When Gibson came to the Office as a
messenger boy the city editor saw in
him repertorial material. After two
years he was put on the streets took
to the business ike a duck to water,
felt assured that he would return with
the story.
Gibson was on mis- vacation one sum
uler when a wreck occurred near the
resort where he was spending a week
He hurried there, got mis- story, and
filed 1000 words.
Never send another story by wire
until you have asked how much we
want on it, was the reply Gibson re
ceived, and he took an oath that he
would never wire smother story until
told how much was wanted.
One day when Gibson came to the
office he found a new city editor. Glib
son got no assignment. When he was
told he might go home for the night he
congratulated himself on getting an
extra day off. The next day the city
editor sent him to the suburbs to inter-
view a man on some trif1ing matter.
Gibson felt that the assignment was q
slight, put, like a good soldier, he
obeyed orders
At midnight he called his office by
telephone. The man he was sent to see
was not at home. He could get no one
! to the door despite the fact that he had
ruEG the bell dozen times. The city
editor was skeptical He did not be

They told story after story and in the

While they were talking the vessel

his instructions of years before.
