much repose
His employers called it laziness. He
was concerned with permanences. The
nearer to nature, the more repose.
Trees and hills do not dance except
for urging. Whitman, elemental, strong,
placid, bovine, did not urge them.
In the Brooklyn Eagle office Whit
man is a clearer memory than In the
office of its contemporary. Yet 1t Is
oddly hard to secure facts. There Is a
general and joking reference to his
serenity as idleness. He was not a
typical newspaper man, for he was not
to be pressed or hurried, and In our
day of precision and speed he would
have been impossible. He never felt
that stress from which the veriest bo-
hemian suffers. He did not want mon
ey enough to work hard for 1t. One OF
the coterie of writer's and actors which
used to squander its much wit and lit
tie wealth at Pfaff's tells me that OF
the whole party Whitman was the only
one who was never tipsy and never
"broke." He always had market
somewhere for fugitive writings. Ed
tors were friendly to him. He drank
his beer with the rest. but its effect
was to make him thoughtful, even sad,
while the others were merry. Accord
Ing to that narrator, he was an easy
borrower, though it does not appear
that he asked for large amounts or
made needless delays in his repay
ments.-Charles NJ. Skinner in Allan
