This 10 The Life

Joe Toye. in Boston Post)
A young man and a young woman
from Massachusetts were married re-
Gently In q New Hampshire town.
The Groom left dollar bill in the
town clerks office which he said was
to be divided among the newspaper
reporters In order that they might
keep his name and that of his bride
from appearing in the newspapers
News dispatch in Boston paper
IT only goes TO show what a great
lie reporters lead, and what advan-
taSes they enjoy over the man who
has regular job 1t shows that
those people We're right who said
they made the mistake of their lives
by not becoming Journalists"
Reporters get lots of nice things
They get theatre tickets and circus
passes and invitations 10 exclusive
soirees, whatever they are.
All a reporter has 10 do if he has
an evening Off he has--and wants
some entertainment is to go up to
any theatre, nod CURLY to the door
man and say, Good evening. James
the show" And if James doesn't
drop dead. he calls several large and
enthusiastic policemen who furnish
the reporter sufficient entertainment
for several evenings off.
There was reporter once who
knew man on another paper who
succeeded a man who got one ticket
to food fair one rainy Saturday
morning. But he couldn't use it be-
cause he had II assignments to cover
before his evenings work began
And, Of course, every reporter has
an opportunity TO marry the pub
lisher's daughter and become manag-
ing editor or crochet editor or some
thing like that
The only trouble with being a re-
porter is that newspapermen often
fight with their wives because the
wives object to erasing notes from
their husbands cuffs every Monday
morning. There is a reporter whose
VIE does nothing else all Monday
morning but cit down, surrounded on
che side by the washtub, on another
by q plate Of penouchi and on the
other by a gray-plush cat and the
laundry bag and read all the scandal
Of the past week from her husband
cuffs. When the husband gets into
his limousine as he leaves for the
Office. the wife says:
"Goodby. Horace" Gle was named
for Horace Greeley rs there any
interesting news in the laundry bag
this week."
And the reporter will say:
Eyes, my dear. If you will look
down near the bottom of the bag YOU
will find d particularly spicy scandal
on the left cuff of that maroon shirt
wore Monday"
He will then tap the chauffeur with
his curved END cane and say:
ITO the Office, Cuthbert. But first
top at my bankers"
tNote--At this point real reporter
who had been reading the foregoing
over the authors shoulder picked up
a haIf-page stereotype metal and

NARMY OF
PHOTOGRAPHERS

Washington, D. C., Jan. 19, 19t8.- There is today in the City of Washing ton in active operation, an army whose exploits attract little notice, but whose members are doing a very large "bit" toward winning the war for America an army of stenographers and typists, twelve thousand strong, recruited from every State in the Union. A majority of these soldiers of the notebook and typewriter are girls. Day in and day out their nimble fingures faithfully click out tremendous volume of correspondence and records required by a nation at war. They wear no badge nor uniform; their work is all work, and has no thrill nor romance; but the United States could not stay in the war month without them.
 The rapidly expanding departments of the Government in Washington employ stenographers and typists with a greed that seems unsuitable. The United States Civil Service Commis
 sion estimates that there will be twenty thousand Government em
 ployees of this class in Washington at the end of this year. Owing to the general demand the Commission is finding it difficult task to meet the calls, of the departments. Examina
 tions are held every Tuesday in 450 cities, and the Commission states that an examination will be held in any city at any time, day or night, when there is prospect of assembling class of three of four competitors. Eligibility may be obtained through passing an examination in practical tests in short hand and typewritine. It is practica

PATRIOTIC MEETING
 HELD THIS MORNING

At II o'clock this morning, there was held at the Courthouse in this city, Patriotic meeting, in the in terest of the Salvation Army, Red Cross and other organizations of the war work.
 Addresses were delivered by Rev. Marion s. Monk, and Rev. J. T. Howell to fairly sized, but very appreciative audience. The services were opened with a song, America, :, after which the addresses were delivered. At the conclusion, two stanzas. one composed by Mrs. Luther Adair, of this city, and one composed by Rev. J. T. Howell pastor of the First Baptist church, were sung to the tune of America.
 The verses are as follows: God bless our precious boys,
 They are chiefest joys, God bless our boys.
 Keep them from every harm, And evils that alarm,
 Protect them with thy strong arm, God bless our boys. God save our splendid men,
 Send them safe at home again, God save our men.
 Keep them victorious, Patient and chivalrous,
 They are so dear to us, God save our boys.
