MATT GOT THE "BEAT"
By W. L. RIORDON

I Until about year ago Matt Robbins
| Office boy in the city department of a New York
daily newspaper. To-day, he is valued member
of its city staff. This is the story OF how he won his
spurs as reporter.
One morning soon after one of the cable roads was
put in operation, Matt returning from police head
quarters cable-car, with batch of copy for the
first edition From choice he stood the back plat
FORM and as the car drew away from Houston
Street he began to read the story of the police head
quarters reporter. 1t was habit of Mats to read,
whenever possible all the copy that he handled before
reached the city editors desk Even in rush hours,
when copy carried the desk page by page, Matt
usually managed to keep up with the reporters pencil;
and he used to boast that he knew the local news
before the city editor. Of course all this showed that
Matt hoped to rise in the newspaper world Those who
knew the boy thought also proved that he had the all
important news instinct-"nose for news"
Matt reading the last page of the eheadquar-
tiers story when the conductor shouted Park Row =!
This Mats stopping7place; but when the did
not STOP he tried to get off, though both his hands
filled with copy Matt fell on his side with his left
under him. and, striking his head, was stunned
The car was stopped, crowd gathered and a police
sent in ambulance call
Before the ambulance arrived, however, Matt came
to his senses-and to his news-instnct at the same
moment. Though hardly able to stand he assured the
policeman, who watching him. that he was
all right now and made his way through the crowd
and tottered down Park Row to his Office still safely
holding the Observation-Disclosures story.
When the boy entered the city he seemed to be
about to faint; but without word he laid the copy
the city editors desk, sat down table near by,
and began to write. Another Office boy noticing Mats
condition, asked him what the matter.
Tell you later" he answered. I've got beat
Want to catch the first edition"
For several minutes he did lift his eyes from the
-. a ~
chair and rolled to the floor in a swoon.
Once more call sent to bring an ambulance for
Matt and this time he carried off to the Chambers
Street Hospital where it discovered that his head
was bruised and that his left broken.
One of the reporters, who had noticed that Matt was
writing gathered up the pages of what Matt had called
his beat and gave them to the city editor. Mats
story edited considerably printed in the first edition
and it the only exclusive the paper had that
day. Here is MATHS news item just as he wrote it:
The deadly cabe-car had its first victim to-day Al

My schoo-books dull have been packed away,
And I've nothing to do but play and play, ~
Just romp and frolic the livelong day,
In vacation time at Grandpa's.
I've more lessons to think about
No to be all worked OUT
I'll soon forget them without doubt,
When get up to Grandpas
We ride in the cars whole day through.
Don't get tired?" Well, yes do,
Tired and hot, but like it, too,
That long, long trip to Grandpa's.
There at the station is Uncle Fred.
With the carriage and horse, and the old dog Ned;
How he scanpers and barks and ahead,
When say, Gee up for Grandpas!"
We drive and drive till the suns most down,
Past the big white meeting house. through the town
And out by the school house old and brown,
That is only mile from Grandpas
I'd like to tell how we spend the day,
How ride the horses and rake the hay.
There's really no end to what could say
OF vacation-time at Grandpa's.
