Jerome K. Jerome and Charles Battcll
ljomi, two eminent jofces-miths, are reg
istered at the Motel Portland, having es
caped Xrom annf-Jri-Tied populace on the
Sound. ifhey will dcllvci a Joint lecture
at the Balcer Theater tonight.
There wre a million reporters at the
American L.ine pier. In Saw York City,
vhcn the Steamer which bore Jerome K,;
Jerome, the author of -Three Men'lp a
Boat" across the Atlantic, crowded.' Into
her 'berth. Perhaps there were not that
many, but at any rate there were enough
10 Instil terror Into the heart of the
bravest man. The cause of all .this com
motion . -tood . defiant and ready. , loaded
with one or his choicest. Joker, but at the
last moment It failed him and he broke,
down and. jvept.
It is said that there was not a dry spot
on the river front.
It Is evident .that he did notiilkCiNc-A'
York, because he 'began to siring them
about thn'way to. pronounce his name. - It
seems. according, to the dispatches, that
he made them believe that It was Jerum
Jerum K. Jcrum. v
It does not take much to Interest a
New . Yorker. It pleased one paper to
print It Jeruinky Jerum, while another
had it Conn K. Germ. That is what a
man .gets for being funny, in Xew York.
When 'Jerome was safely away he said
that Xew York wa a hell of a good
place, but that the devil was -absent and
there was no one to keep order.
AVhen ho and his partner In crime.
Charles Battcll LoomJs, arrived in Forty
land last night there were not .so many
representatives of the press to greet
them, but wh;U there was of us did the
subjects justice and met them with a
ftiallty of sadness eminently appropriate
to the occasion.
Seated In the Lobby.
There as one of us. and 1 . was It. I
It ajn-sularly embarrassed Jn meeting
: t-ua eminent jdkers In the way I
t.i-J. I hsd mnde arrangements to send up
n;. --d ad then descend upon tjicm
van the Oignlty befitting my position as
-liaicu- wjilor. but It. didn't work that
way.
Tlu . re "seated in the lobby -of the
loi'. ru&nd, inconspicuous, sad nnd
loncjate t xcept for each other's'company.
Now. jokmg Is a serious matter, and I
hc.-2tatcd about breaking in on their mus
ings for fear of spoiling a good one, but
I hud to oo it. Jokes are scarce, and as
Mr. Jerome has said they are born and
made. They come from heaven, or' fome
such pU .f as that.
There xt re three of us as we sat down.
Three men and a goat I was also "the
goau :tt least I felt like one.
Mr. lom1s Is an American. His pale
but intellectual countenance -was sur
mounted by a cap. and I noticed with In
terest that he looked very much like his
pictures.
Even you know what -an Englishman
looks Jike. lie Is usually pictured In a
long frock coat with a silk hat towering
over his aristocratic face. I have seen
lots of Englishmen Just like that myself,
but I was disappointed In our distin
guished visitor from England. He dJdhlt.
look ilk a Mormon, but he had the ap
pearance of a man whose life had been
spnt In' the free and untrammelled West.
There is a merry twinkle In his. eye: a
genial smile takes possession of his face
when ho Is about to djcUver a joke. He
Is an American pure anQsImple, although
born abroad of English parents.
lie Is 47 years old, and was educated in
the Philological School of -Mai-ylebone, In
london. That Is where be learned so
many words and is probably -where he
acquired hisr middle name, which 4s
Klapka. lie didn't tell. me that: I guessed
lL At one time he was a railroad man.
I understandAIhat the life was too rapid
for him, so he became a stenographer,
loiter he was an actor in Aahby's Thea
ter; and then, as bad grew to worse, he
became a reporter, and finally an editor.
In conjunction with Robert Barr, another
EngUsh humorist, born in Canada, he ed
ited "The Idler." a well-known maga
zine published In London. He soon found
ihat he was acquirlng the work habit, so
he dropped that and went to grinding ut
books such as "Three Men' in a Boat. Xot
Including Montmorency, the Pup": "On
the Stage and Off,' "Stagcland," "Novel
Notes.' When e did 'not have anything
else; to do he occupied his mind writing
1layfc. A -few of hjs best known are:
"Sunset," . "Barbara," "Woodbarrew
Farm," and "New Lamps for Old
Charles B. I6btii's.
Charles Battcll Loomls, Jerome! ''col
league on the present tour. Is Another
gentleman who has managed to get along
without work. His contributions to the
joy of the world, worked -up in 'his leisure
moments, consist in part of "Cheerful
Americans," "Merc Cheerful Americans,"
"The Tour-Masted Catboat," and besides
.that he contributes emce .a month rse
to the Century, .Atlantic 2sthly, the
Outlook, the Saturday Evenfng Pom. the
NewTprk. Sjjn, and 49 eri ether papers.

