What the Copy Boy Wrote.
Representative Dan Anthony ot
Kansas, publisher of tbe Leaveuworth
Times, once had a office boy who
yearned to know how to use a type-
writer—which accomplIshmenL th*
boy figured, w ould make him a regular
reporter.
Anthony turned aq old broken-dowa
machine over to blm, says tbe Waah-
Ington Herald, and bade him learn to
run It.
"Wham I write?" the boy asked.
"Oh, Just take some sentence, any
sentence at all," Anthony told blm,
"and see how long It will take you to
All a page with It."
The boy set to work. An hour or
two later Anthony chanced to notice
the page on which the lad had been
working. From top to bottom of tbe
sheet, and from margin to margin, the
boy had w ritten one sentence over and
over again until there was scarcely a
white spot visible on the paper. Tb*
sentence the boy had selected to prao-
tlce with was: "Who the Invent-
ed school?"

which has never seen the light, but
which will doubtless be published ilk
th* future. Recently the emperor as-
sisted in the preparation of an artlcl*
entitled "How the Kaiser Works." for
the Strand Magazine, tbe proof sheets
