the Colonel promptly sprang TO his

said. Gentlemen, / am q Kentuckian;

Reporters differ in many ways.
Some are purely descriptive, in some a
bump of humor is magui6oently de,
yeloped, some permeate a story, short
or long, with indioes OF personality.
Others are cast iron in recital, and
make their stories as piquant as an
slgebraic problem. A good reporter,
gifted with normal spirits aud health,
