FOOLED EVEN his BROTHER
First Writings Of Benjamin Franklii,

able Nom de PLUME.

My brother had, in lT20 OF 1873. be-
gun to print newspaper. 1t was lie
second that appeared in America and
was called the New England Couraat.
The only one before it was the Boston
News Letter. | remember his being
dissuaded by some OF his friends from
the undertaking as not likely TO sac.
coed, one newspaper being, IT, their
Judgment, enough for America. At this
time (177D there are not less than five
and twenty. He went on, however, with
the undertaking, and, after having
worked in composing the types and
printing off the sheets, was employed
to carry the papers through the streets
to the customers.
He had some ingenious men among
his friends, whosamGsec themselves b.
writing little pieces for this paper,
which gained ii Gre L and made it
more in demand, n these gentlemen
often visited US. + ing their CONVEX
sations and their counts of the ap-

among them; but, .eing still boy and
suspecting that M brother would OBJ
iect to printing anything of mine in
his paper If he knew it to be mine,
contrived to disguise my hand and,
writing an anonymous paper. put it
at night under the door Of the print
ing house. 1t was found in the morn
ing and communicated to his writing
friends when they called in as usual.
They read it, commented on ii in my
hearing, and / had the exquisite pleas
ure of finding it met with their appro-
baton and that, in their different
guesses at the author, none were
named but men of some character
among US for learning and ingenuity.

were not really so very good ones as

The origin of the beauty spot is
interesting. The Duchess de Mont
morrillon, suffering with a boil on her
cheek, resorted to putting on a bit
of black mixture, which she had been

the morning she either forgot to wash

SO the tale goes-and appeared before

GREAT HAZARD IN ART
MANY ARTISTS OF SKILL WHO
SCARCELY MAKE A LIVING.
As a Rule the Pictures of Famous
Painter Bring Highest Prices After
His Brush Has Ceased to
Move Forever.


In art, as in most other professions,
the "plums" fall into the hands of the
lew. The Sargent or Herkomer may
make his $4,000 in twelve months by
ais brushes; Mr. "Dauber," who start
ed his career with equal promise, may
barely earn the check that pays his
frame-maker's bill.
Jean Francois Millet lived and died

ribbon of the Legion of Honor 1t was
the proudest day of his life when he
received $3.50 for the "Angelus," which
a generation later was sold for s116,-
1870 at the Secretan SALE John Crome
was glad to pocket dollar apiece for
pictures, any one Of which would be
snapped up today for hundreds of dol
lars. George Morland parted with
many a masterpiece for the price of
an evenings carouse; and Rem
brandt's canvases are valued today at
twenty million dollars-yet he left
nothing to his heirs beyond his clothes
and his paint brushes.
And who will say that these magi-
clans of the palette were less skilful
than the Orchardsons and Alma-Tade-
mas of later years, whose canvases,
with the paint scarcely dry on them
were exchanged for $4,000 or $4,000
each; than Frank Holl, who painted
100000 worth of portraits in a sin
gle year; of Landseer, whose estate
was sworn at 100000?
Today the painting of pictures, for
nineteen artists out Of twenty. is a
costly hobby, which leaves little mar
gin for even such modest luxury as
marmalade. For every score of can
vases that are fit to adorn the walls
of Burlington house there is barely
one purchaser, and he has a keen eye
to bargain.
Take two typical cases known to
the writer. Both men are highly
trained artists, whose acadamy pic
lures are seldom branded with the ia

that he had barely $500 to show as the
net result Of two thousand hours of in
dustry last year. The. other, who had
a canvas ION the line" before he saw
his twenty-f1rst birthday, was glad to
sell his latest picture, the fruits of six
months work, for less than its frame
cost.
The picture buyer of today has very
decided views as to what he wants
Give him bright landscape, seascape
or garden scene. with plenty of color
and he is willing to pay for this

But, sold or upsold, the pictures are
equally costly to produce. There may

One able artist told the writer: :"

The following story is being told at

MEXICO CITY E
 NEAR RESTORED

MEXICO CITY. May 6.-When tour ists again visit Mexico City they may be disappointed not to find on all sides evidence of the damage done by shat and shell during the ten days fighting in February. Already ma sons, bricklayers and carpenters are obliterating the scars of that con flict, and it will not be many weeks before the appearance of the capitals buildings. both public and private, is wholly normal.
 Rarely have contractors gained such quick results, and never, perhaps
 has it been demonstrated as well how a little plaster and kalsomine will make a bombarded wall appear "as good as a new" The capital today is city of patches. Much of the dam age done by shells was not apparent from the exterior, since in hundreds of instances the shells tore their way through the walls before exploding, leaving in sight outside only holes often not more than six inches Tn diameter. The explosion on the in side of the house resulted in greater destruction.
 Due largely ta the fact that most of the buildings are Of some form Of stone or cement, there were few fires. Perhaps nine houses out of ten have for their outer finish a coat of teick plaster easy for the bullets from rifles and machine guns to scar, but few buckets of plaster filled the holes and a dab of tinted kaIsomine completed the restoration. The same method was used in filling the holes left by shells and but little more work and material was necessary in repairing a large number Of the bigger gaps made by repeated pounding of can non.
 in few cases, however it will be many weeks and probably months be- fore the normal aspect of streets is restored. There were a few build- ings where the damage was so great that mere patching VIII not suffice. Although monuments of one kind and another and statues erected in honor of this and that here are scattered throughout the city. few of these were damaged. The most complete piece of destruction of this character was that of clock tower erected in BucareIi street. This was shot to pieces. The government made no effort to repair 1t but, removing the debris, built on the site a flower garden. Since sod Instead of seed was used there all ready is big circle of green, and in this were planted flowers already in bloom. It presents an appearance of having been there for some years.
 Huerta's Problem.
 Before the present provisional gov ernment was established it was evil dent to many students of Mexican af- fairs that President Huerta would have to confront another revolution. and within a few weeks 1t was dem onstrated that his problem was Iarg- CT than that of his predecessor. but In the first week of April there were few who would venture a forecast Any guess at that time as to the turn of events might have been made, bat the one which appeared nearest was that the rebellion would grow stead fly in power
