THE REAL ISSUE.
There nrc two issues, after nil,
Abovi the onm that speech may call
Or wisdom utter;
! Two issues that with me and you
! Are most important -and the two
Are bread and 1,utter.
Let periotic banners wave.
Let economic speakers rave;
Tis not potential
That Art proclaim or Music sins?,
The Loaf is, after all. the thing
That's most essential.
Truth s* eks some broader meeting place
For breed or clan or tribe or race.
For saint and sinner;
But after all the noise and fuss
The issue paramount with us
Is—What for dinner?
New theories we maj i volve,
Did governments we may dissolve.
New flags float o'er us.
And Truth max search and Wisdom thlrk,
■s; i 11 tliesi two planks of meat and drink
Are yet before us.
So let contention hotly wage.
And let the wars of logic rage
In discourse fretted;
When all the clamor is complete
The issue still is what to eat —
And how to get it!
—N. V Times.

Gave Up Art
r tv
☆☆☆☆☆☆
J YOU don’t know why Angelo
Jones gave up art,” said the doc
tor. after contributing three smoke
rings to the rathskeller haze. “Well, ii
was a mean game of the old man’s—one
of thase shrewd, brutal schemes that
only a hardened stock operator would be
callous enough to think of or execute.
“You know old Midas Jones never took
kindly to the idea of the young cub be
coming a painter—’daubing for a living’
he used to call it. But he had never been
tocurto: ed to exercise any authority or
even influence over his children. His
was a busy life, keeping, up the house
and the yacht and the \ilh. and the style
generally. The children and the serv
ants were left to metlane. She was a
vapory thing who lived under the de
lusion that she had a soul. The girls ai1
to»k after dad. They got away from her
and became golfers. But Angelo was
mamma’s boy; he thought he had a soul,
too. and his mother encouraged him to
spread it out in oils.
"The old man cussed and threatened
and ridiculed, but. naturally, the more
earnest he grew the more convinced the
soul contingent became that it was their
duty to stick out against hint. And they
did. Angelo rigged up a studio cozy
corner style, in the top floor front of the
old Fifth avenue barrack, entered at the
Academy of Design, bought a velvet coat
and an objectionable pipe, let his hair
grow lupg and joined an evening life
class.
"This is wrhere old Bamburg came in.
You knew Bamburg. You knew his
seedy coat and his collar, which he al
; ways wore once too often, his dusty veil
I of long hair, ills thin, leathery face, his
I sunken eye and his peony nose. Maybe
; you don’t know, however, that he had a
I touch of genius in him—genius gone
wrong.
"It's a very sad story. He was a bach
elor. They «ay he was very hard hit In
a love affair and let go his hold on hope.
I don't know about the love affair, bit*
it’s all true about the hope end of it. He
was one ol t hose men who are marked for
failure. It was no fault of his. He
worked. He got his pictures shown. He
sold a good many. But he never had any
business instinct. He never seented to
get ahead of the game. He was always
lighting poverty and debt. He was often
in actual want.
r>
"After awn lie the struggle wore hinv
! out. Discouragement crushed him and
! he became the dealers' hack he was when
he died.
“Yet he was a tpost charming fellow.
I remember one New Year’s eve he cam*
to my office. I was a bachelor then and
ireseribed in the back parlor of a fur
nished room house. He asked me if l
had some hot water and 1 said 1 had a
ras stove and a kettle. Then he hauled
out of one pocket of his long rusty over
coat two beautiful eggs and out of tin
other a bottle of bourbon whisky. 1
borrowed a tumbler of milk from the
landlady and he brewed egg-nogg. He
1 and led the vessels and the ingredients
so tenderly that it almost brought tears
;o my eyes to see him do it.
"1 wondered what the meaning of the
treat was and 1 wasn’t much wiser when
he told me that it was through me that
he had just made $2»0. He didn’t seem
inclined to explain ' 1 wonder
vaguely whether h< 1 r ;
for a model in some i *
He put the subject out u. my in;, u.
beginning to talk about art, and when
; he talked about art no one could do any
thing bm listen.
"1 found out later how I had helped
him. it was his last flicker of good luck,
