ARTIST NOT FOND OF LABOR Turner Pasted on a Picture the Print of a Vase He Wanted. On ono of Mr. Edward Moran's visits vis-its to London he made a careful study of Turner. They stopped in front of "Chlldo Harold's Pilgrimage," and Mr. Moran, after examining the canvas closely, made the startling assertion that tho vase to tho right was not a part of tho picture, but was pasted on It. Mr. Warnham Jaughcd tho Idea to scorn and said It was absurd. Mr. Moran persisted that he was right and wagered a dinner and a bottle of wine that ho could provo It it ho were given tho opportunity. Tho wagor was accepted. The picture pic-ture was taken down, tho glass was removed, and, to tho astonishment of tho keeper, Mr. Moran raised tho edge of the paper, over which, surely enough, the vase had been painted. Evidently, to save himself tho troublo trou-blo of drawing the object, Turner had cut tho vaso out of some print, skillfully skill-fully hiding the point of Juncture. New York Herald.
