He went over to England and was
lionized to death. Whistler, the impos-
sible, fell in love with him.
Phil May sat at his feet. Gladstone
said he was the one American he ever
saw who was the kind of man all Ameri-
cans tried to pretend to be.
Lord Salisbury put off trip abroad
to meet him and hear him tell stories of
the days when his one ambition was to
be circus clown. Henry Irving said
he was the best story teller he'd ever
heard. He was dined and wined and
run after, and his one grievance was that
these great men should so plainly show
that they we're weak in some way by
making such a fuss over nobody like
himself. He's SO simple that he's the
most complicated man ever knew.
Ambition, vanity, love of power-he has
heard the names of these things--he
doesn't know what they mean.
The citizen. (Honesdale, Pa.) 1908-1914, 1909-02-05

If he hadn't been famous cartoonist
he'd have been famous animal painter.
Or he would have been famous singer
he has baritone of gold-or he'd have
been a famous sculptor or a famous
speaker.
He's genius-his pictures are only
one way of showing it. Ihe great secret
of his marvellous influence isn't in his
pictures-it's in the man. Wiwfred
