The Rosie world,
by Parker Fillmore
Category: Fiction

Terence had a regular newspaper business which kept him busy every day from the close of school until dark. His route had grown so large that recently he had been forced to engage the services of one or two subordinates. Rosie had begged to be given a job as paper-carrier, to deliver the papers in their own immediate neighborhood, and Terence was at last allowing her a week's trial. If she could be a news girl without attracting undue attention, he would be as willing to pay her twenty cents a week as to pay any ordinary small boy a quarter.
