Whistler, Master of Art, Began
Career in Humble Position Here

To his duties at the Coast Survey
Whistler brought not only high de-
gree of technical skill, but sur
prisingly original conception of how
the work should be done. Dignified.
even among the staid Government
bureaus of Washington, the Coast
Survey was a temple Of science, a
palace of the practical. Many of the
worlds greatest minds had lent their
brilliance to forwarding the hydro
graphic research of a young nation.
Certainly no genius such as Whistler
could drop in its midst without dis
turbing it's placid depths.
The copying of charts, no matter
how high a degree of skill they NAV
require, cannot satisfy the artist s
craving to create. So. as he bent
over his drawing board. the young
draftsman's fancy roamed through
felds which only an artist may know.
Through his brain tripped pictures of
unbelievable beauty, masterpieces too
great for mortal artist to imprison
on canvas.
Lost in his dreams, he neglected
his work, while his facile fingers must
place on the nearest surface, which
was usually the luckless chart on
which he was engaged, the creatures
of his fancy. Many a chart, reaching
h
drawings no respectable photographic
chart ever before boasted. Little
sketches full of life, sometimes pa
thetic, always original, yet meeting
with but small appreciation from a
practical superior. 40
Indeed. it is not difficult to under
stand why one who had lavished
time and thought on an exact chart
should fail to appreciate the draw
ings With which its margin was
adorned. Here an old soldier, there
an old woman, scene from some
forgotten page in the young mans
memory: all contrasted most vividly
with the symmetry of lines of figures
OF the chart proper.
Needless to say, Whistler's inabil-
fty to allow a chart to leave him
with the same severe chasteness of
line with which It entered his hands
came very close to placing a sudden
period to his services. Certain 1t is
that he very soon became a source
of wonder, amusement and much bu-
reaucratic profanity.
NOR was this the only clash of a
temperamental personality with
an unpoetic atmosphere. Whistler
had the artists supreme contempt
for the tlmeclOck. His principle was
that time was made for man, not man
for time. Time was. by the best
philosophy, merely d mode of thought,
If the powers that were persisted
in the idiotic belief that duty must
begin at certain hour, end at
another and continue unabated be-
tween these times, he, not having
been consulted, could not conscien-
tiously conform thereto. AS a con-
sequence, his erratic hours were
another imminent peril to apoplectic
bureaucrats.
We can picture his life there, the
eternal conflict between his creative
urge, his instinct for leadership and
his subordination to the creation of
others. There can be no doubt that
1t was trying experience, not so
much for whistler as for those at
tempting to develop him into a COM
petent subordinate. Knowing his
caustic wit as we do, the unfortunate
superiors who attempted to remon-
strate with him must have had an
extremely unhappy time.
However, the life had its compen-
sations. Though far from the Latin

dear Senator said the Colonel. "I,
too, have a gnawing feeling, but 1t Is
in my soul. My honor demands
mere hundred dollars, and it must be
obtained"
They sat there brooding and silent
as the bugle sounded post call for the
first race. They heard the murmurs
and the roar of the crowds. They
peeped out into the paddock and
watched the crowds with which they
could not mingle. Indeed. the chances
of their ever being able TO enter that
paddock again seemed DINNER and
DINNER. The Senator began to doZe
fitfully. but the Colonel watched
through the opening of the hedge,
like one who had faith that a miracle
might be performed.
Post call had sounded for the last
race. The senator had reused him
self and was peering forlornly through
the hedge. A stout figure was COM
ing in their direction through the
deserted paddock.
It's the Judge, the welcher," said
the Senator. He has 500 of our
money on him. too. Mushmouth saw
him with a 800 bill making a flash
last night
The frame of the Colonel seemed
galvanized. Are you sure?" he de-
manded.
"Mushmouth saw the BILL" said the
Senator.
Then, by heaven, we'll collect our
Just dues said the Colonel in a tense
whisper We'll ambush him.
The Judge came straight to the
opening in the hedge on his way TO
beat the rush for the early train. AS
he pressed through, the Colonel sprang
to his feet. With one vigorous blow to
the jaw he dropped the Judge. The
Senator hurled himself upon the
f1abby form and seated himself fore
IDLY on the Judges stomach. The
Senator's nimble fingers felt for the
inside vest pocket of the Judge and

ment, then smiled graciously as she
took the bill
You see. Perry" she said to her
escort, my judgment is very good,
I won a new collar for Fiji on your
filly Thank you so much" she said
to the Colonel, who stood bareheaded.

