THERE WASN'T ANY STORY.
Reporter Thought His Work Over
 When Modieska Was Attacked.

A newspaper story that is going tho rounds of one of the larger western cities concerns a young and very green reporter who had just been taken on the staff of the towns leading daily It happened that several theatrical openings occurred on the same night. and the staff of the papers dramatic department was able to cover" only three out of the four events. Space was reserved for a story on Madame Modjeska who was to open that night in a new play. and the young reporter was assigned to the story.
 About o'clock he strolled into the office. The city editor greeted hiIo with astonishment.
 Why, how's this?" he exclaimed Didn't you get any story?"
