The Keen NeWsboy.

A banker who counts his wealth by
seven figures, and an exceptionally we'll
known figure on the streets of Chicago.
came out of his Office about dusk the
other evening. As he reached the corner
he stepped up to newsboy and bought
the evening papers, but when he felt
in his pocket for change he discovered
he did not have q single penny. He
fumbled first through one pocket, then
another, but the search was Ruthless.
IL have no CHANGE he said to the
newsboy, who had patiently waited for
his pay, as he handed back his papers.
"Hain't yer got any money tonight?"
the urchin asked.
Not q cent" answered the banker.
That's all right said the newsboy.
Il kin lend You some. How much dyer
want?''
The banker looked at the boy and
smiled knowingly. The unusual circum-
stance of street arab proffering loan
to millionaire banker struck him AS
being particularly comical. He took q
quick mental survey of the boy and de-
cided what to do.
Give me a quarter. he said. He
paid for his papers and pocketed the re-
naming change. Then, turning to the
boy, he said:
ITS bad habit, that of giving cred
1t to strangers on the street and loaning
them money. You don't know who I
am or whether you'll ever get your
money back. ~
"Oh. know you. You're president
D. that bank over there. ~
Come to my office tomorrow and get
back your loan. F" said the banker as he |
walked to the cable car.
And the newsboy kept right on call.

Half I.anir. Half Enslishm.n.

If, as is sometimes held, though we
ourselves are very strongly of the oppo-
site opinion, the Hottentots and Bush
men Of South Africa are not human
creatures caught in the very act Of de-
veloping from lower forms, but are the
result OF degeneration from some higher
type, then the creature resulting from q
Cross between the two might revert to
the higher type and be Of higher social
feeling and intellectual power than
either. We have ourselves in only one
instance mot an individual who was a
cross between the English and Kaffir
races, though we know that several such
exist in South Africa. This man was
certainly merely composite Of the two
races, without any tendency to rever-
sion. he was the son Of an English gen
tleman; his mother was Kaffir woman
who had not been draggled under the
feet Of civilization.
The man was proud, determined, reso-
lutte. Self educated. he raised himself
to post OF high trust under the Eng
lish government He combined the dash
and courage Of the Kaffir with the pride
and intelligence of the Englishman.
He had the fault, which Is common to
both his parent races, Of being cruel
and indomitable when opposed, but of
the vices supposed to be inseparable
from half enthusiastically and insin-
cerity-he had not trace He was a
man and gentleman. But whether il |
such crosses were common such men
would often arise is quite another ques-
tion.-Fortnightly Review.
