TIPPING AN ARTIST.

Up the information Wanted.

Up the information Wanted.
Wlnslow Homer was a great painter
who had the unusual good fortune TO
have his merit appreciated early IN
life. But no one ever presumed less
on a wide reputation. Affectation was
a weakness from which his sense of
humOr saved him.
In his biography by Mr. w. ii
Downs Is printed the story Of New
York gentleman Of wealth and artistic
tastes who made the journey to Scar
boro. Me-, where Homer had his studio.
TO make the artists acquaintance.
On his arrival he found the studio
door locked The owner was nowhere
TO be seen lie wandered about the
cliffs for awhile until he met man
I'm rough old suit Of clothes, ruSjei
boots and n battered hat, who carried
fishpole He accosted the fisherman
thus:
"Say. my man, If you can tell me
where can find Winslow Homer ]
have quarter for you"
Where's your quarterT" said the
fisherman.
He handed II over and was astound'
sd TO hear the quIzzIcal Yankee fisher
man say. II am Wlnslow Homer"
The sequel OF this unusual introduc
ton was that Homer took his new nc
quaintance back to the studio, enter
tained him and before he left sold him
a picture.
