"The Greatest Man the Country Ever Knew” Only a few years ago every street organ from New York to ’Frisco sang the praises of “Mr. Dooley” and with true Hibernian generosity hailed him as “the greatest man the country ever knew.” “Mr. Dooley” is Finley Peter Dunne but Finley Peter Dunne, is more, much more, than “Mr. Dooley.” Grave or gay, Mr. Dunne is the sin- cerest, sanest, most clear-sighted writer in America to-day. He is unques- tionably our most brilliant satirist. That complacent bigot, Mr. Worldly Wiseman, his latest brain-child, stands as the most notable literary achievement of the year. Every month, beginning in the November Metropolitan Magazine, Mr. Dunne will write _his observations of men and affairs under the dey mental heading “FROM THE BLEACHERS.” Witty and wise, it wil be Mr. Dunne at his best. It will make the Metropolitan the one magazine you will want to read the coming year.
