| the proprietor of a print-shop, with
whom he remained for two years. and
then continued to California. In San
Francisco he resumed his work as a
printer, sending meanwhile anony-
nous contributions to the newspapers
which were published But writing, as
side issue, did not satisfy him, and
he resigned his position at the case to
become reporter. In a short time
he was assistant city editor and then
city editor, filling the latter position
on both the Cali and Chronicle and
going to the Examiner in similar
capacity on cabled request from it's
owner, Mr.. Hearst. While acting as
city editor, then news editor, night
editor, and finally literary editor on
the Examiner he wrote several short
pieces of fiction which attracted more
than the usual amount of attention.
During the time that he was thus
writing and filling various executive
newspaper posts he was increasing
his experience and knowledge of life

plored the Great Oregon Cave, and
printed a series of descriptive articles
upon it which were widely copied. In

stories which he afterward wrote.

picked the idea up at Nome. The

Alaska, is known to all book readers.

that the Socialists, or any other body

"a Chicagoan named Littledale play
ed with me in amateur theatricals in
my early youth" said well known
actor.
"Littledale in one of our shows had
to leap into a river in order to escape
from q wild beast.
''The stage was so arranged that the
river was invisible. Littledale was to
leap and disappear, striking soft
mattress in the wings, and at the same
time a rock was to be dropped in a
tub of water to create splash.
"But, though the leap worked all
right in rehearsal, .on the night of ac-
tual performance it went wrong. There
was neither mattress nor tub there
When poor Littledale jumped he fell
eight feet and landed on an oaken
floor with a crash loud enough to wake
the dead, and there was no splashing
water to drown the crash, by Jove.

splash and hearing instead the thun
