For thirty years MT. Mum has been Ion the road" It was in these tray els that he picked up his great charac- ter, Uncle Terry" the lighthouse keeper. Here and there the author salesman found the other people that he put into his book. That is why they are so life-like Mr Mum is now fifty three years old. He did not have the advantage of a college education. He helped to put his brother through Yale instead. That brother is now one of the legal lights of the Northwest.
 All the while Charles Clark Mum has been plodding along at his silver ware business. Even now that his first book, published by Lee & Shep- ard, Boston, has sold to the number of 35,000 copies in a few months, he has expressed no intention of giving up his business for authorship.
