Ktory. While chat ting with some of his friends In the cloakroom of the House, Mr. Flnerty told a story of how he was dlschnrg'td by .Mr. Htory rlurltig the early days of his career on that paper and then re engage,), a thing previously unheard of under Mr. Ktory. Flnerty had been aHslgneil to report a Sunday sermon but forgot all about It until 11 o'clock at Light. The ser mon was delivered on the lower Side of Chicago anil the minister was a well known Ciilholle priest who had turned Protestant. Remembering only that the man was a Catholic, Flnerty, nothing daunte.1, wrote a column of the alleged sermon, and being a Cath fdlc himself, worked ! r. to tills "sermon" several severe raps at the Protestant faith. When he read the other papers the next morning Flnerty saw his mistake, but reported for duty as usu al. Soon he was summoned Into the presence of Mr. Story where he found a clerical looking gentleman ln conversatlon with the "old man," as all edltors-ln-cnlef are called. Of course Flnerty admitted having written the sermon and Mr. Story, firm and dllgnlfled, but apparently In dignant at the temerity of any man who would thus Impose upon the Times, promptly discharged him. The minister began to plead the young man's cause; said he did not want him dlschargeed: that he probably meant no harm, and that It was a better ser mon than he could have preached any how, save that it misrepresented him In the matter of the faith ne professed. Hut Flnerty had to go, and the min ister followed. While Flnerty was packing up. his personal effects the office boy told him the"old Man" wanted to see him again. "Mr. Fin crty," thundered Story, "I discharged you a while ago. A man v,io did what you did ought to be discharged. Re port to the city editor; he has been Instructed to hire you again, but don't let that sort of thing happen again." Flnerty, In telling the story, said that lie thougnt he heard a quiet little chuckle as he emerged from the sanc tum. Indicating that gruff and stern ns he was Mr. Story had a sense of the ridiculous anylvnv. Flnerty. re mained there for years and won his spurs. He came to Washington as a special editorial correspondent In the 3 1 t ii Congress, and liked It so well that ho went back to Chicago and was elected to servo one term himself.
