He Got His Story

A cub reporter at Des Moines re-
Gently got into the room of Poluhni,
the clever magician wha is to appear
on the Boomers Ferry Lyceum Course
at the K. p. hall, October s. He
wanted a story for his paper and
also wanted to have Poluhni give a
free show for him. But the magician
told him there was nothing doing in
the free show line, that he had been
engaged by the lyceum committee
to give his only program at the au-
ditorium. The newspaper bud Sc
cured his interview but still fingered
and fingered. His visit was getting
to be tiresome. Finally Poluhni
asked to see the notes he had made
and as he looked them over he said
he couldn't allow such stuff to be
printed. The magician struck a
match, fired the notes and threw
them into the CRATE. The reporter
backed out of the room abashed.
"Stop" shouted Poluhni "And are
you also going to steal ?" He opened
the reporters coat and pulled out a
hotel inkwell and a supply of sta
tionery. The reporter rushed out of
the hotel and toward the office to
report his failure. But feeling in
his pockets. as he went down the
street he found the notes Poluhni
had apparently burned. He had his
story and he had secured the free
show after all
