Brains Furnished Cheap.
HONEST LIVING MADE THROUGH
THE DISHONESTY OFOTHEKS.
AN
Speeches, IUiymci, Sketches and Lectures
Written te Order In a Hurry Te
Whom Sold and for What
Purpose The Price.
New Yerk Sun.
In Blccckcr street, in the tliinl-stery
back room of what was once an aristocratic
private dwelling house, the public in need
of brains can find the same at reasonable
rates. A reporter who recently climbed
the creaking stairs and knocked at the
deer of this back room was invited te
enter by a deep-toned, pleasant voice.
Stepping across the threshold, the visitor
found himself in the abode of Brains. The
room was bare and cheerless, containing
only a bed, a washstand, three or four
wooden chairs, a stove and a large pine
table, which was littered with manuscripts,
newspapers, pens, ink bottles and a well
thumbed dictionary. The owner of the
deep-toned voice was seated in one of the
chairs, with his feet resting en the top of
the table, and a newspaper in his hand.
" Mr. Brains, I believe, " said the re
porter. " At your service, sir. "
The reporter drew from his note book a
slip cut from the advertising columns of
one of the dramatic journals, and read it
aloud. It was as fellows :
"Dramas, sketches, songs, burlesques,
lectures, speeches, poems, &c, tfcc, writ
ten te order en the shortest notice. Terms
low. Applv te Buains, Xe. Blccckcr
street."
"That is my caul, hir, " said the occu
pant of the room. " Is there anything I
can de for yen:'
"I should like te get a little sentiment
in the poetical line, te write in a young
lady's autograph album," responded the
icpertcr, with .some natural diflidencc.
Ah. yes, I see. Yeu can furnish the
autograph yourself, but you would rather
1 would de the sentiment. Exactly. And
about hew lenjr would veu like it .' I can
make it an aero-tic, if you prefer. Ac
rostics come a little higher, but they are
just the thing, you knew, for albums. "
The leperter decided en an acrostic, and
gave Mary as the name of the album
owner.
" Hew much will it be.' "Well, I'll turn
you oft a four-liner, while you wait, for
fifty cents."
These terms proving satisfactory, the
visitor took a chair, while Mr. Brains
turned te the table and at once set himself
te work en the acrostic.
'Shall I make it tender?" he asked.
"Tolerably se." replied the customer.
By actual tuning, the poet occupied just
mx minutes in the production of the
acrostic. Then he threw down his pen
and submitted the work te hi visitor. The
virtues of the supposititious Mary were thus
embalmed :
te :iai:y.
May all tliy days as -petlc be
As was tin- page, ere marred by tin.-;
Re-e-tinted niiiy tliy future gleam,
Yet i osier still ilie present seem.
De you iind work enough in this line
te make a living'.''' inquired the reporter,
when he had expressed his satisfaction
with the stanza, and paid the half dollar
therefer.
" "Well, yes," was the cheerful response.
I manage te live along after a fashion.
The worst thing about it is that my income
is. extremely uncertain. Sometimes I don't
get live dollars' worth of orders in a month.
And then, again, I have turned out twenty
dollars' worth of work in a day. Averag
ing it the year round, I suppose I earn
eighteen or twenty dollars a week. That,
however, includes an occasional lucky sale
te the magazines and story papers. In
order weik that is, jobs which arc done
under centiact I make my rates, as a liilc
considerably lower than I get for pieces
sold for publication. I can afford te de
this, because, you knew, the chances of
having a article rejected by an editor arc
always larger then the chance of having it
accepted. Jeb work, en the contrary, is
sure pay, although small."
" But, wheic de these orders come
Hern '.''
"Oil, from all sei ts of people. I keep
a standing advertisement, like the one you
cut out, in three or four of the dramatic
and Sunday papers. These bring me a
considerable number of orders from varie
ty performers for new songs and sketches.
Occasionally, tee, some variety actor, who
is ambitious te become a star, calls en me
te write him a play adapted te his special
line. Yeu knew that is the way Emmet,
Gus Williams, Bichmend, Harrigan ami
llait, Den Thompson, and a number of
ethers have come te the front. Then
there arc the words of cheap burlesques,
for which there is a fair demand, and
which I adapt te some well-known airs.
Then, again, song-writing affords a fair
field, and I have done a geed many pieces
for Teny Paster and ether popular singers.
But I didn't count the theatrical custom
my best, by any means. A sketch for va
rietur hall use takes two or three days,
usually, te put together, and if I get
twenty dollars for it I am lucky. A full
llcdgcd drama might return me one hun
dred dollars, but orders for these arc rare.
