THE WESrSGIANT JOKER.
ONE OF THE SUNNY SPIRITS OF
THE WINDY CITY.
A Glance at Opie P. Read, the Pop
ular Humorist—His Life at Horn a
and in His Office His Wife auJ
Children.
{Copyright, i
Nsw York, April 13 -Anr'ohe walking
along the streets of L->n Jon some tun > in the
ear'.y sixties might hare checks! himself
and turned aboa; to look at a passing fig
ure. Thousands did. They paused and
looked because the man was b.g, differoat
in expression of face from other men.
and because from the face, somehow, shone
out what was at the same time critical and
genial. There was the indication of acute
ness and of the big heart. Those things
showed themselves in the man’s face. ll.s
name was Tnackeray.
Walking the streets of Chicago to-day
one is liable to tarn and look again at a
man who may chance to pass. Tde impur e
is a'most the same, doubtless, as that which
made one turn to look twice at Thackeray.
Oddly enough, too, the man who attracts
attention iu Caicajo is, perhaps, nearer
Thackeray m ch iracter than any other
writer whose name oai become known upon
two continents. He is a giant, physically.
His bight is six feet, three or four inches Re
lias broad shou.dors an i a leonine front. He
is physically perfect, barring, perhaps, one
organ. His heart may be a little overgrown.
This is Opie P. Heal, .trie one American
novelist of to-day whose touch reminds one
of that of Theodore Winthrop—who died
much too soon—the sketch writer, whose
hamor and ivathos are now appreciated
alike in some back county of Moctaua and
in some Kentish county seat.

Why not give his biography succinctly as
written by the brown mustache l business
manager of the “ Arkansas* Traveler," P.
D. Benham, who was applied to for a con
densed history of the life of his brother -in
law.
OPIE POPE READ.
Bora. Nashville, Tenu., 183S.
First newspaper connection was with the
Franklin (Ky.) Patriot as “devil."
In 1577, edited the Bawling Green (Ky.)
Pantograph.
In 1878, city editor of the Little Rock
(Ark.! Gazette.
In 18S0, married Miss Ala Benham.
In 1881, left the Gazette and took a posi
tion on tae Clevela :d (O.; Leader.
Returned to Little Rock, and in June.
18'.!, started the Arkaneaw Traveler.
Moved Traveler to Chicago, April, 1887.
Two children—Hattie Verotne. aged 8,
and I’hllo Benham, aged 7.
It is a tnfle difficult for one who knows
Opie P. Read well to talk about him
thoughtfully. There appertains to him a
certain something which makes those near
him perhaps a trifle too fond of the mon
ster. The story of his drifting early in life
in the south is simply that of a resolute
youth of good family who got into the
newsoapsr business. There was no hacking,
much misadventure, and infinite gro
tesquerie. The condensed account above
teils the mechanica 1 storv of it all. No need
for going into details. Just a dab here and
there at a biography may give the best
idea. There, f r instance, was the Prairie
Plotter —a newspaper established at Car
lyle. in Kansas, by Read and some wander
ing bohemian to whom h? had taken a
fancy. Tue Prairie Flower bloomed beauti
fully, but it did not declare dividends with
any degree of regularity. Rsad and his
partner boarded in Carlyle’s one hotel for
probably a greater length of time than anv
other two men could have done under the
circumstances. Finally, the proprietor an
nounced himself gently, but lirmly, aud
even those two s 'ldlers of Arkansas'for
tune felt that they mußt leave. They
had no place in which to sleep,
but* Read, with great forethought,
had iu consideration of certain alleged ad
vertising secured annual passes upon the
railroads which ran through the place. It
was winter, bu; there were great stoves ia
the cars, and the cars were warm. Getting
upon them at Carlyle, at, say 9 o’clock |Z
m., one might ride in a certain direction
until 2 o’clock a ra., then taking a meeting
train, reach Carlyle again at 7 a. m.
Read and his partner resorted to their
anqual passes. They slept on the trains each
night, and so the winter wore awav. The
Prairie Flower did not bloom in tils coin
ing spring, but that man Opie Read can sit
in a chair to-day and sleep like a babe.
Another incident will illustrate the vicis
situdes of this one career. There catne a
time when this young inan was straudod
high and dry in Memphis, Tenu. He had
no money and he was hungry. There is in
Memphis, Tenn., a little park, and in this
pars are squirrels, protected by the munici
pality. They rompaud riot about m allfrea
dom aud all la n lessuess. Read sat looking at
them disconsolate. Then he arose, went to
a hotel office, where p iper could bo s-3cured
without expenditure, filled several pages of
manuscript, went to the nearest no w spapor
sold an article for a.id ate. Next morn
ing appeared in one of tho Memphis journals
an account of the most blood-thirsty squirrel
light of all times. Iu fact, probably the
oDly squirrel fight In all history.
