REPORTER AND CHINAMAN,
The Newspaper Mu Was Vary Tired
Wheo the Oriental Finished.
Numberles* are tbe trick* which
newspaper reporter* play upon one an
other to relieve tbe somber "grind" of
their calling. Two young men employ
ed on a morning paper in a large city
were detailed one day to oall upon tbe
resilient Chinamen and "interview"
them respecting aome immigration
meitsure tiien pending in oongrea*. One
of the two reporter* waa a beginner,
and tbe other, an experienced man,
naturally assumed tbe management of
tbe assignment.
"Billing*," be aald after they had
invaded several laundries without any
important renim, uere in mure, a
wish you would go iu and talk with
the proprietor. I waut to know what be
thinks abont Chinamen voting. I’ll go
on aud pull off an interview with the
man who runs this cigar shop next
door. Bomember to use the very aim- ^
plest English at yonr command."
The young reporter went inside the
tea store, took ont his notebook, sud
thus addressed the proprietor, who hap
pened to be alone at tbe moment:
“John, how? Me—me—Telegraph,
John I Newspape—savvy, John? News
pape—print things. Uu’stan? Me want
know what John think about China
man vote, see? What John think—Chi
naman—vote—all same Melican man)
Savvy, John? Vote? What think?”
The Chinaman listened to him with
profound gravity nntil he had finished
and replied:
“The question of granting tbe right
of suffrage to Chinese citizens who have
oome to the United States with ths
avowed intention of making this coun
try their permanent home is one that
has occupied tbe attention of thonghtfnl
men of all parties for years, and it may
become in time one of paramount impor
tance. At present, however, it seems to
me there is no exigency requiring an
expression of opinion from me upon thii
subject. You will please exouse me.”
The young reporter went outside and
leaned again, t a lamppost to rest and
recover from a sudden faintness tbai
had taken posHcssion of him. His oom
rade had purposely “steered him
against” one of the best ednoated Chi
namen in the United States.—Youth'i

Beading at Breakfast.
Beading at breakfast is fatal to socia
bility. In breakfasting alone it is per
missible, but not in oompany. Leigh

accompanied by a coexistent bite of the
toast, comes under the head of intensi

ment to the cook, bnt a newspaper ii
an insult. On the other hand, a news
paper at breakfast is a benefit to the
doctor, for it ia when one is pnt ofl

In the old days of The Spectator and

no barm. Now—well, now the largest

the poorest digestion. It has been re
