( ' Hie Kew Book. "Tit CU f . WII4." Which Haa Dea Very Well Keeelved Mew He Btcaa a Lit Since Kiplinst wrote bis "Jungle Book . there have appeared various writers of "animal stories' Thouip- son-Seton ' William J,;", Ixng, fcwv) Ford and others. Among the latest and "most successful of these, though writing along different lines from any of bis predecessors, is Jack London, a young Callfornian, whose sketches in the magazines first began to attract at tention about three years ago. His lat est ttbry Is "the Call of the Wild," Just Issued by Macmillan, of Which the hero. Buck, is a dbg, a noble animal of mixed 8t Bernard, and shepherd breed. and the story recounts the adventures that befell this gallant fellow In the wilds of Alaska. - Although Jack London is not yet twenty-seven yeora of, ; age, he has crowded into' the short space of bis life experiences enough for half a century, f?He Is the son of parents Who wander ed from eastern homes, meeting" in Cal ifornia, where they were married and bequeathed to their son the pioneer and adventurous spirit which had actuated them. He was born in San Francisco on Jan. 12, 1870.- The boy had a bard life, supporting himself by manual la bor even before he had reached the age of nine years. He was not an ordinary boy, however, and what might have coarsened one of less strength of char acter waa to him a valuable experience. Speaking of his early life, Mr. London recently said in an interview published in the Reader: "Almost the first things I realized were responsibilities. I was wage earn er as ranch hand long before I was nine, when my mother moved to Oak land, where I worked as newsboy. Aft er that I went with the oyster pirates and salmon fishermen along the Sacra mento river. Some of these men , were Greeks! -.-The life., was . eventful; but strange and bard, the men, some of them, cutthroats. The San Francisco water front holds many phases of life and romance" and danger. "After a year or two I shipped as common sailor abd went to Japan. . JACK XjOXDON. ' J When I came back I entered a cotton mill, where I worked from 5 in the morning until 11 at night I had teen, to school some and had written compo sitions which had been praised the usual thing, you know."' ; " 5 f In 18H when eighteen years of age, Mr. London 'tramped ' 10,000 . miles through the United States and Canada, adopting for a time the vagrant life for purposes of sociological and economic study, Speaking of bis experience as a tramp and its effect upon bis life, Mr. London says: - v : 4 - . "Before I took that tramn across the United Mates I loved hard work, loved to do it wanted to throw myself into' it fairly' gloried In manual labor. I . ac complished more than I. was paid for or expected to do from sheer love of It In Buffalo I was arrested and thrown into Jail as a tramp-my hair was clipped. and I was subjected to the regular tramp routine.; - There I saw; that the workman was simply in the social pit waa literally holding on the sides with his hands, and I resolved then and there never to work, again manually. for in that way man gets beneath the capitattsv From that day I was a so cialist' - , Returning to the home of his boy hood, nr.' London entered the Univer sity of California In 1806. but remained only K-year, being obliged to give np hlB collegiate studies because of a lack of funds. About this time the Klondike was. txglanlngto attract, the mining prospector , and gold seeker, and M r. London's radventu'oiS,: spirit t led him thither. , While unsuccessful in his search for gold, bo- accumulated there a .fund of experience and information which has served as a basis for very much that he has written. - Upon his return. from the Klondike Mr. London wrote "The Man cn the TralL". which fhe Overland Magazine published In 1S9.- This" first succe?s was followed by eight other short sto ries, all of which, with one exception, were published in the Overland and were subsequently collected in book form under the title of "The Son of tle Wolf." whkh brought him recognitlr n from the literary world. Other stories by Mr. London are "The League A ti e Oil Men." "The White Silence," T.-e G.i 1 c f His Fathers." "Pang'-tjr of th Nor;!." "The ChiUren of the Frost.'
