jim s Kids.

g Jim was a fisherman-up on the hill
Over the beach lived he an his wife
In a little house-you kin see it STILL
An their two fair boys; upon my life
You never seen two hkelier kids,
In spite o their antics an tricks an noise,
Than them two boys!
Jim would go ont in his boat on the sea-
Just rs the rest on MS fishermen did
And when he come back at night thard be
Up TO his knees in the surf each KID,
A beck min an cheerin' to fisherman jim
He'd hear EN-, yOu bet above the roar
OF the waves on the shore.
But one night Jim came saiin home,
And the little kids weren't on the sands
Jim kinder wondered they hadn't come,
And a tremb!ih' took holt o his knees and
hands,
And he learnt the worst up on the bin
In the little house, an he bowed his head
THE fever, they said.
Twas an awful time for fisherman Jim.
With them darliu's dyin' afore his eyes
They kept "a calm an beck min him,
For they kind o wandered in mind-their
cries
Were about the waves an fisherman Jim
An the little boat a-sailin' for shore
Till they spoke no more.
Well, fisherman Jim lived on and On,
And his hair grew white and the wrinkles
came
Buthe never smiled, and his heart seemed gone
And he never was heard TO speak the name
OF the little Kids who were buried there
UP on the NH IN sight o the sea,
Under ilicr tree.
One night they came ana told me to haste
To the house on the HILL for Jim was sick,
And they snid hadn't no time 10 waste,
For his tide was ebbin' powerful quick,
An he seemed to be wand rim and crazy like,
An a seein' sights he oughtn't to Sec
An had called for me.
And fisherman Jim seq he 70 me,
cts my last. last cruise you understand
I'm a-sailin' dark and dreadful sea,
But of on the further shore, on the sand
Are the kids, who's a-bcck'niu and calm my

In the long ago"
No, sir; he wasn't afraid 10 die,
For all that night he seemed 20 see
His little boys Of the years gone by,
And to hear sweet voices forgot by me;
An Just as the mOrnin sun come up
They're holding me by the handsl no

An so he died. -IEugene Field.

The Reporters Work.

OF the inside work of any business or
profession the public is more or less
IGNORANT. OF all others it confesses its
ignorance, but of the reporter work it
conceiyes theories which are rather
amusing. but much more aggraYatng.
The theory that Il number Of young
men are hying about the town gather
inc up notes, which some Office man
clicks into shape is very common.
Another common theory is that the
reportorial staff of each paper is turned
loose at q certain hour each day to
find out what is going on in the city,
and that each individual one exercises
his own secret will as to where he shall
90 or what he shall do. Several times
a day the reporter hears some citizens
say:
IL should think YOU fellows would
get all mixed up, several OF you going
to the same place after the same thing,
and occasionally, when the reporter
happens around several hours after an
important and unexpected thing has
happened. by diligent questioning finds
out all about it and writes a particu
larry vivid description, some citizen
asks, How did you happen to have
man there just in time?"
The most exasperating idea Of the
public is that time cuts no figure in the
reporters work.
Come around in the morning, Mr.
Smith will be here at o'clock, and he
will be glad to tell YOU all about it, ~
says the courteous gentleman whom the
reporter finds in Mr. Smiths Office,
and then the reporter wants to club the
courteous gentleman for not knowing
that Mr.. Smiths story must be ready
for the printers before l o'clock the
next morning Does the courteous
gentleman think, Ierchance, that the
reporter is getting information for some
good, quiet quarterly?
People are sure that the reporter goes
everywhere and sees everything They
see him on duty at the theatre or con-
vention. and the impression is made
that his time is filled only by those pub
lie occurrences which appear to be most
pleasant and agreeable things to make
note of. The fact that he works from
four to eight hours longer every day
than the longest-worked man in any
other profession, and that therefore he
has not even time to attend to his own
private business, is not known. II it
were not that the work is full Of variety
its hours would kill him in year.
These people with the queer questions
and the funny notions of newspaper
work are the ones who occasionally
come in contact with newspape' men.
There are some hundreds of mel who
never made a report for a newspaper,
who are unerring guides as to the value
of news. They are the men whm the
reporter meets every day, and from
whom he gets information-th city Of
iiccrs, clerks of courts, railway officials
and the like, who get every day cough
information to fill volumes, out (which
the reporter picks a few paragraphs or
a column. BY long acquaintance with
the reporter ways the informant Comes
to know just what he wants and yiyes
it to him.

An Accommodating Reporter.

A story is told about Senator David
Davis and a reporter. The latter had
called on the Judge to ask for Informal
ton of such a nature that the very ques-
ton was an insult to a man of Mr.. Da-
Wis character Looking calmly at him,
and slightly bracing himself in his
chair, the Judge asked his interlocutor
to step to the window and look down.
He did SO.
