Boys Essay On Breath.

A little boy in the No. til Side pub

Breath :"
Our breath IS made OF air. If it
were not for our breath we would

our liver, our lights and our lungs.

until they get out door,. Air in a

The same applies toany one whose

Have you ever picked ZIP a penny
on the street, IL 50. you probably
h~v- not stopped minute to think
how the copper came to be lying
liie;e. 1t probably never entered
our mini that the former owner Of
iii t penny threw IL away purposely.
Your natural CONCLUSION after find
ing the coin was that some one had
accidentally dropped it.
1t is a fact that Chicago has many
men whose superstition takes the
form of regarding the possession Of
copper CONS as unlucky. These men
will never keep copper in their
pockets if they can help themselves,
Tor which newsboys are profoundly
grateful Should a stray penny find
its way into the clothes of these su.
perstitions creatures, it is quickly
flung away with a sigh of relief
and as quickly picked up unless in
invi IDLE to the Chicago eye.
This habit is common amongpoli-
ticians, SPECTATORS, gamblers of the
ordinary kind, actors and some bust
ness men, who would rather lose
good dinner than be among thirteen
at the table These men, who look
upon the despised but useful cop
per as a "hoodoo" are the same
men who carry the left hind foot Of
a rabbit, horse chestnut or other
supposed charm in their vest pocket
to ward of the evil genius known as
bad luck. Some of these cranks go
SO far as to keep penn:esou Of their
homes, and as long as the children
get their pocket money in more
valuable metal there is no objection
to the boycott on copper. There are
men IN the city hall and county
building who honestly think they
would be beaten at the polls or lose
their job if a penny got into their
pocket Chicago Tribune.

In response to the thousands of

charged, and on single days thenum-
