The most pathetic flguro In Journalism ,
writes J.V. . Keller in the Forum , is the man
who tins grown old In Its service. Through
uo fault of hit ho tlnila himself without a vo
cation when ho most needs' it. In nny other
business his experience would bo of value.
The accumulated knowledge of yours would
command a price commensurate with its
worth. Hero It Is valueless , because In the
llrst ten years of his journalistic career he
has mastered the art of reporting , of copy-
reading , of any routine departmental worlf ,
nnd experience showsthat celerity decreases
with agu after u certain period of years bus
been reached. Joilfnhllsiu Is essentially a
business for young moil. They rush into it
bv hundreds , they remain In it by tens.
Ninety per cent of the men who enter Jour

They remain In it only long enough to make

there is only one maurpvor 50 years of ago ,

San Francisco's public Is peculiar. It does
not care what London. Paris of Now YorK
thinks. It has Us own mind. It is a great
llrst night city. It turns out on masse , for a
iremiere. No matter what the artist's
reputation maybe throughout the world , the
ictor or musician must begin all over in San
f raucisco. A cordial reception Is given the
irtist on his entrance. Then the nuuicnco
cans hack in its chairs nnd says , "Now show
us what you c.m do. " In tun minutes an ar
tist knows whether or not ho Is to bo a suc
cess on the 1'nclllc coast. Success goes llko
an electric current through an audience , if it
goes nt all. If not , the audience remains
quiet and shuts oft Urn batteries. There is
absolutely no recovery from n first-night
falluro In San Francisco. The public is not
merciless. It is indifferent. If an artist is
a success In San Francisco ho is a great suc
cess , and there Is magic in nn enthusiastic
San Francisco audience. There is no other
comparable to it. It seems to anticipate the
artist's points. It uplifts him and makes
him do his best. In a word , n San Francisco
nuclieiieo Is irresistible. All through Cali
fornia one Hilda the same kind of public as
in Sun Francisco.
Audiences in New England towns are like
peas. They have the same outward appear
ance and yary only In size. They take tholr
amusements ns they live seriously. A Now
Knglund nudlouco is llko n concrcirution ,
deeply attentive nnd religiously inclined. If
a few giddy persons laugli aloud or applaud
enthusiastically they nro stared at nnd
frowned down. Outsltlo people who have
seen turbulent political meetings iu Now
England , when speakers have been greeted
with mingled cheers and hisses , would , bo
amazed nt Iho stolid aspect of most Now
England audiences in places of niuusement.
New Englnndors rise to great occasions
nud opiHjrtunitibi , as all thu world knows ,
but HO far us expressing outward manifesta
tions of artistic pleasure nnd gatUfiietiou is
concerned , they nro tadpoles. Most of the
audiences of Maine , Vermont und Now
Hampshire look weary nnd tired , as though
they hnd done a hard day's work on three
meals of pie. 1 have often thought n regi
men of roust beef or deviled food would
servo to improve some of the sluggish and
unrosponslvo audiences of Now England.

Itnltlmoro , the Moiiumrntnt City.
If I were to ask a bright boy or girl , fresh
from the school-book study of geography , to
toll mo what Baltimore Is famous for , I
should expect this answer : "Baltimore U
known ns the Moiiumont.nl City. " So it Is ,
but that Is only ono distinction. Neverthe

loads us , says a writer in St. Nicholas.
Baltimore has long been called the Monti-
ijicutnl City. I do not know who llrst cm-
ployed the term , nor when it came Into use ,
but as far back as ITO ! there was an obelisk
on the outskirts of the town , commemorating :
Christopher Cdlumbus. It was placed in an
obscure position on private property , and by
and by its purpose wns forgotten , so that It
cnmo to bo regarded ns a monument erected
by the owner of the property to the memory
of his favorite horso. Hecently Us history
has been published , nnd it rantcs today as

There are higher claims to the "monu
mental" epithet. In the very ho.irt of the
city , on nn eminence perhaps 100 foot nbovo
the sea level , there stands n noble marble
column , probably suggested by the well
known plllnrsof Trajan and Marcus Aurullus
In Homo , though not copied from cither of
them. It rises to a height of 100 fcnt , nud Is
surmounted by a colossal statue of George
Washington , designed by Causici- Within
the densely settled part of the city this is i
most picturesque point. "I don't want to be
out of sight of the monument , " ' a llttlo bor
was hoard to cry. as his nurse proposed to
wnool his baby carrlago somewhat farther
than usual from the corner of Mount Vernon
Place and Washington Place , where this
column stands. "I don't want to bo out of
sight of the monument" is the natural im
pulse of the true Bultimorunn. Lot him
travel as widely ns ho will , ho returns to the
Washington monument nnd all that sur
rounds It , with admiration nnd nlfoction ;
ami well ho may , for such a column , in such
a position , nnd surrounded by such dwelling
houses , churches , libraries nud works of
art , would be an ornament to Berlin or to
Paris.
Much nearer the water , close by the now
postoftlce , stands a troph 7 culled the Bnttlo
monument , because it commemorates the
victory nt North Point , where the British
wcro repulsed onthe 12thof September ,
1814. It wns by thcso structures that Balti
more gninodits name of "tho Monumental
City" long before Chnrlestown , Mass. , saw
Hie obelisk completed upon Bunker's Hill ;
long before Crawford's Impressive group was
placed in the state house grounds of Richmond -
mend , Vji. In recent years other monuments
In memory of individuals begin to appear. A
shaft in memory of Colonel Armlstend , the
commander of Fort McHcnryduriiiR its bom
bardment , stands In the southern part of the
city. The Italians have erected In the park
a statue of Columbus , nnd a generous citizen
of Scotch descent is soon to place tlicro a
statue of William Wallace. Tlio bronze

