LET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID When over the fair fame of friend or foe The shadow of disgrace shell fall, instead of words of blame, or proof of thus and so, Let something good be said. Forget not that no fellow-being yet May fall so low but love may lift his head; Even the cheek of shame with tears is wet, If something 'good be said. No generous heart may vainly turn aside In ways of sympathy; no soul so dead But may awaken strong and glorified. If something good be said. And so I charge ye, by the thorny crown, And by the cross on which the Savior bled. And by your own soul's hope of fair renown, Let something good be said. James Whitcomb Riley.

Bes results in this regard can be obtained by the use of Hewitt's Easy Task Soap. It loosens the dirt and cuts the grease, but does not scratch. Costs five cents and keeps things sparkling.

NEWSPAPER WORLD SUSTAINS GREAT LOSS

Recollections of the Late W. E. Curtis, Able, Entertaining, but Egotistical Reporters on the Stage and in Real Life.

BY ESTHER GRIFFIN WHITE. The death of the famous newspaper j correspondent, W. E. Curtis, long con nected with the Chicago RecordHerald, recalls a meeting the writer once had with him, at a time when Curtis was slated for a talk, or rather, a lecture. This was pulled off at a meet of an organization of newspaper people and writers to which both belonged, Curtis ' developing no success as a platform ' speaker owing to his voice, which was thin in quality, and to a dry, laconic manner, a combination which did not prove attractive. The substance of his address was interesting but it would have read far more effectively than it sounded in delivery. While Curtis was an agreeable man, after a fashion, he was also very much obsessed with the conviction of his own importance and caused much amusement during the days in which he remained with this group of people by his pomposity. There were several young newspaper men on deck who wanted to get special interviews out of Curtis, and, indeed, other writers who would have liked to have talked with him on professional subjects, but Curtis referred them all to "My Secretary, Brown." This assumed the proportions of such a huge joke and so much goodnatured fun was poked at Curtis, that he finally became aware of it and decided, evidently, to forget his pose. After he shook off the incubus of greatness, Curtis proved to be most amusing and entertaining. Before he descended from his pedestal, he wa3 voted by everybody, however, tiresome and impossible. When Curtis learned that the writer was from this city, he became very animated and made many inquiries about Mr Francis A. McNutt, formerly of Richmond, and later of tne Linited States diplomatic service, who has lived for many years abroad and who now has his home in Rome. At the time Curtis was special envoy to the Vatican he came in contact with Mr. McNutt, who at that time was Chamberlain to Pope Leo XIII and, Curtis made it evident, he considered himself affronted by Mr. McNutt in the latter's official capacity. With his high esteem of his own accomplishments and appointment as special envoy, Curtis resented Mr. McNutt's "stand-in" at the Vatican, chiefly because he was merely another American and also because, on account of the latter's closeness to the Pope, Curtis could not make as much of his pretentions as he would have liked. He talked a good deal to the writer about all this, and the whole thing was amusing enough. Curtis, it is said, did a good deal of "long distance" writing, as it is called in newspaper offices. That is, he often wrote of people and events seemingly at closer range when the contrary was true. W. E. Curtis was one of the most famous newspaper men America has ever had and did much to dignify his calling. He was an able, erudite and entertaining writer and the newspaper world sustains an irreparable loss in his death. The newspaper man in "Get Rich Quick Wallingford" was one of those extraordinary stage "pencil pushers" with which the theatrical public is familiar, but the like of which was never seen on land nor sea nor yet in a newspaper office. Stage reporters strangely enough affect all the gushing enthusiasm of an ingenue. They bubble over and talk breathlessly and run howlingly out of the exits in the direction of their respective goals in a manner that would do honor to a debutante at bet first party. Not that debutantes howl but they, of ten shriek. Real reporters, especially young ones, are so afraid somebody will find out they are novices that they freI quently take on a manner of owlish sophistication which might deceive anybody but another reporter. Ana tne older tne reportoriai, or newspaper brand, the more cast-iron the countenance, the more deathly the demeanor. A newspaper man would : sooner commit awful suicide than be- : tray emotion or enthusiasm about any' 1 thing. He assidiously cultivates a j lack lustre manner. Nothing can sur I prise him. He is a terrible cynic. He doesn't believe in the surety of anything except payday. And on some papers is not invariably positive of that. For sharpening the wits, if there is any material to go on, newspaper work is incomparable. While it is true that there are a good many reporters that should be running peanut stands, as that,would be congenial occupation for gentlemen or their mental calibre, it is still truer that the majority are clever, shrewd and capable, with the ! foundation of a high school an more often, a college education. A reporter is required to deal with all kinds, conditions and classes. In time his experience is like a corroding acid that eats into the plate of his spirit and leaves ineffaceable scars He rubs up against what is sometimes called "the seamy side of life." He sees all the falsities, the shams, the pretenses, the hypocrisies, the mean nesses, the puerilities of life, and his deductions, if sometimes slightly out of focus, are natural And it is astounding the amount of misinformation that is handed out to him. After your initiate into the rep"ertorial or editorial field, you find out

how little mental continuity there is in this world. How few people see

clearly or are able to tell with any degree of intelligibility what they have seen. The first great lesson you learn is the almost universal lack of accurate observation. Papers and reporters are frequently denounced for inaccurate or balled-up statements when the truth is, it is the source of information that is at fault. After a thing is down in black and white it has quite a different appearance than it sounds "by word of mouth." People often repudiate, in toto, what they have said. And are sincere in denying it. Why? Because a thing down in type is one thing. Your comprehension of it, the mental picture you have formed, and its ver bal transfer, are quite another. The written word is the spoken word magnified to the nth degree. It is speech accentuated. On the other hand there is a woeful lack of mental continuity, at times. among reporters. Their wits wander. They do not fix their attention on what is being said. And in this way distort an accurate statement without intent. This is exceptional, however. For it is the reporter's business to be accurate. Or should be. He must listen for his "story." Sometimes he has to weed out his material from a mess of extraneous fact and near-fact that makes the mental effort exhaust ing. The first thing he has to learn is to listen. And this is an invaluable mental discipline. One that very few people practice or know how to practice. There is, in fact, no better training for clarity of thought and vigor of decision than that found in the newspaper office and its activities. This is the reason that so few stage reporters- are convincing. It's the popular, if fallacious, idea that the public has of a newspaper man and Is invariably applauded. But it is about as near the real thing as a kindergarten is like life. SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS Sunday School Lesson by Rev. Dr. Linscott for the International Newspaper Bible Study Club.

The Return From the Captivity. Ezra. 1 : 1-1 1 ; li : 64-70. NATIONWIDE INTER EST IN MOON MURDER DANVILLE, Ind., Oct. 7. Not since the famous Hinshaw murder case has this section displayed such a lively interest in a criminal trial as is now manifested in the Moon murder trial, which is scheduled to begin Monday. The defendant. James Harvey Moon, is accused of the murder of Constable Oliver Wilhoite and of Mrs. Nora Moon Baldock. The double tragedy occurred last May. Constable Wilhoite was shot and killed at the Moon home, where the officer had gone to serve a writ of restitution. The killing of Mrs. Baldock, a cousin of Moon, occurred immediately afterward at her own home, about a quarter of a mile from the Moon home, where Wilhoite was killed.
