Ford MADDOX Hueffer tells in MEM
cries and Impressions" a story Of Ros
setti and his china collecting. A GER
tain potter had acquired a valuable set
Of Chinese tea things Of which he had
duplicates made In his pottery. Then
he got an agent to sell the limitations
to Rossetti for a large sum.
"Coming to tea the next day." relates
Mr.. Hueffer, "he remarked to Rossetti,
Hello. Gabriel. Iwhere did you get those
clumsy imitations?' And eventually he
sold the originals to Rossetti for a
figure considerably over that at which
Rossetti had bought the forgeries. At
each visit thereafter he brought one
Of the forged cups In his pocket. and
while Rossettis back was turned sub.
stituted the forgery for n of the
genuine cups. At the end Of the series
Of visits, therefore, Rossetti once more
possessed the copies and the potter the
genuine set, which he sold. l believe, to

GRATING NEWSPAPERS

In these days Of graft and easy
money We hear a lot about the favor
tie stunts of the get-rich-Quick gentry.
We read day after day Of their doings
and wonder at their boldness and
c%raftiness which enabled them to get
away with It. We hear OF this boodler
and that CRATER and rejoice at the
luck OF chance which exposed him to
the naked eye, and when he gets his
Just deserts we chortle and chuckle
and lift a limping voice to cry out a
paen Of praise for the hand that
brought the scamp to book.
The hoi polloi and the dear public,
the preacher and the publican, the
pharisee and the hayseed, all join in
chorus when the CRATER is exposed
and the country saved.
But the biggest lot of graft in this
country is read about every day and
none outside OF the newspaper shops
know II. Day after day the newspapers
carry indisputable evidence of hold
ups that are the real and genuine
thing and yet there is none to raise
a hand or let out one little lay" OF
protest. These holdups are not of the
bloody and scintillating Dick Turpin
kind. They are prosiac and without
flourish. But they get there just the
same. Nor would you guess in q month
unless you happen to be the holder
up or the held-up. For it is the news
papers that are held up. Every man,
woman and child in the average com
munity feels that it is their proud
privilege, a right guaranteed them by
custom more binding than any written
constitution or unwritten law, to work