My bonanza comes when I strike a bob
bin. "
" And what is a bobbin'."'
"Well, it is a name of my own which I
have given te a certain class of customers.
I call them bobbins because the thread of
their vanity is se long that it will keep un
winding indefinitely. And for me it
often turns out a golden thread. Here,
for example, is a speech that I have just
finished for a highly respectable old gen
tlcmau te deliver at a society dinner next
week. He is one of the very best bobbins
I ever found. I have been writing
speeches for him new, en and efT, five
years. He is rich, has retired from busi
ness, and has developed a great taste for
after-dinner oratory. I don't believe he
could speak a dozen words himself with
out committing some ridiculous blunder.
But I have floated him along, until new he
really enjoys the reputation of being
always prepared with a neat speech. I
charge him a geed round price, but he pays
it cheerfully. Then I have another bobbin
in the person of a young man, who lives
in Fifth avenue, and who drives down
here frequently in his own coupe. He is
a mild, inoffensive j'bung chap, who, with
a fortune of a quarter of a million, wants
te be considered a poet. He never stmng
together a rhyme in his life, and yet within
the past two years he has read, at various
up-iewn gatherings, net less than half a
dozen occasional poems. Of course they
are supposed te be original, and I can as
sure you that some of them arc extremely
original. I charge him anywhere from
five te fifteen dollars, according te length.
It is one of the conditions of all work done
in this way, that the person who buys any
thing from me shall have the right te lay
claim te its authorship. Perhaps you will
recall the mental albun, se called, which
made its appearance a few years age.
There were a number of printed questions,
the answers te which were supposed te indi
cate the tastes and character of the person
writing them. Well, I did a thriving busi
ness with these albums. Yeung clerks and
bookkeepers and school girls applied te me
usually, by letter, te write the answer for
them. I charged fifty cents for each char
acter which I thus delineated. That was
cheap enough, certainly, even if the char
acters were net very geed. One day a very
young man, with weak eyes, entered my
room in a state of towering rage. He told
me his name, and said that he had mailed
me half a dollar, the week before, for a set
of answers te the mental album questions.
' Well,' said I, didn't they turn out satis
factory?' 'Satisfactory?' he shouted.
'They caused me te make an ass of myself,
sir, arid you,sir, are responsible.' I thought
nature was mere directly responsible than
I, but I asked the young man te explain
himself. 'Why he answered, 'I took
these answers you sent me and
wrote 'em down in the album of
a young lady who has heretofore
held me in the highest esteem. Well, a
day or two afterwards I was in her house,
and, looking ever the album, I found en
another page, written before mine, the
same set of answers, word for word,
which you had sent me. ' It was hard en
the young chap, for, you see, being in a
hurry, I had sent him a duplicate of the
answers which I had previously sold te
somebody else. But, as a rule, I am very
careful net te dispose of the same wares
twice. In the way of lectures, I have
written a great many of them en all sorts
of subjects, from travels in Europe te tem
perance. I recently did an address ier a
Sunday school superintendent, and I have
furnished any number of prize essays and
graduating orations for the school and
college boys. On a few occasions I have
even furnished ministers with sermons,
and I think I get a geed deal of spiritual
geed from listening te one of my own
discourses preached by a young clergy
man. "
" De you have a fixed schedule of prices
for ycur work?'
"Xe. The charges arc made te depend
en the ability of the customer te pay. I
once received ten dollars for what made
three lines in newspaper print. But that,
of course, was net in my regular line of
work. 1 he most amusing client l ever
had was a newly-fledged alumnus from a
Western college. He had come en te New
Yerk te adept the profession of journal
ism, as he put it. The height of his ambi
tion was te get a place en the Tribune te
de the sentimental editorials. His father
was a rich drover, se the boy was
net troubled about money matters
Then he had letters from well-known
men, vouching for his eminent respectabil
ity. After persistent application, they
finaly told him at the Tribune eflice that
he might write up a half-column article en
any subject that he pleased, and that if he
passed muster they would print it. Straight-
I way upon this premise the'ceHegian came
te me. 1 cud the joe ler lum, charged nun
ten dollars, and the article waspriuted. The
Tribune paid him two dollars and a half.
He was net ever bright, but he reached the
wise conclusion that the profession of jour
nalism wouldn't pay en these terms. Se
lie went back te his home. I sincerely
wish he had remained here."
