" ' Simply by experience How long ago do you suppose Hr6nson Howard be gan to write for the stage ? Saratoga was his llrst great success Mr Daly played it in 1870 , just twenty years ago As a rule , it takes a playwright about ten years to learn his trade , so that Howard has probably spent thirty years ot liis lifo in writing for the stage To compound the farce , comedy and tragedy of The Honrlotta' ho has road , studied and thought for more than a quarter of aeoutury And every day there came to mo young gontlomcn with maim scrpts who say : "Oh , do produce my play , Mr Hobson I've been nt work oh it for six months ; so it must bo worth playing ' " How long was nownrd engaged in writing The IlonriettaV' " Ostensibly a year Actually all his life You dent measure a physicinu's skill by tlio time ho lakes to euro you Into the work of a moment ho may put the experience of a lifetime " Could anybody write "Tlio Ilonri ettaV" "I have a theory on that point How ard agrees with it I believe thut play wrights are made , not born I think that anybody can write a piny who will take enough trouble " Without original gonitis ?

" It begitiB ' as follows : The last and greatest porconngo ot whom I have to treat is D.uiiel Web ster I have written of three great men throe very great men Calhoun , Hunton and Clay ; but , great as they were , Dnniol Webster , in downright.in- tellectual power nnd main strength of mentality , was equal toall threoof them taken together The reader is doubtless familiar with the fact that in Webster's day ho was culled the Godlike Daniel " The ap pellation fitted him Ho was godlike iu upponoancc and in power Ho was not to tall as Clay , but ho was much larger uml more massive in every way Ho hud broad shoulders , a tloopchobt and a largo frame , I have scon inon tailor than Webster , I have seen larger , but I never saw any one who looked so largo and grand as ho did when ho wnB aroused iu debute Wobstor's head was phenomenal In si/.o aud beauty of outline and grandeur of nppoaranco It used to bo baid of hlui thtit he hud brain enough to make several good bends His brow was so protuberant that oyes.though unusually large , beoined sunken , and were likened unto great burning lumps sot deep into the mouths of caves " ' But largo as his perceptive organs were , his relloctivos bulged out ever thorn His causality was massively developed , and Ins organ of comparison , which was larger than his cnsuulity , protruded as though nature iu building Web ster's head , having distributed her sup erabundant material as well as she could , found at last that blic had such a lot of brain mutter left that , in despair , she dubbed it on in I rout and let it take its chance ot sticking ; and it stuck Tlio bead , the face , the whole ptcsenco of Webster was kingly , majestic , god like and when one ho aril him speak ho found that Webster ' s voice was just exactly - actly the kind of voice that such a look ing man ought to have It was deep , resonant , mellow , sweet , with a thunder roll in it which , when lot out to its full , power , wns awe-inspiring. In ordinnry bpeech its lntignillcont buss notes rolled forth like the1 rich tones of n deep voiced organ ; but when ho chose to dose so ho could elevate his voice in ringing , clarion , tenor tones of thrilling power Ho also had a faculty of magnifying a word into such prodigious volume and force that It would drop from his lips as a great boivldor might drop through the celling nnd jar the semite chamber like a clap of thunder . .
