Reporter sent In the Wrong Card.
An official Of the supreme court was
puzzled by a card sent in to him by a
desperate newspaper man Monday,
April so, when the arguments on the
Kentucky government case began. The
court room was full Of sightseers, and
the overflow extended in a long line
down the corridor. The reporter tried
to get in ahead of the line, and was
stopped. He protested.
"Shall these rubbernecks be let in to
moLopoliZe the supreme court room
when IL, a newspaper man, ordered
to report the case, am kept out?' he
exclaimed.
''Them's ORDERS" said the ancient
colored man at the door.
Off rushed the reporter to the court
marshal's office. He yanked out his
wallet, and, seeing a card in 1t, wrote
on the back:
my editor orders me to report the
Kentucky case to-day. Must be adj
mitted: can't wait for the crowd"
In a moment the answer came back,
and his card with it: "No room"
The reporter looked at the card he
had sent in and blushed. He had by
mistake, given the attendant not his
own, but the card of a manager of a
troupe of ballet and variety performs
