Interesting Story of His Development as a Poet. His Work Is Rapidly Increasing. Speaking of tho condition of his health and tho prospect of Its again exiling ''him, Paul Laurence Dunbar, tho negro poet, who Is winning dis tinguished recognition, says: "I am afraid tho cllmato of Wash ington doesn't suit mo; but thoro' is so much to hold mo hore. Tho best negroes In tho country find tholr way to tno capuni, ana i navo a very cou- onlnl nnd dollghtful clrclo of friends. A year or so ago I went to Donvor, nnd Improveu vohry muc, but my D,tu'. ntlon wna a vory Ionoly and Isolated ono.

Wo Bat In tho poet's study, a largo room on tho second floor of his at Portloros curtained tho doorways, and Navajo rugs souvonlrs of his west ern sojourn with horo and thoro tho mounted skin of somo animal, stretch ed at full length boforo easy chair or sctteo, covered tho door. Tho walla woro adornod with posters, portraits of his follow authors and artists' proofs of Kemblo's Illustrations of "Folks From Dlxlo." whllo below woro rangod bookshelves, filled with volumos, Intorsporsed with tho var ious editions of his own works, and presentation copies of thoso of other wrltors. Tho contor of tho room was occupied by n flat top dock, with irronn-shaded lamp and adjacont typo wrltor. "Ab to my lltorary methods," Air. Dunbar said, "I wrlto when conven ience lets mo, or tho spirit moves mo, by object being to do a certain amount of work, rathor than to work a cortaln longth of time. When I first began my career I wroto rapidly, accomplishing, without difficulty, 5,000 words a day. Now I wrlto aiowly oh! bo slowly. I sometimes spend threo wooks on a Blnglo chap ter, and then am not satisfied with tho result. Indeed, I havo never yet succeeded In perfectly reproducing what wob In my own mind.

The first literary work for which ho was paid was a prose composition, bought for a syndicate and printed In the Chicago Record, Detroit Freo Press, Boston Qreen Dag and Now York In dependent During tho World's Fal? tho young writer went to Chicago, where ho re mained for several years, 'and In 180C, having resolved to devoto himself to literature, removed to Now York. Thero hp wroto a series of slum stories, contributing to tho Journal, Sun and Tribune, and doing a like work for tho World. At this timo his "Lyrics of Lowly Life" appeared with an Introduction by Mr. Howolls, "Folks From Dixie," followed, whon, embracing a long desired opportunity for foreign gravel, Mr. Dunbar went abroad, spending six months in Lon don, where he was entertained by tho first literary clubs of tho city and his works brought out in a substantial British edition..

A poem published In a Boston maga2lno by Allco Ruth Moo had attracted his attontton and upon his return from abroad ho mado tho ac quaintance of tho author, n nntlvo of Now Orleans, who had gone to Now York to pursuo a special courso of study. Thero sho passed tho examination for teacher in tho public schools with such distinction that alio was offered a position, nnd whon young Dunbar met hor sho was teaching a class ot GO Poles In tho morning and after noon, doing kindergarten work nnd giving Instructions In tho manual training school. From admiration of hor writings to admiration of tho author was an easy stop, and their acquaintance rapidly doveloped Into something moro. An engagement followed, and tho poet, who meanwhlla had rccolvod an ap pointment In tho Congressional li brary, returned to Now York, whore they wero qulotly married. Slnco that timo Mrs. Dunbar hns contributed occasionally to nows papers, to McCluro's Magazlno and the Ladles' Homo Journnl, and a col lection of her stories has rocontly boon brought out In book form. Of her lltorary ability her husband says: "Sho writes .much bettor proso than I i'o, and 1b lnvnluablo to mo ns a critic." All of his work Is typowrltton by hor, nnd much of It taken down In shorthand at IiIb dictation.

"Most men havo nt oomu porlod of their lives nn attack of agnosticism, as of inenslos, but with mo It has loft no scars." Speaking of dialect wrltors, ho says: "It Is dlfllcult to put any namo bo foro that of Ruth McEnory Stunrt. who depicts both tho humorous and pathetic sldo of tho raco with such fi delity.

Tho raven of southern Europe Is a hold fellow not unlike his cousin, tho crow. Some notices of the bird, given by an English traveler lu Corsica, offer amusing proof of this. A youth whom I employed to enrry my camera could never look on ravens with any ciuanlmtty, for he had suf fered much from their thievish Impu dence when sent to the hush to gather firewood. On one occasion he lost bis dinner, n loaf of bread wrapped In a mipklii, al though ho was working clone to tho spot whore ho had laid It, mid had turned tils hack for only a minute. But the most unpardonable Insult ho had ever received happened on a day when he wits out gathering wood. Ah ho was stooping down to hind a bundle of fagots, a raven suddenly swooped from behind, lifted the cap from his head and Hew away w,lth It lo a lofty crag, from which she uttered croaks of triumph. The cap was suhftcqtuwitly seen lined with straw and t'rvlin? fur n nest. Jly IIIn Workn.
