How Wraith n,l Fame Crew Out of
null of Wrapping Vmpr and Couple
or ItimI IVneiU Ha Story of "Mjr
rartner."
Hartley Camplioll Lad about four years of
such exquisite enjoyment a is permitted to
very few men. Hut ho lucked moral fitter
and Lin great nnceeuwa overwhelmed him.
When he found money rolling in iu a fashion
that roiiii.xl really great wealth in a very
few year he seemed to have nought excite
ment of a different kind, which should bul
nnoe the exhilaration and surprise that he
found in the splendid change of fortune that
canio iu a uight. TlnHafegunrd for men of
Caiupt-H'g teineraiuent at aii'-lj times is tho
family, and he hud a diurtuing one. But bo
wnt his to i:uroo, ojid although ho lavUhed
ull tho money they milled ujion them, yet he
was lj oud tho restraining influences of do
mesticity, and it i no doubt partially duo to
this that he is now dead as ho has been intel
lectually dead for two years or more.
We suppose that Campbell's career will be
come historic as that of the ono American
jiot an actor who made a distinct pecuniary
ticcett.-i an a playwright. It is, indeed, a pity
that ho should have collapsed on the thresh
ed of a career which, with a man of sterner
resolve and greater self control, might per
il .-rpt have uraJleled that of any of the win
ners of great iecuniary prizes in dramatic
-composition. The fact that Campbell actu
ailly became famous and stepiied over the
threshold which difjdes ;overty from wealth
fu ono night is kuonn td every one', ut
tV-ro aro some interesting aiul highly sug
te; live incidents conuected therewith, which
it is possibly to tell for the first time.
In the ifvly sp.ng of 1S79 Campbell turned
upin'Nev. York- almost in extremity, lie
was in.k-l.to.1 to friends for tho bed on which
he slept, and Vhen friend
ho was frequei-aly oon."elled to 6 hungry,
lie haunted out or two newspajHT offices,
and sold a little matter, am." ww extremely
grateful for tho aid thereby ob?JueL
great a.s was his poverty, ho haS c J
ttcteri.stio Irish way of living iu tho l0"
and never lietraying auy of tho servilitJ'N
clestioiideticy which usually beset the persou
who is far to tho bad ecuniarily.
One day in June, 1S79, Campbell met a
friend on Broadway. The day was warm,
and yet Campbell's root ho always wore a
long tailed coat buttoned up to tho
chin. All sorts of reflections were jiossiblo ut
this queer midsummer garb, but Campbell
was as light and trifling as though he had a
tirJ: ook in his jtocket and a breakfast in
liis Rtomai-h. Tho friend pretended that he
was ju.st going to lunch and invited Camp
bell to go with him. If the playwright did
jiot understand the delicacy of the iuvitation
wh'.ii it was given, he could not have failed
to do bo when he saw the lunch, and be paid
his entertainer tho compliment of eating a
tenderloin steak as if he were bungry. As
they separated Campbell's friend said: "I
suspect your ship hasn't come in, Bartley,
.r. i id I want you to tako this to remember me
y." Tiio "this" was a $. bilL Campbell
took it with eusy grace, smiled, declared he
would return it with interest, and he did. lie
afterward said that this $5 bill was tho turn
ing ixint iu his fortune. With it he bought
mo paper and a couple of lead pencils. The
paper was of tho cheapest kind of white
wrapping paper, and on it in two days' tinie
lie wrote that act of "My Partner" which
mailt) his fortune
With n wad of this paper in his pocket he
nailed out of his lodgings to find L lis
Aldricb, who had won repute iu Joaquin
J.Iiller's play of "The Danites." Aldrich
gave a sigh of resignation when Campbell
cornered him, and thought the easiest way to
rid himself of what ho feared would be a bore
was to permit Campbell to read the play.
The playwright, with his flimsy sheets ill
hand, liegan. At first Aldrich was bored,
then entertained, then interested, then ex
cited, and then, with dramatic enthusiasm,
nibraced the colhirless playwright. Aldrich
became moro enthusiastic than Campbell,
nd promised at once to buy tho play and
jravo tho playwright some earnest money on
tho spot. So cuthasiastic was Aldrich that
ho wanted to mouut the play and produce it
ut onco.
Behold, then, on the next morning an ambi
tious author with some money and a strug
gling play wright with none bound for Stam
ford, Conn., to see A. M. Palmer. The man
ager also sighed when ho saw them, and de
rlincd ieremptorily to listen to any proposi
tion respecting the production of a play. Ho
was tirud, he said. He wanted to take his
summer vacation in peace. Besides, he was
on the point of going to New York and could
not listen to them. Campbell's spirits came
to the rescue. "You'll have an hour ou the
train," he said, "and nothing to do. You
.cau hear the play and pass the time away,
nyway." They secured two seats in the
far, turning them so they would face. Pal
mer sat in the rear ono and Campbell and
Aldrich faced him. Tho expression on Pal
mer's face would have appalled a more timid
uvau than Campbell. But he began to read.
Palmer listened indifferently at first, but he
ended by wiping his eyes. lie was affected
to tears the first time and last time in his ex
lerienco as a manager. Said he, when they
reached New York, "You may have the
Union Square theatre if you will mount and
produce tho play. I will risk the rental on
tho success of it."
Mr. Campbell said to the writer when hit
narrated the above history in 1SS3 that t
week after .that play was produced be bad
' received propositions for plays which, could
ho have . entertained them, would have
brought him $40,000 in cash. lie also de
clared that during no season since the play
was produced up to that time, the winter of
1SS2, bad his each receipts been less than
10,003, and at one season be had made
nearly double that. lie declared that ho had
$00,000 invested in securities, which could be
.turned into cash on the spot, and be esti
mated himself to be worth at least $150,000,
lie then expected to make $500,000 within
five years, but said that ho had determined
to take all the profits of bis play himself
ind not allow actors or managers to take the
cream. Mr. Palmer thinks that Campbell,
lisd he poeressed good business sense and
moral strength, would very likely have real
ized this sum. Ho had caught the public ;
car. He bad discovered eractly what the '
great masses of theatregoers like and knew !
Jiow.to utilize it, and be had gained sufficient '
capital to carry on bis enterprises, but be is I
another one of those who endure the sor-
rows and trials of poverty with far greater j
success than the excitement of iro3perity. !

