Aubrey Beardsley, tho young gentle
man who has set the ait world afire by
his strange pictures, may come to this
country shortly. It is not a sottlci fact
yet, but American artists are hoping for
his arrival just as eagerly as tbe dudes
are wishing for the appearance of the
Prince ol Wales at the coming inter
national yacht races. If the prince comes
Aubrey may aeign to tear himself away
from England and the adoration which
is being showored upon him and seek
new fields to conquer.
There is some question about the dc*
gree of fervid praise which will be be
stowed upon Mr. Beardsley should ho
come here. Some artists "have already
declared his work to be the veriest kind
of rot. One well known critic says tbat
Solid Tom Reed
it possesses one commendable feature
»nd that is it draws a rigid line between
Drue art and false art, fringing heavily
Upon tho latter.
What would happen to the public men
awl women of the country should Mr.
Behrasley come here and picture them
in his own peculiar way is somewhat
difficult to imagine. They migut know
tbeaiselves and they might not. It is
ccrttiin they would have some difficulty
In recalling the strange bits of ornanien
iation with whicbMr. Haardsley strews
\\i pictures without stint or favor.
There is our own Chauncey M. Depew.
for instance. If Mr. Beardsley heard
and saw him making au after-dinner
speech his picture of the occasion would
look something line that produced heie,
Mr. Depew's classic face and neat side
whiskers offer v fertile Held for the gentle
curves of tho Beardsley school. His nrs'
might ti If or and might not be lecognized
at first signt, even by his ndmnhle secre
tary. Mr. Dv Val. but the, aacriit.ee of a
noso is a small matter when the great
qu-'stion of art is at slake.
The lovely designs i.t 'the sides and
Dr. Parkhurst and the Copper
background of the picture are not vege
tables offered by an enthusiastic audi
ence, but are copies of some of Mr.
Beardsley's works. They look liko onions
or healthy apples, but this is a mistake.
No one knows what they are, perhaps
not even Mr Beardsley himself.
Suppose the latter should take up that
glowing subject, Mr. McKinley of Ohio,
in the white heat of his preliminary race
ior presidential honors. Mr. Beardsley
loves to picture folks in some quiet pas
toral scene, leaning peihaps against a
garden gate, with a curious looking hill
in the background, on which browse
strange varieties of cattle and sheep un
heard of in agricultural works..
Mr. McKlniey's striking resemblanco to
Napoleon would offer a rich held for work.
What tragic poses he could bo placeu in
and what grand opportunities would [ire
sent themselves for the introduction o
dainty curves. The cow looking sorrow-
fir. Depew's Curves
fully at Mr. McKinley is a real, plain
'Beardsley cow. So is the one in the dis
tance wibch appears somewhat tangled
up. But that is all right, because it is
art striotly up to date.
Dr. Charlea 11. Parkntinrt and the pn.
lice of the city of Now York in their pres
ent excitable state could be made to do
extraordinary tnings under the pen of the
Beardsley. Perhaps the latter "has heard
of them both, and something like that,
pictured here may come from his own
untrammelled hand.
Tben there is the Hon. James J. Cor
bett, famous in a certain walk of art. ilow
his upperouts, right-hand swings, bony
blows. Infighting, left-hand jabs, half-arm
blows, or the pivot twirl, it would appear,
can be gathered from the accompanying
picture. Mr. Corbett is pictured in a
dainty posture knocking out an oppo
nent, but looking more as if he were lan*
guidiy offering a bouquet to some dear
friend.
The gentleman down on the floor is
the center of much artistic action. It
seems as if ho were making a desper
ate effort to get back at Mr. Corbett with
all of the above-named blows at one and
tho same time, but is somewhat tangled
up in the broad scopo of his desires. Mr.
Reed of Main, just at the present, when
the presidential bee is singing his merry
lay under so many hats, is quito an in-
Artistic ITr. Corbett
teresting personage, but he lacks the pic
turesque qualities of tho others. Ponder
ous ornamentation would have to be
drawn in. as has been done in the pres
ent case, to give him a tiniro of the light
airy coloring of the Beardsley picture.
