surprise now that he is 38 years old
and rich? Is 1t because most people
cannot quite see themselves giving up
an income Of $4,000 a year? I'm afraid
so.
There's nothing more in pen work
for Gibson, but money, and he doesn't
need that. His range is narrow; there
are a few subjects that his admirers
expect him to draw over and over
again, Just as J. G.. Brown is expected
to paint bootblacks. Brown gets tired
Of bootblacks; perhaps Gibson gets
tired Of drawing unintelligent looking

ton that would give $1,000 for every

change suddenly. 1t does in the case
of popular novelists. Gibson stops at
the top of the wave.
There is nothing new in the fact that
illustrators make money. A newspa.
per artist Of the highest quality may
earn $4,000 a year; not a cartoonist--
the leaders in that speciality do much
better; but the man who draws really
striking illustrations with a sure, firm
touch for the Sunday ''yellows."
Some Of these men save money, just
as Gibson has done, with a similar
idea. There are many magazine ar
lists who do no better, though widely
known. From $4,000 a year up to $780,

DUE TO PTOMAINE POISONING
Timely Assistance Saves nm Entire
Family Stricken After Eating
Cottage Cheese.

st. Louis, Nov 21.--Six members Of
the family Of John Gernhardt, a metal
patternworker, are slowly recovering
from the effects Of ptomaine poisoning,
which nearly caused the death of every
member of the household Sunday.
The timely arrival OF a physician
probably prevented six tragic deaths
in family which had succumbed one
by one from the effects Of the deadly
poison, contracted by eating cottage
cheese and coffee cake.

and redrew part of the de.
sign. The old maxim is never to throw
away a drawing. Gibson Obeys It.
The pen strokes are literally huge, each
several inches long, and of great
width at times. Examine one with a
microscope II you get a chance. The
line is clean and sharp. 1t was swift,
ly done. No man could draw a single
one of those strokes without long prac-
tice, and without the steady nerves that
come with sane living.
With a rather well-known illustra-
tor, a man of real genius, came one
day to so simple an obstacle as a
flight Of stairs. started to go up
two steps at a time and at a run. My
companion, some years younger and
q perfect man physically, laid his hand
on my arm reproviDgly: Not that
way" he saiG. "One step at a time
and slowly" The hand stroke must
be steady, unhurried. In a wash
drawing a man may mess up a picture
into some kind of shape with shaky
hands, IL he knows the game That is
one reason why artists like the pen
just as they used TO like to draw on
wood direct for the engraver.
The successful pen artist is a good
specimen physically. Gibson could
pose for one Of his own tall young
men, only he'd need a wig. Fred Rem

idea don't answer these days ANY
more than It does with the newspaper

ming expenses he must put aside
the proceeds of $50 two-dollar seats for
every evening and matinee perform
ance in an eight months season for
that.
Where does the money come in?
Because the people Of New York are
amusement crazy. The two-dollar seat,
even the $3.50 or three-dollar seat, for
a special attraction does not scare
them. A box at $25 is a compliment
that men Of moderate means but large
income feel to be due to their posi-
tion,' which position may be, to tell
the truth, precarious. The theater that
costs so much is a big one. After de-
Quoting the $50 good seats for the fixed
charges there are still plenty left which
sell at high prices. The ten, twent'
thirt'" houses-houses where good
seats are all sold at prices Of so cents
or less-entertain enormous numbers
On the other hand, some Of the most
successful theatrical runs have been
held in tiny houses. Candida" ran to
good money two years ago in a house
that holds less than 500 persons. Fixed
charges were small for merely a part
Of a big Office and studio building.
Ben Greet's successful stage perform
ances have been held in an open hall.
Take the opera as an illustration OF
the passion for amusement. Herr Con
rid says that New York will soon have
a five-months' season of continuous
opera, with performances every even
