One of the bystanders wag struck with the strong lines of the Impromptu cartoon and suggested selling It to the newspa per. Acting on this suggestion, Schultze went to the Tribune and was promptly turned down. He called on Dr. Frank Rellly, managing editor of the Chicago Morning News, who refused the sketches, but spoke kindly to the young artist. Some what encouraged, he submitted the sketches to Horatio Seymour, of the Herald. Here ait last they were accepted and exchanged for good dollars. GOT A JOB. Victor Lawson, of the Chicago Dally News, noticed the work of the young art ist and offered him a position at $16 a week. This was accepted and retained until an, opening on the Tribune at $30 a week presented Itself. After two years with the Tribune Schultie became man ager of the art department of the Times, Where he remained for several months. The great World's Fair in 18S3 proved an irresistible attraction and Schultze threw up his position to becomeit frbe lance. (After doing service on the Inter i)oea and the ChrerUsle, Sohultse visited ?w'jrfc.,. 6ut" rintfnjgji n6 opening return ed "to a -profitable proposition with W. D. Boyce, of Chicago. A trip to California filled in a year's time and while In San Francisco Schultze made a series of original4 lantern slides for Clarence Webater, of the Sah Fran cisco Post. This suggested the idea and some 20 series of lantern slides were sent to New York. These w-ere promptly re jected but visiting New York some six or seven months later every one was easily disposed of. " -ORIGINATED THE PICTURES. After "a lour-months' tour in Europe among old school grounds and familiar places Schu'tze returned to New York, and after contributing to Judge and other papers, for some time, went with the New York Herald, and in January, 1900, originated the now famous "Foxy Grandpa" serle. Foxy Grandpa" was an Instantaneous favorite. Children were enraptured with I his antics and grown folks were, much amused at his cleverness. "Bunny" re ceived letters galore from different sec tions and usually made firm friends of his correspondents. "Foxy Grandpa" was admitted without question Into the homes of the aristocracy as well as the homes of the masses. BOOMED HIS PAPER. The circulation of the Herald boomed considerably through this, grand, old) man, who had a proclivity for, winning but in Just the right way. The European ei..aon of the Herald published the "Foxy Grand pa" sketches simultaneously and the ojilldren of two continents were amused. Carl E. Schjjltze ear a resemblance to "Foxy Grandpa ' himself. Kouna ana 4ovial, good-natured to a degree, fond of a Joke, and pleasant witnai at au. times, Schultze ha (unconsciously, perhaps) Im parted some of his own personality to the clever old gentleman Of the sketch. Mr. Schultze resides at Mt. Vernon, N. Y., and is decidedly, a family man. There in the quiet of the -country life he con jures up the adventures. which have set a good portion of tha world a-smlllngi -.

ROOSEVELT ON THE TRUSTS. To use bis own homely phrase. Presi dent Roosevelt "stays put" on the trust qntstlon. His speech at Providence, R. I., though temperate and regardful of the benefit, and rights of organized capital. ro-venled a clear purpose in the sneaker's mind to put the great trusts and jinonop olles under curb of law. The president made it plain that he believes: First, that these corporations ought to be curbed. Second, that the existing law will be vigorously enforced. Third, that his odmlrilstrntlon win urge additional 'legislation,', m 6rder; that still greater' restraint may be put upon dKrt- gerons combinations.. i:-: i If will be noted that the President is even firmer on thld question now' than when he first dlscused this probleny In his message to congress. Time and more mature reflection seem to have deepened his convictions. Neither the blandish ments of great wealth nor the subtle threatB of the trust leaders and their or gans and attorneys have swerved him from the' pa'th of duty. This discloses courage of high order and firmness that is always one of the attributes of true statesmanship. Whatever else the Pres ident's enemies may say of him, they will not refer to him as a Jelly-fish. Spokes man-Review. Spokane. v DEMOCRATIC ERRORS.

In the Greek 'lor better .or for worse" means "take your medicine." . I knock on the social pest, whose social ratlnjr is a hat full of prunes, and who passes by old friends." He Is a snob.

The girl who has been raised in a cultured home; who possesses both talent and accom plishment; who has grown into a woman ly woma; and is too worthy for any young man, but who casts her life by her own choice with a smooth guy, whose brain are worth 2 cents a pound for soap easer-a . descendant of a long line of half-wits; a dlzsy f'oung dude too lazy to work' and too cowardly' to steak too everlastingly "ornery" fd raise a respect nfile crop or wild oats; ft young lollipop ribbon clert dh'$2 per aht a monopoly on the gdtl of -the globe that is the kind of Apollos American girls admire, and It would give a buzzard a bilious attack. I knock on the mother-in-law who goes loaded with advice. She Is not so many as some make out, but, like the bad egg In the dozen, it is tough on the man who gets her. I knock on the pessimist. He is an Ighmaellte and tells disagreeable truths, The thing to do is to Join the procession nnd stand for the things "what Is." STRIKES AT CRANKS.
