42:59
literary teams were in verse. You will note two volumes of homes in my
43:02
list. Finding at fifteen that the schools within my reach did not meet my
43:07
requirements, I went to work and began educating myself along lines of least resistance.
43:14
My occupations were various. Worked in printing offices, learned shorthand, became
43:21
stenographer in a law office, was in newspaper work for twelve years. At
43:25
thirty, was auditor and treasurer of a coal mining corporation in Colorado. After
43:30
three years of business, became a writer of books. When I was eighteen,
43:36
I wrote three short stories which were published, and after that wrote no
43:39
fiction till I was thirty two. I haven't thought of it before, but
43:44
it was odd that I wrote no short stories and had no interest in that
43:47
form until about five years ago. Since then, I have done a number
43:52
every year without being a politician. I have dabbled somewhat in political matters,
43:58
making speeches at times, and abusing my fellow partisans. I am a Democrat
44:02
when they needed chastisement. I have been defeated for nominations and have declined nominations.
44:09
And I once refused a foreign appointment of considerable dignity that was very kindly
44:15
offered to me by a president. When it comes to interests, I have
44:21
I suppose a journalistic mind. Anything that is of contemporaneous human interest interests me,
44:28
even free verse, which I despise but read. Mister Nicholson lives in
