The prudent husbandman, after having taken from his field all the
straw that is there, rakes it over with a wooden rake and gets as
much again. The wise child, after the lemonade jug is empty, takes
the lemons from the bottom of it and squeezes them into a still
larger brew. So does the sagacious author, after having sold his
material to the magazines and been paid for it, clap it into
book-covers and give it another squeeze. But in the present case
the author is of a nice conscience and anxious to place
responsibility where it is due. He therefore wishes to make all
proper acknowledgments to the editors of "Vanity Fair, The American
Magazine, The Popular Magazine, Life, Puck, The Century, Methuen's
Annual," and all others who are in any way implicated in the making
of this book.
