However, Mr. Dooly Is the world's despslr In his demonstrated ability to harp on one string year Irt' 'and year out and make rich music all the time. v' George, Ade'a Fables were al most as good as BUI . Nye's letters used to be; -people would get up earlier Sunday mornings on their ao count. But Ade seems to have worn tbat-atrlng out or to have tired of It Financially h did well when he aban doned the Fables for play writing, but he lost In reputation. .His "The Col lege Widow'' has stayed la "' New Vork: all that the country at large knows of it is that It has run long aad successfuMy'.' For some reason It has been strictly a New Tork play, not an American one, - Then, when he went Into "Pastures New," how flat' he ley down ' evsrybody who reeds a Sunday paper knows. ' He must know It himself, since he sends out the newt that t i to resume play ATltlng.i . , i-.'TV The boys In the -Mule Pen were talking -about him - yesterday. One of them contributed the opinion that any man In the ' shop might ' have gone over to the pyramids and done better than Ade has done, even la the field of humor. All agreed that It was ' mighty, poor stuff, either as notea of. travel or as foolery, and that It will be bound to subtract from bis popularity and, therefore, from his income. ' He has ' made enough anyhow to buy a hammock and quit It's. a good thing ho has, for his pub lic, syndicated as .his stuff was, must have been, enormous - It has kept Its watchful, silent : eye on him. If he has felled to make good before It it will require great works st his hsnds hereafter,. -to convince it that his vein Is pot exhausted. Perhaps, should he rest now upon his laurels, he will hold the primacy tn literary history among the men who knew tha market and made the most of It vThat" Mule' Pen talk Is delightful. It does not pretend te scholarship or dogmatism, but It converges from va rious experiences and reading and It Is hard to surprise. . It interests those who indulge In it ao much that tbe typewriters are allowed to stand sometimes longer than The Old Man la presumed t knew. - This George Ade discussion, for Instance, suggest ed - com psrlsons of Nye, Billings, and others with him. Bill would have done that tour up to the queen's taste! Don't you remember his de scription of bis entrance Into the ca thedral wss tt Westminster? where Victoria worshipped, .-leaning, upon the arm of Alfred Edward; how he had i on pantaloons' made full above the knee and tight below, and from very large, gorgeous checked cloth; and how he fancied he heard a flut ter of . pleasure pass over the vast congregation! Bill would have cover ed the pyramids; One man said that Artemus Ward's dispatch to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, "I have seen tbe tomb ot Shakespeare; it Is a success," wss worth all the Ade "New Pastures." . More minds went to "In nocents Abroad" than to. any other book of funny travel. As to Josh. he drew'out of his own Well where ever he went- When he got tO.be a lecturer he would write up the places be had been to. . As one of the boys recalled, the two things that Impress ed his most In Maine were that there was more Indigenous hair on the wo- man's heads in that . State than In others, and that he met a man up there wbo waa kin to him by mar rlage, they both having married fe males. Another point or . agreement was that Bill Nyt's Judgment was the best of - all as te the proper length of such stunts, a column or less. The Installments of Ade'a ' recent stories were too , . long. : .The '- Sherlock Holmes stories were-longer,' but they are in a different class. , Josh Bill Ings was so brief that he hardly did more than give you an appetiser; so the present "Reflections of a Bachelor" and Its Imttstors, Eugene Field who. , by the way. discovered Nye and got him a Job on The Den ver v Tribune wss probably Nye's master In the matter of length, for Field ranged about a column.
