for an hour or thereabouts it seemed questionable if he would pull through. pen
 Didn't I tell you queer things kept happening in Bud Fishers vicinity? They do, and that is why Mutt and Jeff stick to him like brothers.
 Out of one prant into forty, a wild life they lead, while straphangers by the million applaud their antics. At one extreme, they captivate our Eli sons and Wepdells. At the other they make existence tolerable for curmud- geops of low degree. All the grades and types and classes in between adore them. In subway car the other day I laid a bound volums of Nut and Jeff" across my knees. Six stenogra- phers, a bank director, a jazz band Senegambian, three office boys, two washlaides, and a regular limousine lady with a lorgnette voice all had dotted lines through the air from their eyes to that enchanted volume. could see them. It has been like this ever since Mutt and Jeff first introduced themselves.
 Nut led off in San Francisco, on November 15, 1907, this illustrious per sonage was created, and imediately be- gan handing out tips on the races. Says Fisher 'I used to go to the races pretty regularly, and I would see fel- lows tearing around among the host lers, touts, owners, and bookmakers, trying to pick up tips which would make them some money. None was a heavy better, but they all looked as if they needed the money to feed their families. They showed more anxiety over their piking bet than the big plungers did.
 MUTT A REAL TYPE. T decided to make one of these race track frequenters the character of my strip, and so picked out a composite type. Heshad to be weak guy, so I made A. Mutt with no chin. He mus t be nosy to get the feedbag news, so MT Mutt had a long nose. Then he was tall and thin and angular so he could hustle"
 Immediately the San Franciscans took to reading Mutt each morning to learn what his tips on horses for that day were. As Jack" Wheeler tells us named real horses in real races at real odds. and he obtained his data from
The Birmingham age-herald., 1919-07-27

experts. His choice soon began to af- feet the odds at the track.
 "Jeffs introduction was by accident. At one stage of his meteoric career on the track Mutt became disgusted with the odds and the prices and the bets which the bookmakers would accept. He decided to change his headquarters to an insane asylum, where he could lay any price he wanted to on any horse and bet as much as he pleased, and none of the regular boarders at the asylum would complain.
 The scheme worked out to Mutt's entire satisfaction, though daily he was bothered by nuts" One morning a man interrupted Mutt while he was studying the dope sheet and told him he was William Shakespeare. Go away Shakes remarked Mutt, and don't bother me. I've the dope on winner
 ''The following day, Fisher had Ma poleon consult with Mutt This guest at the asylum believed he was the Great Emperor in all his glory. He was however, weak on geography. He ap- preached Mutt and said, have to report that I've just taken Vicksburg. Well, put it back and don't bother me. replied Mutt.
 "One morning a funny little fellow came along wearing boxing gloves.
 Who are your asked Mutt
 I'm James J. Jeffries," replied the new conner, and I want to fight you. But the tall fellow was too busy with his racing sheets, so the last picture of the strip showed James J. Jeffries down on the floor with Mutt's foot in his face and the owner of the foot quietly studying the form card It was the first time Jeff got his, but he was destined to receive it frequently in the years to come.
 From James J. Jeffries, then cham pon of the world, Jeff received his name. At first he was known as Little Jeffries, later as Jeffries. great character had been born"
 By way of explaining how he came te make him the type he is, Bud Fisher says. Tt is always the small nut whc believes he can whip anything in the world. The little filbert is constantly getting into messes and receiving the worst of it. To make him look foolish put whiskers on him.
 There are Mutt and Jeff fans who think Fisher has it in for Jeff. and

out to stretch their legs and a Mexi- can in front of the station offered Fisher a fighting cock for twenty dollars.
 Realizing what a glorious effect 1t would have on Villa if the Americans should arrive with that desperate bird as their mascot Fisher pulled off twenty, and the desperate bird was his. Since a fighting cock is hardly congenial fellow traveller inside car, Bud tied him up on the rear plat form. where two eating chickens were already tethered At the next stop he went to look after his pet. Lo and be- hold the eating chickens had killed the twenty-dollar fighting cock!
 After tour of Villas dominions, the train started off toward the border Though considerably Jagged and bored. by that time, Bud and the rest still wore their Villar buttons and kept up a pretense of being first-rate villistas Suddenly the train halted. Worse, it backed. Only one deduction seemed logical-namely. Carranzistas, out in force and blocking the way. In twinkling every Villa button disap- peared, to be replaced by a Carranza emblem. Safety first. And just inn agine Fishers hilarity on discovering that the train had merely run past a switch and was returning to it.
 If you look up Fisher in Who's Who" you will see that, unlike most artists. he calls his place of work an office, but unhappily Who's Who" fails to mention the remarkable office boy he once had-a volunteer office boy who cherished leanings toward art and Imagined that by hanging around Bud he could catch the germ.
 One afternoon Fisher and Meyer Marcus had been consuming charcoal tablets.t and the boy eyed their black eped teeth with perplexed curiosity. which. as was natural enough. they ob- served.

take the little fellows endorsements dreadfully to heart, and Fisher him self admits, I've always liked Mutt better for he was my first friend. However, lots of my readers have a weakness for Jeff, so let him get the best of 1t sometimes. I receive thous- angs of letters taking Jeff's part and requesting that he be given the edge in future. For long time a sort of circular was sent about which begged me. for the love of everything I held dear. to tell the writer whether Jeff would ever be as tall as Mutt. One day, to satisfy these writers, I made Jeff the tall one and Mutt short. Just for a change I told them.
 Now that you know how Mutt and Jeff began their careers, are you cur ious to know how Fisher begun his? Fortunately, I am in position to ans wer this question in his own words:

curious regarding the details in an article intended for moral uplift and the instruction of the young, I must leave them a bit vague. Suffice it that Bud cut glittering dash in the casino, where he acquired the reputation of a matchless plunger and, consequently, of a fellow incredibly rich.
 Meanwhile, those two wheel-chairs helped to sustain the illusion. So did the telegrams left around where any one could see them So, likewise, did the endless succession of small boys feverishly paging Bud. He had no difficulty in getting in with "the right people," They rallied around him. It was an affair, simply, of picking the "rightest" And presently a magnifi- cent heiress swan into his ken. Bud fell head and heels in love with her, and she accepted him. Thus the wager won.
