Peter Peterson Hadn't a Cent,

But, With Mrs. Peterson, He

Discovered a Way to Make an

I Old Woman Happy.

By Fred L. Boalt

N'JW and again I get sick and tired of this newspaper game. At such times I

wish I was a clerk in a grocery store, or had a job in the fire department.

Then something happens that makes the game seem worth while, and I

. wouldn't be a fireman for twice the money.

Something happened this morning, and I am as satisfied as a

bug in a rug.

EARLY this week a little, old woman wandered into The Star of

fice. The office boy steered her to the desk of our red-headed

reporter.

The little old woman told the story she had come to

tell. It made a hit with the red-headed reporter. Besides, the

little old woman reminded the red-headed reporter of his grand

mother.

So he wrote a whale of a story about the little old woman.

It began, if you recall: "She'sthe dearest wrinkled little lady you

ever saw."

"The dearest wrinkled little lady" was Mrs. A. A. Newberry,

more'n So, farmer, near Silver dale.

Mrs. Newberry went away, and the red-headed reporter forgot

her in the interest of other things. He gathered and wrote murder

stories, and divorce stories, and suicide stories.

w -w w w

Mrs. N®v*b«rry

One reason why I sometimes sicken of the newspaper game is that too often

sad news and bad news is "good" news. But not always, thank God!

******

THE red-headed reporter's story was read by tens of thousands of folks. Tens

of thousands scanned the features of "the dearest wrinkled little lady," whose

picture went with the story.

It must have made a good many of them think of their grandmothers.

Mrs. Peter Peterson read the story. She passed the paper to Peter Peterson.

When he had finished reading, his wife said: "You go and see her—quick!"

Peter Peterson went.

NOW, the storv the redheaded

rei>orler wrote told how Mrf

Newberry hurt lived for 23
