First Crude Attempts to illustrate

First Crude Attempts to illustrate
Events of the Day.
1t is little surprising to learn that
the first journal to give illustrations
with any frequency was the Mercu-
RUS Civilius, which came out during
the civil war in England with portraits
of Charles I. and his queen, Cromwell
and bis officers and Prince Rupert.
More elaborate pictures dealing with
the war were. however, left to the
pamphlets Of that time. The frost
fair on the Thames In 1853 was made
the subject OF an interesting broadside,
and so also was the funeral of Queen
Mary II. in 1896.
With the eighteenth Century the art
of illustrating actualities grew. Car
features abounded, now of the Jacob
ties, now of the south sea bubble or
similar exciting events. The Daily
Post of 1I40 afforded an example OF a
daily paper attempting to illustrate a
current event. On March % of that
year 1t published detailed diagram
of Admiral Vernon's attack on Porto
Bello.

other day by Maurice Meyer, Mrs.
Bowne's attorney. from Toxic. where
the couple now reside.
Strangely enough. the letter ar
rived at the same time that Mrs.
Bowne's divorced husband married
ming. Manning took the lonely and
broken hearted Bovine into his home
when the former actress ran away
with Mott. Bovine repaid Manning's
kindness by falling in love with Mrs.
Manning and marrying her as soon
as he could. In the meantime Mrs.
Mott, who lives here with her child,
steadily refuses to get a divorce.
Mrs. Bownes letter in part follows:
81 have so many things to make
me happy these days that / have but
little time to worry about things
that the world insists should make
me otherwise. During our stay in
Hong Kong / was toe busy-too
deeply and lovingly interested in the
fight that Mr.. Mott was making
against all adverse circumstances.
liquor and other things, to pay much
heed to the written untruths that
reached us from various sources in
America Now that the battleNis
won and his old enemy has been abb
soiutely overcome, all other things
are beginning to come our way.
Some times we fret over the
seeming delay, but as we look back
over the past two years We can see
wherein all things have worked to-
gether for the good of each of us.
Had the way been all smooth sailing,
We would have missed many proofs
of our love for each other and the
intrinsic worth of that love which is
above all other things in this world"
Mrs. Bovine then refers to Motifs
mission to aid humanity, and says:
He has learned much out here in
the east about conditions that can
be thrust upon the people by the
selfishness and greed of the upper
classes, and it is now my ambition
for him to use his great gift as a
writer in helping to alleviate these
conditions.
HE is no longer the 'millionaire's
SON. seeking only his own selfish
pleasures. He is a sober, hard-work-
ing and what is far and away be-
yond that, deeply thinking man!
Soon his work will begin to appear
and then his old associates and
friends may read of the great trans
formation that has taken place in
his heart and mind"
Mrs. Bovine then speaks of the
feline" and "primevar' instincts of
woman, saying:
Speaking from the primeval in
stinct of the woman, which lies but
slightly dormant in the heart of all
my sex, I have the man-what more
can 1 want? What good do laws do |
me when 1 have love enough and |
sufficient to hold him |
against all other attractions?
But above this feline instinct is a |
far greater one-that of an earnest |
desire to help him on to a glorious |
career as writer and a jealous par |
tisan of the rights of humanity, |
above all those of wealth, position |
and power,
mo man can blame Mr.. Mott for /
his desire to have legal recognition |
Of our love and life together, and il |
his thing can be done without fur
her notoriety it will surely be best |
