i Fun, Isn't It? "I wish I didn't have any morx to do than you fellows." said a Columbus man to a Republican reporter this morning. Then he added: "You just walk around a lfttle while and then fill up the paper. It's the easiest job I know of. A reporter has a snap." Yes, dear reader, that gentleman was exactly right. A reporter ha a snap.

There was once a Columbus boy who was night clerk in a restaur- ant. He stayed up all night and went to school all day. He slept between! 7 and 8 o'clock each morninc When asked how he liked his job he replied; that he had a snap. And a good many 1 reporters have the same kind of a soft position. The man who thought reporters 1 have nothing to do but draw their high salaries and have people beg them to accept news ought to follow one to work some morning.

He would see tSat the reporter faced several col- umns of blank space which must l. filled before the paper goes to press. What there to write to help fill mi this aching void? Perhaps a "hopper" or two and mavbe a personal. This when written takes about three inches off the blank space to be filled Then Mie reporter starts out. He goes to se the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker.

Each one of them calmly tells him that he never saw things as dull as they are lodny. II" sees the city officers and not one of them knows anything for publication. He enters the court house and the auditor's office does not produce any pay dirt. The treasurer's office is barren of news and so Is the office of the recorder. The sheriff does not know a thing in the world and the clerk looks up from the musty records to say that not a sign of a paper has been file! with him that would make news.

The banker, the lawyer, the physician, the merchant and all the others scratch their heads and decide that they do not know a bloomin' thing And this heart-breaking sort of thine keeps up all dav. Now and then a line-or two drops from some one who has Just happened to think that he remembered something: No miner looking for pay streaks even panned any harder. Every nook and corner searched and searched again. Anl when afternoon comes, somehow, some way, enough matter has bt" licked Into shape to make a news- parr. It has like pulline te, th bnt 8ni fron, a irc if came.

And as la-t form goo- down and the big press begins tn rum hie the reporter heaves a sis lief and wonder what he win bring forth Yes. it's a sinp. If don' ot v-a It trv your hand and s- 'It is. day for a week's stay at French Lick. Mrs.
