,william ,dean ,howells ,not squirrels in the park alone ,his love and winter-kindness own4 ,when ,literary ,fledglings try ,their wings1 in first attempt to fly1 ,they flutter down to ,franklin ,square1 ,where ,howells in his ,easy ,chair ,like good ,saint ,francis scatters crumbs ,of ,hope1 to each small bird that comes4 ,and since ,bread1 cast upon the main1 ,must to the giver come again1 ,i tender now1 long overtime1 ,this humble ,crumb of grateful rhyme4 7,see ,frontispiece7 ,napoleon ,i like to draw ,napoleon best ,because one hand is in his vest1 ,the other hand behind his back4 7,for drawing hands ,i have no knack47 ,illustration ,dante ,if you should ask me1 whether ,dante ,drank ,benedictine or ,chianti1 ,i should reply1 ,i cannot say1 ,but ,i can draw him either way4 ,illustration ,theodore ,roosevelt ,the ways of ,providence are odd4 ,if ,,theodore means ,the ,gift of ,god1 ,let us give thanks1 at any rate1 ,the ,gift was not a duplicate4 ,aside 7,to ,t4 ,r7 ,dear ,theodore1 should it give you pain ,to read this ,rhyme1 let me explain4 ,if we 'exchanged' you1 where on ,earth ,could we find one of ,equal worth8 ,o4 ,h4 ,illustration ,rudyard ,kipling ,i seem to see a ,shining ,one1 ,with eyes that gleam1 now fierce1 now tender1 ,through ,goggles that reflect the ,sun ,with more than ,oriental ,splendor2 ,i see him sitting on a chest ,heavy with padlocks1 bolts1 and cording1 ,where ,untold ,treasures hidden rest1 ,treasures of ,untold ,yarns he's hoarding4 ,oh1 ,rudyard1 please unlock that chest6 ,with hope deferred we're growing hoary2 ,or was it all an empty jest ,your saying1 ,that's another story8 ,illustration ,ignace ,jan ,paderewski ,when ,paderewski is forgot1 ,our children's children1 like as not1 ,will worship in the ,hall of ,fame1 ,some great piano-maker's name4 ,illustration ,daniel ,frohman ,i love to picture ,daniel ,frohman ,in costume of a noble ,roman4 ,for ,dan has just the style of hair1 ,that ,julius ,csar used to wear4 ,illustration ,charles ,w4 ,eliot ,and now comes ,dr4 ,eliot stating ,that ,hell won't bear investigating4 ,it looks like ,charlie's out to bust ,the ,great ,hell-,fire ,insurance ,trust4 ,illustration ,j4 ,pierpont ,morgan ,in ,rome1 when ,morgan came to town1 ,they nailed the ,colosseum down4 ,a great ,collector6 ,once his ,fad ,was ,coins1 but when in time he had ,collected all the coin in sight1 ,to ,europe's ,art his thoughts took flight4 ,but let not ,europe palpitate ,for fear of an ,art ,syndicate4 ,there are more ,rembrandts1 strange to say1 ,than ever were in ,rembrandt's day2 ,and statues planted in the sand ,will always equal the demand4 ,illustration ,gilbert ,k4 ,chesterton ,unless ,i'm very much misled1 ,chesterton's easier done than said4 ,i have not seen him1 but his looks ,i can imagine from his books4 ,illustration ,guglielmo ,marconi ,i like ,marconi best to see ,beneath a ,macaroni tree ,playing that ,nocturne in ,f ,sharp ,by ,chopin1 on a ,wireless ,harp4 ,illustration ,george ,bernard ,shaw ,the very name of ,bernard ,shaw ,fills me with mingled ,mirth and ,awe4 ,mixture of ,mephistopheles1 ,don ,quixote1 and ,diogenes1 ,the ,devil's wit1 the ,don's ,romance ,joined to the ,cynic's arrogance4 ,framed on ,pythagorean plan1 ,a ,vegetable ,souperman4 ,here you may see him crown with bay ,the ,greatest ,playwright of his day2#a ,observe the look of ,self ,distrust ,and ,diffidence--upon the bust4 #a ,for his read any4--,g4 ,b4 ,s4 ,illustration ,brander ,matthews ,i'd best beware how ,i make free ,with ,brander ,matthews ,l4 ,l4 ,d4

