WARM HEARTS AND RAGGED
JACKETS.

Warm hearts are sometimes founG
under ragged jackets, as is shown by
the following incident:
A kit is "A box of tools or whatever
Ontfit is needed in n particular branch
of business.
1t surprised the sinners and newsbOys
around the pOstOffice the other day to
see Little Tim" come among them in
quiet way, and hear him say: "Boys,
want to sell my kit. Here's two
brushes, hull box of backing, good
stout box, and the outfit goes for two
shillings."
"GOin' away, TimP" queried one.
Not 'zactly, boys, but want quar-

One of the lads passed over the

quivered, and he pointed to the cOun-

when he d-died."
He hurried away home, but the news
went to the boys, and they gathered
into a group and talked. Tim had not
been home an hour before barefooted

in the box was bOquet of flowers

LITTLE JOE, THE NEWSBOY.

Little Joe first appeared on the
streets of New York two years ago
He was small and slight, with great
brown eyes pinched lips that always
wore n smile. Where he came from
nobody knew and few cared. His pa
rents, he said, were dead, and he had
no friends. 1t was Il hard life. Up at
1 O'Clock in the morning, after sleeping
in dry goods box or in an alley, he
worked steadily till late at night. He
was misused at first. Big boys stole
his papers, or crowded him out of Il
warm place at night, but he never com
planned. The tears would well up in
his eyes, but were quickly brushed
away, and new start bravely made.
Such conduct won him many friends,
and after little while no other boy
dared to play tricks upon little Joe.
But the hard work and exposure be-
gan to tell on his constitution. He
kept growing thinner and thinner, but
the pleasant look never faded away.
He was accomplishing to the last
Two weeks ago he awoke one morning,
after working hard selling "eXtras," to
find himself too weak to move. He
tried his best to get upon his feet but
it was vain attempt.
"Where is Little Joe ?" was the uni
versal inquiry. Finally he was found
in secluded corner, and Il gOod-na-
tuTed hackman was persuaded to take
him to the hospital at Flatbush, where
he said he once lived. Every day one
of the boys went to see him. On Sat
urday, IA newsboy, who had abused
him at first and learned to love after
forwards, found him sitting up in his
cot, his little blue veined hand stretch
ed out upon the cOverlet.
81 was afraid you wasn't coming,
jerry" he said, with some difficulty,
"and | wanted to see you once more so
much. guess it will be the last time,
Jerry, for | feel awful weak to-day.
Now, Jerry, when die, want yOn to
be good for my sake. Tell the boys
But his message was never cOmplet-
ed. Little Joe was dead. His sleep
was calm and beautiful. The trouble
and anxiety on his wan face had disap-
peared. But the expression was still
there. Even in death he smiled.
That night 100 boys met in front of
the city hall. They felt that they must
express their sense of loss in some way,
but how they did not know. Finally,
they passed resolution, which read
as follows:
ReS0lred, That we all like Little Joe,
who was the best newsbOy in New
York. Every bOdy is sorry he has died
On his coffin was plate, purchased
by the boys. This was the inscription
LITTLE JOE,
The Best Newsboy in New York,
We all liked him.
There were no services, but each boy
sent a flower to be placed upon the
coffin OF his friend. This is not a fancy
sketch. Every word of the above
story is true New York World.

KEEPING SUNDAY.

At summer seaside resort yOung
man asked permission to take a young
lady out yachting, but her mother oh

bath. go, we don't have Sundays
down here" returned one of the guests.
Yielding to her daughters entreaties
and the arguments of the other board
ers that they did not keep Sunday
there, the mother consented. The two
young people were gone until late.
On their return the mother expressed
herself much relieved to see her 1augh-
ter safe, saying, in apology to the 9TH
ers : 81 worried all the time NJ was
gone, for / thought, if she had met
with any accident, how it would sound
when noticed in the papers, that it had
happened on Sunday" There was no
Sunday ia this woman's heart, or prin-
ciples. How her conduct appeared in
the eyes of the Most High did not con-
Germ her; she thought only of the
world-what the world might say. A
young man at the same place said, in
excuse for his going yachting that day:
Really, we cannot tell Sundays from
ekdays down here" And why
not " There was no church there
Well, what of thatf Is it necessary to

