The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1892-12-02

Here Dir. Kipling remembered
that his dinner was on the table and
he said, 81 did not intend to say a
dozen words to you and you have
committed another crime in making
me eat cold dinner.
Eyes, as you said in your note, I
am a boor. / am glad OF it. /
want people to know il, especially
newspaper reporters, but | try to be
civil TO decent people"
The sturdy form went inside the
door, and the interview was over. !
The reporters, Of course, arc very
indignant with Mr. Kipling for his
contemptunus treatment Of the Gin
terviewer, /" but the public general
~ will side with the Englishman.
Where a mans privacy is intruded
on and bis personal affairs pried
into by over-zealous newspaper rep
resentatives, he ought TO put them
down rs brusquely as Mr.. Kipling
did. A writer in the Boston Trans
cIlpt says
"If to be n reporter means that
one must sneak up to a man and
interview him whether he would
bo interviewed or not, then all re-
porters should be sworn Mt on sight.
Authors, clergymen, gentle ladies,
all should swear at reporters, and
it should be deemed a pious and
philosophical act. Mr.. Kipling
told the reporter who sneaked up
on him in this fashion that he, Kip
ling, was boor, and wanted to be
regarded rs one, If it would make
such people let him alone. Every
body ought to be this kind of a
boor. The way in which reporters
dog the steps OF famous men and
women-dcpriving them Of every
shred OF privacy, presenting them
in every sort of false light. making
them say things they never said,
doing every impertinent and offen-
sIve thing that q malignant fancy
can invent-is fast rendering the
trade of the reporter odious, and
making everybody who does news-
paper writing ashamed of it."

Even now / cannot read with dry
eyes the fulsome description OF her
playing which prematurely wrote.
and which, in the light of more
thorough knowledge OF musical
terms, should have been edited by
our home band.
From the Sentinel / went into
official life for a time rs Justice of
the peace, and then with Judge
Blair as the moving spirit, the
Boomerang was started. / bought
the material; and then edited the
paper about three years, during
which time got together a collec-
tion Of poverty and squalor which is
still referred TO with local pride by
the pioneers still there.
The Boomerang newspaper was
regarded as q prosperous enterprise
by those who did not have TO pay
the bills. II was extensively copied
by the press Of America, and even
abroad. The news companies be-
gan to order it, and one copy was
taken in Europe. All this made
mo proud and cheerful but il did
not appeal to the Chinaman who
was my laundress at the time.
/ can now sec that a paper like
the boomerang, in the natural
course Of events, could not by any
possible means have become a val
liable piece of property, exceptas u
sort of gymnasium for the editor
to practice industry and economy
in. Papers of this character have
never paid. We had everybody in
the territory on our subscription
list, and after the summer massacre
was over, and the Indians came
back TO the reservation for the win
ter, some OF them used to subscribe
also but even If wo had every man
who read, we did not have more
than enough TO squeeze along.
Kind-hearted exchanges copied us.
and credited us day after day and
week after week but still wo Lam
guished, and even the stockholders
could not understand that paper
might be copied over several cont.
nents and yet die of inanition.
There are gray streaks in the ed
itor's hair, and a wrinkle here and
there that came when he walked
the floor of nights with that feeble,
pulling, colicky journalistic child;
but with those gray hairs he got wis
dom and learned patience. He learn
ed to be more prOdigal with his hu-
NOR, and more economical with his
means. and when he got a little
grist OF sunshine, he called in the
neighbors, and when one woe camo
as the advance agent Of a still great
er, allied woe, travelling by means
OF its own special train, he worked
it up into a pathetic story and made
some ono else the hero Of it.