X.- ,-.(; t of; :atl v wtasT .Oc , an
other ,laiy man, haa said o.f 'Uomis: "1
never heard -a wore interesting roan
than" yourself; and if we ever lecture on
the tame date I'll close to hear you."
These lethargic, though worthy gentle
men, will lecture at the Baxter Theater
tonight.
It is said that the present - effort is
made to prepare them for another long
period of rest. I am inclined to think that
it is a deep-seated scheme on the part of
our English cousins to dispel the idea
prevalent in this country that a Brit
isher cannot understand a joke. There
arc several eminent jokesmitha in Eng
land that have been held up Jto us as an
example of what a Briton can do. There
is J. 21. Barrie, bilt he Is a Scotchman.
Quiller-Couch is a Corn Lehman, Robert
Barr is a Canadian; and last, but not
least, we have -Jerome K. Jerome. It la
said that he is an Englishman, but 1
don't believe it. M. B. "WELLS.

exceptionally well presented and acttd.
PAMOUS HUMORISTS TONIGHT
Jerome K. Jerome and- Charles Bat
tell Loom Is at the Baker.
Enj-Und Is not famed for her humorist, yet
the name of Jrrom- K. Jerome ha traveled
across the Atlantic and he has made a repu
tation here a a man who sees the funny tide
of life and hen the faculty of corcmlttlnt his
observations to paper In an attractive way.
He comes to America for the flnrt time, prob
ably to gather some interesting material for
future use from his travejt. His "Three ilea
in a Boat" has, it is said, as large a ale as
any work ever published In England, and
every reader Is familiar with his "idle
Thoughts of An Idle Fellow" and "American
TVlves and Others." Thus far in all .cities
-alier Mr. 3erome ha appeared, far-Mon, cul
ture and Intellectuality, commingled in a har
monious and happy gathering.
It is said that for two hours Mr. Jerome and
his companion, Charles Battcll Loomls, Veep
their audiences in a constant flurry of merri
ment. Mr. Jerome as a speaVer is said to be
Intensely amuslns, and Mr. Ioomls Ui said to
have a sense of humor that is most refresh
ing. The combined entertainment that these
well-known authors will Five tonlsht at th

- OF DISCUSSION".
Leaders In the Foreign Fields, Tell
the Yonnger Folk What Has
Been Accomplished.
The second day's session, of the Young
People's Missionary Institute, meeting In
jLhls city at the Firs; Congregational
Church. ' piroved entirely .satisfactory' to.
the many delegates present and especial
ly to the leaders of the movement. The
institute is a series of study classes on
missionary work Interspersed with ad
dresses by able men who have long ibeen
In the missionary field and' arc thoroughly
famlllar with existing conditions and the
necessities of the future.
"We are looking ahead fully. 13 years,"
said Rev. E. D. Soper last evening. "The
principal thing in this Institute will be
what we are going" to leave behind. This
will be thoroughly discussed-at the after
noon session Saturday. We realize that
the missionary field is broadening at such
an alarming rate that we shall not be
able to supply It in the -future unless we
begin to prepare for it now. The young
people who form the church organizations
of today will be looked to In future years
to cdnduct missionary work and they
must be educated to it."
Mr. J5oper Is one of the most enthusiastic-'
workers at the Institute. Tie ha?
made several addresses and is thoroughly
up on all phases of missionary work, hav
ing been bom and reared In it. His par
ents live In Japan and he was horn there.
While still very young he has had'a vast
amount of experience.
The Ftudy classes, which were formed
Thursday, were continued yesterday and
will be In session again today. A half
hour talk by Mr. VIckrey followed the
classes of the afternoon on '"Missionary
Literature.'.' Dr. Smythe, a missionary
who -has- done much work In China, was
one of the speakers of the afternoon and
spoke again In the evening In the public
meeting.
A general missionary meeting Is a good
place to meet men who have had strange
experiences and- traveled much-, One of
these present at this Institute I- Dr. X.
F. E. Leuring. of Singapore. Dr. Leuring
is x celebrated linguist, being able to
preach In 25 languages 'and to converse in
seven or eight others In. addition. He has
spent many, years In the Orient and had
wonderful succcs-- with .savages. Dr.
Leiirin-r was 'the first white man to go
among the Dyaks. or head hunter? of
Borneo, who came away alive.- He suc
ceeded In making friends with this sav
age tribe, whose greatest glory is the possession-
of skulls, and when he left the
chief presented him with a. skull, which
was a symbol of his wish to. make a
change In hli mode of living. The
nephews of this old chlcf'arc now mend
ing a mission school accordfng . to the
directions left by their warrior', uncle.
Last night Dr. Leuring -?poke on -soine of
the results of missionary work s?lic has
seen there, arid captured his audience, by
his Interesting descriptions. . ' '
Tonight Rev- E. D. Boper and Dj 3.

another Institute will be held. . Thence'
they go to Minneapolis and then; to-Buffalo,