by the way. About a month earlier, as
I recall. 1 had advised him to take some
| >f his work to Midas Jones, whom in
! had met often in the days when his ca
j reer seemed full of promise, and who,
| besides being really a good-hearted man.
was always vain of his reputation as a
picture buyer. You should have seen
ome of the pictures he bought.
1 “Well, alter hesitating for nearly a
month, old Hamburg at last found him
self in a despt rate hole. Extremity gast
him courage. He tucked a couple of nis
i sketches under his arm and walked
down to Wall street—literally. I hav'1
seen the things many a time since. They
are exquisite. They are actually in
spired. I believe they are the best, work
old Bam ever did.
“The office-boy eyed him askance and
consulted a typewriter. The young wom
an passed the problem up to Jones’ pri
vate secretary. The private secretary
sized up the very shabby gentleman, the
shapeless, soft felt hat, the long, rusty
overcoat, the gloveless hands, blue with
2old, clasping the pictures tied face to
face. But when he exchanged a few
words with the queer visitor he decided
to take in his name. He came back with
a surprised face and ushered Hamburg
into the mahogany and leather sanc
tuary of ’The Boss.’
" ‘Good-morning, Mr. Jones,’ said
Bamburg. deprecatingly.
’’ ‘Good-morning, Mr. Bamburg,’ re
joined Jones, right cheerily.
’’ ’Mr. Jones,’ went on Bamburg, al
most aggressively, ‘i am in need of motl
ey. Perhaps 1 need nardly tell you so.
You have money. I. however, have
genius, and t have projected upon these
canvases no insignificant part oi tin be. t
that is in me.’ He tapped his lu...« ... -t
upon his forehead ami then o.u .its
heart.
“ ‘Now, sir, the proposition U tn:s:
Will 3 on exchange a little ot your
money for these efforts of my art? I
will not. sir. condescend to appraise
these children of my genius in collars.
I will take whatever you choose to
give.’
"He had stood them on the seats of
two chairs, leaning against the backs
and turned into favorable lights. He
picked them up one after the other and
held them before Jones, contemplating
them himself also with glances that
lingered like caresses.
"Jones was no fool. He knew enough
even about pictures to feel that the
things were wonders. The broken man
of genius moved him. too. He sat dow n
and wrote a check and passed it across
the table. Hamburg looked at it and
tool; it like a gentleman and an artist.
It was for $200, a iortune to him; he
had expected perhaps $.'>n at the most—
he had long been in the hands of deal
ers. All he said was ’Thank you, Mr.
Jones.’ but as he said it. it was enough.
"in the moment w hen he turned to go
the scheme of cunning and essential bru
tality flashed into the brain of Midas
Jones.
"Jones had been studying him across
the table. He had taken in the high,
w rinkled forehead, the sunken, smolder
ing eye. the peony nose, the thin, leath
ery cheeks, the dusty hair, the thin
beard, the stooped. . mai iated figure,
the hands still blue trom the cold, the
shapeless hat on the table by him. the
long, rusty overcoat ami the collar worn
once too often. He had an inspiration.
" ‘Would you do me a favor, Mr. Barn
burg?’ he asked.
"Hamburg would be delighted.
“ ‘I will ask you,’ Jones went on. ’to
go direct from this office to my house
on Fifth avenue and present these pic
tures. with a line which I will write,
to my son. I intend them to be his
Christmas present, and 1 think it will
—ahem—add to the value of the gift if
I at the same time make him acquainted
with the artist whose admirable skill
produced them. He thinks of being an
artist, too.’
“In the simplicity of his heart. Ham
burg delivered the letter and the pic
tures to Angelo in person. Angelo
showed me the letter later. It was
only a word or two. something like
this:
"‘My Dear Boy; 1 send you these
pictures because 1 believe they are won
lerfully good. I desire to have you
make the acquaintance, too. of Mr. Ham
burg. who painted them. Your fond old
lad. M. J.’
“Angelo, being the son of a stock
>roker and a woman who nourished the
lelusion that she had a soul, took the
esson. I believe, however, he is still
• t arti i on a falling market.”—N. Y.

CUBANS PITY AMERICANS

“I'- nest.” said a Cuban doing business
in ower Broadway banking house, to
