jventh Hour Work
In
LANDSEERS SPURTS
The sterpiece the Great Painter
Pro jd In a Few Hours Remark
able scords Made by Some of the
Fam s Masters of Music
Somt astounding feats in eleventh
hour v ork especially in the musical
and artistic branches have been
achieved by the great artists of the
world
Sir Edwin Landseer had promised a
picture for the spring exhibition of
the British institution in lS4o but on
the day before the exhibition was to
be opened all the hanging committee
had received was an empty frame
which was duly hung in the position
of honor
As the prospect of receiving a pic
ture for the frame seemed to the com
mittee to be slight a member thereof
went to see the artist He found
Landseer standing in front of a bare
canvas
Thats the picture I promised said
the great man pointing to the canvas
I have not touched it yet but I will
send it to the Institution tonight
And he was as good as his word A
few hours later the completed picture
was delivered and may be seen today
in the National gallery This wonder
ful work of half a dozen hours was
none other than the universally ad
mired Cavaliers Pets
Leander the famous painter Is ca
pable of remarkably rapid work Upon
seeing him leave his rooms early in
the morning with a canvas on his
back the neighbors of the great artist
used to exclaim There goes Leander
off to paint his daily picture Al
though this may have been an exag
geration it is a well known fact that
on several occasions the academician
produced a large picture within a few
hours
Leander has a formidable rival in
the matter of hasty work in Solomon
Solomon This artist painted an ad
mirable life size portrait of Israel
Zangwill within the period of five
hours
In the realm of music there may be
cited many instances of extraordinarily
quick work Oscar nammersteins
record of a comic opera in one act
words and music composed in one
night is an example
One of the most remarkable bits of
orchestration ever written the over
ture to Otello was scored by Rossini
In only twenty four hours
Sir Arthur Sullivan composed the
brilliant epilogue of the Golden Leg
end in the same space of time He
sat down at 9 oclock one evening to
compose the overture to Iolanthe
and did not rise from his desk until
the last note was written at 7 on the
following morning while the overture
to The Yeoman of the Guard occu
pied him no more than twelve hours
both to compose and score
It is told of Donizetti that he wrote
the Instrumentation of an entire opera
within thirty hours On the morning
in which Rossinis Gazza Ladra was
to be produced not a single note of the
overture had been written and the
manager was in despair Ho sought
out the indolent composer locked him
in one of the rooms of La Scala and
declared he should have neither food
nor freedom until the overture was
completed Rossini set to work with a
will and to such purpose that the
music was written and rehearsed be
fore the evening performance
Mozart was another genius who fre
quently needed the spur of eleventh
hour work Tbougb at 1 in the morn
ing not a nore of the overture to Don
Giovanni had been set down yet Mo
zart finished it before he went to the
breakfast table at his usual hour Dur
ing the long hours consumed by this
task it is said that the musicans wife
kept him awake by reading fairy
stories to him
One of the fastest composers that
ever lived was Trotere the writer of
songs Some of the composers feats
verge on the marvelous It is said for
example that he actually wrote the
score of In Old Madrid and had
dropped it into the letter box within
eight minutes of the time he had taken
up his pen This would be remarkable
merely as showing his dexterity and
agility to say nothing of the -labor of
the composition itself
One of Schuberts friends tells a
story indicating that composers ra
pidity of workmanship He had left
Schubert absorbed in Goethes ballad
The Erl King On his return in a few
minutes he found the musician swift
ly putting on paper the notes inspired
by the poem and within an hour there
had been composed that great song the
world has admired ever since Edwin
Tarrisse in Chicago Tribune
Deep but Dry
Lincoln himself a superb writer
said a college professor could not
stand tedious writing in others He
once condemned for its tediousness a
Greek history whereupon a diplomat
took him to task
The author of that history Mr
President said the diplomat is one
of the profoundest scholars of the age
Indeed it may be doubted whether any
man of our generation has plunged
more deeply in the sacred fount of
learning
Yes or come up drier said Lin

A STUDY OF NAPOLEON
Mental Changes of the Fiery Corsican
Shown by His Chirography
Interesting and exhaustive studies
have been made in France of Na
poleons chirography When a young
man Napoleon did not have a bad
hand although like some other great
men he could never learn to spell
When he was au artillery officer his
writing was simple and legible as his
life was simple and direct But when
the Corsican Captain Bonaparte dis
tinguished himself at the siege of Tou
lon and became the French General
Bonaparte his writing took on what
has been called a furious illegibility
Curiously enough from that time
there seems to have been a gradual
degeneration until profoundly discour
aged and utterly humiliated he
scratched an undecipherable mis
spelled scrawl of submission to the
prince regent on July 14 1S13
It is said that this change from a
simple to a confused writing began at
a certain date namely with a report
skillfully garbled of the part he took
in what Carlyle called the vrhiff of
grapeshot that spoke from the steps of
St Roch on the 13th Vendemaire
Oct 5 1793
The culminating eccentricity of his
tortuous strokes of the pen was exhib
ited in the letter P This showed plain
ly the mental changes of the man who
would unhesitatingly declare war
against the first comer who would di
vorce the wife he loved who would
propose a kingdom of Haiti for Louis
XVIII who would freeze nearly a
million men upon the steppes of Rus
sia This letter P became of strange
and abnormal form It was excessive
ly developed For twenty years the
great general used this extravagant
and according to the investigators ac
cusing letter especially noticeable in
his later unroyal signature NP Har

