Show Howells Exclusive. Wnen Howells was a cub reporter In .his Ohio youth he was sent by his paper to the state capital to report very- tense and very bitter legislative proceedings there. When he arrived late In the afternoon the session had turned Into a riot, with need of ambulances ambu-lances to carry off the disabled members mem-bers and militia to sit on those still In the ring. As the legislative proceedings pro-ceedings were interrupted by the grand shindy, and as they were not likely to be resumed for some days, Howells, having no legislative proceedings pro-ceedings to report, as instructed, strolled off behind the Capitol and watched a very lovely sunset, writing a charming description of it, which he filed early at the telegraph office, with the note to his managing editor that, there being no legislative proceedings, proceed-ings, he sent instead the sunset "copy." Krehbiel knows, for Henry was there. |
