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

For the booming of 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
Ore by one. occasionally in twos and
thre"s. 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 certain market
value. and the next step is taken TO
turn their painter into modern mas
ter The critics arc attacked. One Of
them is asked to look at some daub,
and when he cries out with horror the
dealer says:
what? You don't like 1t? Take II
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 l have seen for a
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
grumbles the dealer foods the auction
rooms with a hun dred 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.

The Roman Tribune.

The tribunes in ancient Rome repre-
sented the people in much the same
way that the house of commons does
in England and the house of repre-
sentatives in this country. For long
time the patricians or aristocrats OF
Rome had everything their own way.
But when the plebeians (or, as we
would say, the plain people'D got their
tribune the reckless tyranny OF the
patricians ceased. The tribune had
great power He could veto almost
any act and nullify almost any law
passed by the Romans. Liberty among
the Romans dates from the time they
first secured their tribunes.-New York

The younger set in the ranks of the
Washington suffragettes have started
some innovations in equal suffrage
campaigning that have proven decid-
edly successful as we'll as novel. The
suffragettes no longer conduct their
vote getting crusades by the speech
making system only. Groups of the
young ladies 60 forth at the slightest
hint that they will be welcomed and
give suffrage entertainments which
consist of vocal and instrumental mu-
sic, dramatic readings and just little
suffrage talk mixed in. 1t is like a
little medicine in a lot of syrup, or
small advertisement entirely surround
ed by pure reading matter, and the
suffrage entertainers are receiving all
kinds of calls. One day they visited
the Soldiers Home at Port Orchard,
at another time they appeared at an
Old Folks picnic, while improvement
clubs, church socials and the like are
the scene of their efforts to entertain
and get in few words in favor of
"votes for women" The suffrage en-
tertainment is going to be big factor
in the efforts of the women to secure
the passage of the equal suffrage
amendment next November.
