even Archibald Forbes, S. A. MacGa-

Chicago Tribune thought it could pro-
duce q sensation by an interview with
Sitting Bull, who was then at WARMTH
the government, and engaged
auntley
for the hazardous enterprise. 1t was
like hunting for q needle in haystack,
for no one knew where the crafty Indian
was, and every effort of the troops to
find him or to have q conference with
him had failed. Huntley, with q
friendly Indian for interpreter and
guide, started out and after traversing
the plains of Dakota and Montana, en-
during Unreasonable hardships and
eluding warlike Indians, finally found
the object of his search. The Indians
at once suspected him Of being spy
and seized him and tried him as such,
but he was finally able to convince
them that all he wanted to learn was
their chiefs view of the situation, in
order that he might tell it to the white
people. Sitting Bull softened, and
Huntley was rewarded for his trouble
with a ten thousand wofd interview.
He Immediately hurried across the
plains to Wood Mountai n, and then to
the Missouri River, down which he
rowed TO Fort Buford, the nearest tele-
graph station and the next morning
the Tribune came out with nearly a
page of Sitting Bulls "taik." This
brilliant effort broke Huntley down,

The humorist of the New York
Times,
WI. Alden,
is the son of clergyman. He is highly
educated, being q graduate of an East
ern college, and his articles, always
published in the sixth column of the
Daily Times, are frequently written IN
a mock scientific vein, and some OF
them have displayed very profound
knowledge of current scientific theories.
Mr.. Alden's writings in the Times are
wholly humorous, but that he does
sometimes take serious view OF mat
ters and things is manifested by his lit.

For some time one of the popular fea-
lures of the Chicago Tribune has been
its Lakeside Musings and of these
the most widely quoted have been ro-
mances. The author of these sketches is
Henry Ten Eyck white.
q young man on the sunny side OF
thirty, who, after graduating at the
Northwestern University, Evanston,
ILL.,, entered journalism on the Chicago
Evening Mail in 1873. Later he he
came city editor Of the Post and Mail,
and in 1878 took charge of the sporting
department of the Tribune. His strik-
ing accounts of horse races attracted
the notice of the managing editor, and
in 1879 he was promoted to the editorial
department, and began those humor-
Gus sketches which have made the
Lakeside Musings" one of the most
entertaining features of the paper. Mr..
White makes no pretension as a hu-
morist, though he rarely, if ever, writes
anything that is not relieved by fire.

litical cartoonists in the country. The
most popular are Keppler and Fred.

Judge was started year ago last Au-
gust, and is an imitation of Puck. Its
