The son of Peter McArthur and Catherine McLennan, natives of Scotland, he was born in Ekfrid Township, Canada West and was educated at the collegiate and model school in Strathroy and at the University of Toronto.

He was editor of ''Truth'' from 1895 to 1897 and also wrote articles, poems, and humour for various publications. In 1902, he moved to London, England, where he contributed to ''Punch'', the ''Review of Reviews'' and ''The Daily Paper''. In 1903, he published ''To be taken with salt: being an essay on teaching one’s grandmother to suck eggs''. McArthur returned to New York in 1904, working as a partner in an advertising agency. In 1907, he published ''The prodigal, and other poems''. He subsequently moved back to Ontario, settling in Ekfrid in 1908. There he worked a small farm and contributed to the ''Toronto Globe'' and the London ''Farmer's Advocate and Home Magazine''. He published selected articles from those publications as ''In pastures green'' in 1915 and ''The red cow and her friends'' in 1919. From 1910 to 1912, he published eight issues of a journal called ''Ourselves: a Magazine for Cheerful Canadians''.
