8 THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBUMt THE COLUMBIAN. BUIOMSBURG, PA. TJ1UUSDA V, Ot TOHKU 2s. 1 )()! THE REPORTER'S TROUBLES. Much Censured by Inconsiderate Read ers. Much lias been said and often very foolishly said, of the mistakes of the newspaper reporter, but he does not blunder any more fre quently than the doctor, the law yer, the school teacher, or any oth er person, says an exchange. 1 1 is errors appear emblazoned on the printed page and because they are so apparent, some critics jump to the conclusion that he does little else than blunder. But for all the criticisms the re porter does not deal harshly with his fellows, although the opportu nity to do so is ever at hand. His is a profession in which mistakes are easy, for very much of the news which is gathered must be gleaned from a second person who has witnessed the occurrence that is to be described. As no two per sons ever relate the same incidents alike, these two will often quarrel as to the correctness of the other's version, it will be seen that the dif ficulty in getting a correct chroni cle is by no means easy. In view of the ina;.es through which his way lies in pursuit of facts, the newspaper reporter does very well. If the errors in their daily work made by the merchant, the clerk, the civil engineer, the banker, the minister, the mechanic or other worker were displayed as openly as the mistakes of the reporter on the printed page, these men would often have occasion to apologize for the sort of edvice they have given dur ing the day. But being human like other mortals the reporter gets in wrong" on some things. The flippant criticism, however. that "you can't believe anything you see in the newspaper is usu ally made by people who are the most eager readers of the paper they condemn, thereby stultifying themselves if their indictment is se riously delivered. When Thieves. Once, in the Valley of Some where, there was a large and well organized band of thieves, but they did not call themselves by that same, because it had become op probrious. Instead, they assumed the more polite title "politician." Now, it was the habit of these politicians to prey upon the people in season and out of season, for there was no closed season. Not only that, but for a long time they made the people like it, as was proved by the fact that the people were wont to hold elections and apportion the swag and the persim mons amoug the most prominent. This swag they called by the eu phemistic term "emoluments." For many years they thus lived peaceably. The people were a sim ple folk, and seemed to be content. Indeed, they thought that civiliza tion was impossible without politi cians. As time elapsed, however, the politicians became more greedy. In charging what the traffic would bear, they waxed more and more overbearing. Not only that, but they fought among themselves ever more and more bitterly. '"T is well that they fight," said the poet. "When thieves fallout, honest men receive their due." And so the people rolled over on the other side and went to sleep again. Things went on apace, but, in spite of their theories, the falling out of the thieves brought no relief to the honest men, for, though a number of honest men had appar ently survived the pernicious in fluence cf thief-rule, not one of Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury w ill surely destroy the sense of smell and completely de range the whole system when en tering it through the mucous sur faces.

At length a Wis; Man, who, by the way, was neither a newspaper editor nor a preacher, came forward from one of the backwaid provin ces of Somewhere. "Listen," said he. "Wouldn't it be nice if we could get along without any thieves at all? The devil is no better than the deep blue sea and vice versa I have heard it said that when thieves tall out honest men receive their due. Now, the point I want to make is this: I am reliably in formed that this falling-out is only a bluff. It is a sham battle arrang ed to conform to your theory. I cot this from mv son. who is en gaged to a stenographer of one of the thieves. Now, look here ! Thieves have too much fenscto fall out. The way for ns to get our due is to get rid of both sets of thieves." And the people barkened, and the Wise Man's words listened good to thein, whereupon they arcse in all their democratic might and bade both sets of thieves begone. Moral: When thieves seem to fall out, there's a hen on. Ki.i.is O. Jonks in November Lifpiiuvtls. Don't Neglect That Cough! . It certainly racks your system and may run into something sirious.

The city of Pittsburgh, the life of an actress, the franchise for women in Denver, all these are most entertainingly discussed in the Woman's Home Companion for No vember Special investigators who have gone to live in Pittsburgh, and who have had rare opportunities to ob serve its social life, say that "Pitts burgh may be likened to a huge pie, with upper and lower crust a plenty, but a noticeable lack of what the good housewife realizes is the chief feature the filling." As for the stage, the actress who tells her story here has found that twenty pounds of weight and a good digestion are but two of the things she paid for her experience. But women will no doubt still venture on the stage just as wom en will still struggle for the ballot in spite of the fact that in Den ver (according to an article by a Denver woman politician in this issue) the much-prized privilege has crumbled to dust in their hands. These women especially will be interested in the story of a club woman, who resigned abruptly from all clubs and will never go near them again. Yes, women will continue to venture and successfully as wit ness the experience of Lilian Todd, the first woman to build an aero plane, who tells her remarkable story in this month's Woman's Home Companion. A very different woman is Queen Elena, ideal mother, whose story is told by Kellogg Durland. A new detective story by Anna Katharine Green in this issue be gins well. There are stories also by Kate Douglas Wiggin, Alice Brown and many others. Aud there is another chapter of Edward Everett Hale's popular reminis cences. So much for pure entertainment. For practical use there are the six teen regular departments. Espec ially interesting are the two for mothers. Fashions in furs, an ar ticle on hammered brass, ' 'A Three-Thousand-Dollar House," are a few of the interesting, useful sub jects covered. A JOKER. A seedy-looking man entered a store in Trenton the other day, and asked for assistance, backintr tin his request with a long tale of sick ness and lack of employment. With a wink at his clerk, the merchant pointed to a friend who happened to be in the place, and replied: "Ask that gentleman. He is the proprietor. I am only a clerk." The friend received the beggar's request in a sympathetic manner, and, turning to the merchant, re marked: "This seems to be a wor thy case, Mr. Jores. Give him a dollar from the cash register," and walked out of the store. It was in vain that the merchant protested that it had been a joke. So insistent did the seedy one be come that "de boss's" directions should be carried out, that it was finally necessary to do so in order to be rid of him. November Lippincotl's Pending before the Supreme Court is the singular case of Joseph Croyle, claiming $30,000 of his brother-in-law, John Cohen, for board of some 25 years, principally in Carbondale, for nearly all of which Croyle alleges Cohen paid nothing. The defendant is rich. SHERIFF'S SALE.
