How a Newspaper Reporter Worked
q BEAT" on "a Less Inven-
tive Rival.

One of the most cheering sights of
the day was displayed to passers-by
in Park Row a little after noon, says
a New York exchange. A very SOL
emn, fat reporter came down out of a
newspaper office with a camera and
a thermometer. He wandered about
the open space disconsolately and
drippingly looking for the hottest spot
After awhile he found a handy place
ear the Franklin monument which
seemed to be the focus of more sun

man, from a rival newspaper, appeared
in a secluded spot in William street,
near the bridge arches, and likewise
produced a thermometer. He, however,
produced a match which he lighted
and held under the bulb of the ther-
mometer while another reporter with
a camera took a picture. Thus are
"beats" scored by the truly great.

sounds a be made with it, and these
sounds appear to have different mean

"Once this man saw seven hogs at
tack a rattlesnake. The reptile began
to fight pluckily, and while he fought
he ratified loud and long. Three other
snakes came with great speed and
courage to his aid. A dreadful battle
followed. The snakes, though they
fought well, were all killed.
"The rattle is also said to charm or
hypnotic birds so that the snake can
seize them easily, but in this story my
friend doesn't take much stock. It's