It would he almost cruel to depict the
result should the pen of Beardsley dally
with the dignified persons of Mr. Cleve
land or Mr. Harrison. But art is no re
specter of persons and if the predicted
visit should be'eomo a reality no one
knows to what extent tho famous curves
and splotches of black and white will in
volve theso two gentlemen.
The gold bug of the east and the silver
ite of the west would also have more
than a melancholy interest for the young
Englishman, for a visit to this country
would have only one object, and tiiat
would be a pursuit ot the good, old-fash
ioned American dollar. The whiskers ot
the Populist would bo made to look won
derful things if caught in tho meshes of
tbe Beardsley curves, and the hurricane
of art that would assail them might do
something toward settling tho vexed cur
rency question.
Now York society would also look
strange things. John Jacob Astor and
his $1700 uniform, purchased when Gov
ernor Morton conferred the title of colo
nel upon him, would be made to look a
fine military personage with the aia of
some of the new style frescoes.
Mrs. Van Rensselaer Cruger on her bi-
McKinley in a Pensive Scene
cycle would be a stunning picture, al
though the fact that she recently fell oft
and fractured her lee, makes the subject a
melancholy one just at present. Mr.
Beardsley is at his best, however, when
doieful countenances are to be pictured,
and if a tew tears aro to be thrown in his
delight is ecstatic.
The sleeping but still vigilant Tam
many tiger will soon be howling in the
beat of the campaign, willing now to pick
up tbe crumbs from the reform table, but
soon in the vigor of recuperated strength
he will he ready to swallow table, reform
ers aud all. This should make a picture
fit to be hung in the city hall as a con
stant warning against pitying or rejuven
ating the tiger.
You may be queer, Aubrey, but come
on! There are lots of fine subjects in this
country, und it will extend to you the
right hand of lellowsihp.

Cliaucer's Advice.
[Written about 1300. Modernized 1802.]
Fly thou the crowd and live in honesty.
Hourding breeds hate. Who climbs must
risk a fall.
Ambition feedeth envy. lio thou be
Content with what Is thine, though it be
small,
Not craving all thou seest. Wealth dazzles
all.
Watch thine own steps, thou so alert to see
Another's slip, nnd truth shall make thee free.
Strive not in vain tho crooked to make straight,
But trust to time, that bringoth round tho
right-
There is much peaco for him who learns to
wait.
Nor idly rages 'gainst o'erwhelniing might,
But bides the law that justly doth requite.
Judge thino own deeds us others—thou shalt
see
Beyond all doubt tho truth shall make thco
free.
Receive with cheorfulness whate'er is sent.
Who wrestles with the world must catch a
fall.
This earthly lifo for no long homo is meant.
'Tis but a pilgrimage. Forth, beast, from
stall;
Look up on high and thank the Lord of all..
Conquer thyself, thy conscience ruling thee,
Aud never doubt that truth shall muko thee
free.

However strong and skilled art thou, ray foe,
However tierce is thy relentless hate,
Though arm thy hand aud suro thy aim and

Thy poisoned arrows leave the bonded bow
To pierce the target of my heart, ah, know
1 am the master yet of my own fate.
Thou canst not rob me of my chief estate,
Though fortune, fame and frionds—yea, love
shall go.
Not to the dust shall my true self be hurled,
Nor shall 1 meet thy worst assaults dismayed.
When all things in the balance aro well
weighed.
There is but one groat danger in tho world.
Thou canst notforco my soul to wish thee ill-
There only lice tho evil that cun kill.
To Give or to Take.
I hold him great who for love's sake
Can give with generous, earnest will.
Yet he who takes for love's sweet sake
1 think I hold more generous still.
I bow before tho noblo mind
That freely some great wrong forgives.