- FATAL SUCCESS OF
AMERICAN PLAYWRIGHT.

Why is It that &s s rule fat men are o much
more amorous than thin menf Is it that they
grow fat on the pleaitaut pastime of making
love, while more intellectual pursuits run to
skin and bone? Many fat men are simply
rather stupid, good nulured and inordinately
vain; they are generally the last, and it may
be that the pleasant sensation of vanity is
good nourishment. But it is surprising how
often, given the opportunity, tho talk of fat
men runs to flirtation or to fooL Of course
I don't mean to say that a fat nun always
talks of various dishes any more than that
his conversation with a woman usually in
cludes an offer of marriage. On the con
trary, peihaJ, knowing his own weakness,
ho is more chary of his proposals than are his
lea uer brethren; by the same token he does
not oienly diwourse on food, :but ho will
amble off gently in its direction.
He will tell you of the best dining places
in every rontinental city ho hoi visited, or
remark on the wretched cooking here, the
insufficiency of service there. Perhaps he
will tell you of his grajn-s or the size of his
cucumliers, though grapes and oucumlers
are not much in his way. He sometimes
prides himself on his cellar, but ho will
of tener know the ingredients of an out of the
way curry, or have at his fingers' ends the
names of places where you can get choice
aud curious dishes.
So in talking to women his conversation
runs to little complimonts, arxia semblance
of love making; he talks of marriage, hedges
round it, aud smiles and looks up to see if
they are pleased. When he sjMJaks of women
it is from the old fashioned point of vfow
that he considers them, for he is too fat to
hurry on and catch up advanced ideas. A
woman, he thinks, should be prettj-, irrev
erent, saucy and given to fcmiliug and blush
It is by a blush or a smile that )npn of
iis typ? OX caught. She has no business to
know anythir about books, except in a su

husbands in particular.
I have frequently noticed another curious
trait; it is that after the first few indulgent
minutes ho diverts bis conversation to bis
own unx, and will almost ignore niifl, even
(il a party of half a dozen, for as a rule good
i .-"cdiug is not hi strong point. There ore
..(icms, of course, and I have known
some chJ'rn,S ,es- ' a" on,y speaking pf
tho majority " we a girl I would pray
heaven to savexme from a fat man. Well it
has.
Many fat men have" ppde love, or tried to
make love to me, but comparatively rew
have come to the point. 5ur fat man is
cautious, and does not commit himself to a
direct offer unless he is certain that be means
it, aud is equally certain that he will be ac
cepted. As a rule he is certain of tup latter,
for modesty is not his besetting virtue; be
sides, he is of tho type that thinks all women
are sighing for matrimony, longing for it as
the one grand treat of their lives, and of a
refusal it is difficult to make him believe the
reality. Lady Lindesy in Temple Bar.

