Life and How His Stories Made Him faaioos?How He Looks, Propecia and Works?The Romance of [Copyright bj American Press Association.] . The ~etory of Capt. Charles King's eventful life reads more liie a work of romantic fiction than a plain statement of every day facts. Capt King's name has became as familiar as a household word torsaJers of serial and magazine Hterature the past few years, and he is todav one of the best known and most widely read authors in America. The demand for his stories is so great that no less than six novels are now being printed in as many magazines and syn dicates besides several other important new'wo?fcs, and he has enough orders ahead, .to keep ,him .busy every hoor of CapS. King has been writing stories of ?ov? and war steadily for the past six or and in that time he has an incredibly large number and what is sou more remark afcle. they are all good ones. Capt. Sing is a soldier by instinct and profession, a born ruler of men, bat the receipt of a savage bullet and the appearance of one or two military stories from his pen com bined tgtforce him, somewhat reluctant ly, into* ibe field of literature. The de mand tor his stories gradually became so great that he has been compelled to aban don evexy^hiisg else and become a pro fessionaiinove&t Capt. Charles King is a resident of Milwaukee. He lives in a pretty little home on Prospect avenue, surrounded by his happy little family?a wife and several children. He is 43 years of age, bat appears much younger. He is small of stature, light and graceful, a blonde, with blue eyes and a handsome-, intelli gent race. Being near sighted he con stantly wears glasses. Excepting a mus tache his face is clean shaven. He is fond of society, dresses faultlessly, and Eke a true military man is erect and dignified, teen of speech and quick at repartee. When not wearing his uni form he occasionally affects dress of a verj striking kind. The portrait here with given shows him in a suit of spot less white cloth in which he occasionally .J appears during the summer months. a CAPT. KING. AUTHOR OP **TWO SOLDIERS.' Capt. King first tried his prentice hand at writing when a subaltern of ar tillery, just after the- war, but not with pecuniary success, if any other. He sound publishers^ but no pay. in 1873, while on reconstruction duty in the south, he began "Kitty's Conquest," and tried several publishers with it. No one wanted it, and he pitched the MSS. into a trank, and went oat to Arizona, to join the Fifth cavalry for the Apache campaign. For she years he and his regi - ment were in one Indian war after an other, and scenting all over the continent, from the Missouri to the Colorado. It was while recovering from a severe wound that he began Sketches of Indian campaigning, and they led to demands for more. The Iippincotts read his "Colonel's Daughter** as it was being published as a serial m an army magazine that could hardly afford to pay for the paper it was printed on. They instantly offered to publish it in book form and pay him royalty and to take anything^elsehe had. trtrlridfQg "Kitty.* The Colonel's Daughter" is selling yet, and eoi? its sequel, "Marion's Faith," w?rDe "The Deserter^ and "From the Ranks," and his several later complete novels, have exceeded all the publishers' expectations, and astonished nobody Store than the author himself. His largest work?and considered by profes sional critics his best?is "The Famous Buttles of the World," an 800 page vol ?me, published in .Philadelphia, but he has written several short stories and sketches for Lippincotts. Harpers and others, anc for the next year or two. 1 am told by the captain himself, he can accept no more offers, for all that he can possibly write is bespoken. In answer to a question as to his method of work Capt. King said that there had been only three months a year until 1887 that he could give to writing. The national guard is a thing in which he is deeply interested, and he has jjiven it's great deal of time. When he does write it is generally for several hours at a stretch. from 8 or 9 in the morning un til 1 or sometimes 2. He writes rapidly and yet hates to revise and correct, but no one ever sees his work, good or bad, until it is opened in the publisher's office. Everj^hing he has written since 1882 and much that he wrote before has found its market. Capt. King was born in AIb:?ny. N.Y., Oct. 12, 1844, and comes of a family dis tinguished in literature and politics. His father was for several years United States minister to Rome, and during the war becamd brigadier general of volun teers. Hb grandfather. Charles