MRS. FRAKK LESLIE. THE WITCHING WIDOWS WORK. flow ri I'rctty Youaijj Widow Struggled and Toiled and Achieved a Triumphant Suo ccss. From the X<\v York journalist. It has so often been staled that 'women know nothing of business," that it has conic to be accepted as a trnisin by unthinking people. Yet hundreds of business men owe not a 1-"'- .it---- 4 illLiU Ul IUUU" SUCL"U? Iij cwi -uvautu, sagacious wives. A frequent modification of the first statement is that "women cxcel in small economics, but arc unable to grasp large business enterprises,"' or if they do they bccome masculine and lose that gracious icmininity which is the principal charm of woman. The utter falsity oi" these statements is nowhere more strikingly shown than in the case of Mrs. Frank Leslie. With executive ability, capacity for work and newspaper genius possessed by few men, she preserves all the charm of her womanhood and is as popular in the social as in the business world. Through the force of her own personality, she is at once one of the most attractive as well as most imporfaut figures in the profession of journalism, i-or -Mrs. Leslie was a journalist, ami a good one too, before she became the head of V. the great publishing house which bears her name. In the management of her ten publications, employing i>00 editors, artists, engravers," printers and others, Mrs. Leslie has displayed the very highest business qualities. An untiring worker, she is found in her office every day, from nine to four o'clock. $!)C signs ail the checks ami money orders, makes all contracts for ;: ~ - -.c c Innli nrfr VI CVViti ovu. proofs of all articles before they arc published, ami approves the make-up of every periodical before it is sent to press. She is the head of the whole establishment. No woman in America has illustrated higher and grander qualities?a broader capacity, a loftier courage, or a more indomitable perseverance under the storm and pressure of heavy difficulties and burdens ?than she. The story of her life reads like a romance. Miriam Florence Follin was born in the French quarter oi 2sew Orleans. She begau cany to write for the magazines, her iirst appearance in print being at the age oi tUrtcen. She was a hard studeut and a!i accomplished linguist. She traveled extcnsivelv and published several interesting volumes giving the results of her journeying?. iicr literary work was crisp, iVesli and evidencing that editorial faculty for getting at the root of things which has been so remarkably developed in her later work! From the date of her marriage to .Mr. Leslie she became his most valued adviser and most ctlicient coadjutor in all matters attecting the make-up ol him many publications. She assumed af once the editorship of the Laily'i 3[agazinci and maintained a general and careful supervision over the con tents of all the other periodicals. To rare literary ability, Mr?. Leslie added unusual business capacity, and hrr husband soon foam! her advice ?:o less valuable regarding the mechanical ami business departments of his establishments than concerning the letter-press of his publications. When Mr. Leslie died in 1880 there was 110 time leftfoi the beautiful young widow* to mourn. She was and is as dainty and refined ? * 1 . 1 T_ .1.. as the most tenaeny cnerisneu jauy alive, yet there were before her stern, unpleasant duties which demanded the heroic strength that often fails a powerful man. The Frank Leslie ^business aflairs seemed almost hopelessly entangled. The high credit, the existence itself of the house, were imperilled. A great sum of money was needed, and needed at once. By a legal process and in response to her husband's wish, 3!rs. Leslie abandoned her Christian name ot Mariam Florence and became in the law and to the world "Frank'-* Leslie. To the business world she became even more than Frank Leslie. When the slender, sweet-faced, gentle-voiced woman walked into ner husband's office, and putting back the sad announcing folds of her crepe veil, announced she had coxnc to stay, her gentle, gracious femininity won the sympathy of those about her. But when she came the next day as early as the earliest clerks, and the next day and the next, something more than respect ana syinpauiy ior uio uravy little woman came into their regard icr her. She sat at her desk like a Xapoleon over his war maps. She developed a remarkable faculty of knowing news, for seizing upon the very things that caught and charmed the public mind. A thousand and one things in the history of illustrated newspapers originated in her brain, and were executed for her papers. All day long . she bent to her desk, and was her own wise counsellor. The best of it all was, that Frank Leslie was not afraid. Big contracts did not frighten licr, notes to pay did not canse her to xct nervous, reading interminable pages of proof did not l'ret her, thinking out new features for her paper did not perplex her. Always cheery in her speech, and with considerate and hopeful words lor her employes, it is no wonder that both men and women leli in love with the new Frank Leslie and gave her the best work of which they were capable. The dying wishes of Frank Leslie have been carried out, but only alter his widow has encountered and triumphed over one long succession of difficulties and obstacles. Her pluck and genuino(ability has won lor the hearty sympathy and kindly feeling of the newspaper press. The average journalist is a gentleman, and if there is one thing