Yet nobler is the one forgiven
Who bears that burden well and lives.

THE UPS AND
DOWNS IN LIFE
Startling Changes in Pur=
suits Shown by a Very
Unique Collection
FREDERIC R. COUDERT'S FAD
From tbe Forecastle of Fred Vanderbilt's
~ Yacht to a Studio--A Society Belle
Turns Indian Squaw
One of these days a strange book may
be thrust before the public gaze from tho
pen of I'rederio B. Coudert. It will
havo nothing to do with the Bering Sea
commission, nor witli any of the varied
nijeties of litigation, subjects which Mr.
Coudert's masterly knowledge could make
fine reading for lovers of weighty litera
ture.
In all probability the book will never
be written, but it will not be tor lack of
interesting material. Mr. Coudert has
been collecting it for the past thirty
years. Ho hasn't any name for the col
lection. It is simply a colossal aggrega
tion of facts concerning strange changes
Llon Taming to Toy .Taking
in the careers of men, and it offers
abundant opportunity for psychological
speculation. Mr. Coudert devotes a small
portion of each day to his unique col
lection. Many of his tiiends know of his
strange fad, and whenever they hear of
any astonishing fact relating to the sub
ject, they collect tne data and forward it
to him.
The collection shows many curious
things—men who have abandrned high
and remunerative callings to follow some
ordinary pursuit, and men who started
at common drudgery and by a whim of
Dame Fortune wore wafted into the lap
of luxury.
For instance, one of the oddities of the
collection tells about a reputablo lawyer
of twenty years' stading in the metropo
lis wbognveup his practice a year ago and
is now celling patent medicines on the
road. He is not making much of a suc
cess at it, but likes the peculiar excite
ment of tne life.
A man who followed tho sea for thirty
two years, and who worked up irom the
bum bio position of cabin hoy to first
mate of a line ship, suddenly gave up
tne work and is now a quiet, bum-drum
book seller on Fourth avenue. It had
Ballroom to Wigwam
been tho dream of his lifo to be the first
officer of a great shin and os soon ns he
reached that position he abandoned it.
A Brooklyn drygoods clerk, who meas
ured out cloth from 8 in the morning
until t! in the evening for nine years, is
now a successful sworu swallower in
dime museums. To set this off, the
human pincushion of some fame six
years ago, is now a reporter on a New
York paper.
Aside from the queer elm,i.os in life of
unknown people the collection includes
those of well-known persons all over the
land. It has the little story of Jay
Oould, who peddled mouse traps and
died worth *72,<X0,U00. Also of John J.
Starin, who sold patent horse medicine to
tbe fanners oi the Mohawk valley and
is now supposed to be worth 120,000,000,
A man who was known all over the
country as a tamer of wild beasts, partic
ularly lions, dropped out of sight for
some time, and was only recently discov
ered as a maker and seller of toys. 11 o
had grown weary of the excitement of his
occupation, and Doing n great lover of
children, decided to beconio a dealer in
toys. He had saved enough money at
taming lions to be almost independent,
but he fancies tho work ol making toys
and ho does it more for pleasure than
gain.
An unusually devout Baptist, widely
known in religious circles as a mission
ary in Airica. returned to this country
a year ago for a rest, anil is now working
his way up on the stage. He is a good
actor, and recently secured a fair position
in one of tlie first-class stock companies
of this city.
Horse taming is a peculiar business, as
shown by the collection. An Australian
bank messenger, during th? past five
years, has made a fortune at horao tam
ing. Another horse tamer widely known
to Aniericen audiences is now l:ving qui
eily and peacefully in the ancient town
of Leamington, England, engaged in tho
manufacture of labor-? V ng machinery
for farmers. He is hi lldling un a gteat
fortune at the latter ) ur uif..
Eccentricity of th sp .ul ar kind is not
confined to the masculine gender by any
means. The daughter of a bank president
in New York is one of the shining lights
of the Salvation arm), contributing all of
her time and all of her great fortune to
the work. She pitches right in for the
evangelical work, and makes tho rounds
of the slums liko any ordinary balvation
lass.
