Arthur Brisbane,
Editor, Dies at Il
Work Known to Millions;
Column Popular in This
Newspaper.

New York, N. with the
death of Arthur Brisbane Christ
mas morning, the world lost its
most widely known and most
widely read newspaper writer
and editor. The veteran COM
mentator, whose column ''This
Week" appeared regularly in
this newspaper, died of heart
disease while he slept. He was
seventy-two.
True to the Brisbane tradition, he
kept up the terrific pace of his work
to the last. When he was stricken
late in the afternoon of Christmas
eve he had almost finished his col
umn, To-day" which appeared in
many large daily newspapers, prin-
cipally those of William Randolph
Hearst's string. He was forced to call
upon his son, Seward, %, to complete
it. 1t was the first time in his life
Arthur Brisbane had not finished

It was only few hours afterward
Mr.. Brisbane fell asleep in his Fifth

were his physicians, DR.. Leopold

he had married in 1912; his son,

CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS dis
~ covered tobacco when he dis
covered America in 1892. He car
ried back to Europe fantastic tales
of how the barbaric natives "per-
fumed themselves by swallowing
the smoke of sweet-smelling herbs"
Other early explorers reported
that Indians smoked tobacco by in
haling it, not through the mouth
as we do now, but through the
nose. Their pipes were shaped in
the form of a Y, the two points
of which could be inserted in the
nostrils.
When first brought to Europe, the
tobacco plant was supposed to have
miraculous healing powers, and
physicians forced people to smoke
it for their health. Later, as the
practice grew more common, clergy
and kings professed to see traces
of immortality in it, and passed the
most stringent laws to stamp it out.
It even became crime punishable
by death to smoke tobacco in sew
eral European countries.
It was not until smoking became
fashionable that it really gained
popular following. Sir Francis
Drake brought back a complete
smoking set from America in 1886
and presented it to Sir Walter
Raleigh. Just before he went to
the scaffold for political treason,
Raleigh smoked pipe full of Vir-
GINA blend.
This Immediately impressed the
courtiers as gallant gesture, and
smoking was soon rife in the Eliza
bethan court. Even Queen Eliza
beth is said to have enjoyed a sur
reptitious puff or two in the privacy
of her boudoir.

Seven or eight members of the
group regularly maintain racing

a giant slug who can outsquirm by
two to one any ordinary snail.
The races, usually run on the

in length from six inches, for juve-

veterans. Half-inch handicaps are
sometimes given noted sluggards.

Mr.. Brisbane was wealthy. It is
reported that his yearly salary at
the time of his death was $3.50, 900.
In addition, there was the return on
his extensive real estate holdings.
Arthur Brisbane was born in Buff
falo, N. Y, in 1864. He attended the
public schools and then, forsaking a
college education, he became a re-
porter on the old New York Sun at
10. Yet his rise to the position he
held in the world of journalism at

When William Randolph Hearst
came from California and bought
the New York Journal he hired Mr..
Brisbane-at reduction in salary
of almost so per cent. But there was
an agreement that as the circulation
increased, SO would his compensa,
ton. His earnings on the World
were multiplied in almost no time.
The association with Hearst be-
came a lifelong friendship, and Mr..
Brisbane soon became regarded as

the chain of newspapers. When he
died, Mr.. Hearst said: 81 know that
Arthur Brisbane was the greatest

It was Arthur Brisbane who was
credited with bringing the trend of
newspaper style down to earth"
He believed that newspapers should
be written for the ordinary man, not
the intelligentsia. He wrote that way
and his columns appealed to col

chants and farmers.
He dictated his 1000 to 1000 crisp,
