Ono Of the Ingenious Tricks of the
Picture Dealer.
The tricks of the picture dealer?

The tricks of the picture dealer?
They are not to be counted. Here is
one that was played quite recently A
dealer ordered from an artist tavern
scene in the old Dutch style signed in
the corner with a facsimile Of Jan
Stems signature. When the smoky
look of age had been given 1t the deal
err eyed it with approval.
"Splendidr' he said to the needy art
ist. Its a pity you shouldn't have
the credit of it, Pray sign it with your
own name. 1t may make your reputa-
ton"
The poor artist, delighted painted
over the signature of Jan Steen and set
his own name there. Three weeks
later the picture started for New York,
consigned to a Fifth avenue merchant
of paintings. But by the same boat
went an anonymous letter to the Gus
tom house officials warning them that
an attempt was being made to SNUG
gle in a chef d'oeuvre of the Dutch
school worth $4,000. The picture was
seized. Experts were called in. They
scraped off the signature of the artist
and found underneath that Of Jan
Steen. The importer had to pay fine
Of 80 per cent-that is, $20,000-and in
addition $4,000 duty. Three days later,
however, he sold his Jan Steen (guar-
anteed by the United States govern
menb for the round sum of $4,000.
Thus he made fair profit, for the orig
inal cost Of the picture was $14-7O
francs paid to the poor devil of an
artist.-Broadway Magazine.
