"lu one of our western cities some ye.n-M ago," said a Kansas City man, "a friend of mine wnn employed ns a report er on one of the local papers. The next man nliove him was constantly taking him tu task fur alleged derelictions ill dutv and especially for mistakes in gram mar, punctuation und similar things. The editor who was forever quarreling wuu my friend, while a man of furee ami able tu write In a virile manner, was never theless detioieut In education, and his grammar was occasionally as Laid as seine cf that of Charles Dickens. Oue day he bad lsen particularly vicious in his criticisms of my friend.

Aside from the offense to hnglish In tills admonition to the American people, will the sentiment itself stand analysis?

ON WHOM WAS THE LAUGH t Aa Artll' Attempt to Have Faa With a Picture Dealer. The following good joke on a party of artists lor was it on the picture dealer?) was told by licorge Hogci t, who was one of the party, as an actual occurrence: "One day," said Mr. Bogert, "Fred erick Kust, Carlctuii Wiggins aud my self were down town and fur a lark stopped iu one of those cheap picture shops where they sell oil paintings fur alsuit Jl.!.'.'. After looking about a bit Kost selected one, supposed tu represent a der. Said be tu the dealer: " "Beg pardon, sir, but 1 niu green ut this business. Will yuu mind explaining this picture? Tfe deer appears tu have a melaiiehuly, hungry look on his face. Am I right ?' ' " 'Ouite correct,' replied the dealer. 'Step over here. This is better.' "'Von see, it's this way,' continued Kost coiilideiitiiilly: 'My wife and I are in the city for a few days to buy some paintings for our new house iu Indiana. I have to get a few bundled dollars' worth, and I reckon I had as well get them all right here.' "The dealer nearly dropped iu his trucks, but was equal to the emergency. " 'Yes, sir,' he said briskly, 'you have come to the best place in town, but le fure we U-giu business, gentlemen, come aver tu the Astnr House and have lunch with me.' " 'Thanks,' replied Kust without the ghust of a smile, 'we had a late break fast at the Waldorf-Astoria aud really duu't care for anything just yet. By th( way, have you any pictures by a niau uamed Carhton Wiggins?' " 'No; we had one by Wiggins, but couldn't sell it. We don't handle his pic tures.' " 'Anything by a fellow named Bogert?' "'No. Never expect to either. His are not worth having.' "'Aheiii! Have you any works of the tvlebnited artist Frederick Kost?' "'Kost?' said the dealer, scratching his head inedilatively. 'Kost? I don't think I ever beard of him.' "We were nearly choking with laugh ter Is-fore, but this last was ton much, timl tiie laugh we gave Kost put the deal it on, as the raying is.

