TRICKY ART DEALERS.
Astute Partisan Scheme For Booming
"New Master"

For the booming of a new artist an
astute dealer is necessary He catches
his artist as young as possible, prefer
ably as an exhibitor of crazy canvases
at the autumn salon of the independ-
ents' exhibition, and commissions him
to paint 100 pictures a year.
One by one, occasionally in twos and
threes. at judicious intervals the deal
er sends the pictures to the Hotel
Drouot for sale by. public auction.
There he has confederateS, who raise
the price at each sale, and he buys
them in himself
After a few months the young ar
lists canvases have a certain market
value, and the next step is taken to
turn their painter into a modern mas
ter. The critics are attacked. One Of
them is asked to look at some daub,
and when he cries out with horror the
dealer says:
home with you as favor to me, live
with it six months and them
In due course an art amateur calls
upon the critic and cannot contain his
admiration for the new artists pic
ture.
what a masterpiece! The most
modern thing In art have seen for
long timer he exclaims.
Doubt begins to invade the critics
mind, and when one or two more en-
thusiastic amateurs have visited him
he is worked up to writing a column
of panegyric on the new master. The
amateurs are, of course, sent by the
dealer.
One or two articles and the boom is
in full swing Wealthy and simple
minded collectors, remembering how
other painters have been decried in
their early days and how their works
later have commanded fancy prices,
rush in.
The new master makes about 10 per
cent of the profit and the dealer the
other 90 per cent. The new master Is
at the mercy Of the dealer. If he
grumbies the dealer floods the auction
rooms with q hundred or so of his
masterpieces and orders his agents not
to bid. the result being that the can
vases sell at rubbish prices, and the
boom is burst.-Gil Bias.

Bulls In Parliament.

Lord Londonderry once threw the
house of lords into roars of laughter
during the debate on the second read
ing of the Irish land bill by gravely de-
claring that this is the reason why
you have failed to settle the Irish land
question in the future as you have
done in the past
In the course Of the same speech he
concluded a period with: This is the
keystone of the bill. Are you going to
kill it?'
Better still was a sentence which he
uttered in 1897 when speaking once
more on the Irish land question: That,
your lordship will see," referring to
quotation he had just made, endorses
up to the hilt what have said. Lon

QUEER WEDDING GIFTS.
One Couple of Mature Years Received
Pair of Collins.

An Englishman extremely fond Of
hunting received as a wedding gift
from an anonymous person complete
set Of false limbs a set of artificial
teeth and a couple of glass eyes, to
procure all of which the sarcastic
donor must, of course. have put him
self to considerable expense. Accom-
panying these strange presents was a
note wherein the hope was expressed
that by reason of the recipients many
falls while following the hounds, some
or all of these substitutes might ulti-
mately prove IF use. AS the bride
groom had incurred much enmity while
holding office under his government, 1t
was supposed that these gifts came
from a disappointed office seeker.
A we'll known American writer re-
ceiyed from q rival man of letters a
scrap book wherein were carefully
pasted and indexed many hundreds Of
clippings containing adverse criticisms
touching the formers work, and a
popular artist was presented with set
Of elementary works upon self instruc-
ton in drawing and painting.
Some years ago in the west an elder
ly, crusty merchant on espousing a
spinster Of mature age was presented
by an undertaken with two collins for
himself and wife, letter which ac-
companied these CHASTITY gifts stating
that they would, unlike most of the
other offerings received, be sure to be
Of service. Naturally enough the
bridegroom resented this singular If
useful gift, and it took all the efforts
of mutual friends to prevent a breach
of the peace,
Like vexation was no doubt felt by
an infrm octogenarian in Ohio who
welded a pleasure loving woman more
than fifty years his Junior. The pres
ent in this case was a large brass cage
"intended.' so the inevitable accom-
panying letter stated. Ito restrain the
Maynard flights of a giddy young wife

theatrical man relates the following
concerning the great actress Rachel:
st seems that upon certain open
ing night Rachel received enthusiastic
applause, but on the second night it
was so noticeably slim that the actress
felt deeply grieved and bitterly COM
planned that the claque was not doing
its duty. The leader Of the hired 'ap-
plause makers on hearing of her dis
pleasure wrote her letter in which he
endeavored to excuse himself from any
blame.

what really took place: At the first

We had three acclamations. four hilar-
tiles, two thrilling movements, four
renewals of applause and two indei-
mite explosions. In fact, to such an
extent did we carry our applause that
the occupants of the stalls were scan
