The Irish writer and lecturer, Seu-
mas MacManus, who is to appear here
at st. Mary's auditorium Thursday
evening, January 10, where he will de-
liver his lecture-story, "a Merry
Ramble Round Ireland" tells the
story of how he first struck oil in
America. AS the mountain school
master of little school among his ma
tive hills Of Donegal-though still a
boyle one day turned the key in his
school-crammed pile of manu-
scripts into bag-sailed for America
in the steerage of an Atlantic liner
and, landing in America, stuffed his
pockets with manuscripts, asked some
one whom he met to give him the name
and address of our leading American
magazine, and then walked, straight
as he could find his way, to the Office
of Harper's. Presenting himself in his
homespuns, with the smell of peat
still upon them, to the genial and
amiable Mr.. Alden, the editor Of Har-
per's, he unfolded his personal story,
and intimated that he had in his pocket
several Irish tales, the fruits of his
boyhood's experiences among his own
hill people. Mr.. Alden, who was very
interestedly looking at and listening to

the boy in the homespuns and the
Irish brogue, said that IL the stories
in his pocket were anything like as
interesting as the story he had just
told him, he was eager to see them.
The young Irish schoolmaster instant
ly surprised Mr.. Alden by producing
no less than seven stories from var
ious hiding places. Mr.. Alden said that
instead of giving these into the hands
of a reader, he would put them in his
bag, take them home with him. and
read them himself without delay. This
is Wednesday, said Mr.. Alden, and
l think that II you will drop in here
on Friday morning, / will be able to
give you an opinion on these-at least,
,ome criticism and advice that MAJ
be helpful to you, stranger, In a
strange land"
Seumas MaeManus says he camped
outside Harper's Friday morning, wait
ing for 1t to open. When he got au-
dience of Mr.. Alden, that genial old
gentleman leant back in his chair, lit
his cigar, contemplated him with a
smile, and remarked, well, ! believe
that six Of these seven stories you
gave me will suit Harper's." The Irish
schoolmaster had his breath taken
away momentarily. Perhaps said
Mr.. Alden, you'd like to get paid for
one of them right away
Seumas MacManus did not dissent
from suggestion that was doubly
gratifying because of the fact that he
had to walk seventy-seyen blocks that
morning to save car-fare-a fact
which, however, he did not tell Mr..
Alden. The editor Of Harper's, picking
up one of the stories, allie Cannon's
First and Last Duep afterwards the
first Of MacNIanus's stories to be pub
lished in Harper's), said: well, sup
pose pay you for this one today. How
much shall make out check for?
The mountain schoolmaster, his mind
barking back to the payment Of two
and a half dollars for three years
work, hadn't enough courge to sug-
gest to the editor that 1t might be
work, hadn't enough courage to sug-
tor might instantly turn him back all
his work on the ground that he tried
to be extortionate. So he wisely re-
piled to Mr.. Alden: you know its
value better than l." Said Mr.. Alden:
"As your name and work are yet I'M
known, how would 500 strike you for
this story?"
MacManus says 1t struck him dumb!
And he adds that the moment he got
out Of Mr.. Alden's office with the
check, he let no grass grow through
his toes until he had turned 1t into
cash, fearing lest the Harper Brothers
might get wind Of their EDITORS tenn
