What Sew York Reporter Found Out on
His Strange Assignment.
It was Sunday evening, about 8 by the
clock. and the usual calm Of that one
night in the week brooded over The Press
Office. A stranger entered. Hesitatingly
he thrust forth a little pack Of grimy
cards written on with ink and rapidly
said: Gentlemen, I'm writer Of jokes.

sentence with n half groan.
Then the visitor continued: "Seven
years ago l was employed as railway

But since the new year began l haven't

we've been pretty nigh starvation, and
the landlady wanted to put us out for
not paying our rent only yesterday. Oh,
Lord, this is what I've come to! Yes,
YES; I saw that you gentlemen looked at
my shirt. 1 know my degradation, and
YOU needn't be afraid Of hurting my feel

hurt
The reporter sent him to the night city
editor. That gentlemen dived into his
pocket and produced a shining half dol
lar. The entire staff contributed, and a
small amount Of money was realized.
The reporter who had first talked to the
stranger was assigned to go up to the lit
tie mans home and DO what was best
with the money. AS if dazed, the man
in the flannel shirt followed him.
A short walk brought them to his
home. Strewn over the sidewalk lay the
scant household goods Of the family of
two. The reporter interviewed the land
lady, while the little man sat down in
one Of his own chairs outside with a
blank look on his face.

meanwhile saying. "Why, they're the
most worthless lot around. They haven't
paid for a month, and tonight l just put
their things out in the street. The wifei
Oh, she was taken sick or something, and
they carried her to the hospital in an
ambulance"
To the hospital the reporter rushed,
leaving the husband still sitting in a
chair on the walk. The house surgeon
came to the door. "This case from 30

minutes ago. Characterization and

the bereaved husband and returned to

A pretty story is going the rounds
about Rosa Bonheur. Some time ago a
Russian grand duke was visiting Paris
and CHANGED to dine in her company.
They got on very well, and at dessert
they ate philopena together-that is to
say, they shared double almond. But
the duke, when next day they met, for
got to say 'philopena" and lost the bet.
He asked the artist what present he
should give her, and she added laugh
ingly, "Any animal that would do to
paint-something pretty, you know"
The duke smiled and departed.
Nothing more was heard Of him, and
the lady had quite forgotten the affair