Another girl, cultured and refined, ran
away from a luxurious home and dressed
up as an Indian squaw and sold medicine
from a wagon. She is now the proprie
tress of a Shouting gallery, and lines the
life so well thatall overtures from her
family fur v return to the parental roof
haTe met. vfith determined refusals. An
other young lady who made quite a name
for herself as a writer of line fiction sud
denly whirled into tho financial held.and
now'occupies the position of financial ed
itor of a well-known commercial paper.
Lillian Kussel had an Indian coachman
a few years ago. lie became imbued
with the histrionic fever ana is now tour
ing the country towns in the title role of
Uncle Tom s cabin.
Tbe bass viol player of an orcehstra is
now an actor, and in old man parts he has
won a reputation second to none.
Warner Miller, ex-senator and head of
the Nicaragua canal project, was onco a
chore boy around a country mill.
Sir William Van Home, president of
ths Canadian Pacific railway, not so very
many years ago occupied a subordinate
position on the Chicago, Milwaukee and
St. Paul railroad. He was knighted by
the queen because of his service in the
construction of the great railway system.
From a poor American boy employed by
a western railroad to the English peerage
is quite a jump.
John H. Inman, railroad magnate and
cotton king, was a mountaineer in the
lugged bills of East Tennessee.
A nobieman attached to tho court of
Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, and
exiled because of some ugly scandal, is
now a bookkeeper in a Broadway im
porting house at $1) a woeK.
Another nobleman, who gambled and
frittered away his fortune und the re
spect of Ins fa.niy, worked for some time
as interpreter at Ellis Island, and looked
out for the wants of the immigrants. He
always wore a scarlet wsaistcoat. Os an
emblem of the faded gloiies, and overy
once in a wliile would challenge some of
his fellow-employees to show his high
breeding.
A jjekey who grew too heavy to ride
is now employed"by a large tract society.
A man famous a few years ago as a
plunger in Wall street is now earning
■t22 a week ns cashier in an uptown hotel
rtstaurant. He says ho is saving some
money now.
A former prize fie liter now conducts a
fl/Tists' establishment on Broadway, and
has displayed no littie ingenuity in flora!
decorative work. He secures many rich
contracts from fashionable people, and
besides has a gonuinc love for his dainty
v ares.
A bank burglar, notorious twenty odd
years ago. and known to all police offi
cials oh both sides of the Atlantic, is
now connected with a cosmetic establish
ment keeping books and collecting bills
from tho ladies who have been bcautfiied.
He regularly attendschurch, and until re
cently sang in the choir.
An aeronaut, wearied cf touring the
clouds, is now a manufacturer of varnish
on Pearl street. Ho is regarded as a safe'
and conservative business man by his as
sociates.
Here is a strange change. An artist
who was rapidly building up a compe
tence at portrait work, closed his studio
one day without warning his friends, and
took up the business of training race
horses. He was a Kentuckian by birth
and had been reared in the thoroughbred
section of tho state. Thousands of dol
lars had been spent upon his education
by foreign masters, nnd just when he
realize the hup is and cxpecta-
Fo'castle to Studio
tions of his friends, he gave up every
thing for the pleasure of being in the
company of line horses.
A Brooklyn man who had studied for the
priesthood and was just about to take or
ders, relinquished the idea and opened a
butcher shop on Court stteet He is a
finely developed mini, but he wears a
white apron and cuts up meat from 0 in
the morning until 8 in the evening, and
has never been heard to complain about
the life. When ho made the sudden
change he feared hat he bad contracted
consumption from over study a' I a gen
eral wrecking of tbe system orought
about by the confinement and hard work.
Ho took matters into his own ban Is
and decided that a butcher shop was the
best place for a man with weak lungs.
