FAMOUS FABLES
ACROSS
BY E. E. EDGAR

EXCUSE: Charles Chaplin, city
editor of the old New York
World, was an impulsive genius
who was as cratic as he was
brilliant. Often, in a fit of tenn
per. he would fire a reporter,
only to rehire the man a few
minutes later.
One day, when one Of his re-
porters failed to return with a
story, Chaplin hit the ceiling.
You're through" he roared.
Go to the cashier and draw
your pay!"
The reporter cleared out his
desk. A half hour later, he
started to leave.
Where are you going?" de-
manded Chaplin, his rage spent.
I'm going home" said the re-
porter.
What for?"
"You fired me. didn't you?"
"Oh," cried Chaplin, using
that to get the afternoon off,
eh?"
