Paul J. Slicht and Mr. E. D. Walker, also solicited the
previous editor to accept reappointment. But Edward, feeling that his
baby had been rechristened too often for him to father it again,
declined the proposition. He had not heard the last of it, however,
for, by a curious coincidence, its subsequent owner, entirely ignorant
of Edward's previous association with the magazine, invited him to
connect himself with it. Thus three times could Edward Bok have
returned to the magazine for whose creation he was responsible.
Edward was now without editorial cares; but he had already, even before
disposing of the magazine, embarked on another line of endeavor. In
sending to a number of newspapers the advance sheets of a particularly
striking "feature" in one of his numbers of _The Brooklyn Magazine_, it
occurred to him that he was furnishing a good deal of valuable material
to these papers without cost. It is true his magazine was receiving
the advertising value of editorial comment; but he wondered whether the
newspapers would not be willing to pay for the privilege of
simultaneous publication.
