For the booming of a Dew artist an
astute dealer U nevexary. He catches
nis arust as young as possible, prefer
ably as an exhibitor of crazy canvas.-
at the autumn salon of the Independ
ems' exhibition, and commissions him
to paint 100 pictures a year.
-One by one. occasionally in twos and
threes, at Judicious intervals the deal
er nends the pictures to the Hotel
Drouot for sale by public auction
There he has confederates, who raise
the price at each sale, and he buy
them in himself:
After a few months the young ar
tist's canvases have a certain market
value, and the next step Is taken, to
turn their painter Into a modern mas
ter The critics are attacked. One of
tbem Is asked to look at some daub,
and when be cries out with horror the
dealer says:
" "What? You don't like it? Take It
home with you as a favor to me. live
with it six months and then"

LONDON THEATERS.
They Charge From Penny to Six
pence For a Bill of the Play.
At the- London theaters when the
young woman shows you to a seat she
asks if you wish a program. If you
do you pay sixpence In the orchestra
or dress circle or a 'program hand
somely printed . on fine paper. The
price ranges down through .."thrip
pence" and "tuppence" as the galler
ies ascend to a penny in the cockloft
The quality of paper and the general
artistic merit of the program decline
with the price, but exactly the same
information Is conveyed for a penny
as for sixpence. The fastidious thea
ter goer might prefer to pay a dime for
a neat and, simple program rather than
to have a bulky bunch of advertise
ments gratis, as in New York but
these London programs, 'although not
so thick as those of New York, are not
devoid of advertisements. This gives
the purchaser the feeling that he is be
ing worked at both ends. A lady re
minds me, however, that a program in
a New. York theater costs her 10 cents,
as the smeary printing rubs off on her
white gloves, the cleaning of which
costs a dime., t
The quality of the performance at
the better London theaters certainly
averages no higher than' that at simi
lar theaters In New York. The music
halls are the resort of the great mid
dle class. These . are great '. auditori

time the patricians or aristocrats of
Rome had everything" their own way.
But when the plebeians (or. as we
would say, the "plain people") got their
tribune the reckless tyranny of the.
patricians ceased. The tribune had
great power. He could veto almost
any act and nullify almost any law
passed by the Romans. Liberty among
