REPORTERS IN FILMS AND
IN EVERYDAY EXISTENCE

According to a story from Chicago,
a reporter paid for a taxicab ride with
six potatoes. using a market basket
as a purse. We'd like to believe the
tale, but we've been a reporter so long
that we're from Missouri, says the
New York American.
We never saw a reporter yet who
was wealthy enough to W six po-
tatoes all at one time. and we never
saw one who needed a market basket
to carry his wad. If there were no
germs except in money, a reporter
would run as little danger from in
lection as an angel would.
Furthermore, reporters don't ride
in taxicabs unless they're movie re-
porters. There's as much difference
between a movie reporter and a regu-
lar reporter as there is between a
handcar and the Twentieth Century
Limited.
If somebody handed a regular re.
porter a movie reporters pay enve-
lope by mistake, he'd start right in
framing up an alibi to prove he
wasn't there when the bank was
robbed.
A movie reporter has nothing to do
but rescue the heroine and complain
to his friends about how she and the
director between them are always
trying to crab his act. The only he
roine a regular reporter ever rescucs
is his landlady-he rescues her from
the disgrace of dying rich by neglect
ing to pay his rent.
The reporter generally writes a lot
about money, even though he sees
mighty little of it. For example: AL
most every day he has to write a
story about Jesse Baconmore, Boy
Plunger, Wins 100000 0 in Wall
Street" and the only money he himself
ever wins is sixty cents in chips play
ing poker with the gang in the back
room, and more likely than not the
banker will say he can't cash 'em till
Saturday; and on Saturday he forgets
'em.
Money may talk, but it never gets
hoarse talking to a reporter. They
don't meet often enough.

Miss Carteret didn't answer.
And presently Mrs. Beggarstaff re-
turned the brooch to the top of the
highboy and went her way, n fine,
thoughtful wrinkle marring the habit
ual serenity of her forehead.
