''Perfectly Lovely Murder"

Stanley Waterloo. the author Of that
remarkable book, Abe and much
other mighty readable literature, was,
many years ago, the founder of the st.
Lou Chronicle. syS the Brooklyn
Eagle. One day a young woman, who
lac been recently employed as a society
reporter, came bursting into the city
editors office, saying:
oh. l just saw u perfectly lovely
murder"
Waterloo happened to Overhear the
remark, and had discrimination enough
to appreciate that it was the girls
enthusiasm as a reporter, rather than a
al OF human sympathy, that caused
her to seem to rejoice over the brutal
crime she had witnessed. He watched
her course carefully for a while and
hen promoted her to the city editor
ship. Without a few months after that
she became the managing editor of
the paper, perhaps the first Oma in
the country TO hold such a position on
a daily newspaper in which she had no
ownership.

Not to be Taken Seriously.

that such solid parts and services as

Also it looks upon it as a sign that the
democracy IS pulling itself together
and casting about for a real leader

Post adds:
1t IS not strange that there should b
mention Of the name which was so long
a tower Of strength and a symbol OF
victory. But as for the actual nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Cleveland for the presi-
dency next year. that is a matter. we
