Mr.. Bangs lives some of the time in
Yonkers and the remainder on subur
ban trains. He spends so much of his
time on swaying and joltins cars pur-
suing humorous thoughts at the rate Of
mile a minute that very few ever
manage to escape him.
Next to Mr. Bangs, the most conspic-
nous humorist in the United States at
present is probably Mr.. Finley Peter
Dunno, the creator of "Mr. Martin
Dooley," whose comments on the war
and on politics have made America
roar When Mr.. Doolev began his very
amusing remarks on the war, an observ-
ing newspaper man Of prominence in
New York declared that the author of
the Dooley sketches would undoubtedly
rank as the humorist of the Hispano-
American war That the prediction
was IL good one was shown by the great
fame that was speedily won by Finley
Peter Dunno Recently | met an eX-
/ Chicago newspaper man who is now
working in New York, and he made Il
remark that was somewhat amusing.
When | asked him if he knew Mr..
Dunno, he said that he had worked be-
side him a number of years ago and
that Dunno had little talent as Il news
paper man. He was a poor reporter. -
/ said my friend "and il was only when
some Irish dialect news story was to be
prepared that Dunno was of any par
ticular use. The estimates Of old
friends are not always accurate Mr.
Dunno may not have been very good
reporter, hut that he is certainly a good
newspaper man is evidenced by the fact
that he is the managing editor of tie
Chicago journal
