A Reporter's Life. Young men, anxious to become leading journalists, are usually put at the lowest grade of reportorial work. It is drudgery, but then it shows to the editor if the youth has the quali ties out of whit h a journalist may be made. A story is told of a college graduate who applied to a New York editor for a situation. He was sent, on trial, to report a coroner's inquesti and returned to the office with four foolscap pages of manuscript. "Boil it down to ten lines," said the editor, tossing him the parcel. An hour or two after, the editor inquired of his subordinate manager, "if that fellow had made anything of his re port." "Yes, he did pretty well for a graduate he only left out the ver dict of the jury." The following description of a reporter's life may seem exaggerated to the uninitiated. But though it is humorously put, it is not greatly overdrawn: In order to get the facts with which to construct his numerous articles, he must travel on an average five miles a day, or an aggregate of 1,500 miles a year. During these perambulations he asks several thousand civil questions and gets several thousand uncivil an swers; gets ordered out of offices and houses; has dozens of doors slammed in his face; is asked 10,000 questions and returns as many short but civil answers. He is button-holed 1,300 times by parties who desire to impart a good item about themselves; is let into several political secrets by candidates, which are bare faced boasts; is wel comed wherever his pencil will put money into people's pockets or give them a little notoriety. However, he pays full rates for board, best prices for clothes, either walks or pays full fire on the street cars. While others are enjoying the so cial party, lectures, a turn on the roller-skates or marching with a po litical club, the reporter is wrestling with a mass of chaotic facts and en deavoing to get them into shape for you to read while you quietly despatch your good warm breakfast. He goes to bed at three o'clock in the morning and between the annoy ances of flies, noisy chambermaids and pencil of sunlight boring into his eyes, he does well to get seven hours' sleep ly the time he is aroused at noon for bis breakfast. At two o'clock lie reports at the office and begins tin same old round of duties. But taking one considera tion with another, the life of a re porter is not mnch worse than that of a street Car driver iftCf all. Oil City Dorri- k. f Remedy such as Diseases! 1 TETTER. ITCH. SORES.
