dealers were diligently knocking the
work of artists who had exhibited with
them, and thereafter withdrew their
pictures, because they refused to be

tails: The guileless artist sends his

and 10 told it is $50. The buyer likes
the picture and pays the price; the

are a few conscientious doctors--an

babyhood by fondness for the noise and
pyrotechncs of a thunderstorm. On one

years old, had been tucked under the

of rain was accompanied by the roar of
celestial artillery and the incessant play
of lightning on the night-darkened land

the mother of the little one excused her
self from the company, merry in the
story telling aftermath of the dinner, TO
go and see if her baby was sleeping
while the storm was raging. Clad only

Would show it came from me.

Would do myself and wife:

Would keep us both for life

To spend still 10 per cents
To help my fellow man;
And after that my dreams would get

Would touch the earth again.

I'D waited time enough to do
