BECAUSE HE WAS BROKEN-HEARTED OVER FAILURE OF Young Artist Ceased to Derive Amusement from Drawing ‘‘Funny Little Bugs,” Which Gave So Much Pleasure to Others. Men who knew Gus Dirks best say that the young artist took his life be- cause he did not succeed in hie more serlous work. They say that he was tired of being known as the “bug artist.” “Oh, you are the man who draws those funny little bugs,” was the salu- tation that followed an Introduction to a new acquaintance, and he was tired of it all. He tried to forget all he ever knew about drawing bugs, but nobody would let him do so. Gus Dirks was more than a drawer of “funny little bugs.” He wae a dell cate satirist. His little pictures were harmless satires on men and women and their doings. They provoked first a laugh and then a train of thought. Their humor was genuine and spon- taneous, but the impression was last- ing The voung artist loved his little bug world before it became a nigt e to him, Ineects to him were not mere Plagues. He watched them and their life, and saw in them an intelligence that none but an artist or poet could see. His Bugs Were Real. He drew them as he imagined them ana with a perfect regard to their ph sical characteristics, Hs beetles, grass- hoppers and frogs were real ones. His i yi drawing was perfect. Mr. Dirks came to New York about four years ago a lad of eighteen. His bug pictures were an instant success. He made money and saved it. He made a good fellow, but not Irresponsible. He hever wasted aqd never wanted. A Year ago he bought and paid for a splen- @id farm in Wisconsin, where his par- ents now live. The bug pictures amused not only the young. ‘Hundreds of grown. men’ and women have them to-day pasted up in scrap albums. They aroused in for animals that a hundred would not have done, A story is told of one little girl who, after having a series of pictures explained to her sald: “Why, they do have feelings don’t they, Tl never be cruel to bugs again, and they really do have homes and lit tle bables just like other folks.” The bug pictures made Dirks serious. e saw nothing funny in them. He could not understand sometimes’ why eople did not see more in them than a laugh. How the Artist Worked. He worked whenever he felt that he should. He would sit in an easy chair for hours drawing the tiny creatures and when tired would fall csleep. When he awoke he would finish the work he was at. He loved an Irregular life, sleeping, eating, drinking when he felt that he wanted to. He frequently worked all night and slept half the day. He had no excesses and had no patience with those that had. Gus Dirks's bug pictures made him, supported him and perhaps killed him. the young a feeling LET “KING OF CATS" GO FREE ONCE MORE Chevalier Alberto de Cassini Released on Promise to Send the Cats Away After Feeding Them.
