late "Hughey" Keough, who is still remembered as an
exceptionally gifted man. When Keough died, Hugh S.
Fullerton ran the column for a time, after which it was
taken up by R.W. Lardner, who, I believe, continues to
conduct it, although he has recently written baseball
stories which have been published in "The Saturday
Evening Post," and have attracted much attention.
Kiser also continues his column in the "Record-Herald."
Another column, which started a year or so ago is
"Breakfast Food" in the Chicago "Examiner," con-
ducted by George Phair, formerly of Milwaukee.

The Chicago "Tribune" now has two "columns," for,
five years since, it recaptured Bert Leston Taylor, and
brought him back to revive his "Line-o'-Type." He has
been there ever since, and, so far as I know "columns,"
his is the best in the United States. It has been widely
imitated, as has also been the work of the "Tribune's"
famous cartoonist, John T. McCutcheon. But some-
thing that a "Tribune" man said to me of McCutcheon,
is no less true, I think, of Taylor: "They can imitate
his style, but they cannot imitate his mind."
