Mr.. Dooley of Archey road has come te
his own. The genial old gentleman who
has delighted all of us for years in the col
umns of The Evening Post and the Journal
is an author. He has stepped from news
paper columns into the brightness Of Q
printed volume, bindings in his favorite
green, and letter press most excellent. What
Mr.. Hennessy will say of this advance Of his
friend we may never know, but the many
who have laughed land cried) with Martin
Dooley will cordially thank Finley Dunno
for making the sage of Archey road per
manent part of their libraries.
"Mr. Dooley in Peace and in War" (Small,
Maynard & co., is the title of the volume in
which Mr.. Dunno has grouped not all Of the
Dooley papers, but many of the best. Per.
haps those of us who find Saturday night
most melancholy without meeting with
Mr.. Dooley would have enjoyed some Of the
first appearances of the sage again, but
there is wine and meat sufficient in what is
given to hold forth the promise that com
plete "Dooley" may yet lie upon our tables
with the pipe, the tobacco jar and the other
things that we love best.
Martin Dooley does not belong to Chicago
alone. personally know that he has friends
in India, and cousin George Dewey" has
written from distant Manila his apprecia-
ton of his relatives tribute to himself
George Hecker, resident of Chicago,
begged me on his departure for Dawson
City last spring to forward him without
fail whatever appeared from Dooley. in
print At Old Point Comfort last October
Fighting Bob Evans of the Iowa spoke
of the delight he had found in Dooley'
philosophy. In Camp Wikoff saw many
a worn-out soldier boy enjoy his first hearty
laugh, after returning to native land, over
Mr.. Dooley's epigrams.
So Mr.. Dooley is international in his fame.
He has brought cheer and bits of sunshine
to all kinds of people in all kinds of places.
Surely, the sympathetic nature of Mr..
Dunno could ask for no higher honor than
that his creation of Dooley should have
been approved by the worlds heart Draw
ing-room applause is very nice, as is the
praise of academies, but better than these
the appreciation and affection of the CON-
mon people everywhere. Mr.. Dooley is one
of us.
"We're a great people," said Mr.. Hen
messy, earnestly.
1--WE ar-re,' said Mr.. Dooley. eve ARE
that. An tn best iv it is, that we know
we ARE
Kindly raillery on our conspicuous ma
tional faults is something in which Mr..
Dooley delights. He is intensely American
and a good hater of sham and pretense.
Social and political veneering is to him a
casket in which the best of men and women
is buried.
He says to Hennessy:
'They amt such lot iv diffrence between
th' bravest man in the wurruld an TIL
COW 'rdliest. Not such a lot. 1t amt ques-
ton iv morality, Hinnissy. I've knowed men
that wint to church ivry Sunday an holy
day reg'lar an give to tn poor an loved
their neighbors, an they wudden't defnd
their wives against murderer. An I've
knowed tn worst villyuns on earth that'd
die in their thracks to save stranger S
child firm injury"
which Mr.. Dooley SO deilgnteu 10 uiscuss
few months ago will not he forgotten by
any Of us, nor his famous Tampa mule
which finally met an untimely end through
smotherira under $4,000 pounds OF gum
cotton" hurled at it by the "Nesoovyus'
Dut more delicious than even these is the
hypothetical letter which Mr. Dooley would
have cousin George address to President
Mckinley after the fall of Manila:
