MEMORIES OF "MR. PUNCH."
ON THE ORIGIN OF HAPPY THOUGHTS."
BY SIR FRANCIS DURNAND. "Happy Thought? How did the iden originate?
How do any ideas originate? Jove's bursting brain originated Minerva. But did Jove think Minerva into being, that is, "think her out," or did the Goddess crack the Divinity's skull, and take the opportunity to come out strong Just when Jupiter wasn't thinking about Any. thing in particular? Was the "Happy Thought" which was subsequently not very happily translated into the French edition of the published work as "Fenides Heureuses"-expressive of a sudden inspiration, write

My answer to this is. "Yes, most undoubt edly." Mad considered it, studied it, turned it over and over, arranged and rearranged its Il y a mode, at exiression, some days before I commenced to write it? No, not for
ane moment.

Hatter myself on having been | most considerate towards my friends-and thứ, great as was their success in "Punch," i was only when they food had a sun of some four months that anyone un ane staff of "Punch" (always excepling the editor, Mark Lemon) expressed an opinion about them to me ter sonally, and that was Shirley Brooks, who used to quote from them with chuckling delight..

How did it happen? Thos. A kind angle of mine, George Bishop, had a house and grounds. Antony, Messrs. Armstring, J. Arnold, Mr.
on the river side, at Twickenham, just opposite the Duke of Buccleuch's at Richmond. In these grounds George. Rishóp had boilt an observa. tory for the well-know astronomer, Mr. Hind. This was open to the Astronomer oyal night and day; he could come, and make any obser vations he liked, matter what their strength might be, us, unless my uncle happened to be present (and he didn't mind), it was not likely that there would ever be anyone to hear the astronomer's wise sayings, unless he happened to be accompanied by his clerk, an astiono. mer minor in the same line of celestial business as himself. Certuinly in the courses", the "You can have this room to yourself," said my uncle to me, the next one Du Chailiu will occupy "the entinent African explorer was a visitor there for some weeks-"ooly," my un- cle went on to say, "you'll both have in clear out whenever ind wants ie be, there for his work."
stars were in my favour
But the good astronomer was very consi derate. Whenever he did arrive in was late at night, and he and his clerk warhed til nearly dawn. Then by 11e time that dather Du Chail
wri were ready for action, the star-gazers ใน . had vacated, and we were alone in do our worst, or best.
Occasionally Du Chailla would took in on me for a chat, or I would ask him if he were inclined for a ride, ton on the river, or a walk. Sometimes, as it subsequently appeared, he had only "dropped in" for the purpose of read- ing to me extracts from his forthcoming book, when he would dramtally illustrate the scenes, with the aid of tables and chairs for rocky ground, and a walking-stick for a riße.
COMPANIONE OF MY TOIL
The work itself had been commenced at my friend F. C. Wilson's house, Theubalds, Wal- tham, a delightful old place which at one time had formed part of the Hunting Lodge occu
led by King James!
