A MASTER or THE ART OF
NEWSPAPER LETTER
WRITING.

William E. Curtis, the famous cor
respondent of The Chicago Record
Herald. probably has a more enviable
position and is read by more men and
women daily than any other news
raper writer in the United States.
He can go anywhere in the world
md write on any live topic that he
chooses, so long as he interests his
hundreds of thousands of readers.
He has travelled several times around
the world and written entertaingly
about almost every country under the
sun.
Every day in the year without va
cation or intermission, Mr.. Curtis has
n two-column letter in Record Herald.
The remarkable thing about these
letters is their power to interest all
classes of readers. Women read them
with the same enjoyment as men,
Whether the subject be politics,
travels, a new kink in the Monroe
doctrine, an interview with the new
est money king or the personal his
tory OF an Egyptian mummy, the
story is always told with limpid
simplicity and an unfailing sense of
interest that keeps one reading to
the end. No other correspondent now
living can match the record of Nlh.
Curtis as popular purveyor of time
Iy and useful information. Whether
he writes from his home in Washing
ton or from the wilds of Mexico, from
the gay streets of Paris or some re-
mote temple in India, he always has
something fresh and entertaining to
tell.
M. Curtis began his newspaper ca
reer in Chicago as reporter in 1872,
speedily becoming managing ed
itor, resigned to serve as secretary
of government commission sent to
ties so brilliantly there that Secre-
tary James G.. Blaine placed him at
the head of the new bureau of Amer
lean republics. He is almost as wide
ly known in South America and Eu-
rope as in the United States At the
worlds fair in Chicago he was the
executive head of the Latin American
department. He is a member of al
most every learned society in Wash
ington and many in Europe.
Nobody outside of the Record-Her-
old office knows under what flag Mr..
Curtis will next be hanging up his
hat, but everybody knows that,
whether it be in Patagonia or
Kamchatka, he will find something
interesting to write about Merely
to read his daily news-letters is lib
leral education. He does his full
share toward making The Chicago
Record Herald the best home newspa
per in the West.
