sixty-six years ago. came to be the popu-
lar biographer of many eminent Ameri-
cans: zone day, while he was employed
on The New York Home Journal, he dinea
at q restaurant with Mason Brothers,

books. Parton happened to say. What
an interesting story could be made out Of

only get ut the factsp One Of the pub
fishers said Why don't youAdo itr The
young man replied that it would require

and that he could not afford 1t. esAsfew
dayslater the firm agreed to advance the
money requisite. and the book was thus
assured Parton went from house to house
in New Hampshire and Vermont. making,
