 eve fellows" said a reporter sitting with a number of his companions about stove at midnight, have 1t in our power to do lots of good or lots of harm"
 "what d'you meanT asked one of the party.
 "Oh, there are millions of ways. What have in my mind just now is suddenly trusting some one Into prominence. When l was looking after the social lions made deal with an impoverished swell to give me spicy bits about them. He had the en- tree. and l hadn't. Well, one day he told me that Lord Martingale, fresh importation from London, had said that a certain Mrs. Rlngletter he had seen in Central park beat anything for beauty they had in England. Here's a go,' I said to my lnformer. I know Mrs. Ringletter. I'll just run that item in the social tidbits next Sunday, and she'll be tickled to death.'
 Sure enough, the next Sunday morning l cooked up a beautiful an- nouncement of the fact that we had prettier woman In New York than they had in London and no less a critic than Lord Martingale had said so. A few days later met Guy Ring letter, and he told me his wife had suddenly stumbled on to the item and 1t had pleased her immensely.
 That's all thought about the mat ter. You know we fellows can't keep our minds on one subject very long. One evening dropped into the Metro politan Opera House to jOt down who was there, when l heard two swells talking beside me One of them spoke with decidedly English accent.
 "'Can you tell me who that woman is in the first box from the stage in the second tier? he was saying.
 "That's young Mrs. Mickelton, re- gently married. Why do you askr
 "'Because she Is the most beautiful woman l ever saw. We've nothing like her in London
 "'You don't mean it.
 Well, I skinned around and found out who the fellows were and learned that one of them was Lord Martingale. Now, you may suppose that I remem- bered what he'd said about my friend, Mrs. Ringlett"r, but had clean forgot ten 1t. Back I went to the office and wrote out that Lord Martingale had remarked at the opera that young Mrs. NIickelton was the most beautiful wom- an in New York and there was nothing like her in London.
 About a week after that was stroll ing along upper Broadway. l had just lighted cigar and was feeling very comfortable. Truth is I had $l0 in my pocket. something that hadn't occurred before since I entered journalism, and I was wishing some one would come along that l cOuld blow off.' l felt a touch on my arm and, turning, saw seedy individual looking out of a pair of the most melancholy eyes l ever saw. l was about to give him nickel when I stood stock still with astonish ment
