THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 22, 1896. BOB BURDETTE IN TOWN.| The Humorist Tells How Much Better It Pays to Talk Than to Write. THE ODD STORY OF HIS RISE. | His Interesting Reminiscences of Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley. Never Overworked. | Robert J. Burdette, the widely known humorist and author of several books, who made bhis reputation on the Burling- ton Hawkeye and since then has delivered gunny lectures in all parts of the country, is at the Occidental. The humorist was here eight years ago. He has come to speak on the “Rise and Fall of the Mus- tache,” and will address himself to the public here on Tuesday night. Last night he spoke in Alameda. Mr. Burdette is below the medium size and younger by much than the average person would suppose from having, in a general way, followed his career. His hair, which is rather long, is black, and his eyes and mustache are of the same hue. The humorist is the close friend o James Whitcomb Riley, with whom he has been associated in times past, and was also an admirer of Bill Nye. Unlike Mr. Nye, however, Burdette says he never overworked, but on the contrary was lazy, and so can hardly remember, even when doing the routine work of a daily paper for years, that he ever got tired. Mr. Burdette began doing his first humorous work on the Peoria Transcript. It at- tracted attention, and Frank Hatton of the Burlington Hawkeye engagea him to go on that paper and write funny para- graphs. “It was the proudest moment of my life,’” said Mr. Burdette, ‘‘when some of the papers began to say I was the Dan- bury News man of the West. No, when 1 began to lecture I got along all right, too. But scared? Great Scott! Scared to deat I conld hardly stand up and say anvthing. Still, I managed to get along. I lectured | in halis and schoolhouses throughout Iowa and some of the adjoining States and usually munaged to do very fairly. I stood in with the committee and we divided. Sometimes I didn’t get more than would pay expenses, but this was not frequent. “I remember one night I had ‘been lec- turm¥ at Noblesville, Ind., and on my way back I met Whitcomb Riley, who had beea lecturing at a little place near by. ‘How have youdone?’ ne asked me. ‘On,’ I re- plied, ‘I got some of the committeemen and thus had something of a crowd. How did you do? - ‘Oh, I held the janilor spell- bound for an hour,’ he said. 1 think Kiley isa great humorist and hasa way of say- ing things that is calculated to bring hilar- ity to any audience. .“Poor Bill Nye died too soon. There was more good swff in_him than ever came out. If he had lived he would bave done some great work. But he overworked and then there was something the matter with his spine. He got hurt once a few years ago in Wisconsin during a cyclone. Bill, in explaining how it wasafterward to some people who asked him how it occurred, taid he didn’t know; he guessed he stepped on a peal of thunder. ““Nye was very methodicalin his writing. | syndicate letter came out regularly | ery week no matter how he felt. He grew rich, he had a fine residence on Staten Isl- and and another very fine residence at Ashe- villb,: He also had money in the bank. *‘In regard to lecturing and writing, it pays much better to do the former than the latter. It is an old story that spoken words are much more profitable than those that are written. Dr. Talmage told me a story recently that well illustrated this. He had written a careful and as he thought an in- teresting and important article and sent it to a leading publication, saying thatifa check for §200 was forwarded him he would let the publishers have the article. After a while it came back with a note from the publishers saying that while they regretted it they found the article hardly available. | “Then he sent it to some friends who published a weekly paper, and marked the price down to $100, but word came back in wuoch the same way. Then the doctor sent it to a daily, and offered the whole thing, big as it was, for $25. But the pro- HOSIERY AND UNDERWEAR! At 15 Cents a Pair.