Knirrjon Hunting Doer.
Iii the August Century W. J. Stilhnati
writes of ' 'The Philosophers' Camp , " n
gathering of congenial spirits in the Adlron-
dacks in 1653 , among whom were Emerson
Lowell , Agassiz. Judge Hoar , Amos Biniioy
nnd Air. Stlllman. The writer thus de
scribes Emerson's attempts at deer slaying :
' It was interesting to see how Einorsou
grow into camp life. As ut flrst ho had re
fused to carry u rifle , nud decided to take
one only for uniformity , so in the early days
of our forest residence ho declined to take
any part in thu hunting or flshlng ; but wo
hnd not been long iu the camp before ho
caught thu temper of thu occasion , and be
gan to desire to Kill his deer. Luck failed
him in the drives in which ho took part , tha
deer always coming into some other watcher ,
nnd wo d'-cidod to try night hunting : i. o. ,
stealing i * to the deer us they browse in
tha pads along the shallow water , carrying
in the bow of the boat n light which blinds
the animal , the lantern throwing nil its light
forward and thu hunter sitting invisible in
the shadow , Wo took the best guldo at tbo
paddle , Emerson takiug the flring seat be
hind the lamp , und I in the middle with my
ritle , ready in case ho misled his shot.
"Thoro is something "weird In silently glid
ing along , a spectral diorama of it-recogniza
ble landscape , with rocks and trees slipping
by Hue phantasms ; for the motion of thn
boat is not distinguishable , and the only
sound is the occasional gratlngof the rushes
ou the bottom of the boat. It is , In fact , the
most exciting form of deer hunting for cer
tain temperaments , and Iho poet was
strongly impressed. The practiced cur of
the guldo soon caujrut the sound of the foot-
full of a doer making his way down to tha
shore , nnd ho turned the glare of tlio lamp
on tha beach , moving dlreutlv on him till ho
was within twenty yards. The signal to lira
was given aml-.rcpoatoil. Hit Emerson could
distinguish nolhlng. 'Shoot 1' 11 nailv whis
pered the guldo In the faintest breath.
'Shoot 1' I repeated nearer. But the door
wns Invisible to him nud wo drlftod to n
boat's length from htm before the nnlmal
took fright , and bolted for the woods , undis
turbed by n hasty shot 1 sent after him , and
wo heard his triumphant whistle nud gallop
dying away in Iho tort-si depths , Emerson
wnsstupcliod. Wo rounded the next point
and found n deer already en thu feeding
ground , 10 repeat tlio oxporlonco. Tbo deer
stoou hraadsldo to him , In full view , in the
shallow water , but straining his vision to the
utmost he could distinguish nothing llko a
deer , ana when wo hud got so near that thu
same resull was Imminent I tired anil the
buck full dead.Well ' said Emerson , 'if
that was a deer I a ( mil ilro at thojlrst
square thing I 500 ; ' but wo saw no moro ibat
night.
"Each disappointment , however , plunged
him moro deeply Into the excitement of the
chase , and he was most anxious to kill hU
doer before lip went homo , unable to resist
the contagion of the passion forj'it. Ho
said to mo one day , 'I must kill a doer before
wo go home , even if the guide has to hold
him by tlio tall. '
"At that season of the year.when itbo deer
arc in their short coat , the body sinks ut
once if shot In the deep water ; and on over
taking the quarry in Iho lake , if the deer-
slayer-.ras not sure of his shot , the guide
used to run the boal alongsldo of It , and
catch it by the tail , when the shol became a
sure ono. As wo hunted ouly when wo
needed the meat , we aid not risk the loss of
the deor. and when a poor shot hold thu cun
the quarry was caucht bv the lull and. killed
in this unsportsmanlike way. That survival
of the earliest iicsston of the primitive man ,
thu passion of the chase , overcame even the
philosophic inlnd of Emerson , once cxiosod |
to the original influences , and ho recognized
bis ancestral bunt. Few of us who llvo uu
active Ufa fail to ba ullracled by this flrst of
ull occupations of thu yet uuclvlllzod man.
Kmersou never bad the grutlficatiou of hit
dcslro ; the deer uvYcr came to him on the
drlvo , nnd hi * repetition ot the night-hunt
WAS net tnoro successful. "
