At the Reporter’s Table.
Tlie story is told that Emerson, iu
reading a paper of special interest to a
Boston audience, requested the report¬
ers present to take uo notes. Every re¬
porter present save one at once put away
his paper and pencils. Tlie one fell to
work with energy. Mr. Emerson
glanced inquiringly at him several
times, and at length paused and said:
“Tn spite of my request not to be re¬
ported, I observe one of the gentlemen copious
at the press table is making
notes of my paper.” Rising from his
seat and looking at Mr. Emerson with
a look of injured honesty, the reporter
replied: “No, Mr. Emerson, I was not
doing anything of the kind. I was busy
writing on a private work of my own.”
And such was, indeed, the fact. He
was a writer of serial stories as well as a
news gatherer for the daily press.
