From the New York Commercial Advertiser.
Many interesting stories could be told
by some newspaper writer's if they
choose as their subject the significant
little word "fuke."
Years ago, when the "moon hoax"
was printed in the Sun, taking" WAS
Snown as "hoaxing." As it became
mere and more common in certain
newspapers. particularly during the
war, fake was called a canard. At
last an apparently suitable name has
been found Tor a ialsehood clothed in
truthful type. Imaginative pieces Of
news are now called simple "fakes."
Fakes are o.ten killed in their infancy
or before they appear IN print to go be-
fore the world as genuine news. An in
stance Of this kind occurred recently in
the editorial rooms OF a morning paper.
1t was midnight when q newspaper
writer of note hurried into the city
department and whispered hurriedly
into the eyer-ready ear Of the night city
editor.
So" said the editor. "What is it 81
There WAS more whispering by the
newspaper writer. low whistle from
the editor, and a nod of approval. Half
an hour later the copy of IAN exclusive
sensation" lay on his desk, and the
newspaper writer was hurryIng to the
counting-room with an order for $50 in
cash.
But the story never appeared, al
though it had a narrow escape. The
plot was laid in Washington, but through
one small error the hoax was discoy-
cred. While the writer acknowledged
the fake, he unconeernedly excused it
by saving that he arrived in town with
ont his pocket-book, and had to raise
money immediately"
Other less daring fakirs confine them
selves to bogus interviews with promi
aent persons IN stories that are pub
llshed as rumors in one edition to be
contradlcted III the next. Some fake
writer's delight to write wonderful yarns
about actors and actresses. Jay Gould
has furnished columns OF clever fakes in
his eyentful career. while Mr.. Cleve-
land, Gen. Sherman, Chauncey NJ. De-
rev and a number of other notable
men have been victims OF fakes, many
OF which have almost passed as facts in
to history OF their lives. AS q specimen
Of the genuine flake" the Hayes chick
eH-raising story may be cited. Many
persons believe to-day that Rutherford
i. Hayes. once president of the United
States, is raising chickens for pleasure
and profit at his Ohio home. That story
was an amusing fake" and it lived.
Practical.
According to the philosophers every
thing has two uses, a lower and high
er. Some very common people find
this out for themselves, SO far, at least,
az the practical application of it is con-
serned
