NOT TO BE BRIBED.
A DISGRACEFUL ATTEMPT TO IN
FLUENCE HERALD REPORTERS.
Written Up from His Point of View.
What the Plaintiff $ Attorneys Claim.

A disgraceful attempt was made to
bribe two reporters on this paper during
the progress of recent sensational suit
for damages. A weli-known private de-
tective, who is in the employ of the de-
fendant, approached one of the reporters
of the HERALD, and insinuated that if
he would go to the attorney for the de-
fendant he could make a twenty"
The reporter knew no honest way he
could make such an amount out of the
attorney, so he asked the detective for
particulars, when it was disclosed in an
insidious, CLOSED over way that it would
be compensation for writing the account
of the trial from the defendants point
of view The reporter spurned the offer,
and wrote impartial, straightforward re-
ports of the trial.
To another reporter on this paper the
same offer was made, but in this case
the possible reward was raised to fifty
dollars. When this reporter, with con-
siderable warmth, declined the PROPOSE
ton, he was begged not to mention any
names, and at last was persuaded to
make such promise; were it not for his
word, the names of all the parties con-
cerned would here be given.
The attorneys for the plaintiff claim
to have ample evidence showing
that some reporters were venal enough
to be tempted, but it is to be hoped that
this is mistake.

Mr.. GRADY'S LAST CHRISTMAS.
He Es,Joyed It at Hou With His Aged

He EaJoyed 1t at Hou' With His Aged
Mother.
There are so many little incidents of his
life among US which are made up of pleas
ure and pain at this hour Well do l re-
day season. and the little story he told me
of it as / sat in his Office one morning after
New Years.
He had visited his mother in Athens
Christmas week, and he said II don't
think l ever felt happier than when l
reached the little home of my boyhood. /
got there at night. She had saved supper
for me, and she had remembered all the
things liked. She toasted me some cheese
over the fire. Why, hadn't tasted anything
like it since put off my round jackets.
And then she had some home made candy
she knew used to love; and, bless her heartl
l just felt sixteen again as we sat and
talked, and she told me how she prayed
for me and thought of me always, and
what brightness had been to her life,
and how she heard me coming home in
every boy that whistled along the street.
When went TO bed she came and tucked
the covers all around me in the dear old
way that none but a mothers hands know,
and l felt so happy and so peaceful, and so
full of tender love and tender memories that
cried happy, grateful tears until l went to
sleep"
When he finished his eyes were full of
tears and so were mine. He brushed his
hand across his brow swiftly and said
laughingly: "Why, what are you crying
about? What do you know about all this
sort of feeling" g?"-Atlanta Constitution.

Connubial Christmas Tarts.

If you hear man protesting loudly dur
ing the week against the promiscuous
slaughter of seals you may depend upon it
that he very grudgingly bought his wife n
sealskin sack for Christmas. Philadelphia
Call.
Now is about the time when the fond wife
will begin to hook change out of her hus
bands pockets with which to buy him a
surprise Christmas present, so as to make
him believe she loves him. m.-Kentucky State
Journal
People who think that Christmas is a
season of peace on earth and good will to-
ward men probably never saw man skir
mishing around at 5 o'clock on Christmas
eve with a perturbed mind and q five dollar
bill buying presents for a wife and nine
dearly beloved children.-Somerville Jour
nal.
The loving wife gave up S. for shaving
set as Christmas gift for her husband.
He has shaved with it just once, and now
his face looks as if he had been pitted
against Sullivan with hand gloves. He will
present his wife on New Years day with the
razor, with which to pare her corns. Wom-

FAME SIGHTED.
The Uncrowned Kings Trying to Evade
Their Obligations.

There are lot of 'uncrowned kings
in Los Angeles who some time ago
agreed with the history maker, H. II.
Bancroft, of San Francisco, that if he
would place diadem on their heads, by
putting biography and steel engraving
OF them in a book to be entitled "The
Chronicles of the Builders OF the Com
monwealth," they would literally rec
ompense him. Mr.. Bancroft or his
company does not make histories for
fun, or glory, SO each ambitious knight
had first to sign an agreement to pay
different sums, ranging from $500 to
$4,000. for that honor. The agreement
once signed, Mr.. Bancroft started up his
history factory and began the construc-
tiOn OF the agreed-upon amount of fame.
Everything went well, the history
mill worked smoothly, and number OF
rich men all over the state went into
training so as to be ready to bear the
exchange for their dollars. There were
geles who pungled up the specified
amount. But a reporter happened
to hear of this fame business, and in the
SOiA3 hCdiV VlOSS, NOdlSC pSCutloi w
reporters when they meet with any
thing which savors OF fake, he wrote
the whole business up, and for two days
the state Of California laughed ct the
uncrowned and their would-be subsi-
died glorifier. The result was that
fame was at discount, and those who
were previously so anxious for her favor
now wanted to renounce her, and re-
main uncrowned. Mr.. Bancroft, as
