Getting the News
BY FRED c. KELLY.

Angus McSween is the big insurgent
OF the writing forces in Washington.
As correspondent for the Philadelphia
North American, McSween nearly eV o
cry day in the week dashes off a first
page story or two. in which he fills
the standpatters as full of javelins as
Arnold Winklereid. one would
imagine from reading a McSween ar
ticle that ne goes around the capitol
wearing syyashbuckler clothes and
looking always with grim visage for
some reaCtionady he can pounce upon
and slay.
The fact is that McSween is one of
the most mild-mannered as well as
one of the most kindly disposed of
men. When he first broke into the
newspaper business years ago, he was
fortunate enough 10 get hold of an
exclusive inside story about a sensa-
tiOnal murder, and he was properly
elated. The story would be a beat"
for his paper. and he would be a
great pet around the office for a few
days. As press time approached and
il became certain that no other paper
would have the story. McSween's en-
thusiasm over his little feat grew and
grew. Then. at the last minute, he
happened 10 think that one OF his
competitors was man rather we'll
along in years. Ii occurred TO Nc
Sween that an exclusive story might
do him les good than il would do his
the other fellow and told him the yarn
in the nick OF time for him TO get
most of il in his paper. That's the
kind OF a chap McSween is. But one
day
We're getting now 10 the tale we
started 10 tell in the first place. When
fnE wa L n Of 10
Washington papers, some years ago.
s-ere occurred in a little Virginia
town some scandalous dOings iuvoiv-
ing a preacher and a number of So
ciety women. The town was close
enough 10 Washington to make il of
interest there. and McSween was sent
there to the scene to get the facts
on the train he fell in with a men,
Der OF the congregation. who may be
known as Jones. This man Jones
told McSween all about the affair from
the point Of view opposed 10 the
preacher. When he got 10 the town.
McSween then saw the preacher and
got his side. IN that way. after elm
mating contradictory statements. he
felt that he was in position 10 tell
the whole truth without favor or
prejudice.
Certain statements in the story.
however-some OF the things Nc
Sween had learned from the man on
the train-were extremely displeasing
10 most OF the women OF the congre-
CATION. They did not say the state
ments We're untrue, but were greatly
incensed that McSween saw Mt 10
publish them.
In the course OF a week Mc.Sween
again went 10 the little town 10 attend
a church trial and get later develop
ments IN the case. ard it was then that

AS TOLD BY AUNT GERTIE.
CHAPTER III,

CITY Of Chicago. The residents are
fighting with each other, They must
nave gone on strike, l wish We could
do something 10 make peace. They
VIII certainly kill each other If we
don't act quickly"
"Ho, Ho, Ho, Ha, Ha, Ha," laughed
the old man long and loudly.
You are certainly easily fooled.
You are entirely wrong. Why, you
are so wrong I don't see how you
can ever get right again.
Now listen TO me and I will eX-
plain this very simple matter TO you.

There is one statement here" she
went on, that reflects on nearly eY-
cry woman in our church. Now, we
don't think you made it up, but we
want 10 know who your informant
was. Unless you tell us where you
got your information, yOu'll-well.
you'll have TO take the consequences"
At which stage OF her remarks she
went through business of producing
a little whip that she had concealed
about her clothes. And the other
women began TO pull out hatpins and
make ready for the conflict.
1t was a trying moment for Nc
SWeen, locked in a room and entirely
surrounded by women. There he was,
one lone man, except for Smith, who
was with the opposition. He turned
a hurt look at Smith, who had en-
trapped him. Smith grinned defiant
ly and McSween vowed that he would
get even with the man some day or
else die unhappy.
The women were impatient and
drew closer as McSween tried 10
argue them into agreeing that it
would not be right for him to disclose
a confidential source of information.
They really looked mighty threaten
ing with their whips and hatpins.
You may think II funny for man to
be scared of a bunch of women, but
..
ton briefly and see if you would not
grow nervous.
1--WE don't intend to talk any more
about it," said the spokeswoman-th
one with the cute little whip; you'll
tell us where you got your informa-
ton or take the consequences.
I'll never tel" declared the brave
McSween.
AS she spoke McSween heard
train coming in. 1t was the last train
back to washington that night, and as
there were no hotels or boarding
houses in the little town, he was
keenly anxious to make that train.
Life in the town over night, he felt,
might prove irksOme. McSween look
ed at the women, then at Smith, and
at the locked door. If he tried to
rush for the door the whole crowd
would be on him. Nearer came the
train outside and he heard it slow up
fcI the station. Verify, there was
need of haste. Yet the train had been
in the station full minute before
McSween thought of something.
Ladies" said he, speaking rapidly
81 am going TO surrender. l am 60
ing to tell you who my informant
was. l." $3.50
who was it?" chorused the women
excitedly.
why, ii was this fellow Smith"
shouted McSween, pointing at the
dumb-founded Smith, who of course,
wasn't his informant at all.
Then the women surrounded Smith,
hurting poisoned obloquy and vituper-
ation-and he too startled to talk back
in his own defense.
"Youl" they screamed.
They were so busy with Smith that
they never noticed McSween unlocking
the door and leaping aboard the train
Just a minute before il pulled out.
McSween never heard how Smith
finally made out with the women folk.
For all he knows the poor wretch is
iabbering explanations in a padded
cell even to this day.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE case of
Erie Mikenen surely does prove that
love-making has a language all its
own.
Eric was arrested on complaint of
two nursemaids with whom he had be
come acquainted in Central Park. He
had become sufficiently we'll acquain-
ted with each to acquire from her
ring as a token of affection. The rings
il was asserted, he subsequently re-
fused TO return.
When Eric was arraigned in gener-
al sessions, nobody could understand
his talk. The girls didn't profess to.
No court interpreter could. He was
sent - Bellevue hospital for observa-
ton. ttrhe doctors reported that he
was undoubtedly sane. but they could
not make out a word he said.
One interpreter finally said Mike
mems speech reminded him of Fin
nish. The east side was raked for
man who knew Finnish dialects, and
the editor of a Finnish paper was
brought into court. He could under
stand Nikeaen and said the latter
spoke a dialect peculiar TO a small is
land i'm the North Sea, off the Finnish
coast.
Mikenen told the editor he thought
the girls gave him the rings. The
editor is now hunting for a Finn
lawyer for Mikenen who can talk his
peculiar dialect.
