THE REPORTERS STORY.

c1oW Ed1tOr McCullagh Used His Lengthy
Write Up of q Murder. goo
When applied to Joseph B. McCul-
1agh for position as reporter on The
Globe-Democrat, in 1885, I had been
posted about his detestation Of dudes
and wore an old suit-clean, but almost
threadbare. I had letters of recon-
mendation from Colonel Burke OF The
Times-Democrat and from Colonel Do
remus Of the Dallas News, which I held
in my hand, ready for his inspection
made my speech, rather disconnected
by the cool, calculating manner in
which he inspected me while doing so,
and then handed him my Credentials -
He glanced at the signatures, without
reading the contents of either of the let
tiers, picked up slip Of instructions and
told me to report the murder Of Joe
Robedeaux, a Frenchman who had
been murdered few minutes before in
the French quarter, and then carefully
placed my beloved 'papers'' in his
pocket, without word of explanation.
Three hours later I handed him
very carefully written report of the
AuAoOA, giving al VI Gu0 u0Jd1lS,
which would have filed two columns,
preceded by my own scare heads'' in
six sections, giving all Of the principal
facts in short sentences. Next morning
l found that my report had been
killed. at the ''enacting clause for
the report appeared in an article about
two inches long under small head,
"Foully Murdered, with all the rest
of my ''scare heads'' printed, word for
word, exactly as had written them, as
the body Of the item. Not word of the
report appeared.
It was beautiful Christmas morn
ing, but will never forget my feelings
as read that little item. I felt utterly
crushed, and if had had my letters
Hr. McCullagh would never have seen
me again. wandered around the hotel
corridors until time to report, when I
presented myself before Little Mack''
and asked for the return of the letters.
To my unspeakable surprise and intense
delight he gave me an immediate as
signment for special work, handed me
huge bundle wrapped in wrapping pa
per, and while holding this package,
the contents of which were unknown to
me, he proceeded to give me instruc-
tions and detail all Of my failings in
blunt but very lucid sentences, wind
ing up like the crack of whip with,
"Put those clothes Oh and report for
duty in one hour My head was actu-
ally swimming when left the room.
The package contained a complete
outfit, including shoes, shirt, under
wear, collar, tie and one of the best
fitting suits I ever wore, the total cost
Of which could not have been much less
than $50.
I never saw my letters again, but
when I left, two years later, he wrote
me the best recommendation 7 ever re-
ceived and was always ready to say
good word by wire if it was requested.

The Ant Pest.

Soon the summer pest, ants, will be-
gin to worry the tidy housekeeper. Here
is what is alleged to be sure remedy.
It is inexpensive and comparatively
harmless, at all events: Dissolve part
of corrosive sublimate in 100 parts wa
ter, which will be q very strong dose
Remove everything from the shelves
where the ants are, or the carpet from
the floor where they appear to come up,
and pour boiling water all around to
kill them and clean the wood. Then
pour the corrosive snblimate over the
shelves till it reaches all the cracks and
crevices and let it dry in. Then fill your
powder bellows with red pepper and
carefully blow the cracks and crevices
full Of that. Cover the shelves with pa
per or put your carpet back in place,
and yon will scarcely be troubled again.
