ARTIST AND CRITIC IN CONFICT.
"At an art exhibition in a city gallery, not long since, a critic stepped up so close to the work of a particularly sensitive artist that the latter was led to exclaim, with considerable petulance: " Oh, stick your nose right out and Smell of it!" The critic, not at all nonplused, did as requested, and turning to the spectators with a nod of his head, coolly remarked : " Yes, it smells like a painting! " It is feared that nothing short of pistols and coffee will ever satisfy the cravings for carnage which this little episode has engendered between the two parties. .
