Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Heart Throbs: In Prose and Verse In the National Magazine for September, 1904, the following announcement was first published: "I Will Give $10,000 For Heart Throbs." I am editing the National Magazine for what Lincoln loved to call us, "The plain people of America." President McKinley told me I could do it, and the magazine has been a success beyond all expectations. Now, I want you to help me edit the National, and I am going to give ten thousand dollars to those who will do it. What I want is real heart throbs - those things that make us all kin; those things that endure - the classics of our own lives. Send me a clipping, a story, an anecdote, or a selection that has touched your heart. It is in the American homes that I am searching for the literature that endures - those things that touch and pulsate with the best and noblest emotions and sentiment. It may be in that old school book in the attic; it may be be tween the leaves of the family Bible; it may be in mother´s scrap-book, yellow with age and hallowed by sacred memories; it may have been given you when you could scarcely read through the tears; it may be one of father´s jovial jokes pasted on the side of his desk, or in that drawer long since unopened; it may be that clipping well worn from taking out of the pocketbook often to show a friend for a hearty laugh. Wholesome good cheer, humor, com fort, hope - those things that make dark days endurable and sunny days enduring. In this way I hope to get those priceless little gems which you have always looked for in your favorite periodical. Heart throbs - yes, heart throbs of happiness, heart throbs of courage, heart throbs that make us feel better. Those things that appeal to you must appeal to others; that note of inspiration laid aside - bring it forth and let us make a magazine that will speak the language of the heart as well as of the mind.
