Cincinnati Street Arabs who have Con

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.
THAT big, tall newsboy over there at the
post Office steps is worth $4,000 in his own

1t was another newsbOy who gave this rather
startling bit Of information to the reporter.
Eyes, SIR" continued the talking newsboy.
''that's Alf-Alf Shattler, and he does the big
gest trade of any boy in this city. Why, maybe
you don't believe it. but it's true. he makes
more money in day than any Of the 18th street
clerks do. ALT averages six and seven dollars a

"But he has to work for it?"
"Well, l should say so. How long do you sup

''That's it, SIR You'll see gentlemen come

Further inquiry disclosed the fact that Shat
tier is nearly thirty years old. He is married
and lives on his own property on Spring Grove

which he has refused $4,000. Besides this farm
he owns other property, real and personal, of

"a BARTER wv MY OWN,
An Honest Ferryman's Service to a
Foolish Girl.

According to the Hour, Of New York, Sam
kimper was ferryman on western river. who,
although addicted to drinking, was a good
straightforward fellow, always courteous and
correct in his dealings. One night as he was
pooling" man and woman i'm buggy across
the river he heard her say: "What will nv
father think" Further talk ensued, during
which he recognized the voice of a doctors
daughter living few miles down stream. He
did not like the mans voice, and was confirmed
in his prejudice when the fellow began talking
about going to Cincinnati and not letting
her father know Of their movements
for week. The girl began crying,
and the fellow answered roughly.
She begged him to take her back home 'Take
you back home" said he in round laugh. Let
bird out of cage after you have fairly caught
IT.? On. no! love you too we'll for that" By
this time the boat was nearly across tne river,
and Sam said to the stranger: I" Mister. the
currents pooty swift to-day; there's a right
to make the lines fast ashore while l hold the
boat agin the bank" The man got out and
stood at the bow Of the boat Sam poled it
against the bank with such violence that over
went the man onto the shore. Sam let the
boat drift away and turning to the CIR, amid the
bowls and curses of the man in the water, said:
Reckon We don't want him no more, do
YEP" mo. no." she exclaimed. The girl being
in doubt about her ability to drive home,
even after she had reached the other shore, Sam
let his boat go down the stream. 'What are
going to do?" asked the girl BOAT We down

soon he stopped polling, and the girl said he
must be very tired. Not bit OF it," said Sam
"I'm just slowin' up SOS to reach there about

Thought So" said Sam. 1--WE got a darter

and no one saw the carriage drive off the boat
The girl promised that her father would pay
Sam handsomely. IL don't want the money"
said Sam. ''rve got darter Nv my own
There's one thing l do want" said Sam: "if
doctors don't know good stuff from bad nobody
does; an ef he could send me good solid drink
O. somethin', SEEM twill take me two or three
hours to pole the boat back" The promise VISA
readily given. and in few minutes down came
the doctor with bottle of brandy and two men
to pole the boat back; but Sam said the brandy
would be more useful as we'll as better company.
The doctor wanted to know how he could
repay him. and Sam answered: "You can repay

Advice to Young Men.

Remember, my son, You have t.
work. Whethe" you handle pick oi
pen, II whcclbarrow or Il set Of books
digging bitches or editing paper, ring
ing an auction bell OF writing funny
things, you must work.
If you will look around you, my son,
you will see that the men who are til,
most able to live the rest Of their days
without work are the men who work
the hardest. Don't be afraid Of killing
yourself with overwork, son. 1t is be.
You'd your power to do that Men can
not work so hard as that ON the sunny
side Of thirty. They die sometimes,
but It's because they quit work at 6 p.
m, and don't get home until 2 Il. m.
It's the interval that kills, my son. The
work gives you an appetite for youl
meals, it leads solidly to your slumbers,
it gives you perfect and grateful ap
probation Of holiday.
There are young men who do moi
work, my son; but the world is not
proud Of them. 1t does not even know
their names it simply speaks of then
as Old Soandso's boys. Nobody likes
them, nobody hates them; the great
busy world doesn't even know that they
are there. So, find out what you wan
to be and do, my son, and take off your
coat and make dust in the world. The
buster you are the less deviltry you will
be apt to get into, the swccter will b,
your sleep, the brighter and happier
your holidays. and the better satisfied
will the world be with you.- Elk.
