HE GOT THE INTERVIEW.
A Story of Amos Cummings and Sec.
rotary of State Seward.

1t was while Amos Cummings was
the Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun that he had a memora-
BILE interview with Lincoln's secretary
of state, Seward. Cummings received
orders one day to get certain infOrma-
ton from Secretary Seward without
fail, and accordingly he went to the
secretary's office to see him. Mr..
Seward did not receive the newspaper
man very cordially.
81 won't talk to a representative Of
The Sun on that subject" said the Sec
rotary. 81 am very busy. You are
taking up my time, young man, and
can't be bothered with YOU"
In an instant Cummings was boiling
with anger and hurt pride. He drew
himself up, looked the secretary
straight in the eyes and said:
you forget, sir, that there are three
parties to this interview"
"Three?" queried Seward in surprise.
"How do you make that out?"
"First, sir, there Is you. secretary OF
state and one Of the foremost figures
in the world of men of the day; second,
there is the correspondent Of the New
York Sun, who has come to you on q
perfectly proper GRAND in the service
of his newspaper, and, third, sir, there
Is an American citizen who considers
himself the equal of any man on earth
and who Will not be insulted by you or
any man alive!
The great Seward looked at Cum
mings and smiled.
"Sit down." he said, "and tell me
exactly what you want, young man."
The Sun not only got the news it
wanted, but also one of the best inter-
views with Seward ever published

UNFINISHED TALES.
Stories That Authors Begin and Find
1t impossible to Finish.

The Inability of an author to finish a
piece Of work that he has engaged to
do and has already actually begun is
not SO very uncommon thing 1t is
said that Dickens began "The Mystery
Of Edwin brood" without any cleax
conception in bis mind Of how the story
was going to turn out and that had he
not died, leaving it unfinished, he
would have found almost any ending
difficult to reconcile with certain hints
contained in the earlier chapters. We
remember u rather curious instance of
the same sort as having happened q
good many years ago, when the elder
Bonner was editing the New York
Ledger.
A very impecunious literary man sent
to Bonner the first chapters of a most
exciting story which gave promise Of
being just the sort of thing which
readers of The Ledger used to like.
The story was accepted and ran on un-
interruptedly and very successfully for
about four weeks, when all Of sudden
the authors invention gave out. For
the life Of him he could not go on with
the tale, and he had to 60 to Mr.. Rom
ner and say so frankly.
The next number of The Ledger ap-
peared without the expected install.
ment Of the story, but with a brief
note to the effect that, owing to the
sudden illness of its author, it's further
publication was temporarily suspend
ed. This was to give that embarrass-
ed person a chance to recover his In.
spiration. Mr.. Bonner asked him to
dinner, took him driving and in var1-
GUS ways tried to brace him up for
further work, but 1t was Of no use
He simply could not go on, and so the
rest Of the story never saw the light

A politician who was very near to
Senator John Sherman in the campaign
of 1892 says lie will never forget the
effect that the first kodak picture of
himself had upon the senator. Mr..
Sherman had been speaking the night
before in the Academy Of Music, Phil
adelphia, and the newspaper artists
had taken some lifelike snap shots of
him In many attitudes. To the poll
tician the senator said, upon looking
over the newspapers the following day
