and anfortunate edoojjh in bis early life thoogh educated at westminister and endowed with great natural abilities he was refused entrance at oxford on the ground of iocapcity in 1756 be entered into orders and became a curate bat preaching was not to his taste he sat down and wrote bis boaciad his first poem and yet the one by which be was to be best known in all time church- bill took his us to loudon and submitted it to a wellknown publisher said pub lisher had lost so mach by publishing poetry that he would have nothing to do with anything more of the kiod unless the author could make a deposit to secure bun from loss this poor ch archill coald not do bat the bookseller recommended bim to a yoang man who bad juat set up in famines snd was looking for something to publish goto him and do yoa two inexperienced oaes commence together said tbe man of books i churchill found tbe yvang man who bad just embarked his all in an untried business and a bargain wsa quickly struck up the votame was pablished and daly advertised in five days jast five copies bad been sold the first publisher heard ot it aud bless ed bis stars as for churchhill and his publisher they were thunderstruck at the expira tion of four days more the end of the week the poet called upon his- publisher again and- three moru copies had been sold i loor churchill confident that his poem had merit and pith and wit could not comprehend he was almost frauuc he went to a dear friend connected with the theatre and to him told his sad story the friend looked over the work and ioand that ot all the satire therein coq tained not a bit otit was aimed at garrick but on the contrary g snicks style was greatly praised 1 so away to garrick posted the friend with a copy af the poem iu bis hind garrick da you kow what a mag- nificent pictare of your marvellous genius the yoang poet churchill has given in his bosciad upon ray word it is sublime garrick swallowed the sweet bait at once he took the poem from bis friend read it and then went forth and sounded its praise- and he even went so far as to drag ihe rosciad into bis dialogue on the stage the refult was wonderful before the close of be next day ibe p jblsiher had not a copy of the poem iefl and in a short lime so many editions went off that boih churchill and his publisher were re moved far beyond the regiou of want into the blessed realm ot

of that lime however he st ambled upon a small ranch at which he put up tor the night he found the ground inclosed by a neat wire fence and in the morning taxed the ranchman with having stolen the telegraph the man admitted the fact at once oh yes he said ive been livin here nigh onto three year and have watch ed that old telegraph wire all that time i never see nothing go over it and reckoned
