With invincible puerility it secured from some 24 writers-five of them widely famed-lists of "their personal choice of the immortal dozen" writers casually alluded to by Kipling.

Soon afterwards his San Francisco paper, the Illustrated Herald, suspended publication, and his Los Angeles paper, the Illustrated News, went into receivership.