"Of course, could not have forgot

There was a mischievous twinkle in
the eyes of Mrs. Arburton, I'd. Per

burton" said the Colonel unabashed
But my friend. the Senator. and /
are dining with the Secretary Of State
at the Army and Navy Club, and 1
am taking him there in my car. Good
afternoon"
The Colonel was standing there
bareheaded looking after the depart
ing Limousine. "Oh, my stomach, -
moaned the Senator. How Will we
get back? / haven't a dime"
The Colonel reached into his pocket
and produced just that sum, and II
was one of the most anaemiC-looking
dimes ever seen at a race track.
He took his companions arm. we
! can Walk 10 the nearest ITOl6N line,

the tide over the bridge will soothe
us both. Such is the sporting life,
my dear Senator. But tomorrow is
another day"
He WINGED suddenly. A sharp pebble
! had pierced the thin sole of his sheo.
But Immediately he recovered his
stride like a game old thoroughbred.
He smiled brightly At least 800 had
seen him talking to The Mrs. Arbur-
ton and score had heard her invite

Quarter, the convivial spirit of Bo-
hemia never dies within the true ar
tist. Across the avenue, snugEled,
in that far-off day, beneath the pro-
tecting shadow of the Capitol, stood
the 7invitingly swinging doors of
saloon, where the beer was always
cold and the company always con-
genial. Thirty seconds brisk walk
from his desk, and Whistler might
be carefully inspecting the ceiling
through the bottom of a tall glass,
while he discussed the leading is
sues of the day with genial states
men. It is also easy to picture the
debonair figure. dominating the
knights of the bar-rail. while his
brilliant epigrams brought gales of
laughter that ratified the glasses
along the polished mahogany. as his
work lay neglected and forgotten
across the street.
This practice was SO much 70
Whistler's liking that he continued It.
with the not surprising result that
his chief began to wonder where he
kept himself. The indoor sport Of
keeping tab on Whistler eventually
| resolved itself into a procedure like
this: When he was wanted the Office
hatrack was examined: should his hat
and coat occupy its wonted place il
was plain that he was about the
| building and would return shortly.
If, however, as was more often the
case. his hat and coat were conspicu-
Gus by their absence 1t was clear that
he had developed a sudden thirst. in
which case the time of his return was
| problematic.
The outraged chief then recalled
the offending craftsman with more
celebrity than politeness.
After several similar embarrass-
| ments the young man discovered the
| system used in his detection Then
the remedy was plain, even TO an
artist, and the next time he came to
work he brought with him two sep
| arate and distinct hats and coats.

THE fate of the square peg in the
round hole is inevitable Time
after time the scuf1ing feet OF the
young craftsman wore thin places in

executives office. The month of Feb

patience and of Whistler's services

forgotten-in unctuously regretful
tones, explained in detail the where

believe that he went to great pains
to give the young scapegrace a few
helpful precepts. Carefully going

\ Shut up" hissed the Senator. "or
I'll choke you to death, you double
crossing rat. We're only taking what
is coming to us, and you ought to be
glad to be allowed TO live"
Let me up" pleaded the Judge.

The Senator slowly released him.

proceeded to obey the admonition.
There was roar from the track.
The last race was over. The crowd
swarrned out of the stands and the
clubhouses. The automobile horns
started. The Colonel reached over
eagerly and seized the bill.
"Our honor is saved" he said ex-
ultantly, and started toward the track

The dome Of the Capitol is spar

November, 1854. The Coast Survey is
assuming it's matinal activity when
new figure is observed entering its
portals. A debonair youth of diminu-
tive figure, but with an air of bound
less confidence, pauses for a moment
on the sidewalk to contemplate the
chaste exterior of the building A
moment of contemplation, the thresh-
old is crossed. and the name of James

way to the limited pay roll of the in

This young man had lately graced
the cloisters of West Point, but the

Certainly, for his new field, he could
have chosen no more coiorful me-
tropolis than Washington of the sos.
Statesmanship had but lately come to
its golden age, abolition had recently
become one of the leading issues, and
a careless word on Senate floor or in
committee room meant-not a con-
gressional investigation-but ride
across the Potomac and coffee and
pistols for two.
The salons of Washington boasted
the wit, beauty and chiva1ry of the
world. To the strains of the polka
at the embassy balls, was displayed
the last glow of oldworld courtliness,
and society was something more than
a high light of ostentation on a drab
back ground of formality. In such
field, what could not a young man of
genius and personality accomplish?
Full of high hopes of social and ar
tistic triumphs, he entered upon his
new duties with a surprising conf
dence.
