Interviewed His Father.

This story about Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, may not be strictly correct; but it has such good points that one cannot avoid wishing that it were. Owing to some misunderstanding a few years ago, Mr. Watterson and one of h!s sons are not on speaking terms. The young man, however, while a reporter on the Louisville Commercial, was assigned to interview his father. Ho sent up his card and was admitted. “You are, I believe," said Mr. Watterson, holding the curd in his hand, “a reporter for the Commercial?” “Yes, sir,” answered the son. And then Watterson pere answered the questions addressed to him. Both men were very formal, and at the close Mr. AVatterson said, as he usually does alter he is interviewed: “Now, young man, be sure to quote me correctly." The son bowed and left.
