Painting by Rule.

Pa1ntInE by Rule.
IN his article boston. in Harper's
for October Charles H. White tells of d
Portuguese painter whom he met on
the wharves and of his curious and pa
thetic story:
There was Portuguese says Mr.
White, and as fine a man as ever used
up good color, who, when he saw me
from the shack above to minister to my
comfort; and leaving his card with d
request that I join him after hours il
opening bottle of Portuguese port.
made for his dilapidated staircase.
1t was in this obscure corner that
found him later, swinging in his ham
mock, and listened while he drifted, be-
tween his cigarettes and port, iAto tht
current OF narration. His was an old
story, kindled to life again by the in
tense and charming personality of the
man who told it. Seven years previous
to our meeting he had taken this room
as a studio. and had been moored here
ever since. intending to paint each mood
each hour, OF what lay just within his
reach.
=" This is one of the early things
wanted to do he explained at this point.
wiping the dust off a delightful study of
the market at sunrise, and placing it on
his easel. But / soon found that, first
of all, man must live, and I turned
from that to this. He had replaced the
sunrise by monstrCslty III wal er-cOlOT
Of a schooner under a full head of sail.
All of the lines are actually done with
a ruler, and while the price is small it
sells readily and keeps me going. He
seemed to get a morbid and grim sort
of pleasure in dwelling on the artistic
depths to which he had sunk, but posi-
bly, the sense of his humiliation thus
brought home to him is what prompted
him to take a solemn oath, as we part
ed, to do no more.
Weeks passed without me getting a
glimpse of him; and again by chance I
met my artist friend-not as I had
known him, rubbed shiny at the elbows
with frayed cuff and collar-but my
Portuguese lifted upon some prodigious
wave of prosperity, respondent in cost
ly raiment.
" Sold three pictures he explained,
when we were each seated behind a tall
glass with ice and things floating in 1t.
Negative sort of triumph, however, he
added, hastily, as If to put a damper on
my enthusiasm. You see, it all came at
once-three shippers, you know, who
ter colors of mine in cigar store along
had to have one just like it-understand
and ready money; so, you see, L
Ruled them, eh?' I wanted to help
him over the difficulty.
- Everything except the water he
answered firmly. with an inward
chuckle; and then suddenly becoming
serious again, he whispered fervently;
Now that / have a little start I'm go
ing to turn over new leaf
Il have often wondered since whether

HARMFJL SCHOOL SOCIETIES.
The board of education at Seattle.
Wash, objected to secret societies in
the city schools and made certain rules
intended to break them up. A foolish
parent resented the ruling and went
to the supreme court of the state for
relief The supreme court upheld the
school boards rules and refused the
relief asked for. "The evidence" it
said, overwhelmingly establishes the
fact that such fraternities have a
marked influence on the school, tend
ing to destroy good order, discipline
and scholarship. This being true, the
board is authorized and it is its duty
to take such reasonable and appro-
pirate action by the adoption of rules
will result in preventing these influ-
ences. '-Atchison Globe.