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept If never saw such
persistent efforts to procure pointers on the
forthcoming crop report as have been made
within the past week. said clerk at the
Agricultural Department to your correspondent
And all these efforts have been made, too," he
continued, sin the face of the announcement
made to and by employees in every room that
not wink could be given out on this subject
under any circumstances"
But there spectators and newspaper
men who say they get indications on this sub
ject, said your correspondent to the emphatic
clerk
"Yes, said he, ''you will find blowhards in every
profession who, for the purpose of selling alleged
information or appearing to be smarter than any
body else, will pretend to have pointers from
the department day or two in advance of every
monthly crop report There is nothing more
sacredy protected than the secrets collected
here relating to crop reports. You asked me to
indicate whether the forthcoming report would
show an increase or decrease over the last report
in the visible supply of wheat. Now, that seems
simple little question, and it looks mean in us
to refuse to answer it. But | would rather have
the answer to that question than 900 cash in
hand. If did not want to use it for speculative
purposes l could sell it for twice that money.
1t is the only thing really worth knowing in the
whole report. 1t is what affects the markets.
Are you often importuned for information of
this characterln

statistician, is hourly beseged from the first to
the tenth of every month; and this in the face
of the universally known fact that for
years he has flatly refused to give any
information on the subject You see
every man who comes for this information
thinks he has new scheme, new trap to
catch some one in, and all sorts of artifces are
tried. They used TO try to bribe clerks. And
stock dealers used TO get men in places here.

way. Mr.. Dodge keeps the matter to himself

that he sells pointers, but have been unable to
discover anything that looks even suspiciously
that way The way he now complies the figures
it would not be possible for him to have reliable
points many hours ahead of the time it is given

dealers only knew it, they are wasting time and
money in trying to get pointers from this
establishment"

Belief that the Quantity Held at the Capital
Will Reach $25O,OOO.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.
WASHINGTON, Sept lin banking, broker
age and financial circles of all kinds here, the
leading topic of discussion to-day was the
fraudulent or overissues of Indiana school
orders. It develops that much larger sum of
these securities was disposed of here than was at
first anticipated. 1t is probable that they will
aggregate over quarter of a million dollars.
One of the most wealthy and prominent private
banking houses, that of Riggs & Company, is
said to hold large block of these orders Sew
eral real estate and note brokers also hold orders
The Journal correspondent called upon we'll
known real estate broker to-day for the purpose
of procuring some information as to the amount
disposed of here and the prices paid, and was
curtly informed that it was matter which did
not belong to the press; that if tho information
sought disclosed, it would only excite
further comment and would defeat several deals
that were being made and trades that were pro-
crossing. The firm the same that negotiat-
ed for Judge Thoman Of the Civil service Com
mission.
On one Of the many trips Davis the Chicago
agent, made here, it is stated that he took from
his satchel or safe at the hotel large bundle of
Indiana school-fund orders, and remarked to
some gentlemen about him, who were consider
ing purchase: "There is $780, 900 worth of
these securities, and l want to sell all of
then before leave here" 1t is believed he sold
them, for he remained here some time and moved
in circles of business men who had means to
invest. There are ali kinds of reports in crcu-
lation about the prices paid for these orders. In
some instances, it is said, only 40 per cent. of
their face value paid. All who purchased
however, claim with emphasis that they paid
dollar for dollar. Several of the order.holders
are weakening in their faith as to the validity of
the securities. Even those cautious individuals
who took pains to ask and secure opinions on the
subject from prominent Indiana lawyers before
investing, and who were assured that the orders
were gilt-edged, weakening. They are very
tired of this thing, and since the assignors may
be proven conspirators in the fraud, the outlook
for order-holders is not very bright
