REPLICA, n. A reproduction of a work of art, by the artist that made

the original. It is so called to distinguish it from a "copy," which

is made by another artist. When the two are made with equal skill the

replica is the more valuable, for it is supposed to be more beautiful

than it looks.

REPORTER, n. A writer who guesses his way to the truth and dispels it

with a tempest of words.

"More dear than all my bosom knows, O thou

Whose 'lips are sealed' and will not disavow!"

So sang the blithe reporter-man as grew

Beneath his hand the leg-long "interview."
