mo, except not to eat too much"
81 never saw anyone of your age who
does so much work in such fine condition. VI
"The only rule is, not to eat too much"
"How about sleeping?"
'If you don't sleep you can't work.
sleep at least eight hours"
"Do you use any wines7'
Takes Little Whisky and Water.
| 'T drink a little whisky and water
When 1 was young fellow drank wine,
but now the doctors say must let it alone,
or I will have the gout."
"Do you smoke?"
stNever. But I am very fond of it,
| When 1 was about 13 smoked cigar that
was too much for me; have never smoked
since Yet am very fond of the odor and
| flavor"
"Don't you think that much of your fine
physical condition comes from your tran
guilty of mind. You are not easily wor-
| ried?"
'tMy nerves are good, and I don't
easily get excited. One inherits these
things"
''Do you take exercise?'
81 take great deal of exercise. A man
who travels 80 miles a day on the railroad,
and by carriage-drives himself-then walks
around his place half an hour or SO; gets up
at $50 or o'clock in the morning, takes a
great deal of exercise. 1 don't take any
regular exercise"
'Do you follow what is called an Amer
ican diet? Do you take heavy break
fast?"
"When I live in France / follow the
French system. Here L have to take it as 1
can get it.
"When you write do you dictate or write
with your own hand?"
"Almost always dictate.
II once heard Mr.. Blaine say he did not
think the highest classical work could be
arrived at by writer who dictated
II don't believe that. 1t is mere ques-
tion of thought If you have the thing in
your mind you can express it yourself or
dictate it to anyone. I don't think it
makes much difference. If your articles
have the ideas and thoughts the principal
thing, they will produce their own effect.
Whether they are signed John Smith or
Horace Greeley, what difference does it
make, except a man may be attached to
Horace Greeley and think whatever he
says is of importance; but generally speak
ing, the effect is in the ideas"
The Newspapers Must Pay.
'What is the prime object, from your
standpoint, in the publication of newspa-
per?"
THAT is a complicated question. The
great object, of course, is business A news
paper is published for the sake of profit, like
any other business; then after that comes
the intellectual motive, the success of a
cause, the supremacy of one party over an
other all those things which intellectual
men contend about, but no newspaper could
be published unless it paid, and when you
take modern newspaper, with the capital
that is required to carry it on, where, for
instance, it has to have a half-dozen presses
that cost $50, 900 each, it is plain there
must be considerable profit or the enter
prise would not live"
what is the great expense of producing
q metropolitan paper for day?"
81 never calculated. I should say, take
the whole thing, all around, month BY
month, about 1000 a dav. On careful
scrutiny it may be more or less, but it
would not vary much, 1 think"
t'Then you don't think the question of
morality, or improving the public, enters
any more into the conduct of a newspaper
than any other business?"
Eyes, little more, because the intel
lectual character of a newspaper requires it
to discuss political moral questions, and
this fact makes 1T a matter of more conse-
quence-makes moralityand public wellbeing
gilmore econsequence to it than any other busi-
