state Commerce Commission in the

A "rrimitive" Painter.

Henri Rousseau, n man who usrd TO
hold minor government position IN
France, was for a quarter OF cen
tury the Joke Of artists and art students
in Paris. For years In the independ-
ent ssion he showed dauhs which
had not the most distant kinship with
art. Some of his famous" pictures
were q Lady on Sofa In Jungle"
a Tiger In a Jungle" Niger In a
Jungle" He affected jungles, which
consisted of innumerable parallel green
lines to represent grass; the tiger was
a painted wooden toy; the lady looked
as IL she had come out of Noah's
ark. The unfortunate Rousseau went
on exhibiting the same sort Of work
every year, and the painful thing was
that he gradually became a celebrity.
Sinister humorists told him he had
genius, and he took himself quite Sc
riously. II am real primitive" he
would say. Some practical jokers even
went the length of buying his pictures.
