It has seemed worth while to set down the ao count of the experiences reported in the following pages, not because they represent any important achievement, nor yet because they are conspicu ous for any unusual enterprise, for none realizes better than the writer that they comprise nothing more than the day's work, for the dozens of news paper men that wander the earth. As a lover of the Profession these few little ad ventures are narrated in the hope that they may serve as an interpretation to the lay reader of the motives of the men that go forth to gather the news of the world. Fame, money and reputation are all secondary considerations to the real jour nalist and what he does he does for his Paper and for the pure joy of the game that he plays.
