Failure of Mr.. Harris Recipe.

William Dean HoWellS said recently
that hard work in literature made
what the world calls "genius''-with a
brain, of course, to begin with. And
that recalls little story.
In conversation with Joel Chandler
Harris a friend said: You are one OF
the former authors, everything You
touch turns to gold. Life must be a
very smooth affair to YOU"
'On the contrary was the reply,
life is hard work on me. I get a good
deal of enjoyment out of it, but it's
more serious than you think"
But then, your genius
Genius? Bosh" he exclaimed. 'It's
hard work, I tell you! While some of
you fellows are sitting before the fire,
dreaming dreams and building castles
that crumble, I'm at a desk-at work.
1 haven't time to stare the fire out OF
countenance. I'd rather build log cab
ins on earth than loaf around among
the stars. And that's what 1 do.
nail myself to a chair and bend to The
work, and when you see it flowing pret-
ty fast you say, That's genius! Go to
work, my brother-go to work! Stick -
your desk, and you'll win"
A youthful literary aspirant who was
present said:
Il shall practice what you preach!"
And away he went and got him a
roller-top desk, and a fine, revolving
chair. and a ream of paper and all other
helps to literature" and he mailed
himself to the chair" and bent over
that desk for two weeks; but when he
next made his appearance, haggard
and worn, he said: We'll, I've been
there for two weeks, but-the woSk
won't come. It's no CO. tell you. DC
