QUEER OCCUPATION FOR POET
Walt Whitman, Not Being Able to
Make Both Ends Meet With His
Poetry, Went Into Commerce.

walt Whitman wasn't as successful
as the English poet, Alfred Noyes, in
making both ends meet with his
poetry" said a Philadelphia editor.
Waits muse had nothing like the
shallow, commonplace, commercial
quality of the young Englshmans.
81 used to visit Walt Whitman In
his old age in his little two-story
wooden house In Mickle street, Cam
den. One day-it's pleasant souvenir
this, of old-time Philadelphia-one day
In December said to him:
"'Well, Walt, how are things going
this winter? Any Christmas subscrip-
tions needed?'
mo said the old poet. No, indeed.
I'm working now. I'm working for
George w. Childs. He pays me $50 a
month
Good said I. And what's your
Job with Childs?'
Riding in the horse cars said
Walt ride about the city, talk to
the drivers and conductors. / find out
which of them need winter overcoats,
and, guessing their size, notify
Childs, who fits them out forthwith.
It's easy, pleasant work, and it saves
Childs a lot of trouble over measure
ments and so forth"
