The Prejudice Against Reporters.

The old time prejudice against report
ers is fast passing away. The pencil and
notebook scribe now finds little difficulty
in gaining access to any and every house
in town. This is especially the case with
women reporters, who are now chosen
from class of people who would as soon
think of moral suicide as Of violating a
confidence. Whatever is told them they
respect and only print that which is
actually intended for publication. Peo-
pie have found this out from experience
and they have gained confidence accord
ingly. But some of this reporting is ter
ribly exacting work and difficult to man
age. For example, Miss Reporter goes
to see Mrs. Interview about forgery in
which her brother was implicated
actually guilty, you know, but drawn
into the case in questionable way, possi-
bly, receiving diamonds for his wife when
the world said no diamonds were due.
snow, I'll tell you confdentially," be-
gins Mrs. Interview.
"No, please don't tell me confdentially,
because shall want to give the newspa-
pers fair account, and l can't do it il
you bind me in this way"
"Well, you can say that those jewels
were promised long ago and were given
to my sister-inla,w because she was of
service to Mrs. Blank when her last baby
was born. But please don't tell that"
81 think if you let me mention that
little fact every one win understand and
be in sympathy, and il will do your broth
er's side of the story lots of good"
"Oh, no! no, indeed! But you may tell
part of it"
And so the interview goes on, wearing
out the unhappy reporter. who must get
in her 'story." and who is doing battle
between her newspaper Instincts and the
betrayal Of confidence. Try reporting
little while if you think yon can always
tell the right thing and withhold the
wrong. just try it-Newport News

Give Out the Hymns Disslnctiy--Itats on
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by Wire.


ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by Wire.
There are few things more exasperat-
ing to church.goers than the careless
habit some clergymen have, OF course
unconsciously, when giving out the
hymn, to speak the first unit OF the
number in n clear stentorian tone, and
the other figures, say for instance, % in
the hymn No 1923 in die-away indis-
tinguishahle voice, SO that the greater
part of the congregation is ignorant OF
the number of the hymn to be sung
This is specially aggravating to the large
unrecognized increment of attendants,
that floating crowd, or unattached body
who go 10 any church that may suit
their momentary fancy and who are
stirred to the religious movement on
Sunday churches and from some vague,
nexplainable fancy for hearing again
and joining in the old songs and hymns
of childhood.
An amusing little story is told of an
estimablc citizen living in the western
part Of the city who al one time was a
telephone subscriber, but is not SO now
He is addicted to disappearing to an en-
traordinary degree, indeed he himself Is
not aware of the excuses 10 which his
questionable accomplishment has led
him. He did not change his natural
style even when talking through the
| phone. 1t was more than "enrs polite
could bear, and now his pyrotechnics
no longer flash fire across the wires,
The necessity of carrying ones hat in

How proud he'd be of Teddy now,

His eldest SON It marching off

Perhaps he -perhaps-tmy eyes

These things so filled my thoughts last

Icouldn't sleep wink.
And now he's ready-goodness me,
you're not going to cry
just think Of all the money you'll

And only think how fine twill be

we'll kiss me, then, goodbye;

She's thinking Of the path through life
she fondly planned for You;
Your college Years-the lovely dreams

and calms and ocean strife,
Oh, pilot this, my precious bark,
safe Ger the sea of life;
And plant in my rebellious heart

How your hair imprisoned the struggling

A "bud" yoii were; and the roses there,
Nesting their cheeks on your throat Sc

Dropped modestly half in bloom.
You gave me one-it was gayly done,

Saw the soft tints fly as the weeks went by
,, And discovered--I could not repress

The blossom was still like you.