A later incident may, perhaps, be inter
esting by its contrast.
In recent years, not long ago, the Arkan
saw Traveler was struggling for existence
in Little Rock. Its editor had married, and
had a home, blessed already with one child,
a babe. The name of Opie Read was be
ginning to be knowD. There was adema ;d
lor his work, and the return assisted iu
liolsteringup the fortune of the paper. One
night the baby, a little girl, who had been
ill for qome days, was counted dying.
The father had sat betide the cradle
for hours, and \va. sitting there
when a friend come in. One foot (and what
a foot Read has!) was rooking tho cradle,
and Read, with manuscript upon bis lap!
was writing funny matter for an eastern
publication. The matter, no doubt, was
bright, but the father’s face was not. The
babe recovered.
lhe Arleatisaw Traveler is now but lit
tle of tae real Opie Read. Within the lust
three or four years his reputation has
assumed a broaaer scope, aud, as a novelist
and delineator of phases of human nature
in quaint sketch-work he has made a wider
and more lasting reputation aud one which
is increasing steadily ami rapidly.
In tho novel of Len Gausitt the reading
woi Id breathed tho fragrance oi a sou f i>
western morning with the dew vet upon the
rose leaves. They felt the of
southwestern life. They com, whendod the
clean manliness of southwestern types
Tney saw a woman, sweet as womauTay
h ’
vet. Perhaps it is just as well * TheTwiU
be*u what he writes the blood which courses
only through the work of him who has the
novelist’s great gift.
The n rk of Read is genuine and real. It
is American thoroughly, crisp and genuine.
It is tdother works as mapie syrup is to
caramels. There is the native fragrance to
it. '
"Of Opie Real individually, as a man
about t wn, it may bi admitted casuady
that there is none mire popular in the
great, strong city of the west.
Happier borne than that of Cp;e Read it
would be hard to find. His graceful wife
is deeply interested in all her husband’s ef
forts, and one of the ra st earnest lelievers
in his powers. His two children, Hattie V.
Read and Philo. Benham Read, are of the
sort who make childless men grow envious,
aud the pleasant house in north Chicago is
a place at which it is a delight to lie a guest.
It is rather an exceptional cosi when the
writer of stories is one who is iu greatest
demand at the clubs and in the haunts of
men about t iwn. Read is an exception to
the rul". At the Press Club, ia the"lobbies
of the hotels or the theaters, there may be
semi a group gathered about his giant
figure, lie is one of the most fascinating
story-tellers, with a natural dramatic gift,
and au aptness and mge mi'-V indescrib
able. It may be added that in this
particular field he is probably the
awiulest liar in tli3 world. Tne sto: y
which charms a select audience in the lobbv
of the auditorium at S o'clock in the evening
raav be repeated in different places about
half a dozen times before soraa final rendi
tion in the White Chapel Club-rooms at 2 or
3 o’clock or anywhere In the morning. And
the last recital and tne first one will have
about as much relation to each other as
Tennyson’s Elaine and George Francis
Train’s latest telegram from somewhero.
Yet will each he good, aud it is mere mat
ter of chance which one of all the series will
be most delightful.
There is a certain gorgeous abandonme: t
of all fact In the story-telling of Opie Read
which attracts by its very recklessness.
■Such fecundity of resource in the manufac
ture of situations incident to a telling tale
was probably never known before. If
Wilkie Collins, and Annanias, and Mr.
Ochiltree, and Dick Wiutersmith could be
rolled into one aud set down in Chicago,
Read might have a rival in the dubs.
Talking soberly of this western au hor
whose books have shown such freshness a id
such force, aud whose eke'ohes have at
tained such popularity both in this country
and abrtmfi. it may be said of him curtly
and truNsfully that he is a big man with a
big brain aud a big heart, who is a figure in
literature and who will not become smaller
as the years pass.

WEALTH CAME AND WENT.
California Speculators Who Became
Suddenly Rich and Died In Poverty.
San Francisco Letter in the Globe-Democrat.
Two curious careers were recently ended
on this coast, both showing the extraordi
nary re verses that befall in many speculators
California. In a rude cabin in Virginia City
last week was found the dead body of H.