to lift your ,grace ,a bit above the commonplace4 ,illustration ,arnold ,bennett ',tis very comforting to know ,that every other day or so ,a ,book by ,bennett will appear ,to charm the ,western ,hemisphere4 ,i see him now1 with zeal sublime1 ,pounding from dawn to dinner-time ,four typewriters1 with hands and feet4 ,when the four novels are complete1 ,he'll fold1 and send grande vitesse ,his ,quadrumanuscript to press4 ,p4 ,s4 ,just think how much we'd have to read ,if ,bennett were a centipede ,o4 ,h4 ,illustration ,shakespeare ,will ,shakespeare1 the ,baconians say1 ,was the ,belasco of his day-- ,others more plausibly maintain ,he was the double of ,hall ,caine4 ,illustration ,william ,howard ,taft ,i'm sorry ,william ,taft is out ,of ,politics2 without a doubt ,of all the ,presidential crew ,he was the easiest to do4 ,illustration ,g4 ,k4 ,chesterton ,when ,plain ,folk1 such as you or ,i1 ,see the ,sun sinking in the sky1 ,we think it is the ,setting ,sun1 ,but ,mr4 ,gilbert ,chesterton ,is not so easily misled4 ,he calmly stands upon his head1 ,and upside down obtains a new ,and ,chestertonian point of view1 ,observing thus1 how from his toes ,the sun creeps nearer to his nose1 ,he cries with wonder and delight1 ,how ,grand the ,,sunrise is to-night6 ,illustration ,david ,belasco ,behold ,belasco in his den1 ,wielding the scissors1 paste and pen1 ,and writing with consummate skill ,a play by ,w4 ,de ,mille4 ,illustration ,henrik ,ibsen ,i once drew ,ibsen1 looking bored ,across a deep ,norwegian ,fjord1 ,and very nearly every one ,mistook him for the midnight sun4 ,illustration ,j4 ,forbes-,robertson ,i'm told the ,artist who aspires ,to draw ,forbes-,robertson requires ,a ,sargent's brush4 ,dear me6 how sad6 ,i've lost the only one ,i had4 ,illustration ,john ,drew ,for ,perfect ,form there are but few ,that can compare with ,mr4 ,drew2 ,a ,form most fittingly displayed ,in rles from ,london1 tailor-made ,by ,messrs4 ,maughn1 ,pinero1 ,jones1 ,in quiet1 gentlemanly tones4 ,the ,nouveaux-,riches flock1 day by day1 ,to learn from ,john how to display 7,without unnecessary gloom7 ,the manners of the drawing-room4 ,this possibly may be the cause 7,or one of them7 why ,john ,drew draws4 ,illustration ,israel ,zangwill ,this picture though it is not much ,like ,zangwill1 is not void of worth ,it has one true ,zangwillian touch ,it looks like nothing else on earth4 ,illustration ,george ,bernard ,shaw ,george ,bernard ,shaw--,oh1 yes1 ,i know ,i did him not so long ago4 ,but then1 you see1 ,i like to do ,george ,bernard ,shaw

upon won shtring4 ,for all the wurrld1 to hear him play ,you'd think 'twas a whole orchestray4 ,great ,shtatesmen come from far and near ,and shtop their talking1 just to hear ,him harp upon the latest kinks ,in politics and social jinks4 ,niver was such a music sharp1 ,i'd orter know1 sure ,i'm the ,harp4 ,illustration ,saint ,paul ,it saddens me to think ,saint ,paul ,such lengthy letters had to scrawl4 ,and so to make his labor lighter ,i picture him with a typewriter4 ,illustration ,john ,d4 ,rockefeller ,few faces interest me less ,than ,rockefeller's1 ,i confess4 ',twould vastly better suit my whim ,to draw his bank account1 than him4 ,illustration ,hiram ,maxim ,from ,hiram ,maxim's hair you'd think ,his specialty was spilling ink-- ,you'd never dream he'd spilt more blood ,than any one man since the ,flood4 ,illustration ,george ,ade ,somehow ,i always like to think ,of ,,georgeade as a ,summer ,drink1 ,sparkling and cool1 with just a ,tang ,of ,pleasant ,effervescent ,slang2 ,a ,wholesome ,tonic1 without question1 ,and ,cure for ,moral ,indigestion4 ,in ,summer-time1 beneath the shade1 ,we find ,refreshment in ,,georgeade4 ,and 'mid the ,scorching ,city's roar ,we drink him up and call for more4 ,i often wonder what the ,trade ,buys half so precious as ,,georgeade4 ,illustration ,christopher ,columbus ,columbus is an easy one ,to draw1 for when the picture's done1 ,where is the captious critic who ,can say the likeness is not true8 ,illustration ,f4 ,w4 ,hohenzollern ,in things like this ,i've always tried ,to look upon the ,brighter ,side2 ,and when ,i see the ,prince1 ,i say ,the ,crown's worth something anyway4 ,illustration ,illustration3 ,picture of ,o4 ,h4 and ,hafiz1 the ,persian ,kitten1 by ,james ,montgomery ,flagg4 ,illustration ,hafiz
