CHANCE MEETING WITH
- FAMOUS LITERARY man
Judge Spooner Had Novel Experience
With Harry Leon Wilson, Author
of The Spenders."
Minneapolis Tribune:

Minneapolis Tribune:
Judge Marshall Spooner of Be-
midi, Mimi, who is registered at
the Hotel Vendome, basked in the
presence of literary greatness for a
whole day on a recent trip to the
coast before he "'tumbled" to the
identity of his chance acquaintance.
1t was while the judge and few
congenial spirits were playing crib
bage in the after cabin of the
Oriental Limited, that they got
mixed up with real live genius
who was travelling incognito to Sc
cure material for another of his
charming tales of Western life. He
just butted in," like an ordinary
mortal, and asked if he might take
hand in the game, which was
short-handed enough to nicely &C
commodate him. He was tall,
well-built, smoota-faced young man
of pronounced blonde type. Set
we'll apart in his massive forehead
were pair of remarkable eyes,
which were never weary. In fact,
they were so actively engaged in
the observation of every detail of
their owners immediate surround
ings that Judge Spooner began to
suspect the man who "chipped in -
was Plnkerton detective.
Conversation touched on all live
topics of the day. The blonde man
Inadvertently spoke of the royalties
coming to him on a certain book.
What book is that?" asked Judge
Spooner.
why the name of it is The
Spenders.
And you are"
Harry Leon Wilson-that's my
name, SIR
The author of one of the most
fascinating of America,4 novels had
been spending the summer with
Booth Harrington in Indiana, dram
atizing the Hoosier novelist's works.
He had just finished dramatizatior
of Tarkington's most recent success
The Conquest of Canaan"
Mr.. Wilson was editor of Puck
before he took to writing seriously
The most unassuming, unosten
tatious man, with absolutely no sug
gestion of the literary feller' about
him that I ever met" was Judge
Spooner's comment.

Undoubtedly the walk of "Old Man

record-breaking time, had much To do
with the revival of walking. Yet the
beginning of the fad goes perhaps a
little farther back.

to Washington his love for walking was
heralded from one end of the country
to the other.
His short. powerfully built figure be-

walk OF ten miles was nothing for him,
and many problems of state were decided
while the President hustled over the
roads with any fellow official lucky
enough to have the speed to keep up
with him.

the nation that there was enjoyment IN
