A newspaper writer gets so many
kicks and cuffs. is so generally mis-
judged and misunderstood. gives
effense SO often when he tries to
please, and is SO condemned and
despised that he appreciates kind
word as much as if he were a home
less yellow cur. When a reporter
makes a mistake everybody he meets
seems to tell him about it: he is
called up over the telephone and
abused roundIy and half his former
friends refuse to speak to him. But,
now and then, when he writes some
thing which pleases, he gets a COM
pliment or a Thank-you by letter or
telephone from some thoughtful
friend, and nobody (but another
newspaper writer) knows how COM
forting it is.
