f of two or thrco ordinary lives into
hu half century.
The editor of the Ladles' Home
Journal grow into manhood in associa
tion with older men whose names were
stamped in gold upon the history of
their, times. Half a down presidents of
tat United States were among his
friends. Ho knew the writers of a de
cade now revered as the earlier prime
of American and British letters.
Uolraes, Emerson, Longfellow, Mark
xwain, Stockton, stevenhon and Kip

antob'oRraphy. Jay Gould, Henry
rfi xicecnor, rnuups urooks, Glad

knew, and that cast something of their
shadow upon him.
A. life so full as his could bo possible
only becauso its active beginning went
back to his early youth. In earliest
childhood, when he felt it wag incum
bent on him to help out the family in
come by polishing a bakeshop window
twice' a week to enrn n half-dollar, and
contracting to deliver the entire edi
tion not a large one as Ucwspaper edi

cate on Saturday mornings for another
dollar he developed the ferlous pur
pose in life which guided him through
oil his career.
Autographs nnd Biographies
Ho" was still a child when his passion
for collecting autographs made him
known to the men best worth knowiug,
from; each of whom ho drew some fur
ther inspiration for his own career.
Even as a boy there was a practical
ity about him which promised business
kucccss. Thus as a boy in his teens,
peeing" a picture card in a package of
cigarettes, and noticing that the reverse
tide ,was blank, gave him the idea of a
erlea of cards which would carry on
the reverse brief biographies of the per
sons shown.
He conceived the idea, and moro to
tht purpose, the fact that it 'was mar
ketable. So well did the idea turn out
that he was able to keep five newspaper
men busy in their spare moments writ
ing" tabloid biographies, which he mar
keted. As he remarks, "he was speedily
convinced that to edit biographies writ
ten by others, at one-half the price paid
to him, was more profitable than to
write himself."
The collection of autographs was a
development of the boy's passionate
dasire for self-education, as he had been
forced to relinquish what hopes he may

It led him to some of the pleasantcst
incidents of his llfo, and incidentally
gave rise to Rome of the most delightful
anecdotes of the autobiography.
Thus he met Rutherford B. Hayes, as
a presidential cnndldate. Then, when
Mr. Hayes was President of the United
States, Iiq was sent to get a shorthand
report o"f 'the President's address at a
iic.w ruginuu sjuciciy uinner ior uie
Brooklyn Eagle. He had learned to
niako "pothooks" nt night schools
with characteristic efficiency and drive
golug to two classes at once to learn
the faster.
President Gave Him "Beat"
The President talked too fast for
Holt's fledgling speed, and after tho
dinner he asked the President for his
copy of the address. At the dinner the
President had noticed that Bok had trio
wino glasses taken away a sudden
resolution to ealu him moro space and
assure n clear head and he spoke of
this to the young reporter. He was bo
pleased with tho boy's reply that he
Invited Bok to go homo with him in his
rurriage and hu would give him the
speech. It was a "beat" for the
Eagle, and tho beginning of a friend

lived. Daytimes Bok was working as

Lonzfellow. Holmes ami Emerson
were some of the early literary gods
of the little Dutch boy. He had their
autographs, and wanted to meet them
in the flesh. Ho, when he had saved
money enough for a week's vacation, he
journeyed to New England.
"I shall certainly look for you to
morrow morning at 8 o'clock to have a
niece of pie with me. Thaf, is real
New England, you know," wrote Dr.
Oliver Wendell Holmes to the boy's
message, sent upon his arrival In Bos
ton, that he would like to .visit the
famous "Autocrat of the Breakfast
Table." Bok was there at 7:30.
From Holmes. Bok went to see Long
fellow, armed with n letter from the
kindly doctor. It was a delightful visit,
the Dutch boy reading to the poet from
a translation of his poems in Dutch.
The poet kept him for supper. Bok
hnd planned to go back to the hotel
nnd think over tho day's events.
"Now, listen to my plan," suggested
the poet, "Boston is strango to you.
Now. we're going to the theatre this
evening, and my plon is that you come
in now, have a little supper with us,
and then go with us to see tho play.
It is n funny play, and a good laugh
will do you moro good than to sit in a
hotel nil by yourself. Now, what do
you think?1'
Met Phillips at Theatre
They went to the play, to tho boy's
huge delight, and there ho was intro
duced to Wendell Phillips. Longfel
low told the latter that the boy planned
to call to sco him and also Phillips
Brooks.
"I shall be glad to see you, my
boy," said Mr. Phillips. "And so you
are going to see Phillips Brooks? Let
me tell you something about Brooks.
He has a great many books In his
library which nre full of his marks
and comments. Now, when you go to
see him, you ask him to lot you seo
some of his books, and then, when he
isn't looking, you put a couple of them

