The Artist Who Draws the Pictures on tho
Comic Valentines and the Harvard Grad
uate Who Writes the Poetry-Millions
of Penny viIifers.
Two mon are responsible for tho entire
crop of comic valentines which spread bit
terncss and VOC throughout our fair land
once q year ut just about this timo. One
Of them is a Harvard graduate. Ho pcrpo-
tratcs the verse. Tho other is an artist
who learned to WELD his brush with O far
nobler aim In view.
1t is we'll that there arc two Of them,
for they divide the awful Responsibility.
The poets name is Edward Rigney. The
artist is ono Edgars. They both live in
Brooklyn. A New York man might think
that was punishment enough for thom.
Let us hope that the recording angel will
think so, too, for they have q lot to answer
for.
Let US just do a little figuring on the
subject. There arc 90 600, 900 "comics"
printed and circulated every year. Sup
pose only 10, 900, 900 Of these are purchased
and sent. If only two-thirds of the victims
relieved their lacerated feelings by the use
of profanity-we will say that the other
5, 900, 900 arc women and protesting Chris
tians-that would leave 10, 900, 900 who
would fracture the second commandment.
Each man would, we will say, use on an
average of five bad words, some beginning
with q big d and others best represented
by dashes, thus -- -. That would
give O total of so, 600, 900 profane words.
Now these two mon have been at this
business for about Is years, and If the
wrath Of the people or the hand of Provi-
dence docs not strike them down they may
continue in their evil doing for 10 years
more, a total of 25 years. Thus in 25 years
they will have been the indirect producers
of 1850, 900, 900 p~rofane words, or enough
to make 10, 600 good sized volumes.
What an awful responsibility to contem-
plate!
But these men don't look at it in that
q They seem to think that the enjoy
mont Of good salaries in this life is of far
more Importance than a bright hereafter.
Both of them perhaps hope that their
work on sentimental lines will offset the
other. Mr.. Edgars not only draws the hid

THE sCoRCIIER-BoUND TO BE POPULAR.
o u faces of the "comics," but he is an
adept in painting pink Cupids, red hearts
always arrow pierced-and dainty forget
menots, lilies Of the valley and other TO-
| raj decorations.
Artist Edgars is O man Of about 80, but
for II years he has boon doing this sort of
work. Consequently he has attained won
derful dexterity with the brush. He can
take q plain piece Of cardboard or cellu-
loid, and with a few dabs of his brush
mako it blossom like q fairy garden. He
takes q dainty satin covered card, spreads
the colors around on it recklessly for a
minute, and, behold! he has produced
something to delight the heart Of some
pretty maiden.
In some respects Mr.. Edgars is to be en-
We'd. He has moro facilities for "getting
even'' than any other man on earth. When
the average man is insulted by an inso-
lent street car conductor, snubbed by a
SAVOY dry goods clerk or imposed upon by
a butcher, baker or candlestlck maker, he
can only address q little lceting, eyanes-
cent profanity at the individual offender.
Not so Mr.. Edgars. He just keeps quiet,
smiles in q bland, self satisfied way, goes
to his den and draws a picture OF the man
or woman and has a few hundred thou
sand Of them struck off. Thus does be
wreak his vengeance not on one person
alone, but on all of that kidney. If he Is
angry, he Can, by q few strokes OF his
brush, insult about 500, 900 total stran-
gers. What car or sultan could do more'
And Mr.. Rigney helps him out. He
takes tho nightmare sketches and writes
verses for ~them-verses which tip the nr-
row with gall and wormwood, which
make the victim rant and tear and say
things.
But there Is o compromising side to all
this. There are 70, 900, 900 souls of US in
Uncle Sans domain, and we probably all
know at least half a dozen persons on
whom we would like to infict a comic.

In shockingly bad state nine-tenths OF
the time in those days, impossible at times
even for carriages, and it was usually
simple alternative of journeying about on
foot or on horseback. Cabinet officers rode
to their respective departments and even
to cabinet meetings: senators and repre-
sentatiyes rode to the sessions of the ma
tionat legislature up on the hill; diplo-
mats transacted business from the saddle,
and now, according to the old fellows, the
revival promises to bring back the old days
all over again.

the remarkable revival of the sport in

President, and it is seldom, save in the
busiest days OF a busy session, that the
Chief Executive lets a fine afternoon so
by without at least brief and brisk ride
on one of his several splendid saddle
horses. Sometimes the President rides
alone, save for his mounted military guard
in the rear, but oftentimes he Is accom-
panied by one or more of his friends or
official associates. Particularly is this true

Many of the Presidents friends and off,

War Department and retired to private life
AMI Mr.. Root left behind him rather odd
reputation as horseman. He rode often
and he rode well. but when in the saddle
he was anything but a cheerful or O talka-

time without saying word. "The Silent
Horseman' his friends called him. and 1t
