Memories Of School Days.

Events of Authors Youth.

Otis F. Wood. one of the authors Of

who is responsible for tine comicai
pictures of Simon and Nose which read
ers of The Times see very Sunday in the
colored supplement. Mr. Wood furnishes
the ideas which are in turn worked out
by the artists after which they go to
the colored presses and appear bright
and entertaining every Sunday morning
In conversation with a Times reporter
yesterday. Charles Brown. Mr.. Woods
co-worker had much to say regarding
his friends original ideas and his
methods of working them out. Mr. Wood
in his boyhood days was placed in a
school for youngsters near Philadelphia,
the principal of which advertised far
and wide for wild and unruly urchins
Nine long years did young Wood put in
at this school and many of the pranks
which Simon INDUCES in in the Sunday
comics are but memories of his days at
school.
Little Nose. Simon's inveterate com
panion, is a small negro boy whom
Wood befriended To this pickaniny he
gave clothes and food for many months
and during the winter permitted the
little African TO sleep under his bed.
for all of which the latter was truly
grateful Little did either boy dream
that Jim Crow would be immortalized
in later years as Nose who with Simon

Simon is made to pass through a series
of stages from mischievous youth to
maturity. and at the end of the play
appears for the first time in the attire
of fuil-fiedged man. long pants, fancy
vest. frock coat and high nat. The music
of Simple Simon Simple" has much to
do with the success OF the piece, and
while the score is from the pens of

OF Simon's opening song very aptly de-
scribe his character:
.'Oh Simple Simon Simple's

There are few closer students or the

for he has carefully studied every Pc
culiarity adherent to the character ne

to his mental conception, or historic ois-
cernment of the delineation. they an au-
