not very varied, and it is mainly notable
for the quantity of work which he per-
forms. tie can toll terribly, and except
in rare times of sickness, or when travel
ing, he has probably done a higher aver
age of work than any other individual in
the United States. His usual daily quota
in the Tribune has been from one to two
columns of editorial articles, while in
addition he has attended to large cor
respondence, answering about dozen
letters daily, besides contributing vol
umlnously TO different periodicals., writ
ing occasional lectures, and composing q
book every now and then. The ample
works OF Walter Scott, Bulwer Lytton or
Noltalre VIII alone compare in quantity
to the productions of his pen. At Ger
tain periods, as during the presidential
campaign OF 1910, he has almost doubled
his ordinary amount of writing, while he
wrote report of the Fennimore Cooper
libel suit extending over five columns at
a sitting, besides attending to his regular
stint OF writing. Other men would nave
taken rest after such extraordinary ex-
ertlon, but he went on without stopping,
as If 1t Was small matter. Mr.. Greeley's
A'iS Va ihtC ytaio OCCu as
follows: Since he has been guest of A.
L. Johnson's house, his habit has been
to rise about o'clock, bathe (he is very
fond OF water and is peculiarly cleanly IN
his person), and then take short walk
before breakfast to buy the papers. He
Is not at all fistidious about his food,
but Is eally suited, preferlng the plainest
kinds, and Is content with what is set
before HIM. He eschews tea and coffee,
aud only drinks water and milk. His
diet is by no means exclusively vegeta-
ran, as has been SO often represented.
Alter breakfast he goes to his room, and
writes steadily through the day. He
does his best writing III the morning. as
as did Scott and Dickens, and he Is op-
posed to night work. In the afternoon

ANA sees his friends, or writes letters
there, returning III the evening. Punct-

waiting for these, Mr.. Greeley would
often take hand at cards, of which he
Is very fond. Mr.. Greeley's Saturdays

the severe eYerllon of swinging tue AK
for four or Ave hours. On sunday he
taxes his customary walk, and attends
the morning service at DR.. Chapln's
church, where he has pew. In the
nj no
more neumerous that day than any other,
and then he settles himself down to hard
writing, as the events of two days have
then to be disposed Of. On Sunday
evenings he was until lately regular
attendant upon the receptions OF the Cary
sisters, taxing tea at their hospitable
table, but going away early IN the eve-
nlng. On other evenings ne sometimes
went to his sister Mrs. Clevelands liter
AIRY and mus cll entert iments, and
occasionally to dinner party. He dis
likes the latter kind of pleasure gather
ing. anu prefers less formal kind of
soclabllity. He likes to call upon few
OF his old friends, whom he ciings to
with great pertanacity. BY nature he is
very sociable. and he will never lunch
alone if he can avoid it.
lady not long ago asked Mr.. Greeley
II he did not begin to feel the need Of
rest, after his long life of toll. well"
he replied, II think have been turning
the crank of the universe long enough,
and feel as il would like to stop and
enJ oy little farming" Yet though he
no longer writes anything in the Tribune,
he Is by no means idle. He has worked
hard since his nomination upon A. L.
Johnson's new cyclopedia, and has writ.
ten enough for that work to make quite
show, besides attending to his increasing
correspondence, and keeping the run OF
political affairs.-[Springtield Republi.
