According to some authorities he was
born In 1881. IL so, he certainly did not
look his age and many believe that his
years did not exceed 80. At any rate

Here is what a lecturer on Journalism
at the Royal institution London. has to
say Of the literary quality which is a
growing feature Of newspaper writing:
"rhe man Of letters would have to recog-
nize the fact that there was nowadays
no such hard and fast line between liter
allure and journalism as once existed, but
that from various causes the boundary
was being ever more and more ohliter-
ated." This is true enough. II has also
been said that Our newspapers every day
become more literary and our books more
amateurish. This also. broadly speaking,
is correct. Some Of the best and brightest
Of our literature now appears IN the daily
and weekly journals and some OF the
most amusing of our books are really re-
prints from the newspapers.
