Mr. Bangs was graduated from Columbia in 1883, and studied law there for a year, but never practiced.

In the capacity of editor he has also been connected with "Harper's Magazine," "Literature," "Harper's Weekly," "The Metropolitan Magazine," and "Puck." Since 1905 he has devoted his entire time to writing.

As soon as he was out of college, Mr. Bangs took up the career of an author, and has produced many humorous books as well as several farces and musical comedies. Among his better-known works might be mentioned "New Waggings of Old Tales," "Coffee and Repartee," "A House Boat on the Styx," "The Pursuit of the House Boat," "Ghosts I have Met," and many others of the same character.
