Fleeting Fame.

"But who is Artemus Ward? One
sees him quoted occasionally in the Eng,
lish press, but something tells me that
he was-or maybe is-an American"
Thus a writer In the esteemed Spring
field Republican, and apparently, as far
as the context shows, in all seriousness.
So much for the heeting fame OF the
greatest American fun maker of his gen.
GRAFTON, who died, still a young man, 10
England As years ago. There was moth
ing English about him except his popu'
larity as lecturer there. and his death
there from consumption. he sleeps
under a modest, moss-covered stone in
the little cemetery of his native town OF
Waterford, Me.-he spoke Of it as IVA
terford, not far from Rumford." And on
the stone is his real name, name thai
now means far less to the world thar
that under which his droll and whimsi
cal humor won him the unstinted ap
plause of bis OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Farrar Browne.
Ii is of interest TO note that the lead
ing American humorist of the generation
before Artemus Ward was also Maine
man, though his name is even less heard
to-day-Seba Smith, a native of Buck
field, whose wit and satire made him a
national figure in the politics of his day.
And Maine likewise gave the world the
leading American humorist in the gener,
alton that followed Artemus Ward-Bil
Nye, a native of Shirley, near Moose
head Lake. All of them died far from
their native state, and the world which
foroets its fret and care in laughing at
them and with them forgets them almost
as quickly as its laughter dies away

In this connection it is also interesting
TO know that what is sometimes called
