The author of “sweet Marie’ was in Chicago last week, says the Tinies of that city, but escaped before the general public became aware of his presence here. Me was re' u leg from a br es trip to New York, where he had just received his last quarterly royalties on the song which is played by all musi* cians, from Sousa’s band to an or gan grinder, and is whistled and sung by everybody. The reputation of Cy Warman does not rest upon “Sweet Marie,” however, for to the readers of news papers and magazines he is known as the “Poet of the Rockies,” and is today the most formidable rival of Hamlin Garland and James Whitcomb Riley. He is a native of I Illinois, but is a resident of Den ver, Col. “Speaking of poetry,” said Mr. Wurman, “it is difficult to tell just what the public wants. This year they seem to be running to the ‘Sweet Marie’ kind.” “Which kind do you prefer?” “There are persons who affect to like my verses ‘Be Near Me,Lucile;’ others prefer my verses of the rail; some say that ‘Clamber Closer, Clara’ tills the bill, but I like ‘Sweet Marie,’ and I’ll tell you why.” There the poet produced a fat wallet and extracted his quar terly statements of royalties as follows: January, February, March $985. April, May and June $1,682. “For July, August and Septem ber my royalties will exceed $2,- 000,” said Mr. Warman. “Os course, I can understand how sen. timental people prefer poems like ‘Hold Me in Your Clinging Clasp,’ but for me give me the poem with the hard, round, shiney bones in it.” Mr. Warman will sail for Eu rope September 6, to be absent six months or a year. If the average person were to attempt to draw a mental picture of a Rocky Mountain poet the re sult would be a man with long hair, a Buffalo Rill moustache and imperial, a wide slouch hat or sombrero, his trousers in his boot legs, a pair of Colt’s miniature Gatling guns in his belt around his waist, and a bowie knife be tween his teeth—in other words an exaggerated Joaquin Miller. Mr Warman is the antithesis of this picture. Physicially he is a com bination of Apollo and Adonis, nearly six feet tall and of fine athletic build. Ho dresses with taste and is scrupulously careful of his personal appearance. He would fit into Broadway or State street crowd much more harmpni ously than he would in the throngs that congregate in mining camps. He was born on a farm near Greenup, ILL, June 22, 1855. When twenty-five years of age he went to Colorado. Up to that time he had given no evidence whatever of any literary ability and no indication that he even possessed any latent quality in that direction. He be gan work on the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, and shortly thereafter became a fireman on a locomotive. His “run” was over the famous Marshall pass, and he claims that it was the majestic scenery of this part of the Rockies that first in spired him to write. “I couldn’t help writing poetry with such ' scenery as that to run my engine through,” hi’ said, and his first , verses were favorably received in a local way. Personally, he is one of the kindest and truest of men. There is nothing mawkish or effeminate I in his gentleness. It is a robust 1 gentleness. His wit is clean and 1 clear cut and he is the jolliestsort < of a companion. He was married , May 17th, IJS92, to Miss Myrtie | Marie Jones, who is the original “Sweet Marie.” ’ j Ask your dealer for Westover Tobacco i through, THE BIG SHOW.