which he admires more than another it is "grit." Abil itv he respects, but courage, especially in a beautiful woinasi, he enthusiastically admires. Mrs. Leslie said the other day that she had never been attacked, but had always received the kindest treatment at the hands of the gentlemen of the press. It is but just to add that she has deserved every word of praise which has been bestowed upon her. The story of the waxslie worked up the murder of President Garfield abundantly justifies her rank among the foremost editors on the weekly press. It was only a short time after she came into possession of the property that Garfield was assassinated. The first rumors of the event reached her tlLTl/lll/ HAIIV VII ^tUUiVlUV morning, J illy 2. "Within an hour two artists were 011 their way to Washington, and before sunset were diligently at work sketching the scenes of the tragedy. One ot" them returned to j New York by the midnight train with j their united sketches. The whole staff had been ordered to report lor | dutv earlv Suadav morr.injr; and, bv I diligent work that day, the following i night, aud through the fourth of July,! the paper was able to come out on ; Tuesday morning with full illustra-; tions of the chief events and personages The following Friday an extra number was issued, and on lLe next Tuesday the regular edition, with fuller detail?and illustrations?making three illustrated papers published in a single veefc, an achievement without parallel in ewspaper history. The death of Garfield made :i still severer ; demand o:: M;->. Leslie's ability to : grapple with a It ocarred late j on Monday eveuin^, September 19, and { the "Illustrated"' newspaper had gone ? DW???B?? to press when the news arrived. She | immediately ordered the pres.se? stop-! ped, destroyed t!:e part of the edition j aiready published, set the whole force I of the establishment at work preparing ^ n/)Wi/-kn tvifli r>ti(rrflvii)(/s of the I n m;\> uuuvn ??*% : sketches sent in over early Tuesday j I morning by the artists at Elberon, and I before Wednesday night had on sale a ; | p per full of illustrations of the death-; i bed scenes. "A week later she seized | j another opportunity. The body of j the ds^ad President Garfield was to be conveyed to Washington on the Wednesday after his death, and funeral | services to be held in the Capitol on Friday, before the removal of the remains for Cleveland for the final ceremonies. Mrs. Leslie resolved to ; anticipate the usual day of publication the following week, and deposit in Cleveland papers containing full illustrations ol the scenes at Washington on Monday morning. She sent for the President of the American ZS'ews Company, and communicated her purpose, lie was incredulous and doubtful; she insisted it could be done and should i-- ?.,,i :4. "Vrwf lots fhnn j UU UUIIC, umi 11 ??as. iwi I 30,000 copies of the "Weekly" were ! sent to Cleveland, where they sold so I readily that it is believed as many i more could have been easily disposed i of. Such achievements as these soon vindicated Mrs. Leslie's claim to snc, ceed the founder of the great publishing j house. The expenses were nccessa: rily enormous, but the outlay was more than returned in a circulation higher than the paper had ever before reached, and in the establishment of nublic confidence in the new pub iislxer. There is nobody in the business who possesses more thoroughly the confidence of the heads of the great news companies with whom i publishers of Illustrated papers must ; have the most intimate relations. The money got from the enormous sale of the week at the time of the Garfield assassination was that which largely repaid the loan from Mrs. Smith and put the great house upon its feet j again. It is now a splendid property, I rrr/^..<K n million dollars >> VI III HVUl XJ \Ji. W and this lady is the owner and head of it all. Personally Mrs. Leslie is a most charming woman, a petite, graceful figure, a shapely, well poised iic&d, set upon perfect neck and shoulders, and crowned with mass of golden brown hair, "a head full of first qual; ity brains," as an enthusiastic writer recenly remarked. She has a clear, bright complexion, and the most glorious great grey eyes imaginable. Eyes full of sympathy, of kindliness, ; of laughter, ller kindness toward rrmiicv irrUpps 15 Wfll kllOWll. SllC is ;vi.,.3 ? . .. ever ready with advice, and oftentimes : unostentatious yet substantial assistance. It is difficult to indicate in cold type (he charm of a thoroughly womanly womanhood like !Mrs. Leslie's. ' There is that subtle magnetism which 1 words cannot express. Jler voice is t singularly sweet and pleasing and in - speech she is winning and direct. She ; dresses with exquisite taste. In her ; office in plain business-like black, but at the opera-and receptions site is 1 splendid in diamonds and laces that [ were earned by the resources ol her own strong brain. She has manv ; warm friends among the best known literary and artistic people of the day, ' in this country and in Europe. Aggregates for Doubling Small Amounts. The delusive result or multiplying by two, or ^doubling numbers several times, is very well illustrated in the following story, which a Western newspaper man has set going the rounds: A merchant employed a clerk, who wanted the place principally to learn the business, "salary being no object/' At the suggestion of this industrious seoker after knowledge and contemner of worldly goods, the merchant will..
