theory that Carr was shot by q burgIar

The Boy of the Streets.

The boy of the streets has an abounding
sense of the heroic. He is full of senti-
mert which he has learned while leaning
over the top gallery rail of the theater. 1t
is crude and boisterous sentiment, but it
is good in part, for it has taught the boy
to peel his coat in defense of the weak.
The trembling, white haired old fellow
who has been compelled to take up at 40
the employment intended for boys of will
not be received with any reverent consid-
Grafton along the alley. The boys will
call him Grandpap, Whiskers, Santa Claus
or something else just as disrespectful, but
they will never push him out of line when
he is waiting for his armload. They will
"stake' if he ''goes broke" and if he is
hungry they will "divvy." 1t is hardly
necessary to say there is a certain pathos
in seeing two comrades come out from the
roaring and scrambling alley with their
papers under their arms. One is bent and
wrinkled-he couldn't make his voice
heard 10 feet through the frightful din Of
shrieking youngsters and rumbling press
es. The other is about the size of a spar
row, with shoes too large for him and legs
somewhat larger than lead pencils. The
youngster is away like flash for corner
where he is known. The old man putters
behi him. If the boy outspeeds him, the
old man has the advantage of certain
business dignity, and he will find GUS
toners whom the boy has overlooked in
his haste.-Chicago Record.

ErerybodY should Sing.

A writer ON singing says: At the pres
ent era, when physical culture is part of
the curriculum of our most intellectual
schools and is SO generally regarded as q
necessary element toward supplying and
maintaining the sound body for the sound
mind, it is worth while to consider a re-
cenJ statement of eminent physicians that
the mere exercise of singing is a great help
toward the prevention, cure or ameliora-
ton of lung diseases. twas disclosed by
statistics in Italy some years ago that
vocal artists are usually long lived and
healthy land that brass instrument players,
who bring their lungs and chest into unu-
sual activity, have not had a consump-
tive victim among them. No matter how
thin or weak the voice, young people should
be encouraged to indulge in song. There
could be no happier medicine, and if hear
ers sometimes suffer they should be en-
couraged to bear the infliction in view of
the good it may do. "-Argosy.
