! A PAIR OF 1USCALS. |
;two men who are responsible^
for lots of woe.
|
Tho Artist Who Drawn the Pictures on the
Comic Valentines and tlio Harvard Grad- '
nato Who Writes the Poetry?Millions r
of Penny Viliflera. t
Two mon aro responsible for tho cntiro c
crop of couiio valentines which spread bit- 1
' terness and woo throughout our fair land v
once a your at just ahout this tinio. One
of them is a Harvard graduate. IIo perpotratos
the verso. Tho othct is nn artist
who learned to wield his brush with a far
nobler aim In viow.
It is well that thero aro two of thorn,
for they divide the awful responsibility.
Tho poet's name is Edward "Rigney. Tho
artist is ono Edgars. They both live in
Brooklyn. A Now York man might think
that was punishment enough for thom.
Let us hope that tho recording angel will
I think so. too. for they havo a lot to answer
for.
Let us just do a littlo figuring on the J
subjcct. There aro 20,000,000 "comics" t
printed and circulated every year. Suppose
only 15,000,000of those are purchased \
and sent. If only two-thirds of tho victims j
relieved their lacorated feelings by the use
of profanity?we will say that tho other
6,000,000 aro women and professing Christians?that
would leave 10,000,000 who h
would fracluro tho second commandment.
Each man would, wo will say, uso on an
average of flvo bad words, some beginning
with a big D and others best represented '
by dashes, thus . That would <
give a total of 50,000,000 profane words. <
Now these two mou havo been at this <
business for about 15 years, and if tho <
' ? - * 1 l -1 J
wram 01 me people or mo jiuliu ui Jrruyr \
dcnco docs not striko them down they may <
continuo In their evil doing for 10 years <
more, a total of 25 years. Thus in 25 years <
they will have beon tho indirect producers
of 1,250,000,000 profano words, or enough
to make 10,000 good sized volumes.
What an awful responsibility to contemplate
I
But these men don't look at it in that
war. They seem to think that the enjoymont
of good salaries in this life is of far
moro importance than a bright hereafter.
Both of them perhaps hopo that thoir'
work on sentimental lines will offset the
other. Mr. Edgars not only draws the hid
TOE SCORCHER?BOUND TO BE POPULAR. i
ecus facos of tho "comics," but he is an
Bdopt in painting pink Cupids, red hearts
?always arrow pierced?and dainty forget1515no
nf flm vfillov nnd nfchm" flo
ULiuuuca, aaxjvo v* v?v M-'V,, ? ? ?
ral decorations. j
Artist Edgars Is a man of about 30, but
for 14 years ho has boon doing this sort of
work. Consequently ho has attaineda wonderful
dexterity with the brush. IIo can
tal>o a plain pieco of cardboard or celluloid,
and with a few dabs of his brush
mako it blossom liko a fairy garden. He
takes a dainty satin covered card, spreads
the colors around on it recklessly for a
minute, and, behold! ho has produced
something to delight the heart of some
protty maiden. j
In somo respccts Mr. Edgars is to bo envied.
Ho has moro facilities for "gotting
even" than any other man on earth. When
tho average man is insulted by an insolent
street car conductor, snubbed by a
sauoy dry goods clerk or imposed upon by |
a butcher, baker or candlestick maker, he
can only address a littlo fleeting, cvanes- j
cent profanity .at the individual offender.
Not so Mr. Edgars. Ho just keeps quiet, '
smiles in a bland, self satisfied way, goes 1
to his den and draws a picturo of the man
or woman, and has a fow hundred thou
Band of tliem strucK oil. xnus uuus uu
wroak his vongeanco not on one poreon
alone, but on all of that kidnoy. If he Is
angry, ho can, by a few strokes of his
brush, iusult about 500,000 total stran-;
gcra. What czar or sultan could do more?
And Mr. Rigncy helps him oat. He'
takes tho nightmare skotches and wrltos
verses for them?vorscs which tip the ar-;
row with gall and wormwood, which
mako tho victim rant and tear and say
things. |
But there Is a compensating side to all;
this. Thero are 70,000,000 souls of us in ,
Uncle Sam's domain, and we probably all;
know at least half a dozen persons on
whom we would like to inflict a oomlo.
/fa i \
THE OLD MAID?ALWATS SELLS WELL.
But wo don't. No, only about 20,000,000
of us indulgo in this sort of thing, and
there is a whole lot of comfort for the humanitarians
in that.
Then t hero arc lots of peoplo who 6end
comics, not out of puro malice, but bo- cause
they think it is funny. It may bo?
to the sender. Evor
since last Valentine's day the art- ?
1st and the poot have been at work on this <
year's vintage. Each season offers newsubjects
for their satirical pen and brush, *
Bicycle riders, of course, have como in i
for a good sharo of their attention. There 1
is tho bloomer girl. Oh, how she does
catch it! Now neither of tho two iinon who i
make the valentines hns anything pv.r
tonal against the bloomor girl. Thoy have ]
