When Charles Dickens
Was Newspaper Reporter
Recently there appeared a news-
paper cartoon which told of the .cub
reporter who rose in the early hours
of a 'cold morning to see his first
story in print. 'Hie had covered- a fire
and ked written an aesthetic descrip-
tion of bhe direction and fury of .the..
flames. He opened the paper and dis-
covered that the callous editor had
cut down his two column, story to a
few lines, whieh crudely stated that
a fire of unknown origin had broken
out somewhere—damage not much.
The thoughts of the reporter are not
on record, but every newspaperman
can imagine what they were. Probab-
ly each can recall a similar desire to
see his first story in print and his
disappointment or delight on behold-
ing it. Charles :Dickens was not an
exception. He tells of his agitation
when his first article appeared;
"son which occasion I walked down
Westminster Hall, and :turned into
it for half ,an hour, -because my eyes
were so dimmed with. joy and pride
that they could nit -bear the street,
and were not fit to he seen there,"
What a jeer that will bring forth
from some of the hardboiled report-
ers of 'to-dayl But observe the change
in countenance when they ,learn of
the comparative ease with which

tinmate friend) John Forster, in 1.$45,
he said:

ing 'Chronicles 'Great or small, itdid

grumbled to pay for."
Dickens was' a perfect shorthand
writer, Verbatim reporters w e r e
essential in his day. Strictest ac-
curacy was required, "and a mistake
would have been to a young man sev-
erely compromising."
.On, the occasion of his presiding
at the second annual dinner-' of the
newspaper -press -fund in May, 1865,
the great novelist told of his fre-
quently having transcribed words for
the printer from his shorthand notes
'writing- on -the -palm of• -my hand:"
by the light of a dark lantern, in a
Post -chaise and four, galloping
through a wild country, and through
the dead of night at the then sur-
prising rate of 15 miles an hour."
An incident which comes to mind
for the sake of comparison is that
which occurred same- months ago
and which involved tem .memibere
reporter and a photographer --and
workingmen oT Toronto who were
sent north to work on the -Trans-
Canada Highway. The workers' train
left Toronto almealtat midnight on a
Thursday; the two newsmen left at
the same moment by automobile. Rae-
ing north, passing over all sorts of
roads, they beat the train, welcomed
thee -nen to. the camps, took their pic-
tures, secured material for their
story and then edashed back, where,
haggard -eyed and weary, they turn-
ed out their stuff in time for the
early morning press on Saturday.
They covered some 700 miles by car;
the whale 'a'ffair meant 26 hours
steady going, each snatching a little
sleep here and there. But they did
it.
Fortunately for them.they were nos
travelling in the early party of the
nineteenth century. "Travelling
home from'excitiltg political meetings
in the country to the waiting press in
London," Dickens has told'," "I do
verily believe I have been upset in
almost every description of vehicle
known in this country. I have been,
in my time, belated on miry by -roads,
'Edwards 'the small hours, 40 or 50
miles from 'London, in a wheelless
carriage, with exhausted horses'' and
drunken post -boys and have got back
in time fort publication." Parliament-
ary reporters, while they loiter in the
comparatively luxurious quarters pro-
vided for them by the 1: eser:I legis-
latures, should think of the unfortu-
nate pressmen who lived almost a cen-
tury ago. In some reminiscences of
Dickens we find the following: "I
have worn any knees by writing on
them on the old back -row of the old'
gallery of the olcI House of Com --
mons; and I have worn my feet by
"standing to write. in -a' preposterous
pen in the old House of Lords, where
we .used to behuddled together like
so, many sheep—kept in waiting, say,
until the woolsack might want re -
stuffing." But the newspaper field
has not changed init essential char-
acter. The . great novelist ..in after
years often referred to "the fascin-
ation of that old, pursuit." There are
many other men prominent in all
walks of life who laid the, basis of
their careers as newspaper reporters,
and probably each -will say with
-Dickens: "To the wholesome train-
ing of' severe' newspaper work, when
I was a very young man, I constant-
ly refer my first successes." -
Paper Your Rooms Now
Say Dealers and Decorators
Canadian wallpaper manufacturers,
dealers and decorators are just now
co-operatingclosely in a unique cam-
paign• desiguied to show Canadian
homemakers the wisdom and the econ-
omy of early action on their plans
for Spring decoration. '
Practically every home is treated
each Spring to some "sprucing .up,"
and the re -papering of at least one
,room is a very common item on this
decoration program. In many homes
of course, several rooms are refresh-
ed and transformed by bright, new
wallpaper. ,
There are definite reasons why this
work should be done'now rather than
be left until later on in the Spring.
The new patterns and colors are now
on display in com.plete stocks. Dec-
orators are in a position to do better
work now than later in the season.
The charm of freshly redecorated
rooms will he enjoyed during the sev-
eral weeks that still remain of the
"Weer season."

