Noted MeWspaperman Tells Good
Story On Himself
DID BETTER Than The PREACHER
SENT TO WRITE UP SERMON NE
DOES so WITHOUT HEARING
THE SAME.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S-John r
Finerty, who served one term in con-
gress-the 48th-and who is known
all over the west as one of the bright
est newspaper writer's of his day. now
the head of the Irish American league
| was in Washington few days ago
and visited the house. He did not find
many men there whom he had known
when a member of the house. Finerty
began his newspaper career when a
lad of 16 years, and served through
many of the Indian wars of the early
7Os as a correspondent of the Chicago
| Times, under Wilbur F. Story. While
chatting with some of his friends in
| the cloakrOom of the house, Mr.. Fin
erty told a story of how he was dis
charged by Mr.. Story during the early
days of his career on that paper and
| then reengaged, thing previously I'M
! heard of under Mr.. Story.
Finerty had been assigned to report
a Sunday sermon but forgot all about
| it until II o'clock at night The SER
! mon was delivered on the lower side
! of Chicago and the minister was we'll
known Catholic priest who had turned
protestant. Remembering only that the
| man was a Catholic, Finerty, nothing
daunted, wrote column report of the
alleged sermon, and being good Cath
olic himself, worked into this ser
| mon" several severe raps at the Pro-
testant faith. When he read the other
papers the next morning Finerty saw
| the awful mistake he had made. but
reported for duty as usual. Soon he
was summoned into the presence of
Mr.. Story, where he found a clerical
looking gentleman in conversation with
| the 'old man." as all editors in chief
are called.
OF course Finerty admitted having
written the sermon and Mr.. Story,
firm and dignified, but apparently in
dignant at the temerity of any man
who would thus impose upon the
Times, promptly discharged him. The
minister began to plead the young
man - SeiuSS, Soiu Ic ulu hot " oLt INN
discharged; that he probably meant no
harm, and that it was better sermon
than he could have preached anyhow,
save that it misrepresented him in the
matter of the faith he professed.
But Finerty had to go, and the min
lister followed. While Finerty was
packing up his personal effects the Of
flee boy told him the "Old man" wanted
to see him again. "Mr. Finerty,' thun-
dered Story, Il discharged you a while
ago. A man who did what you did
ought to be discharged. Report to the
city editor; he has been instructed to
hire you again. but don't let that sort
of thing happen again." Finerty in
telling the story said he thought he
heard a quiet little chuckle as he
emerged from the sanctum, indicating
that gruff and stern as he was Mr..
Story had a sense of the ridiculous
anyhow Finerty remained there for
years and won his spurs. He came to
Washington as a special editorial cor
respondent in the 46th congress. and
liked it SO well that he went back to
Chicago and was elected to serve one
term himself.