"The Ou.irdiau Angel," diminutive uud irritating children offering loaves of bread to preposterously grateful and rtig tvd "poor" such works of art as these adorticd the walls of USt out of every 100 houses. It was depressing from an artis tic point of view, but this feeble iniitu tiou tfstilic.1 tu the supremacy of the no tile art of steel engraving, of which the masters wen' an inspired few. The en graved atrocities have vanished from the walls, and along with thorn the truly beautiful sHvimeiis of the art hare grown to Is less and less highly priird, except by tin connoisseur. .Steel engrav ing has come to lie one of the lost arts. Iu a few years all its followers will have passed away, and the good engravings now extant will eveu mure distinctly In come merely Interesting subjects for the eulbvtor rather than fur the admiration of the many. Steel engravers have nut yet found their occupation guile entirely. The old men who once engraved pictures of ambi tiuus sine and seove now toil such of them a are left over the details of bank notes. It is the one living branch of stiel engraving, one worthy enough ill its way, for the work is beautiful, but one which w ill never win the admiration oin'e showered on huge copies of great pic tures. To the general public the figure rather than the design of n bank note is of liniHirtaiice, and few stop to uute the delicacy of the lines, the grace of the MiuHsilioii, nil engraved, very likely, nith luviug rare by some old uuiu whose pride iu his art remains, although the glory of It has gone forever. This branch of engraving lias reached a higher development in America than anywhere else. The delicacy of the work is sometimes extreme and gives au idea nf the standing of the artist in the days when his sk II was put to hi-.-her uses. The old litcti are growing fewer every year. For t!:e sHsial prolcssiou of bank note engraving young nieu are lci:ig tiaiiiiil tu take their plan's, but for the broader wuik. us it used tu U carti"d uti. there will In' nu successors. The old en gravers are the last of their ancient guild, and with them the art of steel cu graving ns it relates tu large pictnie w ill die. But. narrow us is their tield, it is inter esting tu timl that these old artists recog nize one unot Iter's work by the minute details of the bank note or stock certifi cate. Much of it is done by geometric lathe in the hands of apprentices, but the touch of the true artist is i-m-itihle to Ills brother, just as it is pos-sible to dc- tis-t iu ii moment the style of a painter. llirre is always Infinite put tins ab-uit the idea of the world' losing anything beautiful it once possessed. It diss not mutter whether or not there lias c-uue something tu take its place the sadness is there. As a matter of fai t st. el en graving has passi-d away Is-causc somt thiug as satisfactory and far ehe.iiier has Is-eii discovered. Photography in a good enough substitute for the interior wurk which was so familiar n (n.t.ti-r ef a century ago. The rnge for etchi.ig ulsu hclH-il tu overthrow steel engrav ing fn in its Kisition of security, but the dovwifnll was brought uliont t hictly by the invention of photography. The plates engraved by really gisid workers cost a large sum of money and an amount of time disproKiittonate even to tile hi:ll price. Midler spent six years iu pe. fed iug bis "Sistiue Madonna," and the pih-e paid for it rewarded his time at a less rate than that ef an ordinary dry goods clerk of today. Such works were, indeed, a lalior f love, and to them there attached a si nti ineiitnl interest that can never cling nrouud the photograph which has driven the engraving from the tield. Au ordina ry photograph' r that is, a uuiu will) no special artistic iuspii-atioii can produce the beautiful work vliicli hangs in the place of tlnise once honored i spies of great pictures. Of course, steel engrav ings are still bought and sold and still hang ill the bouses of artistic pis, pie. put those who buy ure iu the main collectors. The general public no longer bsiks ut the old time favorites. To take up some vd utile of a gisid art journal of j.i years ago aud compare it with recent issues is tu meet u forcible reminder of the way lu which taste has changed. A ipiarter of a century ugu the pages of sm h vuluuies Were tilled with steel engravings and uothiug else, while now dashing color ef fects, daring "studies" iu charcoal, till puge after page. The position in the art world of the great engravers is ipiite Is-youd dispute. There is no ipiestioti of whether or not there is general interest iu their manner of work. The value of their engravings is fixed, nnd their service to the world is beyond (jnestioti. Were it not for Morgheii we night have had no idea of the beauty of Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper." The true spirit of nrt has been nolily preserv ed by such engravers and their followers, nnd there is about their work a charm which fashion cannot affect. But these works lire too high priced for the public tu know much of them, and ev ery year will increase their valm. For an engraving, if it is tu Is? perfect. nmt be printed nt the time the plate is made. Copies made after many years are, from the point of view of the connoisseur, worthless. Again, many plates have Is-en retouched by some clumsy hand and thus ruined, or worse than ruined, since they still exist to give u false impression of the work of u true artist. The engrav ings for which art lovers seek must lie those made at the time of the making of Hie plate. Since there are no t e en- Irurers and the work of the muster is Ii the course of nature becoming inure V rishable with every year, one may ob Ciiin au idea of the value lo the artist of these Tew great works.

I made up my mind to sell out the jewelry business, as I lost thirty pounds of llesh in oue year. I am very thanklul I took Thompson's Harosma and shall remain in Tilusville.
