HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH RICHARD H. DAVIS AS ! HE WAS KNOVVM HERE [Continued Fruin First Page.] exclusiveness or even snobbery. This | would be just as true of Theodore Roosevelt. After reporting on the Philadelphia [ Press, then edited by his father, K Clarke Davis, Richard went to New York and worked on the Evening Sun at Jl2 per week. The profession was pretty loose then, a reporter was sup posed to be a Bohemian. Davis did not look at it this way, but if he cov ered assignments in a frock coat and high hat he got a deal more out of them than any other news hustler. He kept his individuality and notions to the last. When 1 called on him in Seplember, 1915, at his Mount Kisco home, a moving picture representative was there offering him slu,ooo for a five-reel scenario. Davis needed the money and had a scenario ready, but would not sell it because the firm wanted to have "some of their staff" construct out of the skeleton a serial story. "1 may never nave written a masterpiece," he said, "but what is signed by me is certainly my own." Knew llim Intimately I had the good fortune to know Mr. Davis intimately, meeting him in a rather curious way at Cape Town, South Africa, just after the Battle oi Spion Kop. After half an hour be for the steamer left on her way up the east coast 1 was in the cabin assigned to me when in came a stranger, al though 1 recognized the well-known correspondent by his pictures. "Hello," said he, "you in here—American'.'" "Sure, Mikef" from me. ■ "Oh, Cecil." he called down the pas sage way to Mrs. Davis. "Come here; hero's an American, and he says "sure, Alike.' " It turned out that they were on their I honeymoon, and had not encountered a genuine Yank for some months. 1 took it very kindly that without any more queries Davis asked me along to meet Rudyard Kipling who was out on deck with a party, though the experience was not entirely pleasant. Mr. Kipling was rabid against the Boers and when he made a gross ex aggeration, having been up among the Transvaalers 1 undertook to cor rect him. He swung on me one savage, crushing glance and remarked: "Young man I am not arguing; I am stating a fact." The only reason 1 didn't fall overboard was because of the high bulwarks. If they would call Davis "uppish" what should one say of the other. It is little things that display a man's character, although this was no small matter to me. When the Boers decided to evacuate Pretoria there was a desperate scramble among foreign soldiers of fortune to leave the country. Cable service was so miser able owing to the hungry British cen sors that it was about impossible to secure funds from home. After a week's tramp through Portuguese Af rica I found myself stranded at Dele goa Bay with many another. Yellow fever was killing off twenty or thirty persons a day. Running into Davis, Whom I yet knew slightly he insisted on me accepting ?280 In gold to pay, my passage to Naples, which left liiin with barely enough to pay the exl J penses of his own party. "You jump on board," he brushed aside my ob- I jections. "I'm not going to see an American newspaperman stuck in this death hole." Sweat Blood to Perfect Stories I don't suppose any one can tell now i just how Richard Harding Davis will i rank in the history of our literature, J but 1 can attest that few worked harder to achieve a style, lie literally "sweat blood" to perfect his stories. Coming up the African east coast he asked me one day how many words I had written that day. I said about one thousand. "Pretty good" was his remark, "four hundred is the best I can do." He rarely wrote more than that, and he rewrote them carefully. He followed the latter custom from the example of Robert Louis Steven son, of whom he was a hero wor shiper. He told me an interesting story several years ago of how he and some other "kid" reporters on the Philadelphia Press were so inspired with Stevenson's "Lodging For the Night," that they wrote a letter to the brave sick man in the South Sea, 1 took a copy of the reply which is as follows: Dear Sir: Why, thank you very much for your frank, agreeable and natural letter. It ics certainly very pleasant* that all you young felows should enjoy my work, and get some good out of it; and it was very kind in you to write and tell me so. The tale of the suicide Is excellently droll; and your letter, you may be sure, will be preserved. If you are to escape, unhurt out of your pres ent business, you must be very careful, and you must find lri your heart much constancy. The swiftly done work of the journalist, and tlio cheap finish and ready-made meth ods to which it leads, you must try to counteract in private by writing with the most considerate slow ness and on the most ambitious models. And when 1 say "writing" —O, believe, me, it is re-writing that I have chiefly in mind. If you will do t*his, 1 hope to hear of you some day. Please excuse this sermon from Your obliged. ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON. Style Was. Original Soon as lie began reporting he tried to cultivate the faculty of seeing things, a little more clearly and deeper than others. He was helped in this by a remarkable pair of eyes. General Miles pronouncing bis eyesight keener than any soldier's *u the United States Army. At the port of Aden 1 saw him decipher a sign on shore when none of the foreign gunners could make it out. More than this, of course, he could detect and portray the human note. One of his first stories on the Evening Suit was of a trilling fire in an East Side tenement. When the crowd, firemen and reporters, had left he found an alarm clock lying by the side of the only victim, a "bum," the hands stopped at seven o'clock. "What time did you break in here'.'" he asked a policeman. "Why that clock was just goin' oft" yawned the sleepy cop. "Seven o'clock. Fire was at six-thirty." Other reporters glanc ed at the blackened faced, rigid form and wrote a paragraph. Davis began his account with: The man died at G. 30. The alarm went off at 7. It was just half an hour too late." Then he wove a column of vivid touching narrative that caused the managing editor to rub his eyes. Wlioli' Bat tic in a Sentence Being able to see things Mr. Davis had his own style of relating them. "In the first place," he once told me, "I use similes that the man at home can understand; secondly, I tell the thing as it impressed me when I first saw it; thirdly, I always tell the thing that most interests me." Carlyle could make a semicolon talk; Mr. Davis could put a battle in Cuba or South Africa before the eyes of a Chicago reader in a sentence. In writing of the Tommies packed on a kopje he said they looked like "a crowd on the bleacher boards at a baseball match," and you could see them. It is a great temptation of writers of travel to show off. to tell how many countries they have visited. Mr. Davis avoided this. He did not say that the pyramids are higher than the Mosque of St. Sophia, but that they "are one hundred feet higher than Madison Square Garden." He was writing for a New York public then and he could not feel sure that a majority of his readers had seen St. Sophia. The lat ter he described as "about as big as the auditorium of the Fifth Avenue theater." iu another place he said, WEST SHORE NEWS SURPRISE FOR MR. KKCKLKR Knola, Pa.. April 13. —B. F.

Thayer, of Altooua, Pa., were united in marriage. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. W. Sholl. "Brindlsi looks like Long Island City when you come into it from the rear." That put.? a man at home in Brindisi, and he is prepared to learn more of it. llluiit Honesty His Keynote Blunt honesty was the keynote of Davis" character. He felt lhat it was due to his profession of journalism. Though he lost a host of English friends lie did not hesitate to take the Roer side when he reached Africa be cause he considered that the Boers had a just cause and had not been rightly represented. "To correspond is a business," he used to say, "and it Is insulting to the writer to think that a glass of champagne in a club will keep a man from saying that a town needs new streets, or from disclosing that the government bonds have not paid interest for two years." Richard Harding .Davis was a clean writer find a clean man, morally and physically. He would not think of beginning the day without shaving; he would not appear at the dinner ta ble but in evening dress. He was brought up in an atmosphere of pro priety and its customs were to him second nature. So punctilious was he in conversation and conduct that a suggestive story would drive him from the room. 1 do not know how he will rank as a novelist, but he was the sublimated reporter. He had the re sponsibility that the eye report not falsely what it sees. He was a sym bol of progress, a marked example of how the press is the influence of pul pit, senate and college. His was a world of dramatic, human interest. When X gave him good-by last Sep tember he was holding his dear little daughter, her fat arms cuddled around his neck. "Well, old man," he said, "here Is the only real happiness."
