Whistler’s Criticism.
Dante Gabriel Rossetti once showed
Whistler a sketch and asked bis opin
ion.
"It has its good points. Rossetti."
said Whistler. "Go ahead with it by
all means."
Later he inquired how it was getting
along. "All right.” answered Rossetti
cheerfully. "I’ve ordered a stunning
frame for it ”
In due time the canvas appeared at
Rossetti’s house, beautifully framed.
“You've done nothin; to it since I
saw it. have you?" said Whistler.
“No-o.” replied Rossetti, “but I’ve
written a sonnet on the subject, if
you'd like to hear it”
lie recited some lines of peculiar ten
derness
“Rossetti." said Whistler, as the reci
tation ended, "take out the picture and
frame the sonuet.”
Needed a Stronger Pull.
Jones, a new recruit, was sent out
for target practice on the ranges. He
did fairly well at 300 yards for a new ,

to drop his bullets short. I he sergeant |
patiently explained the raising of the
sights and so on. Rut Jones still fell
short. He saw the sergeant coming
back. His "buddy” whispered to him.
“Sergeant 'll ask you why.” the "bud
dy” said. “He’ll want you to tell him.
I see what the trouble is. It’s”— Here
his voice was scarcely audible. The
recruit fired away—short again.
"Why in blazes can’t you shoot high
er?” demanded the sergeant "What’s !•
the trouble?"
"I’ve found out what the trouble is.
sir," answered the recruit “I’m afraid
I haven’t been pulling the trigger hard ji
enough.”—New York Post 1
