| CAPT. KING, AUTHOR OF 1.-TWO SOLDIERS.
Capt. King first tried his prentice
hand at writing when a subaltern of ar.
tillery, just after the war, but not with
pecuniary success, if any other. He
found publishers, but no pay. In 1872,
while on reconstruction duty in the
south, he began "Kitty's Conquest, and
tried several publishers with it. No one
wanted it, and he pitched the MSS. into
a trunk, and went out to Arizona, to
join the Fifth cavalry for the Apache
campaign. For six years he and his regi-
ment were in one Indian war after an
other, and scouting all over the continent,
from the Missouri to the Colorado. 1t
was while recovering from a severe
wound that he began sketches of Indian
campaigning, and they led to demands
for more.
The Lippincotts read his "Colonel's
Daughter" as it was being published as
a serial in an army magazine that could
hardly afford to pay for the paper it was
printed on. They instantly offered to
publish it i'll book form and pay him
royalty and to take anything else he had,
including kitty"
1.-The ColoneTs Daughter" is selling
yet, and so is its sequel, "Marion's Faith,
while "The Deserter" and From the
Ranks" and his several later complete
novels, have exceeded all the publishers
expectations, and astonished nobody
more than the author himself. His
largest work-and considered by profess
sional critics his best-is "The Famous
Battles of the World" an 800 page vol
ume, published in Philadelphia, but he
has written several short stories and
sketches for Lippincotts, Harpers and
others, and for the next year or two, I
am told by the captain himself, he can
accept no more offers, for all that he can
possibly write is bespoken.
In answer to question as to his
method of work Capt. King said that
there had been only three months year
until 1887 that he could give to writing
The national guard is a thing in which
he is deeply interested, and he has given
it great deal Of time. When he does
write it is generally for several hours at
q stretch, from 8 or in the morning un-
I'll or sometimes 2. He writes rapidly
aud yet hates to revise and correct, but
no one ever sees his work, good or bad,
until it is opened in the publishers Office.
he has written since 1882 and
mnch that he wrote before has found its
market.
Capt King was born in Albany, NY,
Oct. IL, 1874, and comes OF a family dis
.inguished in literature and politics. His |
isther was for several years United
States mjpizeE to Rome. and durinS. tia

Copyright by American Press Association
The story of Capt. Charles Kings
eventful life reads more like work Of
romantic fiction than a plain statement
Of every day facts. Capt. Kings name
has become as familiar as a household
word to readers Of serial and magazine
literature the past few years, and he is
today one Of the best known and most
widely read authors in America. The
demand for his stories is so great that
no less than six novels are now being
printed in as many magazines and syn
dicates besides several other important
new works, and he has enough orders
ahead to keep him busy every hour of
the day for the next two years.
Capt. King has been writing stories of
love and war steadily for the past six or
eight years, and in that time he has
turned out an incredibly large number
Of novels, and what is still more remark
able, they are all good ones. Capt. King
is soldier by instinct and profession, a
born ruler of men, but the receipt of
savage bullet and the appearance Of one
or two military stories from his pen COM
bined to force him, somewhat reluctant
ly, into the field Of literature. The de-
mand for his stories gradually became so
great that he has been compelled to aban-
don everything else and become pro-
fessional novelist.
Capt. Charles King is a resident of
Milwaukee. He lives in a pretty little
home ON Prospect gNenue, surrounded
by his happy little family-a wife and
several children. He is 40 years of age,
but appears much younger He is small
of stature, light and graceful, blonde,
with blue eyes and handsome, intelli-
gent face. Being near sighted he con-
stantly wears glasses. Excepting mus
tache his face is clean shaver. He is
fond of society, dresses faultlessly, and
like true military man is erect and
dignifed, keen of speech and quick at
repartee. When not wearing his uni
form he occasionally affects dress of a
very striking kind. The portrait here
with given shows him in suit of spot
less white cloth in which he occasionally
appears during the summer months.

A EVENT.
Over One Hundred Friends of
Mr.. and Mrs. Irving CAL
hOun Celebrate Their
Fifth Wedding An
niversary.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
PRAIRIE VIEW, Nov. 1O.-Last
Friday being the fifth anniversary
of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs
Irving Calhoun, the event was
well celebrated and well planned
by Mrs. Robert Potts and Mrs. Ed.
gar T%hrelkeld, yet we hardly think
it was a genuine surprise to them.
AT an early hour the guests began
to arrive and at 10 O'Clock their
cosy residence was filled with a
large number of friends, who i'm
mediately proceeded with their
merry making. Surely the day
was most delightfully."- spent with
music, social conversation and
games of various kinds and among
our sterner sex even to pitching
horse shoes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Calhoun were pre-
sented with an elegant mirror, also
a handsome willow rocker; no Ger.
emony performed, as the contract
ing parties thought there we're
present too many witnesses. The
hours swiftly passed and as all
brought their baskets well filled at
an early hour dinner was announc-
ed. The tables, which were pretti-
ly decorated, were laden with the
most dainty refreshments, which
were served from IL until $3.50
O'Clock in the afternoon and it was
nearly sunset when the guests took
their departmental congratula-
tons and best wishes for many more
happy anniversaries. Well may
Mr.. and Mrs. Calhoun be proud OF
their many friends and may the
remainder of their life be spent az
happy and as useful as the past
five years. PUELLA.

THR e HALLS.

And I, alone, am waking.

Ard 10 The loved ones talking
suei ~pitasare am Il king.
There Tag, u picture Of ehildhood's years,
When mother love quelled all my fears
And Home made all ny world
Here many q gem from girlhood's ia $
SHEDS DER my life their treasured WAY,
Wreaths OF ivy are round Them curI~l.
Al last It's mine. in all its glory,
And told again Is the old, old story,
Once more Elm a mans sweet way
And 20 for loves sweet sake
All the dear home ties / break,
And set my feet in an uptried way.
Happy, indeed. Is the bright home nest,
OF all my blessings it seemeth best;
And the love lamp never burns dim,
Where with blooms Of flowers and songs oil
birds
The music OF childish voices Is heard,
And my heart goeth out in . silent hymn
Yet there Is no household but hath its sorrow.
In this land Of yesterdays and to-morrows,
And It seemeth best to Him
Thai around our hearthstone there should b.
Three little vacant chairs. Al woe is me
Again with team my eyes are dim.
But where are my treasures win be my heart
Some are here; in heaven are part,
n the Father keepeth them all.
Deeper their sluniber, more sweet their res
Than II tenderly hushed on my loving breast
Where the blight Of sin must fill.
