~ D'Apery. New York's most famous
TX boy editor, is reaping the bitter fruit
A of success, and has been ordered
out of the city by his doctor.
This lad, now about IA years old, is a
little marvel of acute editorial Judgment.
1t seems to have been born in him. Very
early in his editorial career he would be
playing with his marbles or his pet cat when
he would say: have an idea. will write
to Prime 20 and so and get an article for the
Sunny Hour" His ideas always have worked.
He has published in his little month
ly more articles from kings and queens and
princes and wRr-worn generals than any
three magazines of %grown-up Dimensions.
Carmen Sylvia sent him two poems. Osman
Pacha. the defender of Plevna, sent him an
article for which a magazine editor would
have give a front tooth. Prince Roland
Bonaparte has just sent him the manuscript
of an unpublished book of science with full
liberty to uso extracts. The princess of
Wales sent him a story. A man publisher
hearing of this concluded that he could
do as much. and sent Il blank check for
another. The check was. of course, re-
turned.
Social leaders in New York took the boy
up and made a pet of him. Their chill
dren wrote for him, and no was in demand
at receptions and fairs, where he was n
model of boyish department.. But all
this was hard on n growing
boys vitality. Tello will be
kept at school this winter in the country,
out of reach of city excitements. Three
days in each month he will have leave of
absence to come down and get his paper
ready for the press. Next year he will go
abroad, and whether he goes to Paris,
Spain. Greece, Turkey, Africa, South Amer
lea or China, he will be able to hobnob
with subscribers and contributors of the
most imposing and dignitied character.
The sanctum of this young editor is n
museum. There are shelves filled with
curiosities, and row upon rows of
photographs. Most of the distinguished
contributors, and some like Queen Viotorin.
who have not contributed, have sent him