has enabled the stores to offer Can-

It is, by the way, a source of pride

Pointing out that the labor costs

Canadian Garden Service
Paper Mulch
Paper mulch in the vegetable gar-
den is now passed the experimental
stage, and results; obtained at both
private and government places would
indicate that under certain conditions
thisnew method' of hurrying gro'wth-
„r',_
has some decided 'advantages. The
paper is quite similar to the ordinary
black building kind, though it is
tougher, so that it will stand a fair
amount of traffic and- weathering. It
may be obtained from practically
any seedeman in different widths to
suit the particular vegetable being
grown. After the soil is 'thoroughly
prepared for seeding, the paper i•-
fastened down with long home-made
staples of cheap, black wire, between
the rows, with only an inch or so of
space between strips for the seed. In
the case of tomatoes, cabbage, and
other plants, these are inserted in
holes punched in the paper, and those
•vegetables planted in hills are hand-
Ied in the same way. This mulch.
notonly keeps down practically all
weed growth but it also heats up the
soil and stimulates very quick and
very early growth. Any one who has
laid his hand on a tarpaper roof when
the sun is shining will understand
the principle upon which this new
method of gardening is based. After
early crops of peas, spinach and head
lettuce have been used, later thing;
may be 'brought on while the paper is
in place.
Sweet Peas
Most of the difficulty in growing
good sweet peas is due to late plant-
ing. For best, or even satisfactory
results, these flowers must be sown
just as early in the spring as it is
possible to dig the ground. In most
parts of the country, this will mean
March or 'early, April. The very
finest blooms are produced in those
sections of Canada where the ground
Is high and the nights tool, although
with the proper method this flower
may be grown almost anywhere. It
must make its growth during the
early cool weather and the root
system must go deep down into the
soil: • Dig a trench about a foot wide
and two feet deep, and into this put
a six-inch layer of decayed leaves,
well -rotted manure or other material,
and on top two inches of.fine garden
soil. The seed is planted in this, a-
bout three inches apart and an inch
deep, and as growth starts the trench
is gradually filled in, in order to en-
courage a very deep root develop-
ment. At- least three feet of climb-
ing support in the form of brush,
strings, or poultry netting, should be
provided. Soak thoroughly in water
during dry weather, and it is a good
thing( to give one application of liq-
uid manure, or garden commercial
fertilizer dissolved in water, during
the early stages of growth. Bloom-
ing should start in July, and if one
wants to have this continue until frost
`pick the flowers daily, making abso-
lutely sure that no seed pods are al-
lowed to develop,
Seed
Seed is the very foundation of good,
gardens, and about the only factor
over which the owner has absolute
control. As the cost in any case is
but a few cents. there should be no
5i
' temptation to sacrifice quality, • but
,only the very -best should be used,
and this obtained from Canadian
sources in order that one gets seed
selected with Canadian coeditions in
mind. The use of seed saved from
the home garden cannot be ree'om-
mended, as -this is almost sure to be
very mixed. Unless one goes to the
trouble of screening individual lowers
from bees and insects, and cross- po1-
lenizing, it is absolutely impossible
to prevent mixing of colors in flow-
ers and of types in vegetables. Then,
too, in order to secure earliness and
quality, it is often necessary that
seed be secured from a district where
the season is much longer etban our
own.
Lawn Repairs
Early Spring is the proper time to
attend to those bare spots in the lawn.
One can sometimes' re -seed these by
sowing during one of the last snow
-storms. In this case, no cultivation
is used, the melting snow carrying
the seed into the soil. If we leave
the work until later, Vie should stir
up the bare spots thoroughly with a
rake, sprinkle liberally with a mix-
ture of good lawn grass seed, roll or
pound thoroughly, and cover with a
bit of, :brush or poultry netting te
keep the birds awau.. A"t this time,
too, an application of good commer-
cial fertilizer will act es' a spring
tonic. Most of the trouble with
