Corot's Great Charity

It is well known that of no other ar
lists work than of Corot's have so
many spurious limitations been brought
on the market. Once gentleman who
had bought picture, signed "Corot,"
from a minor picture-deaier, came to
the artist with that very picture, and
asked If the work was really from his
brush. Corot denied his authorship.
Whereupon the irate gentleman said
that he would prosecute the dealer for
fraud. Corot exclaimed: Prosecute
him! Nonsense! The man may have
wife and children. Would you make
them all miserable?" Never mind
wife and children! It's forgery, and
justice demands. i. :" Justice!
Bah! There is so little wanted to
make a real Corot of this tiny pic
ture." He put the picture on the easel,
and with some strokes of his brush
changed the bogus Corot into a real
one, and, handing it back to the aston
ished gentleman, he added: "Now you
cannot say any longer that 1t is for

MOTHERS OF THEN AND NOW
Conditions Are Only Different, No

Writers May Assert.

Si Tie popular" writer who bewails
what he assumes to be the fact that
the. "old-fasaioned" mother is no more
is liable to, defeat his own purpose if
that be intoxicating in children the
highest possible regard for their pa
rents. 1t is a danger which even the
quantitative theory Of literature or
space rates cannot justify.
The mother of the past, of course,
was different from the mother of the
present, as different on the whole as
the conditions Of life then and now,
but since her daughter is the mother
of the present there must be some
points of similarity. All the good in
our mothers and grandmothers GER
tainly could not have vanished. 1t
will be paying scant tribute to those
dear, good women who have laid down
their receipts and examples and pass
ed on to say so. And, Of course, this
writer does not mean to do that, yet
he comes very near doing what he
does not intend.
The fallacy of the whole sentimen-
tai notion that because things and
people are not like they used to be
they are not as good lies in the pat
:ent fact that they cannot be alike, and
If they were it would simply be be-
cause of the pre- ant generation being
SO much inferior to the past that it
was unable to do no more than stand
still.

Future Statesman Was Dumped in the

Stage Coach Was Upset by
Careless Driver.

In his old age, say from 1870 to his
death in 1882, Thurlow Weed, the
most skilful Wing politician of his
day, who made William II. Seward
governor of New York and United
States senator, who named Zachary
Taylor for the presidency and Millard
Fillmore for the vice-presidency, and
who, at the birth of and during the
first years. OF the Republican party,
was, a national power, was one of the
most delightful story tellers to be
found anywhere. He had vast fund
of anecdotes, many of them being Wv
idly descriptive of our political life
from 1920 until 1875.
1t was during the story telling pc
riod of this great politician that 1
came to know him well, and many an
evening / spent with him listening to
his "reminiscences and watching him

by his physician--a tablespoonful of

There was one persistent friend,
and good one, too, who was con-
stantly asking the commodore for gen.
eral advice respecting the investment
of money. Even that the commodore
did not like much to give; but at last
he said to the tempter: I will give
you the best advice that can If you
will call upon me in the course Of a
day or two, and hope you will heed
it after / have given it to you.
"Of course, the man was greatly
pleased to think that he had at last
broken down the commodore's reserve
that he was finally to be taken into
the confidence of an expert in finan-
cial investment. You may be sure he
was in the seventh heaven Of delight
during the interim, and with shining
expectancy he appeared before the
commodore at the appointed time.
You want to know my advice
about investing money, do your the
commodore drawled Well, sonny, !
will give it to you in few words, and
l hope you will heed it. In the first
place, never buy anything that can't
sell right off .and with a fair chance
of selling at a profit. And in the Sec
ond place, never invest your money in
real estate, because you can't tell
whether you can sell right off or not.
That's the best advice can give you,
and wonder if you'll follow it?'
"It was advice that the commodore's
sons and his grandsons followed re-
ligiously," continued Senator Depew.
Indeed, the Vanderbilt family, up to
and including the third generation,
never bought real estate for invest
ment." And the senator might have
added that today this Vanderbilt rule
is being strikingly broken in New
York by Alfred, of the fourth genera
tion, who is investing several millions
of dollars in a hotel enterprise.