King, TiL, D., wa? once president of Columbia college, and his great-grandfather. Gen. Burns Bang, was one of the signers of the- Declaration of Independence and twice minister to England. On his moth er's side he is a direct descendant of John Eliot, the Indian apostle. In 1845 Burns King went to Milwaukee and be came editor of The Sentinel, residing there continuously nntil his appointment to Borne. In 1858 Charles King was sent to Columbia college, where he re mained until 1861. Within a few hours after Fort Snmter had been fired upon young King turned up in the camp of the Wisconsin volunteers at Washing ton^ with drum slicks in hand. At 16 years of age he saw his first soldiering 3n Virginia. He was guide for Gen. W. S- Hanoock when he first crossed the Potomac .at the head of his brigade. In 1883 King was appointed a cadet at West Point by President Lincoln, and be graduated No. 2,136, and number 22 in a class of 46. After graduating at West Peint he was kept there for some time as ^rdlitary instructor?a high com pliment to a subaltern officer. _ From 4866 to 3869 Capt. King served in the regular army as a'c^valry ofucer, stationed at New Orleans. Then he was ordered to West Point as instructor in cavalry tactics. Hewas relieved from duty in 1871 to accept a staff position. From 1871 to 1874 he was confidential aid on the staff of Maj. Gen. W. H. Emory, with station at New Orleans. There was a romantic turn to Capt. King's life about this time. It will be remembered that there was a good deal of excitement over an international race of gentlemen riders on the oldMetaire track, at New Orleans, in April, 1872. England, Ireland, France and Austria [ were represented, but there was no one to ride for the United States. At the last minute Capt. King entered the con test, and the race was a notable one. : Distmjrtiislied people from all over the country were present. The flower and beauty of the south turned out and the grand stand at the Jockey club on that particular day was a scene of be wildering beauty and chivalry. The race was a magnificent one, and to the surprise and delight of every one King j won it by two lengths. After the huzzahs of congratulation ! had subsided the victor was presented I with a gold whip, which he took across : the track and laid in the lap of a young \ lady who had accompanied Gen. and : Mrs. Emory. She has the whip yet. and ! it is suspended from a ribbon over the j parlor mantel in Capt. King's cosy home. They were married a few months after the stirring incident. After going through the reconstruction period in the south our hero asked to be relieved from [ staff duty to join his troop, K, Fifth cavalry. In the Apache campaign in Arizona, in 1874, King saw brilliant ser ; vice. The troop of which he was in command became conspicuous. Gen. Sherman publicly stated that he consid ered their services * _equaled by those of any cavalry regiment." On Nov. 1, 1874, King was severely wounded at Sunset pass. He was then only saved from failing into the hands of the blood thirsty savages by the valorous devotion of one of his soldiers. For months the intrepid commander was laid up with a shattered saber aim. Almost before it wa_ well he was in the saddle again and went through the ter rible Big Horn and Yellowstone cam paigns. His service was brilliant, his bravery matchless and his coolness, in the heat of man; ; of the most terrible bat tles ever fought vith the Indians,won him unstinted praise _rom his superiors. In 1878 King's wound, which had never healed, became so troublesome that he was forced to go before a retiring board. The next year - he left the army that he loved so well and became a shelved war rior?full of scars and glory, before ho had reached one-half of man's three-ecore and-ten years. And thus it was that the soldier became an author. After his re tirement he held several important civil and military commissions, and became identified prominently with the national guard, in which he is still very much in terested. In Capt. Kong's study,, where he writes his stories, there is the veritable Navajo blanket in which his soldiers j bundled or carried him down the moun tain side after receiving his wound at l Sunset Pass. There, too, can be seen the pictures in uniforms of many of the 1 heroes of his stories. Shoulder straps, sword belts, forage cap and buckskin 1 leggings are suspended from the walls. ' There are a thousand and one other curi- I ous things picked up by the captain dur- ] ing his army life. On the wall is a fine 1 portrait of Gen, Rufus King, and near by is the magnificent presentation sword owned