There may be something in his idea, for
today ho is fat and strong, and looks as
if he would live for more than the allotted
threescore and ten.

SLY FUN AT
WEST POINT
It's Against Regulations
But Cadets Raise Old
Nick Sometimes
EDGAR ALLEN POE A CADET
But He Was Not as Much a Success
as Soldier Student as Poet-A
Fire Tbat "Old Vets" Could
Not Stand
When destiny, or whatever it is that
prompts one to a line of action, started
Edgar Allen Poe writing, it made a good
poet out of a bad soldier. He was a ca
det at West Point iv the early thirteis,
There are probably moro traditions of
Pee's cadetship at tlie academy than that
of any other student, no matter how high
he may have risen in the service of his
countiy. There is jealously preserved at
the government school the first poem
that Edgar Allen Poe is known to have
written. It is a far cry from that baity
four-line verse to the noblo rythm of The
Haven, but crude though the first effort
be, it lacks not in wit nor in promise.
Poe was constantly in trouble with the
authorities. He hail no love for disci
pline and his breaches of the black book's
regulations were many and not far be
tween. He ran tho risk of dismissal time
after time by fracturing rules for which
dismissal was the penally. He kept bis
hold on his place, though, for two years,
simply because ho was lucky enough not
to bo caught—"hived" tno caaets call it
—at offenses for which ho would have
been brought to trial by court martial.
Poets are rarely good mathematicians,
but Poe managed to ligure out, after the
observation of a month or so, just when
there was likely to be an inspection of
barracks between taps and reveille. If
he came to the conclusion that on any
particular night the olilcer of the day
with his dark lantern was not going
through the cadets' quarters on a search
for empty beds, he wouid quietly steal
out, strike the road that skirts the base of
old Fort Putnam, and in a half hour's
time he would be in the famous old re
sort of Denny Havens at Buttermilk
Falls. Benny served poor punch and
rare old stories. For fifty years he held
his own and defied tho authorities. More
cadets, probably, were dismissed for vis
iting Benny's place than for any other
one cause, barring deficiency in studies.
There is perhaps not an officer in the
army whose graduation dates back thirty
years who can place hand on sword hilt
and swear that he never drank Benny
Havens' punch. Between Poe and the old
tavern-keeper there was the greatest
friendship. The poet could cover both
sides of Benny's slate, and then tlie whole
thing would be sponged off and a fresh
start, made.
While Poe was not caught for a long
time at anything for which he might be
dismissed, he was piling up demerit
marks at the gait.of a cavalry charge. It
was this fact that led to the lirst attempt
at rhyme. There was an instructor of
tactics at tho academy named Joseph
Lock. He reported Poe on any and all
occasions when there was a snow of rea
son, and in truth there was generally an
abundance of it. When the delinquency
list was read after parade Poe's name al
ways led all the rest. The cadet went
over to the library one .Sunday, and read
John Locke's ess ly on the Human Un
dorstandiiug. A duy or two atterward
there was circulated through the barracks
this quatrain-in Edgar Allen Poe's hand
writing, and apropos of the censtant re
ports whicii the author was receiving
from Instructor Joseph Lock:
"John Locke was a great name,
Joe Look was a greater in short;
The former is well known to fame.
The latter well known to report."
Poo later scratclio 1 this into a window
class with a glazier's diamond, and the
pane and its poem aro treasured today.
Lieut.-Gen. John M. Schotield will
shortly retire from his postiion as rank
ing officer of tho army. When the bat.le
of Franklin, of which Schotield was the
hero, was fought, he was for an hour or so
persoally exposed to a galling tire. He
stood it absolutely cool and with the dig
nity becoming a good soldier and an offi
cer of high rank. There was anothei fire,
and that in the proverbial piping times of
peace, to which the general was exposed
which sailly ruffled his dignity, as it did
that of other otlicers equally exposed. In
truth,there could be no question of dig
nity under the circumstances. It was
midnight, Jan. 1, 1880. General Scho
tield was superintendent of the military
academy. The class which was to gradu
ate in Juno of that year was one that was
not particularly noted for being straight
laced. Its members wished in some way
to mark the advent of their graduatng
year. The outcome of this desire was the
commission of tho greatest bleach of dis
cipline in the history of West Tout.
