New York, Aug. & HAR GREEN: I have Just been hearing about the D Mterary habits of one of our self-made men whe Aidn't get the job finished at the top until the founds ation was beginning to cave slightly. During the active yéara of his life he was too busy baling up bundles of those desirable dark green and pale yellow ahades of Mint Weeds to 'be pestering with the lighter things of life. But about the time he quit reading fine print and began doing his chewing with the aid of some brought-on teeth he moved here from P—. Anyway, he moved here and de cided to do a little high grading among the luxurtes. No, I didn’t say where he-came from. And I'm net solng to, either. There've been too many unkind things said about Pittsburg, anyhow. We forget how _xuch—we x owe to Pittsburg. It ia the home of the Clinker, the Co- respondent and the Corey case. What more would you expect of one town? But to return to our bero. First off, he built himself a large and uncom. fortable palace ‘on Fifth avenue, filled with luxurtes and Loule Quinzy chairs, on which nobody could sit and endure it except the Boneless Wonder from the circus, and marble statues: of deceased Grecian parties, and Gobelin tapestries or Imitation that were Just as homely as the genuine articte and therefore Perfectly satisfactory, and pictures of all the ok masters who are working at the trade at present. The castle had a fluted roof, and on one comer of it there was a maniacal tower which stood up inte the shuddering skies and ut- tered loud shrieks. Yet it satisfied the gentleman who owned it. But when the time came to furnish the brary he found he was up against the fying rings with no life nets handy. He confronted ® large vacant chamber with its walis-iined with upward ot three-quarters of a mile of yawning shelves. Eventually he found on a side walk stand a tasty red volume that seemed to fill the desired specification, and he sent ft on to m dealer with a request that the dealer furnish him about two thousand assorted books to match Inclosed sample. And now every time he feels the need ofa little Uterary relaxation he goes Into his brary and takee-« AD. At that he has come nearer etting the worth of his money than a whol: [or Us ae.
