OUT OF SAUSAGE ON THE HOOP
BY THE CUB REPORTER

BY THE CUB REPORTER
The City Editor was sore. He
chewed viciously Oh the end of his
two-bit pipe and butchered every
story that he could get his hands on.
When this task was finished, and the
last of the copy had gone on the ma
chimes, he looked around for some
thing on which TO vent his wrath, and
at last his eyes fell on the Cub, who
was busy tapping out human inter
est story entitled Should We Have
a Place for Homeless Cats?" AS he
gaZed at the Cub, a malicious CLEAN
came into his eyes and it was some
time before he spoke.
Willie" he said at last. You have
been neglecting your work some
thing fierce during the past two
weeks, and if you don't take a big
brace and come out of the trance,
ar going to put you on the society
beat and retire the Sob Miss on
pension"
Jaw, what are You shouting about
nOw?" said the Cub, without look
iEg up.
Il am not shouting at ALL young
man." answered the City Editor. But
want you to understand that when
II send you out for a story | expect
II you to get it, and not to show up
here at this office until you do get
it. Understand"
Can that chatter now, and get
down to EARTH" said the Cub. IF
you will be so kind as to explain to
me just what line of chin-music you
are aiming at, perhaps | will be able
to filter"

some time ago told you to go down
to the dog quarantine and get me
story for the Saturday paper. and |
haven't seen it yet"
Gee, ! guess you're right" admit
ted the Cub. But on the square.
Chief, there amt any interest in nuts
anyhow. What's the use OF a story
like that"
It's not the story, Willie" explain
ed the City Editor. But the fact is
that this paper does not run enough
features. A story on the dog quar-
antinP would be a good starter, and.
as all the other fellows are busy.

for me. Now. I'll tell you what yOlr

one else whom you happen to run

there, if there are any, and make a
splendid mention OF it. Do YOU get

THAT'S a pretty hot story to have
to write but | guess | will have TO
do it. People won't read the story
though--they will think that it is an
advert. ement for a dog-bisCuit.