The World's Oldest Rose Buslu
The oldest rose bush in the world is at
Hildersheim. It was planted more than 1,000
years ago by Charlemagne in comroemorar
tion of a visit made ham by the ambassador
of the Caliph Haroun-al-Raschid, of "Arab
ian Rights" fame. A few years afterward
when Louis the Pious, the son of Charle
magne, was bunting in the neighborhood,
moss was said in the open air. On returning
to bis home, the officiating priest found that
the holy i macro was missing. Returning to
to the spot where mas bad been said, he dis
covered the missing image in the branlips pf
a wild rose tree. As it miraculously evaded
his grasp he went back to Louis and his suite
and them of tho wonder. They all
rushed to the spot find fell on their knees be
fore the ndraculous bush. A tthpdrol was
built above it, its roots being inclosed in a
sort of coffin shaped vault, under the middle
altar of the crypt. This crypt was built iu
theyvar 818, and ith Jhe lose tree it sur
vived a fire which' destroyed all the restpf
the cathedral in 114& The roots are over
1,000 years old. The rose plant was, when
described a few years ago, still living and
bloonr ing profusely, and wa twenty.-six feet
high, covering thirty-two feet of wall,
though the stem was only two inches in di

In this big City of Mexico, with rich
houses, great churches, electric lights, street
cars, juxurlpug shops and all the appjiances
of civilization, tliure is not a single, solitary
cafe where a lady can go without a male es
cort to take an ieo or a light lunch. This is a
humbug, and no wonder Mexican women are
beginning, as they learn of foreign ways, to
enter a protest against this selfish system,
which turns a boy of 14 loose iuto a world of
temptations, and forbids a modest girl the
most innocent freedom. I have heard a
lovely Judy, ihfc m&t Lr ut ft large family.
say that she would feel unoomforiahle to so
with her daughters iuto the principal restau
rant here to order ices. But let her take a
hobbledehoy boy along and the proceeding
we'll'! be; proper enough. Greut is the magic
of trousers.' ThVoesrtning tor the Mexican
ladies to do is to get up a social revolution.
and inform "Pepe" end "Pancho" that they
will no longer be governed by the ghosts of
dead end vanished Moors, whose sole living
representative ue found iu the mct do
graded corner of Africa. If nearly 1,900
j-ears of Christianity have not advanced civ
ilization in a great Christian city so that the
mothers of families and the charming daugh
ters of t.boao mothers can go about in public
enjoying all innooeuc liberties, why then we
must confess our civilization a veneered bar
barism, and that the brute mob is still too
strong to permit women their just rights.
The objection frequently made to giving
greater sopia freedom to tho women is that
tho men, being' of 'southet-n bioo3,"ie too
passionate in their addresses, and would, if
permitted to mingle moro freely with the
women, begin to pay court to them and
make love in earnest. But I don't believe
thea ay less chivalry among Mexican
men than exist3 a ni tbern nalipn. The
overt. tress laid on love in Latin nations
comes from tho Moorish seclusion in which
the women live. The young men ore poet
ical, aud talk of love when they should be
plying pp or jiuiitiuf , and the mystery
surrounding the life of '"ie Women stimu
lates their fancies. It is an unhealthy sys

it was the custom every evening to' drive a

near the barn. t was decided one day to

was accordingly left in the lot, while the rest
were driven as usual to the pasture. No
sooner had the butcher slain his victim than
there could be distinctly heard from the pas

of the mother, the other cows occasionally
joining in what could be described only as a

The Writer As lie Writes.
When you just betriu to be an Hiitlmv ill.
sight of the blank sheet of paper gives y-ou
an appetite instead of depriving you f it.
You long to be at work and cover it with ink
marks. A new writer not ouly enjoys writ
ing, but rewriting also; 1 have known authors
who will copy out a piece, over and over
again, until tho page appears without au
erasu-o. That is not a Lad thing by way of
practice, and would no doubt be advocated
by the printers. But it is not likely to bo
kept up more than two or threo years. After
that the writer kuows what he is going to
write before he writes it; ho has learned "the
art of putting the contents of his mind di
rectly on the paper; besides, he has not the
time tq make ceppui- plate repiocluctior of
his work. Ha is moro apt to put it off to tho
last practicable moment, and then to do it as
rapidly as he can. And by and by it will lw
irksomo to him to do it at all; and ho w.Ul
wiah that fortune would present him with a
year's vacation, during which he could lie on
his back and do nothing.

Immigration is coming with a resistless
tide. Ex-Goveinor itouit, oue of the ereat
cattle owners of tho wcst, when speaking of
how the ranges were being so rapidly set
tled, recently said: MThe cow musi give way
to Naiicy and th? Ijalif." The iudiuo
tion of the coining of this groat tide of im
migration was manifested by cattlem n put
ting up wire fences and inclosing vast areas
of land. This sufficed for a time, but immi
gration still continued, and then after much
litigation the pourte said: "Take dQY4 your
wire fences." As the cattlemen occupied
these great ranges for a quarter of a century
before it was ever thought poiLle for them
to have any value for agricultural purposes,
it is not strange that they should have mado
the determined fight they have. The plow
share now glistens in the old ".A.meii.jau
Desert"' and the old pattle trails are being
turned into farms." The east can tardly
realize the wonderful changes that are tak
ing place. Within twenty-five years thij
buffalo, which us! o foam these plains by
tne sen ot thousands, aro almost extinct.
Tho great herds of the cattle kings took tho
place of the bison, but now the cattle rnugc-s
