New York, Aug. st is possible that,
while you are member Of the most
svagger club in town, you do not belong
tn rthe Junior High-F1yers. And yet
it's members are to be met everywhere.
At this time of year the outward visible
sign of their membership consists in their
lack of hats, and their disdam for shoes
and stockings, The club is very large
one. and it is quite ready to take in other
members, provided some boy who already
belongs. will vouch for ode felIer's
straightness." There is no secretary and
no treasurer; and not having aspirations
towards club house, the Junior High
FLYERS generally meet on the docks, on
the roofs. and on the various trucks that
fringe the river side. The club is so large
that it seldom has a general meeting more
than once a year, and this is to arrange
for picnic Investigation has proved
that the idea in regard to the picnic comes
from some OF the great big-hearted fell
lows who frequent the East Side, not as
missionaries, but as friends, and whose
greatest delight is to give pleasure to the
Junior High-Flyers.
When they met last week it was an
nOunced before the assembled club of
about seven hundred and fifty boys, whose
ages ranged from s to Is, by a somewhat
elderly High-Flyer: "Now, this yer pic
mic is to be a independent one. Each boy
has got to put in two cents to pay for de
boat and de whites, and den each one of
youse will feel as an American citizen
should, that he is indebted to nobody for
his fun, and that he can pay his money
had been prepared for this announcement,
and so they came up in turn to deposit the
two cents.
wOMAN's PRESENCE NOT DESIRED.
Then the speaker went on: "Youse un-
derstan' dis yer is to be a gay old time at
which there amt to be no girls present"
Nav, nav, no gurls." The speaker
smiled, kicked a small boy, looked around
as he probably viii some day in the
Senate, then said: That's nv idea.
but before l go any further 1 want
to know what Lame Charlie is waving his
cane with a wipe on it for. Eff he's got
anythink ter say, let Butcher Jim and
lsadore lift him up an Wen listen to him
Butcher jim and Isadore did their duty,
and Charlie said: "Of course I'll go
wherever the boys are going to have a
good time, and it is mighty good of the
Junior High-Flyers to be bothered with
ne, but l think some of you might ask
the lady member of the whist club"
The whist club and its admirers cheered
nercely at this, and the speaker, with
great dignity, said: sit is moved an
resoluted that the lady member of the
whist club be took along" And that's
how l got there.
Following this, small red-headed boy
whose business, like that of most of the
boys, Is to supply the world at-large with
reading matter, was "histed" up, and
Wltha brogue as thick and as sweet as
cream, he asked; "And why, amt we
goln' to to take sister Mary Angela2" The
entire audience voted for sister Mary
angela. Then another boy really got up,
lof he was tall enough to be seen by the
audience, and he said ''Say, fellers, the
lady members of the whist club and sister
Mary Angela is in it, an I want to know
what the matter with invitin' Laughin'
