prise it was. He was engaged to write
what he chose, as he chose, over his nom
de plume, to be subject to none of the
restrictions or discipline of the Office,
and 1t was common report that he was
to receive $4,000 year for this under
taking. This shrewdness of manage
ment unquestionably saved Nye from
being buried in that mighty wave of lit
erary endeavor which produces anony-
mously the best in our daily newspapers.
1t revealed that Nye was as strong in
business as he was great in humor, and
from that time on his pathway has been
one of ever increasing prosperity.
His fame being established, he was
able to make other newspaper conuec-
tons, so that in the course of a wear OF
two he was in receipt of an income of
over $4,000 year. There were times
when Mr.. Nye felt some sadnee that his
reputation should be merely that of a
literary jester, but he consoled himself
with the thought that he was giving in
nocent delight to thousands, was pro-
viding well for his family and al6 with
the hope that in the future he would be
able to win more critical reputation in
higher literary endeavor.
His business instincts served him well
also when he entered the lecture field.
The work is hard and dreary and entails
prolonged absences from a most charm
ing family, but it pays well. His profits
are commonly reported to have been as
high as from $4,000 to $50, 900 a year,
so that in the past four or five years Mr..
Nyes income has equaled that of the
greater lawyers, has been as large as
the individual profits which many bank
ers and merchants have received from
their business, and has been equaled
among literary men probably only by
the income of the Rev. DR.. Talmage.
He has ventured into the drama, al
though he is not dramatist and must
ever rely upon those who have dramatic
instinct and experience to make his
plays fit for stage representation. He
has also conquered the literary set, and
Is now furnishing a series of articles for
one of the leading magazines.
MIR. Nye's life, however, is in his do
mestic circle, and it is no wonder. His
wife, charming woman, is Just the
helpmeet for such "a man, and with his
four children he is as much child as
any of them. He lives in luxury in a
beautiful place on Staten Island, and
has also a residence at Asheville, n. c.,
where he Is now convalescing from the
effects of the recent accident from which
he suffered in jackson, Miss
Mr.. Nye has barely entered the prime
OF life, being in his fortieth year, and if
ms present prosperity attends him he
seems likely to become the wealthiest
of our literary men.

ket value. He simply reported things
In Laramie as he saw them. not under
standing that his mental vision and his
capacity to reproduce t on paper was of
such peculiar nature as would gain for
him fame, would create in the popular
mind a demand for a constant supply of
it, and would therefore have pecuniary
value.
| He, however, realized this when, to
his intense surprise, ne found that his
sketches were appearing in every news
paper in the land. He had an indistinct
idea at once that if these things were
worth reprinting they were worth pay
ing for. They brought him nothing but
! fame in Laramie, and there he received
far less appreciation than anywhere else.
Fame in that town was not money, and
/ The Boomerang gave up the ghost.
| Nye had determined that it was his
duty to cultivate this talent. because he
saw in it an opportunity to gain, at
least, a fair support, but while he was
turning over in his mind the course best
to pursue, he was brought to deaths
door by an attack Of meningitis, and
when he was recovering from that he
was the victim Of a cyclone which had
its way with him, blowing him hither
and thither, and finally depositing him
ON the sod with broken leg and some
| fractured ribs. This OF course brought
him to halt for awhile. While con-
valescing in the south he wrote an ex
quisite sketch, accompanying it with
picture which he drew, and sent it to
the New York World rather timidly.
That paper instantly printed it, and for
warded to Mr. Nye proposition to join
its staff
His business instinct served him well
on this occasion. Nine men ont of ten
would have been only too glad if they
were situated as he was to form a staff
connected with The World upon terms
proposed by that piper, but Nye was
wise. He felt that II would be dan
gerous thing for a humorist to go to
New York city. He doubted whether
such a person could maintain himself
there, and he believed that the chances
were that in the y-hirl of newspaper
life, and especially Of Il newspaper con-
Quoted at such high pressure as is The
World. the humorist would be stunned,
his work would become forced and arti-
fetal, his identity would be lost and he
would sink to the dead level of the aver
age.
Nye therefore determined to make a
proposition to The World himself. He
went offering business, not seeking any
employment the paper might have to
give. He did not expect that his offer
would be entertained, but to his sur

made one jolly even to look upon. Fun

he was quiet. and ninth constantly
smiled from his eyes. Yet this Nye was
what Bill Nye never was and probably
never can be-a successful politician.
His humor served him we'll. for he made
use of it in such effective manner upon
the stump that vast throngs focked TO
hear him whenever he was announced
to speak, and the fame which Tom Cor

Corwin passed over to the majority.
Bill Nye has been and is everything
that Jim Nye was not, excepting that the
two men possessed common surname

Since Nye's popularity has become
universal wherever tho English Ian
guage is read, he is no longer compared
with any man, and no one tries to con-
meet his peculiar and delightful ability
with relationship to any distinguished
man.
Very many documents of Nye's life
have been written. Most of them are
tlippant and many of them are feeble

literary mannerisms. He really de-
