A Definition or the Three Stages of Jour
 nalistic Deve opment.
 At the recent annual dinner of the Pittsburgh Press Club George s. Vel shons (St. George), one of the best known and wittiest newspaper men of the State, got of the following in re- sponse to the toast, "The Reporters
 F'There arc three grand divisions, !" MT. Welshons said, Gin newspaper work journalists, reporters and editors. Speaking more accurately there arc three stages of development. A jour- naiist is calf reporter. He is re- porter in the miniature tadpole stage, when his head is so big that it takes all the rest of his person to shove it around. If he is lucky, by and by he becomes reporter. After a reporters legs wear out they make an editor out of hlm. The final stage of a frog, you know the extreme removal from the tadpole is the bull-frog, too stiff to jump, too old and tough to eat, who just sits on tho bank and bellows. That is an editor.
 ''In tho old days the editor called a man chicken thfof, nowadays the re- porter finds the feathers in his back yard. The weapon of the old-time cd itor was the epithot; that of the modern reporter is tho evidence. What tho cd itor used to assert the reporter now proves
 eff the people who complain of what the reporter writes about them would only consider what he does not write about them they would shrine him in the friendlicst corner of their hearts. The wasto-baskets in a daily newspaper office of any town do more to keep it's citizens iii good repute than any other agency excepting the fear of the law and tho hereafter. Not all that the re- porter writes is truth He is not in- fallible himself, and those who are the sources of his information are much less so. There are very many men who can not tell straight story. There are others who do not try to. The man who tells the story to the reporter is usually an interested party. He has purpose to serve in metamorphosing this or sup pressing that. The reporter has no de- sire except to get the truth accurately and completely, and to write it quickly and entertainingly.
 ''All men do not love the reporter, and I am glad of it. The fear and hatred of bad men is as d chapletabove his brows. It is the assurance of his honesty to his badge of honor as a servant of truth. If a time ever comes when all men love the reporter it will be time to bury him. He will have forgotten his mission, be- trayed his trust and shamed the noble fellowship of men who have made the white cross of the Pittsburgh reporter the decoration of legion of honor.'

A TEMPERANCE STORY
Freight Handlers Tap Barrel of Whisky
 anl Then W.sh They Hadn't.

dnL IHCI W-Sn 1HSy hdun Js
 An exceedingly practical temperance lecture was preached to the freight handlers at one of the stations of tho Pennsylvania railroad short time ago, says the New York Tribune. The re- suit is that each man now wears blue ribbon and all mysterious-looking casks and barrels which are put off at that station and for which there are no known owners are left severely alone. A few months ago there came to this place by express a big barrel unaccom- panied by any thing and having no mark-by which the owner or it's des- tination could be learned. There was an odor of whisky about it, and it looked suspiciously like whisky barrel. A tracer was sent over the road, but noth- ing could be learned as to where it came from, to whom it was going or by whom it was owned. It stood on the platform for few days until 1t became a nuisance. The freight-handlers eyed it rather lOngingly, but could not get at it while it was in that conspicuous place By the order of the station agent the barrel was taken to the loft of the store room to await for possible owner who might turn up some time in the future It had been there for two or three months when one of the express com panies' men went to the station agent and told him he was looking for bar rel of alcohol with two skeletons inside of it.
 The station agent remembered the mysterious barrel and took the scarcher to the loft. He immediately identified the barrel as the one which he was look irg for. A kick from his foot produced a hollow sound, followed by the rattling of some dry objects inside. A closer ex- animation showed that numerous gim- let holes had been made in the head, and that the holes had been plugged up with matches.
 The station agent sent for the freight handlers to have them come to the loft and help take the barrel down.
 Its empty" faltered one of the men.
 ''Yes, know; but l want to see if there is any thing inside of it." said tho express agent, at the same time break ing in the head of the barrel with all axe. Out tumbled the two skeletons, to the horror and dismay of the freight handlers. They were dumfounded and fled from the loft instantly. Not one of the men turned up for work for thrcc days. All sent around word in the morn ing that they were sick. When they did come back each wore a blue ribbon, and they haven't since been known to take a drink of whisky. Unclaimed freight is absolutely safo at the station now
