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

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

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

the Manhattan Opera' House, and
