GROWTH OF CARICATURE.
John Law’3 Wild Schemes Gave It a
Tremendous Impetus.
Caricature is nowadays one of the
principal methods of criticism. No
movement can overreach the mark
without eliciting dozens of works of
art from caricaturists ail over this and
all other countries. .
This branch of criticism and attack
dates far back, but the greatest im¬
pulse it ever felt came from the age
of tremendous speculation, when, in
1719 and 1730, John Law wa3 manipu¬
lating things financial in France. Nev¬
er before had the financial world been
so carried off its feet as it was at that
time. Members of the nobility were
waiting for a chance to purchase
shares in Law’s schemes. Duchesses
and ladies of high renown tried their
most persuasive charms on Law in the
attempt to get hold of shares. Men
hired out their backs for writing desks,
so great was the press of business in
making contracts, and one hunchback
is reputed to have made 100,000 francs
in this way in a few weeks. The
French wont veritably mad over the
schemes to become wealthy. Natural¬
ly the papers of the time, especially
those of Holland, caricatured the state
of affairs. There were pictures of all
sorts caricaturing Law, the nobility,
the schemes and everything connected
with them.
it was this tremendous amount of
pictorial work that first directed the
energies of William Hogarth in Lon¬
don in this direction. Caricaturing
began to be used more and more in the
political field, and soon afterward it
caused the shelving of ltobert Walpole
from the English ministry. Ever since
then has caricaturing been one of the
bitterest and most effectual methods of
checking public men and their
schemes.
Another Knock.
“Hotel clerks are cold hearted.” sigh
ed the shabby tragedinn. who was trav¬
eling with a toothbrush and a com¬
pass.
“Speaking from experience, pal?”
asked his barnstorming chum,
“Sure! I approached the clerk of the
Red Dog inn and told him actors de¬
served special terms.”
“Ah, indeed! And what did he say?”
"He said yes, they deserved six
month terms in the county work
house.”—Chicago News.
No Fiction.
It was a clerk in a Detroit bookstore
of whom a prim matron demanded a
book for her son. “No fiction, nlaasa.”
THE PELHAM JOURNAL, FRIDAY,NOV. 27, 1908
sue explained, “but absolute, literal
truth, without unnecessary Verbiage oiy
absurdly fanciful pictures.” ✓
“Well, madam”— The booksgfier
paused, his eye running oxyf his
shelves; then, with a flash of inspira¬
tion, he took down a volume. “I
should think this might meet your re¬
quirements,” he said, and he bandied
her a popular geometry.
Feminine Fortitude.
Comparisons of the relative fortitude
of men and womei) are idle as odious.
Parallel lines never .Heet, as we all
know. Still, no man ever yet smiled
with the toothache, while women have
been known to manifest continued
gayety under the trying combination
of new shoes, a violent headache and
a pin sticking straight into the shiver¬
ing spine.—Exchange.
One Way to Pay.
Patient—Your bill of 100 marks for
visits and 00 marks for medicines is
high, doctor, but I’ve arranged to set¬
tle. I’ll pay the 00 marks for the med¬
icines, and I'll return all your visits.—
Fliegende Blatter.
“I want to come home,” wrote the
Billville youth from Texas. “I’ve done
quit playin’ the devil,”
The old lady replied, “Kf that’s the
case come on, quick, an’ tell yer dad¬
dy how to quit, as he’s still a-playia’
of it an’ raisin’ of the place whar the
devil lives at.”—Atlanta Constitution.
Too Well Imitated,
It Is no easy matter for a violin mak¬
er to rival the famous Stradivarius in¬
struments, but this an American maker
did, and did so effectively that experts
pronounced his violin a genuine Stradi
varius.
The successful man was the late
George Gemunder, a famous violin
maker of New York. His remarkable
ability as a preparer of violins was
known to many a distinguished player,
such as Ole Bull, ltemenyi and Wil
helmj. But he made, so runs the story,
his greatest success at the Paris expo¬
sition of Eiffel tower fame. To that ex¬
hibition he sent an imitation Stradiva¬
rius and to test its merits had It placed
on exhibition as the genuine article.
A committee of experts carefully ex¬
amined the instrument and pronounced
it a Stradivarius. So far Mr. Gemun
uer's triumph was complete. But now
came a diSfeulty. When he claimed
that it was not an old violin, but a new
one made by himself, the committee
would not believe him. They declared
he never made the instrument and pro¬
nounced him an impostor. He had
done his work too well.
