*Two months ago, Editor Osborne wrote to TIME:

"Your magazine, which I have taken for some time, gave me a hearty laugh some weeks ago in your entertaining comment upon the Boston Herald's account of my death. I regretted disappointing many excellent people; but I don't think a man ought to die just to satisfy others; it should be his own private affair,"
