Oscar Wilde is seen viewing America of the i88o's from the cowcatcher, Lloyd Lewis is playing "Casey Jones," while Henry Justin Smith is tomahawking an Indian from the wood-car. This rather elaborate cartoon is supposed to convey a jumbled notion of the book Oscar Wilde Discovers America on which Lewis and Smith are collaborating. Henry Justin Smith is the managing editor of the Chi cago Daily News, and the author of many books including the early novel for tvhich this cocktail is naïued. For thirty years he had his desk in the old Daily News building, and knew ail the office cats and such mice as were smart enough to get aivay. He seems to find newspaper work in a skyscraper whose elevators boast chrofnium- plated doors not unlike that in the four-story relie of the early nineties. Smith goes home every night to Glencoe, Illinois, tvliere he and his wife live under a huge elm tree— in a house, however.