Rudyard Kipling, who is now liy-
ing al Brattleboro, Vermont, recent
ly INDUCED in some very plain lam
guage TO a Boston reporter who in
sisted upon 'interviewing" the iras-
chile Englishman. The newspaper
man first met Mr. Kipling walking
on the highway near Brattleboro,
and was roughly repulsed, but fol-
lowed him home, and sent note in
again requesting an interview. Mr..
Kipling came out on the porlicO
where the reporter was seated and
after exchanging greetings, no said,
among other things:
Il decline to be interviewed.
American interviewing is brutal and
immoral. 1t il an outrage to be as
saulted on the public highway, and
asked to give the details of ones
private life.
"What right has the public TO
know anything about me 2 | am
not in public life. ] detest the way
American newspapers spread every
little detail of private life on the
back pages of the Sunday newspa-
pers. even to the trimming that a
woman has on her petlicoat.

exception among American news
papers. The Tribune has some
good reading, but it contains q lot
of nastiness.

ers in Philadelphia and heard them
boast how their petty sensations
sold their papers.

that very well. ] am one of the
little fry, and all ask Is to be let
alone.
"Your copyright laws have swim
died me out OF considerable money.
Isn't it enough TO steal my books
without intruding on my private
life7
"Isn't my objection TO American
interviewing based on pecuniary
rather than moral reasons 7

decent fellow. Don't you feel like
kicking yourself when you are CIV

The Press has the best possible organization
TO secure news from the most important sour
ces, and with nearly 400 correspondents in Penn
sylvania, New Jersey. and Delaware, the State
and near-at home news is covered with a rou-
tine carefnlness and attention todetail not even
attempted by any other paper.
The Press has also the best of correspondents
in all the great cities of the United States, as
well as financial and railroad experts in Chicago
and the West, who keep the paper more than
abreast with events.
The columns Oh athe SUNDAY PRESS are enrich.
ed by contributions from those whose names are
written high in our lists of great authors, novel
lists, essayists, as well as from men of high rank
in public life. The best authors know that
their best audiences are the readers of the
DAILY, SUNDAY and WEEKLY PRESS.
In politics THE Press knows no other master
than the people and the past year has seen, as
has been seen before, the marked fact that it is
subservient to no political boss. It has no poll
tical ambition to foster. but looks after the in.
terests Of its readers, and deliveries itself upon
the issues OF the day in a manner both frank and
fearless, letting the facts speak for themselves
and eyading no issues but meeting them all on
the basis of fair play to all men at all times. Its
pages know no distinctions and the rights of one
class over another are neither recognized nor
supported.

The Value Of commas.

A Prussian school inspector appeared
at the Office Of the burgomaster Of a lit
tie town to ask him to accompany him
on a tour of inspection through the
schools.
The burgomaster was out of sorts, and
was heard to mutter to himself. What
is this donkey here again for"
The inspector said nothing, but waited
his time, and with the unwilling burgo-
master set out on his tour. At the first
school he announced his wish to see how
well punctuation was Taught.
"Oh, mind that" said the burgo-
master. 1--WE don't care for commas
and such trifes."
But the inspector cent q boy to the
blackboard and ordered him to write,
''The B~urgor1aster of RI says, the in
spector is a donkey"
Then he ordered him to transpose the
comma, placing it after r., and to
insert another one after inspector, and
the boy wrote, "The burgomaster Of
RI, says the inspector, is a donkey"
1t is probable that the refractory Off
cial gained a new idea of the value Of
commas and such t%riies. london

How the Tomato was Named,

Few persons know the origin of this
common name. 1t originated in this
way: The earlier experimenters with the
fruit believed that it had a great effect on
the spleen-that is to say, it made per-
o liable to crossnesse good natured-
gave them, SO to speak, a lovely DISPOSE
ton, and for this reason the plant was
known to the ancient Spaniards as the
Love Apple. By the name of Love Apple
it is still known in manly English speak
ing countries. The word tomato Is de-
rived from the same source, that is to
say. from the original Latin word amo.

With the sweat upon his brow.

Long gone. not forgotten now.
All, he told Us fairy lore
While he pumped his bellows grim.
For we loved the mystic store
Pent up In the smithy dim.
But the sturdy smith Is dead,
And the smithy 5 In decay;
And the iyies climbanstead
Ger the bellows torn and gray. 4
