Little Stories of Journalism


tragedian., "The people I represent have shiped many tons of the deadly material into Cuba. Not only has it gone to the 'iberating army in the field, but much has been sent direct to Havana. hidden in cases of fruit cans, boxed as gro- ceries."
 That. is interesting" I admitted
 We have pressed the dynamite into cylinders, for the cans. or into blocks, like this" continued the mysterious vis- itor, unwrapping the package he guarded so closely.
 A cube of inky blackness was disclosed. at which the speaker gazed In awe.
 'Is that dynamite?' asked, breaking the silence.
 Yes; the most deadly agent employed in modern warfare. It is harmless if carried without jar, but were I to drop it upon the floor, detonation would occur and this room and contents would utterly disappear. This building would be rended apart" Saying which. the strange man, obviously inured to danger, took up the black cube and offered 1t to me for in- spection.
 In my hands the block had a greasy crumbly feeling. I examined the solid flied agent of death with caution.
 Tt resembles a compressed block of coal dust" I commented, intending to state a fact.
 ''Naturally,'' was the reply. Coal dust and charcoal are employed to give consistency to the dynamite-to render 1t capable of reasonably safe handling and shipping. The particles of carbon create the flame for the deadly explosive and add thousand fold to it's

The comedy of journalism is "eon- tinuous performance.
 T wish you't see this man in the re- ception room and get his story" said the managing editor handing me a card upon which was the name "Capitano Cantaro'' "He wants s1OO, and it ap- pears to be worth the money-if com pletely verified. But you must decide whether he is telling the truth"
 A typical stage william was awaiting me in the ante room. He rose as entered placing a hand with noticeable caution, upon a brown paper package that lay before him on the table.
 ''Td prefer to talk to you in private, said he, glancing round the small apart ment, although we were alone.
 .That is easy" I replied. and we walk ed into the council room, where we would not be interrupted.
 This is better" commented my visitor as we faced each other across the council table. You comprehend, 1 hope, that my recent life has involved great per- sonal hazard. and I have no wish tc dis close my identity"
 That is understood" was my reply, as I glanced at the card in my fingers.
 of course, that's not my name" the stranger admitted, smiling. ef

 My dear Ellen: In deepest sorrow, I say farewell. I have no reproaches to make, and accept your decision as final l have been devotedly fond of you, and thought my love returned" and so on, in similar strain to the length of a page He then made neat, clean copy, which he mailed; but, in fit of abstraction, quite unusual, the editor tore up a sheet of his article instead of the original let ter, and placed the latter in the midst of his editorial.
 Laying his completed work on the night desk, the leader-writer went to dinner
 The night editor Is accustomed to mis- takes When he discovered that page l was missing from the Bulgarian editorial he fixed the broken sentences, in order to make the copy read on." Then he came upon the letter that had gone astray. In the editorial article was a brief ex- tract from L'Independance Beige, the leader-writer's favorlte authority on cur rent Continental opinion. The night editor was a practical joker ! of the most pronounced character. He had the farewell Ellen letter" put in | type, and substituted 1t for the paragraph from the Brussels newspaper, in the sin gle proof-sheet sent to the editorial writer's desk.
 Every man on the floor was put wise," and all awaited the leader writer's return.
 The courtly gentlemean arrived in his most dignified mien. Seating himself. he adjusted his glasses took up the proofs and began the revision of his Header"
 The members of the entire staff were furtively watching their victim, when he Suddenly sprang into the air and screamed:
 How in the fend's name did this oc- cur, Hutchins? Am I going mad? A let- ter I mailed this afternoon Is printed in my Bulgarian leader"
 All the editors displayed marked solic- itude. They gathered round their col- league and asked to see the peculiar 'mix-up;" but the editorial writer posi- lively refused to exhibit his proof-slip
 Mir. Hutchins called a boy.
 Co to the composing room,' said he "and bring me a proof of the Bulgarian 1eadert'
 Everybody awaited the boys return. the leader writer in a nervous condition bordering on collapse.
 When the proof-slip arrived. the ex- tract from the Belgian journal was in it's
 
 letter was not in evidence. Not one of the editors who examined the proof could discover anything wrong about the arti- cle. Each man pronounced 1t "admira- ble." The galley proof" was carried to the editorial writer's desk. He gazed in blank amazement from the fresh slip to the original one-which he stoutly refused to surrender for comparison.
 His companions affected surprise and incredibly Not a smile appeared on any of their faces.
 Rising to his feet the gallant old beau said with all the dignity of Virglnian: "GentIemen. I regret that an explana- ton is impossible because the name of a lady is involved"
 Not a man in the party but felt sorry that the joke had been perpetrated.
 The old leader-writer put on his black frock coat and started for the door, self communing:

destructive qualities. It might be possi- ble for a half pound of dynamite--the quantity absorbed into this tube-to de- tomato without setting fire to a house. but the carbon furnishes a flame that will ignite all woodwork near at hand, torn to splnters as 1t will be. We ex- perimented for months perore deciding on the most portable shape in which this life destroying agent could be handled. We rejected all other treatment for this one.
 This form lends itself to many kinds of death. Think how easily hero of our cause can mix one of these blocks with the coal as 1t goes into the bunkers of a Spanish man-of-war"
 Surely you wouldn't do that?" I ex- claimed.
 Why not?" was the retort In affected astonishment. You remember what General Sherman said about warp
 "Yes"
 He knew what he was talking about it is hellish'
 ''Where do you make this?'
 Near Philadelphia, in the middle of a ffty-acre lot"
 "To avoid accidents-or Spanish spies?'
 Accidents are frequent" was his com ment. "Only last week, our mixing room exploded and a score of workmen were destroyed" Noticing a look of incredulity in my face. for I am a close reader of newspapers and had not seen anything of the kind mentioned he hastened to add. '"They were all Cubans and died in the cause of liberty" Then he sighed, pa- triotically, as he wiped tear from one of his eyes.
 How do you ship the dynamite?'
 Tn our own steamers, ostensibly en- gagged in the fruit trade. The goods are landed on the Cuban coast in small boats. No spanish cruiser can catch us. Of course, great danger is involved in get ting the boxes ashore. They are small so that man can carry one of them on his shoulder through the surf. A