D. Griswold, who had perished by bis own
hand. Grisworld was one of the early pio
neers who came with Harry Meiggs, after
ward famous os the railroad budder iu
Chili aud Peru. Meiggs was soon worth
millions, but Griswold didn't prosper so
rapidly because be didn’t have no fortune
to start with.
Still he soon owned a trading schooner
which plied between this city and Mexican
ports, and heamasseia comfortable for
tune. But v hen the Comstock excitement
broke out, he went to Virginia City with
the rush of adventurers, and there sank all
he had made in California. His old asso
ciate. Meiggs, was threatened with min
here in the ’sos, when he took one of bu
clipper ships, loaded he- with a miscella
neous cargo of goods, and one night slipped
the cable aud made his way out of the
Golden Gate.
There was gnashing of teeth the next
morning among his creditors; there wns
racing aud chasing down the coast to capt
ure the fugitive vessel with the biggest de
faulter California bad ever then known, but
Meiggs made his escape and was never after
ward seen in his old haunts. His defalca
tion and flight ruined a doz-ii meu iu this
city, whose only mistake was in trusting
him implicitly. Six years after he left here
Meiggs was rich, and for twenty years
before bis death he was many- times a
millionaire, yet in all this time he made no
inquiries into the affairs of his friends
whom he had ruined, nor did he make the
Iran effort to repair the great wrong he
bail done.
Another speculator whose ill-starred ca
reer closed, like Griswold’s, in financial
gloom, was Daniel G. Barton, who died re
cently at his little vineyard near Cuca
monga, iu San Bernardino county. Bar
ton was a cousin of tho great financier Rals
ton, aad was a young aud handsome bro
ker when the Big Bonanza excitement of
1874-70 struck; San Francisco aud converted
ever curbstone “chipper’' into a prospective
millionaire. Barton was shrewd and bought
enough stock in the big Consolidated Vir
ginia and California mines to yield biui
over a half-million in a few months.
His friends thought he was on the high
road to great wealth, as he seemed to have
that invaluable instinct which tells a specu
lator when the market is going to rise or
fall. His actions were closely watched, and
mauy small operators mud* money by buy
ing when tb-y saw Barton loading up, and
selling tho moment he began to dump
stocks. Yet, despite his extraordinary run
of luck. Barton suddenly left the excitement
of Pine street aud Pauper alley and paid a
visit to the ea-t aad E urope.
In Saratoga he cut an immense swath.
He had suits by the dozen, and he wore the
costliest and most unique jewelry. He hob
nobbed with old Commodore Vanderbilt,
who graciously allowed tho Californian to
bear more than his just burden of tho cost
of entertaining the select crowd of railroad
millionaires that he gathered about him.
Barton shone like a meteor for a single sea
son, and he told friends on his return that
he had dropped SSO,OUU in setting it up for
the boys aud in bad bets on horses.
The earns run of ill-luck followed him in
Europe. He took a “flyer” on all the
English and French race courses, but there
was a hodoo on him, and he couldn’t win.
He became desperate, plunged into all kinds
of dissipation, and dropped the remainder
of his coin at Monaco in the vain endeavor
to retrieve disaster. He saved just enough
out of the wreck to pay his fare back to
California. Barton was so thoroughly dis
heartened when he returned that he never
visited his old haunts in the stock exchange,
but went to San Jose and started a smail
business. lie couldn’t make it go, how ever,
and ha soon retired to his vineyard at
Cucamonga, whiea lie had taken for a small
debt years before and bad regarded as
worthless. For the last seven years of his
life he lived like a recluse, seldom venturing
away from home.
-A Parable of the Soul.
Hear ve this parable. A man
Did plant a garden. Vine and tree
Alike, in course of tune, began
To put forth fair and pleasantly.
The rains of heaven, the persuading sun
Came down alike on each and every one.
Yet some trees willful grew. And some
Strong vines grew gayly in the sun
With gaudy leaves, that over come
To naught. And yet each flaunt ing one
Did flourish on triumphantly and glovv
1 jke-sunsel clouds in all iheir moving show.
But. 10, the morning.found them not!
Tie- soul had perished from them. Seed
And shell and loaf were left to ro:,
To furnish nourishment indeed
To patient tree and lowlv creeping vine
That grew as grew the Husbandman's design.
Hear, then, this lesson; hear and heed.
1 say that chaff shall perish; say
Men's soul is like unto a seed
To grow against the Judgment Day.
It grows and grows, if he will have it grow;
It perishes, if he must have it so/
