for his later positions on the Pitts

the Cleveland Leader.
So this gifted artist and humorist
has touched life at many angles He
has watched the great human COM
edy in cities great and SMALL east,
west north and south. He is a vo-
tary of music and devotee of art, a
trained writer as well as picture
maker. The breadth of his interests
like the range of his experiences, en-
riches his work in his favorite field.
Such man, full of temperament,
quick to smile, instant in sympathy,
keen in both mental and visual i'm

which come to the readers of the

Mrs. Harvey.
What calamity is distressing you

"How easily you women are imposed

A LEADING AMERICAN CAR
TGONiST.
Ole May, CartoOnist on the Cleve-
land Leader, Is a Decatur COun-
ty Product.

In the issue of the Editor and
Publisher and Journalist of May
10th, appears well written article
by BENJAMIN Karr, on the rise OF Ole
May the famous cartOOnist on the
Cleveland Leader, who ranks as one
of the best cartoonists in America.
Mr.. May is Decatur county pro-
duct, having been born at Pleasan-
ton June "a, 1873, and has many
relatives and friends residing in this
county at the present time. The
article will be read with considerable
interest by all.
When one of arts disciples and de-
votees is lowered with wide intelli-
gence, broad sympathies, quick per-
ceptions, humor and common sense,
loyalty and honor, only two things
are lacking to insure success--capac-
,ity for work and a fair chance, mean
ing chiefly enough health and
strength to make persevering indus
try possible. Everything else fol-
lows.
Ole May, cartoonist of the Cleve-
land Leader, is one of the living wit
nesses to the truth of this bit of
moralizing. His record is the proof.
And every day his work is making
that record stronger as well as long
er. He grows with his pictorial
chronicle of the times. He arrived
long ago, but he did not stop when
he gained success.
This versatile, many-sided news
paper worker is only thirty-nine
years old, having been born in Pleas
anton, Iowa, June "a, 1873, but he
has drawn pictures and written
copy of many kinds in Los Angel
es, Houston, Washington, Pitts
burgh and Cleveland. AS if that were
not variety enough, he played four
years in the marine band at Wash
ington; spent three years in Armour
& Co.'s law department at Chicago;
was a court reporter for two years in
Colorado Springs and Denver; work
ed two years for big coal company
in Ohio, and served the Pullman
Co. in Chicago and St. Louis.
1t will be seen that Ole May began
early and kept steadily at it after he
started. 1t is hardly necessary to
add that his various mercantile,
court, law office and industrial "jobs'
came before he found his true sphere
as a cartoonist. After he began to
earn his living as newspaper artist
he never wandered farther from that
field than making pen drawings for
a photo-lithographic concern in st.
Louis and drawing pictures for an
advertising agency in Chicago. The
musical interlude in the Marine Band
could hardly be counted break with

Leon Reporter. We did not sit down

is always such brave and manly
thing to do. All publishers know of
nice Geople who do that. They are
too big rabbits to go into the office
and knock the editor down and

frame, SO they write on the paper

had to spot the Reporter. Last week
it did not have a murder, nor
shooting scrape, nor a runaway, nor
a preacher running off with another
mans wife nor horse stealing, nor
a chicken thief arrested, nor scan

for a paper that misses all these
things. Otherwise the Leon Report
