Publicity,

Newspaper notoriety has a peculiar
charm for a large number Of people.
The mere fact Of seeing their names
printed-really printed in real news
paper-gives them a kind of satisfac-
ton that they cannot obtain in any
other way. The love of newspaper no
toriety seems to be born in people. 1t
is no acquired, for you fnd 1t in the
youngsters whose age would permit
them to have gotten no farther in the
vanities Of this world tina faculty for
swearing. A newspaper reporter un-
derdstands this vanity OF people better
than any one else, for he has to deal
with 1t continually. And it would be
a very dull man who would not be able
to turn 1t to his advantage very often.
The other day a fond parent who
labors upon q daily newspaper Of Pitts
burg went home to find his young hope
ful about to engage in fist fight with
a youngster Of the neighborhood. He
did not stop to question the right or
hte wrong Of the quarrel. for. his per-
ception being naturally quick. he saw
that his sons opponent. had by far the
advantage of his adversary In size and
muscle. In fact, he saw that his son
was In fair way to be made to do the
duty of street sweeper. OF course
It was his duty to stop such a disgrace
'ul proceeding as street fight especial
lv under the circumstances mentioned.
But his interfering with the would-be
fighters in no way appeased the wrath
,r the thirst for gore of the large bow.
For, as he moved away, the big fellow
turned and said:
Never mind. Bill. I'll lick yer vet
into jelly when yer pops not around"
This made the parent little anxious.
as he knew that an onslaught meant
a sure victory for the other side. and
as he could not be around always to
protect his son he took advantage of
the knowledge of human nature which
his profession had given him.
A crowd Of young boys had gathered
around to see what they thought was
going to be a fight, and as one of the
antagonists. after being interfered with.
walked away, their faces assumed
looks of disappointment. but the father
soon frightened them up.
"Say, boys" said he, "do you want
your names to be printed In the pa
per?"
Immediately chorus of 'rYou bet I
dos" greeted him.
WELL" continued the father, eff you
boys will band together and see that
that big fellow doesn't lick Billy will
put every one Of your names In the pa
per tomorrow morning."
