The Chicago Times-Herald published a significant share of the early prose fiction and verse of L. Frank Baum. The newspaper was Baum's most consistent market in the middle 1890s. Early Baum stories that appeared in the Times-Herald include: * "They Played a New Hamlet" (28 April 1895) * "Who Called 'Perry'?" (19 January 1896) * "Yesterday at the Exposition" (2 February 1896). The paper also printed poems by Baum, including: "Two Pictures" is a sports poem, while "The Latest in Magic" is about the discovery of X-rays in 1895.
