Few amoug the thousands who enjoy the'youthful vim and enthusiasm of Walter Wellman's special dispatches in tbe Chicago Record Herald are aware that with the present year Mr. Well- man will ronnd ont a quarter of a cen- tury as a Washington correspondent. The Record Herald always has been noted for the brilliance of its special correspondents, but Mr. Wellman's career reaches far back of tbe consoli­ dation which gave the paper its present name. Walter Wellman was born in Mentor, Ohio, in 18S8. At the age of fourteen h« began his newspaper experience by founding a weekly paper in Sutton, Neb. In the next dozen years he was laying the foundations for the success of later years. In 1884, when he was still a young man of twenty-Bix, he was intrnsted with tbe responsible post of Washington correspondent of the Chi­ cago Herald, a position which, thru all his polar quests and various changes in the paper itself, be has held with un­ diminished honor to the present day. In that quarter of a century he has won a national reputation as a magnetic and forceful writer, a shrewd political prophet, a genius at news getting and a daring explorer. In 1802 Mr. Wellman visited the West Indies for his paper and located the spot where Columbus landed, marking it with a stone monument. In 1894 he made hiB first dash for the pole, reach­ ing the latitade of 81 degrees northeast of Spitsbergen. In 1898 he tried it again, penetrating as far as Franz Josef Land and mapping many islands that had never been before explored. Two years ago he made a daring attempt to cross the arctic ice fields in an airship. Mr. Wellman has not yet reached the pole, and perhaps he never will, but he has given abundant proof of his courage and perseverance. His chief laurels, however, have been won by his years of splendid work a* a Washington cor­ respondent. ' do With a Rush.
