Legs VS.. Brains in Journalism. +"

Atlanta Constitution.
Ny young friend-John Smith, for instance
who was graduated by university a few weeks
ago, and who rushed into Journalism" as he
called it, came into my room yesterday after
noon famed himself vigorously with his hat and
remarked:
''f snall quit this business"
'sYou mean you will leave the newspaper bust
nesslD asked.
Eyes" he replied; ''the truth is, newspapers
pay more for legs than they do for brains"
'sDo you mean that you have more brains
than legs2" asked with affected surprise.
II mean that have walked four miles in the
hot sunstrying to run down rumor and it won't
pan out FIVE lines"
SO Smith is going to quit the newspaper bust
ness because he has brains sell, when the news
papers want nothing but legs OF course Smiths
place will have to be filled. That is, man will
have to be put on when Smith vacares The
man who stays will have legs but he will
have brains also He will know first, shat news
is That will require brains Knowing what
news is. Smiths successor will get that news,
and he will get it quickly. That will require not
only legs, but it will reqnire perseverance and
persistence that regards neither distance diff
culties, nor circumstances. Journalism is one
thing, but the newspaper business is altogether
something else.

Oh give me but Virginias weed, =,
An earthen bowl, stem of reed,
What care for the weather?
Though winter freeze or summer broil,
We rest US from our days Of toll,
My pipe and together! ..u.
Like to priest of sacred fame.
1 nightly light the glow again
With reverence and pleasure;
For through this plain and modest bowl
coax sweet memry to my soul
And many tripping meas re!
There's comfort in each puff of smoke,
Defiance to ill-fortune's stroke,
And happiness forever!
There grows volume full of thought
And hu nor, than the book you bought
Holds nothing half so clever!
The summer-fragrance, all pent up
Among the leaves, is here sent up
In dreams of sum mer glory;
And these blue clouds that slowly rise
Were colored by the summer skies,
And tell a summer story.
And, OIL the happiest, sweetest times
Come ringing all their silver chimes
Of merry songs and laughter;
And all that may be well and worth
For Mother Future to bring forth
do imagine after.
What care I if my poor means
Glad not my walls with splendid scenes
And pictures by the masters;
IL Il.
Bold hills and lovely wales below,
And brooks with nodding asters.
All that on earth is fair and fine,
This fragrant magic makes it mine,
And gives me sole dominion;
And if you call me fanciful,
only take stronger pull,
And laugh at your opinion.
Let others fret and fume with care,
IT'S easy finding everywhere,
But happiness is rarer;
And if / find it sweet an d ripe,
In this tobacco and my pipe, -
I'll court it all the fairer.
Then give me but Virginia's weed,
An earthen bowl, a stem of reed,
What care for the weather?
Though winter freeze. or summer broil,
We rest us from the days of toll,
My pipe and 1 together.

eat his supper He had hardly been in there
a minute When one of party of English
gentlemen. who had arrived but the day

exclamation of Here, waitah; "a glass of

those who witnessed the incident, and readily
compreherded the Englishmans mistake,
while MIR. Pulitzer's face turned all the colors
shown through the spectrum, and he lost no
time i'll hiding his confusion by hasty and

was explained to him, Il didn't know but
