...City of New York, from which he was graduated in 1891. He then turned to editorial work and used the famous blue pencil in such offices as those of The Woman's Home Companion and The Literary Digest. With such editorial apprenticeship, he was able to become a poetic journalist with great facility and success, without losing any of his pristine talents. His rhymed reviews in Life have charmed for years. It is a hard enough task to be a reviewer of books for several years; but to be a rhymed reviewer for many years shows a consistency...

Round the camp fires and in the log cabins deep in the Maine Woods, the lumberjacks have for many decades composed and sung a rude poetry celebrating their hazardous life with its trials and its compensations. For the student of poetic orgins and of American life as well as the general reader, these poems are even more interesting than the famous old ballads handed down from our English ancestors.