About twenty cadets received Christ
mas leave that year. When they came
back they left in the woods back of the
post enough fireworks to start a store.
These were taken gradually into barracks
between supper call and call to quarters.
They were distributed among all the
rooms in the building and were sewed up
in I lie cadets' mattresses. For five nights
the boys slept on slumbering volcanoes.
Ten yearling cadets were told off to go to
Trophy point under cover of darkness
a.id bring an old Mexican cannon over to
barracks. They did It unobserved, and
with tho aid of a dozen more cadets the
"Next!"
—Philnrielphirt Proafc
old brass field piece which bad not spo
ken since Monterey, was run up three
flights of stairs ami placed on the roof of
barracks. Then a party of "plebs,"
fourth class men, despoiled one ol the or
namental piles of round shot, and a half
dozen of the heavy projectiles were taken
up to the "cockloit in each division of
the barracks. After taps on the night of
Dece.nber 3Uth every old smooth-bore in
Battery Knox, nil the siege guns, and all
the heavy pieces of the seaeoast battery
commanding C'ro' Nest mountain were
doubly loaded with powder purloined by
cadets when at artillery drill. Next night,
December His,., just alter dusk, friction
primers were inserted in the vent of each
piece and lanyards were trailed. Men
were chosen by lot to lire tlie pieces at the
first stroke of midnight from tlie old
tower clock and then to make a dash for
barracks.
There was no sleep that night. The
cadets turned in at laps and lay quiet
until 11:30, Then every man was up and
moving about in his stocking feet. The
battery liring detail went to the river
front. The Mexican piece on the roof of
the First division was half tilled with
powder and a lanyard was trailed down
through the scuttle. Windows opening
to the area in the rear were raised a hit
and the sills lined with skyrockets. Ev
ery man bad half a dozen roman candles
and a hunch ot cannon crackers. Then
there was a wait.
The lirst stroke of 12 sounded from the
aoademie towers. Tne wind*' plain was
shaken with the concussion following the
roar from the river frunt. Tho old smooth
bores of Knox, the thirty-pound Parrots,
the twenty-ton giant, and the whola pea
coast battery spoke at once In less than
two minutes twenty-five tray-clad figures
dashed into the banacks. They were
back from the guns in safety. Every
door was instantly fastened and from ail I
tlie windows came streams of fire. Tha
cannonading at midnight, thunderous
and unexpected, fairly paralyzed action
for a moment on the part of the officers.
Then in the light from the barrack win
dows they could ba seen harrying across
the plain from every direction. (Jeneral
Sohoneld ran from his quarters with his ;
clothes so nastily adjusted that lie j
brought a wake of white linen with him.
The general bad just reached the sally
port when the Mexican piece on the roof
roareu out a greeting. Then down all the |
(lights of ironbound stairs were rolled
round shot by the uozon. They bounded
nnd ricocheted and made a fearful din.
Three hundred cadets were yelling like
maJ. The officers swarmed into the area
with the general at their head. From
every window came a bombardment of
Roman candles, accurately aimed anil
with time fuses nicely adusted. The
officers beat a retreat to tbe sally port.
The officers of the day ordered the en
listed drummer boys to sound long roll.
To disobey tbis call meant dismissal for
the cadets. The drummers could not
lind their drums. They had been se
creted. An attempt was made to get into
the barracKS.
The doors could not be forced. Finally
all the ammunition was gone, the drums
wera found, the long roll sounded and the
cadets fell in ranks. They tried hard to
find the ringleaders, but failed. All had
a hand in the thing and all were pun
ished by being forbidden to see friends
or to make calls at any officer's quarters,
or at the hotel for months.
