The reporter called on the man, and asked him about the news. The man played balloon with the reporter. He swell ed noticeably and said: “You fellows i never get anything right, so I won’t tell you.” The reporter failed. He knew the man was a fool. He had seen them before. He knew the real facts could be had from no one else Yet the reporter did the verv best he could to get at the truth. And pub lished the story as he got it. Then the man who had refused to give facts arose early and bought a paper to see if the facts were distorted. They were. And he said: "I told you so.” Query. With whom should the public yearn to get even the reporter, who did his best, or the arrogant fool, who deliberately refused to help him?

It was; i while serving in his present Conner tion that he discovered the process of manufacturing the polish. No I preparation in shinning up old phones seem to work just right and consequently after a years work, he per feeted a |x>lish that works “like a charm.” Judging from appearances its winner for the inventor.
