Both : uayand Serious. too Much 'Accredited to . the Artistic Tern- pertinent The Successful Career of V. a Painter of Grizzly Bears Sum mer Season of Grand Opera. From Our Mew York Correspondent. HAVE come to the conclusion that the so called artistic tempera ment Is not a congenital affair, but Is acquired by those who need It as an apology for their own weird do ings. I know- a Gotham artist, to day the most fa mous painter of grizzly bears In the universe, who Is a case In point. Twenty years ago he was a farm er's lad on the Kansas prairie. One day when I was about to approach his father In the matter of an overdue subscription I discovered the boy stretched at full length on the grass In the dooryard, his spare little body convulsed with agony, bis sobs and moans most piti ful In their Intensity. "Why, Franklin," 1 asked him com passionately, "what has happened?" "I've been wal-wal-walloped," he choked with a fresh access of grief. "Who did It, and why?" I couldn't help Inquiring. "Pop for spoiling the new horse barn," he groaned bitterly. Just then the parental castlgator ap peared, still Irate and inclined to re gard the matter -as-unsettled. His grievance was of such magnitude that be began at once to offer me a shure of It. "Just come along' with me and I'll show you what a good for nothing boy I've got," he proposed. We left the weeping victim to strug gle with his sorrow and Indignation and proceeded to the . new horse barn, a rather pretentious structure of pine siding and sawed shingles, the whole crowned by a cupola with bright green shutters. Altogether it was far more imposing than the family residence, and Its new coating of white lead made It the most conspicuous object In the landscape. Before we reached It I discovered the cause of (ho erup tion. Th arpAt Hlidlllir llCKjfS M'"..k).,,.. ...!. n l-noor Vint thnsn J , -Mutna Lnuviiji .

In wjA;b the grizzly bear was even then a prom- "TOU'LIi have to wait FOB YOUR MOSEY." lnent figure. I was at an age, too, when It Is a joy to launch an unexpect ed verbal torpedo, and I seized the op portunity. "My friend." I said, with the best Imitation of the manner of an expert I could manage, "you are making the mistake of your life. The day will come when that boy of yours will be paid more than the cost of your barn tor a single picture. Will It be con venient for you this morning to square your account with the Iszardvllle Bau ner of Freedom?" For a full half minute the father of my embryo genius stared at me nn If he were not quite certain of hli..seh Then he replied: "You'll have to wait for your money until that picture la sold." The most amazing feature of this story Is that my prediction baa been fulfilled literally. It has come to pass more than once that a painting by that despoller of the horse barn has been sold for many times the cost of that structure. The story of the boy'i transfor mation into one of the most suc cessful artists of Gotham runs something like this: His father could never be convinced that bis son was a genius and de clined absolutely to have anything ,to do with the business. In time the boy made his way to New York and became a pupil at the ArtHB attacti:d tub Students league, attkstiox Here he attract- UA CUA,B ed the attention of William M. Chase, who bad made hla mark and could afford to be geueroua. 'The famous portrait painter befriended the boy and made It possible for him to receive the beat Instruction to be had In America. When he had prepared himself 'the young art student went to Paris. There bia quaint nituner and marked talent secured for him admission to many rtudlos not open to the ordinary Amer I an. . When he returned he opened a studio in a downtown attic and began to combine art and starvation. Even in those early days he bad committed himself to the grizzly and painted nothing else. I have now in my pos session one of those old time studies, a token of the artist's appreciation of my sympathy in the horse barn epi sode. At the time I regarded it as an Impossible affair, a grizzly perhaps cor rect anatomically, but too uuplctur esque for everyday use. So I coi signed the canvas to the top shelf of my cupboard without a thought that some day it might become iny most promising asset, as it ba. Before long the young man found friends and patrons. I never could understand why it was that his skeleton-like grizzlies became popular. Per haps It was for the same reason that Chase's emaciated portraits of society women became the vogue, nis bears, however, "caught on" with a grip that has never loosened, and he can sell them for more than a menagerie would be willing to pay for their originals. Now, right here i3 a good place for me to return to my preliminary state ment that the artistic temperament must not be held accountable for all the freak things done In Its name. For example. It has nothing whatever to do. with the successful bear limner's choice of a residence. Today at the ; very top notch of his vogue be Is liv ing, with his charming wife and four equally charming children, in an old deserted stable nenr Washington square. This he has transformed at the exp'ise of a few dollars Into a combination studio aud residence. It Is but a sorry shelter for one's lares ; IN QUEST OF THE BEADS. and penates, fronting on a malodorous alley, devoid of most creature com forts, cold as the bam It once was In winter and correspondingly stuffy In summer. But It Is not on account of the ar tistic temperament that my friend of tlie barn door decoration is living In Finnegan alley. The real reason is to be found In the fact that the man who has made grizzly bear3 produce fur him an Income such as few of us enjoy Is also possessed of a shrewd studio Is one of the best known and most f renurnted "slchts" of New York. It 1 the fashion to be seen there, and cards to the bear painter's teas are be- Iieved to confer social distinction on those who receive them. The operatic millennium Is nigh. Mr. Oscar Hammerstelu Is the man who hns announced Its speedy coming and even set a date for Us apiearauce. It la to come off In New York Aug. 10 at the Manhattan Opera' House, and those who expect to be present would do well to prepare their white robes of the moot diaphanous materlnl, for Gotham Is not in the temperate zone at that time of the year. This announcement Is the first gun .,. campaign n gainst the popular ob tuseness in the matter of grand opera. It la to be educational and uplifting, cud those who know Its leader and fc.tve taken note of his method!! ore convinced that It will be conduct ed with skill and discretion. A three mouths' season of grand opera given with all the at tenbn to detail that characterizes the regular sea son, a great variety of treatment, no special favor shown to compesers of any particular country, an opportunity for new compositions to compete for the popular verdict these are some of the good things promised by Mr. Hani mersteln. It has been proved that Gotham Is not opera moribund during the heated j term. More than oue of the peripatetic ; organisations - which have disputed Bpace with dog days oud the mosqul-. toes lias made goou in every way ex cept financially. Mr. Hammerstelu cares little for that phase of the mat terbe has said so. Nor does It dis courage hlni to be told that at that ( time of the year no real Gothamlte will j admit that he U lu town. Although he has made no public statement to that effect, Mr. Hammerstelu kuows that j New York Is not eutlroly deserted ln j the fervid period, that It Is a time when numerous visitors from all partj ' of the country have the good sense to make their annual pilgrimage to the metropolis and that these visitors ate music hungry and have the money U satisfy their longing.
