IA Bold Renorter

Reporters sometimes report speeches
they do not hear and bad work they
make of it. An enthusiastic Irishman
was once hoaxed by a Wag to reporting
a speech in parliament by Edmund
Burke on the merits Of the potato as an
article of diet. The wag reported the
speech apparently from his notes, and
the reporter, never doubling his good
faith, handed in a report. The next
morning ali London was laughing over
the speech, which made Mr.. Burke at
tribute the superior Yirtue of the Irish
people to the fact that they eat SO
many potatoes.
Another reporter Jared better who
made up speech from his own imagi-
nation. It was q bold act for the
speech was from the throne, George III
being the monarch. The ministers were
Indignant at his impudenee and were
eager to punish him with the severest
penalties of the law. But the good ma
|tIred monarch interposed with d quiet
joke at the expense Of the minister
who had prepared the speech read by
the king sI hope the nan's punish
|ment will be Of the mildest sort, said
King George, because 4 have read
both, and, so far as II can understand
either Of them, 4 like the reporters
speech better than my own. Il