by the soldier-writer's distin guished father. Altogether it is a home of refinement and taste. Capt King and the lady who won the Metaire whip have three children, and there is a Charles King. Jr., who is a living pic ture of the father and a perfect soldier in miniature. G. H. Yexowinr Laughing Time Coming. (Greenville News.) Ha ba ? Ha ha ! He he ! Ho ho ! By George, our time to laugh is here ! The prostrate forms of the gt ntlemeu and individuals whose fingers have slipped from the Till man coat t ails begin to lie thick about U3 ! The mangled remains of those who planted petards so carefully and hurled them so ferociously in the glad and bright aod blooming days of the campaign ate begiuning to fail in showers from the upper cloud regions of political hope ! The nice little caucus, the. snug little coufereuce, the sweet and insinuating little ring have been putting in their work I Each cold, deal political corpse bears upon its face a ghastly smirk ; intended to express satisfaction and resignation ; whispers of unabated < loyalty to the coat tails begin to trickle weakly through the county newspapers ; occasionally a subdued roar of anguish or a kick which could not be suppressed marks agony of disappointment too stroDg for silence, decorum and submis sion. And we who are out of it, who have never been in it anywhere since the glad month of July, who have been run over rough shod, elbowed, derided j aod bullied?it is our tine to look m ' and laugh, to enjoy the fun. to chuckle j gleefully over the mortification and ? downfall of many who tramped so proudly in the great reformer's dusty trail and swung so boastfuiiy to his ( oat tails. Ciiizen Athley, of Anderson, went dowu, but he had commanded our res pect by unking a vigorous fight against the pruning knife he had done so much to place in hand.1* hostile to h\ n, and we could not laugh much. Bat in Abbe- { ville there are some slain whose dowu fall is only funny. Over in Laureus j aspiring beads that rose upon the Till- i man platform have been tapped by the i Till man riusr and have sadly drpprd. Our friend Professor McElroy who won notoriety by his vicious personal as asult6 against State Chairman H -yr. is far down among the left and will not eveo be in the second race for school commissioner. Iu Union, we observe a prominent Alliance brother and worker j faintly proclaiming through the Times that he was slain by the whiskry fiend. ! In Kdgeficld, Sum Colgan, the mau j who hauled wood and was for Till man first, ia*t and all the time and incident- i ally wanted to be county commissioner, faintly turns up his toes to the daisies j with a total ot 37 votes. There, too, ; D. A. G. 0;iZfs, the uninformed giant j of the Charleston Wo;Id, appears iu j the eighth place in (he legislative list, I only three places ahead of i> z Pjfcr son, the dauntless auti, who had 380 : votes to back b?m. Worse yet, the grim reaper appears , tobe swooping down on tue Till man family itself. Uncle George is declared i to be in imminent danger. Chairman : Talbert, who ran the March convention so ably for Ben and who has labored so earnestly in ?he cause of his oppressed brother farmer, is said to be reaching for the place so long and ably filled by , Ben's brother George It would be a misfortune to the State i to have George D. Till man replaced by ! 3Iajor Talbert, but it would be a funuy misfortune, brought about in a delight fully funny way. The fuo is only just beginning. When the primaries aud caucuses and conferences have done their full work among the faithful, when the district conference aud primaries have added some more to the prone forms, there will come, if Tillman is elected, the scat tering of death bolts among the appli cants for places in the gift, of the Gov ernor aud the delegations About that time the bawling will begin to pierce the skies and the wail ing and the weeping, the kicking and the gnashing of teeth as the holds of coat tails c?ogers are broken and many are cast in'o the outer darkness will be as music aod jig dancing to the grin ning and revengeful anties. About that time many who have clostd their ears against reason, their memories against facts and their eyes against plain results will of a sudden begin to see and bear and think and know. They will realize at last that Tillman and Tillman methods mean a more remorseless ring, a more unscru pulous aod tyrannical use of power, a more reckless subversion of the rights aud interests of the people to personal greeds and ambitions, colder ingrati tude and more pitiless use of the lash and the ring than our free people have ever known.