"And he and Longfellow smiled

Ho saw Phillips Brooka, though

Charles Scrlbners' Sons,
Reaches Height of Career
It was in connection with Literary
Leaves, which ho wrote and sent out
through his syndicate, and which was
published in Philadelphia In the old
limes, that he came to the notice of
Cyrus H. K. Curtis, who finally engaged
him as editor and launched him upon the
full tldo of his success as nn editor.
One of tho best nlipoflotrfl nf hn nnh-
llshlng house days comes from tho Scrlb
ners' period. Mark Twain was a fro
qucnt visitor. Though smoking was for.
bidden In the Scrlbncr offices, Mark
Twain always had his pipe.
"Ho generally smoked a granulated
tobacco which he kept in a long check
bag made of silk nnd rubber. When ho
sauntered to the back of the Scrlbncr
store, he would generally knock the
residue from the bowl of the pipe, take
out the stem, place It in bis vest pocket,
like n pencil, and drop tho bowl into
tho bag containing tho granulated to
bacco. When h? wanted to smoke
again, (which was usually five minutes
later) he would fish out tho bowl, now
automatically filled with tobacco, insert
the stem nnd strike a light.
One afternoon as he ventured into
Bole's office, ho was just putting tho
pipe away. The pipe, of the corncob
variety, was very aged nnd black. Bok
asked him whether It was the only pipe
hm hnA
he had
" 'Oh, no,' Mark answered, 'I haye
several. But they'ro all like this. I
never smoke a new corncob pipe. A
new pipe Irritates the throat. No corn
cob pipe is lit for anything until it has
been used nt least a fortnight.'
" 'How tlo you break in a, pipe,
then?' asked Bok.
" 'That's tho trick.' nnswerei Alatk
Twain. 'I get a cheap man n man
who doesn't amount to much, anyhow:
who would be as well, or better, dead
rind pay him a dollar to trcak In the
pipe for me. I get him to smoke the
pipe for a couple ot weeks, then put in
n new stem, and continuo operations as
loug as the pipe holds together.' "
Judge Shute Again
Judge Shute, of Exeter, N. II., who
made a reputation as n humorist by
writing "The Real Diary of a Real
Hoy," has sustained it in "The Real
Diary of the Worst Former." He can
nily refrains from calling himself a "real
farmer." His experiments in agricul
ture were made on his home lot in Ex
eter, so he was only an nmateur. He
tells of bis experiences in buying a cow
And in getting his pigs into the pen and
in driving cats away from the birds in
the trees, as well ns describing his nar
row escape from death when the cow,
which had broken one horn off, in the
night bunted him with the bloody cor
ner of her head and convinced him thut
he bad been gored by a ferocious ani
mal. He was bitterly disappointed
when the doctor, after a careful exami
nation of his whole person, was unable
to find n scratch of any kind.
The book will please all those who like
burlesque founded on the kind of ex
periences common to every man who
tries keeping a cow and pigs and rais
ing his own vegetables.

less than a year and a half younger;
and Molly and Maud, who were nine
and seven. They were living with a
"step-grandmother" while their father
was awnv off in China. The little girls

was only a "step." It required many
experience." tn find out that things are
