several other stories that were selling

Pedler Wrote BEST Seller"

CSIVcu 1IOu ueT I1OFclS LII d largo W.
ange grove, and she is not the only
writer who has put earnings from
story-writing into Florida land. Scion
Robinson put considerable part of
his earnings from his very popular f1c-
ton into Florida lands, coming to the
state only four or five years after the
close of the Civil war;"
Scion Robinson! l had not heard
that name for so long time that l
had almost forgotten that he was at
one time deemed very successful
writer of romances, one Of his books
having sale in excess OF one hundred
thousand copies and standing a good
second for some years to Uncle
Toms Cabin" in point of popularity.
Scion Robinson was born on a
scraggy farm in eastern Connecticut.
and learned the carpenters trade
when boy. He gave that up when
he was a young man and became a
pedler. That Shift strange as It
may seem, was the turning point Ut
his career, and how this was the Gaze
Scion Robinson, in the latter years Of
his life, used frequently to tell his
friends in these words:
If l have had any success as a
writer, it was due to the opportunities
which my early carer as a pedlGr
throughout Connecticut gave me. As
a pedler used to take great interest
In quaint, original characters whom
met, and I learned in that way the
habit Of observation and of discrimi-
mating observation. I learned, too, q
great deal about farming, and I began
to write something for the newspapers
descriptive of farming life. In that
way I became acquainted with Horace
Greeley and he offered me a place
upon the New York Tribune.
well, the same habit of observa-
ton that had fallen into when l was
a pedler l adopted when I accepted
Greeley's offer and became a newspa-
per writer in New York. I saw many
things quaint, humorous and pathe-
tic-in New York life just as l had
seen mary things of like nature
while l was pedling my wares
throughout the country towns of Con-
necticut Then, one day, wrote
sketch bssed upon something which
saw. It was printed the next day.
1t seemed to touch popular chord,
and was asked to expand the sketch
and did 10. In that way my book,
Hot Corr was written and sold in
excess Of hundred thousand copies
within a year.
1T was nothing but little sketch
of New Tork life as I saw 1t, and
never should have written that story,
or, in fact done any other writing, but
for the happy necessity which CON-
PEELED ne to give up my trade as
carpentff-for that was injuring 10y
health-and adopt the vocation OF a
pedler, where I learned to use my
eyes Discriminatory"