FORETOLD BY DREAMS
Two Remarkable Cases In Which Sleep
Warnings Came True
I dreamed that the ship was In a
heavy sea that a big wave came over
her bows pressed down upon her
and then she rolled over on her star
board side and disappeared
This is not an extract from a story
It Is evidence given on oath during
the inquiry at London into the mys
terious disappearance of the Waratah
the vessel which on her second voy
age mysteriously disappeared in July
1909 and has never been heard of
since And so Impressed was the pas
senger with the vision that he left the
vessel at Durban from which point
she continued on her ill fated voyage
Thus one more was added to the ex
traordinary coincidences in which
dreams have figured
The third Lord Waterford was able
to verify a story of an extraordinary
dream coming true Talking one day
with the landlord of the inn In the vil
lage close to Curraghmore a man
rushed up and said there had been a
murder on the hills Then it must be
the little one said the landlord at
which Lord Waterford not unnatural
ly became very suspicious The land
lord proceeded to explain that in the
night he dreamed that two men had
come to the inn and that the taller of
the two had murdered the shorter
with a very curious knife
He told his dream to his wife who
laughed at him But to his horror
the men he had seen while asleep
came to the inn and one used the curi
ous knife to cut up his food They
left and soon afterward news of the
murder arrived Search was made for
a tall man answering to the landlords
description and one was quickly ar
rested In prison he confessed he had
murdered his short companion Pear

The Cowboys Handkerchief
Have you ever wondered why the
cowboy pictures by painters who have
made a study of western life depict
the man of the plains with his red
bandanna halfway down on his chest
instead of fitting snugly around his
neck queried a ranch owner of Cali
fornia
Ill tell you When a cowboy starts
on a long ride over the plains one of
his principal annoyances is having to
wipe dust from his eyes His heavy
gauntlets make it impossible to use
his hands and be ties his handkerchief
loosely around his neck and when
occasion requires uses it to clear his
eyes It is the most convenient place
to carry the handkerchief while riding
a horse Washington Post

HAD A HARD SKULL
The Baseball Catcher Who Was the
Original Bonehead
Ed Ashenback for many years a
manager of minor league teams in
his book Humor Among the Minors
claims to be the originator of the ex
pression bonehead which is now
with its synonymous terms of solid
ivory mahogany bean concrete
dome and cement skull so common
in baseball
Ashenback says that when he was
managing the Shreveport team of the
Southern league some years ago he
had a catcher who could hit some
but who had the very serious weak
ness of not being able to gauge a foul
ball no matter how easy It was
One day a batter raised a high foul
directly over the plate and the catch
er misjudging It was hit squarely on
top of the head by the descending
sphere which knocked off his mask
and bounded away some thirty feet
That night Ashenback finished his
supper early and wa3 passing out of
the dining room when he happened to
walk behind this catcher who was de
vouring his evening meal with gustc
and enthusiasm Stopping at the ta
ble Ed passed his hands over the
backstops head feeling for the bump
which he thought would surely be
there on account of the contact with
the ball that afternoon But there
was no lump to be felt No wonder

bump Your head is solid bone
FOX HUNTING IN ENGLAND
It Is More Than a Sport It Is a Sort
of Religion
In England sport is not only a reli
gion it is the religion If a man is a
good sportsman he need not be any
thing else It may seem hyperbolical
to describe fox hunting as a religion
and the fox as a deity but it is a bare
bald exactitude The true fox hunt
ing sportsman exhibits all the attri
butes of the devotee the fanatic the
martyr He is ready to die for his
faith I am sure he would cheerfully
allow himself to be burned alive rath
er than hunt a bag of aniseed His
friends would cut him dead if they
suspected him of treason to the pure
ideal of fox hunting His clubs would
refrigerate him He would be a mark
ed man He would be a pariah an
outcast a bounder an outsider
The power of the caste of fox hunt
ers is as formidable as the power of
the various Indian castes It is a
mightier engine than the law for it Is
driven by public opinion The county
would ostracize the wretch caught In
the act of violating the fox hunting
code His career would be ended
Never more could he hold up his head
He would be a leper The taint of
aniseed would hang about him for
ever James Douglass in London
