Usually the sheets went to the printers
without blot or erasure. Yet Mr..
Fields best productions were by no
means hastily done. A poem or story
grew in his mind for days. and some
times for weeks or months, before a
word of it was written. Finally its
turn came, and then the whole was set
down in all haste. Apparently there was
never lack of subjects. The trouble
lay mainly in the picking and choos-
ing. Realizing that his ability to do
good work was constantly increasing,
Eugene Field was slow to publish his
stories and poems in book form. His
volumes were issued because not even

Ho Won n Bride by Being Awkward
A Recent Wedding
A business man Of enviable standing
in Savannah, Ca, was married a few
days ago as a result of his own clumsi-
ness in a street car. Last summer he
started downtown to his Office one after
noon with large umbrella under his
arm. His mind was much preoccupied
with the details of a business venture
of some moment, and he was unaware
thst he carried the umbrella at a dan
gerous angle. Before he could reach
vacant seat the car gave lurch and he
was thrown off his balance. He was
conscious Of having struck somebody
with the umbrella and coincidentally
with his becoming aware of that fact a
woman just behind him emitted an
ear-splitting scream. Everybody jump
ed and looked and to his horror
the young man found that the point Of
his umbrella had come in contact with
the nose OF the young lady
seated just behind him. OF course
he apologized or tried, but 1t was like
apologizing for murder over the body of
the victim, for the ladys nose was
bleeding and she was almost in con-
vulsions with pain.
The car was stopped at the next
corner. where there happened to be a
drug store. and the young man. aided
and abetted by one or two elderly
ladies', who at once took lively interest
in the case. helped the young lady off
and into the store, and posted off after
a doctor. One was found, the unlucky
nose was soon put in working order
and the owner. attended by the mar
ried ladies. was sent home in a car
riage.
The young man took her address and
hunted up a mutual acquaintance. with
whom he called the next day to see
how the nose was getting along. The
