Called me a fiippertigibbet And ]
laughted right out loud while !
was interviewing him for a New
York paper. Home again!
Harry p. Station, circus press
agent de luxe. declares that very
few American cities are highly in
dividual. He has criss-crossed the
! country scores OF times as herald
| fer the greatest show on earth"
He declares he has felt a perfect
sameness in towns of relative size
ali over the United States. They
are about as different superficially
as SO many boxes of candy. Wheth-
er or not a uniform american
type" of manhood has been pro.
duced, the American city has be-
come standardized.
1t is quite surprising the vogue
E. w. Howe, of Potato Hill. Kans.
has in Manhattan. In six afternoon
papers OF the same day ! noted on
the editorial pages of all extracts
from E. w. Howe's Monthly. Hard
ly a week passes but what he Is
1 feOkca IN sothc
in the morning papers. His month
ly peculiarly has its greatest cir
culation down in the White Light
district. where it is supposed to be
all gloss and glitter and that do
nestle life and rural existence are
for amiable fat-heads. His human
philosophy seems to have just the
right kind of punch to whet the
appetite of jaded Broadway. When
Howe comes to New York very few
know about it until he is on his
way back home. He does not seek
the white flame of publicity. but
when the reporters and sob sisters
do finally corner him here. his life
is going to be miserable for q few
hours at least.
1t Is q queer world. I know two
sterling young fellows who were
MANNED for life fighting on the 9TH
er side. Their names never showed
up in New York newspapers. Then
l picked up a morning paper and
in an eight column head read where
a prize fighter sustained a half
inch abrasion over the eye.
