 ''Drummcrs are capable of doing some slick things when they want to The speaker was an eX-drummer. II knew a young member of tho 'profesh,'" he continued, addressing q Savannah News reporter, ''who played a good one on tobacco house in Savannah on one occa- sion.

THE AMERICAN BOY.

He Is Being Crowded Almost Entirely
 Out of Employment.
 What is to become of the boy if the present tendency to crowd him out ot employment goes on? asked the New York Tribune. Messengers with boards seem to be growing moro numerous all the time, and the elevator boy has been largely replaced by the elevator man. Cash boys, once common in the city, have given way to cash girls to . great extent. Tho uniformed. brass buttoned call-boys at the hotels are still little moro than 8 memory, and in their places are men. It is true there are newsboys about the entrance to the bridge, and other places where there are generally crowds of people, but newswomen and newsmen are compet- ing with them in ever-increasing num- bers. Uptown the newsletter has virtually driven the. boys out of the business. With bootblacks the story is the same. A few of them still pursue their calling, but grown Italians have seized hold of the best corners, and with their big arm-chairs easily take away the business of their youthful rivals, whose customers have to balance them selves on ono leg against the sharp cor ner of the building. There arc few boy peddlers of shoestrings and hand kerchiefs, but this occupation is far more appropriate to those who have ar rived at years when an amble is the natural gait. On trains there are still many lads who go about distributing Illustrated papers, light novels and boxes of candy, and then go about again collecting them, incidentally selling . few of the articles, but even here. the men are getting ahead of them. Yes, what shall become of the boy is serious question. If the present movement toward his displacement continues the only thing left for him to do will be to grow up and become a man, but un- fortunately this takes time.
