Amy one who has ever attended the
neWsboyS dinners given in the past
can bespeak Of the genuine pleasure
which the occasion brings to the bows
The offer of the Palace company to
entertain these boys at a Thanksgiv-

and should have the support of the
citizens Of st. Paul by their attend
ance.
A general invitation has been ex-
tended by the Palace people for the
public to attend the dinner, which will
begin at II o'clock Several st. Paul
clergymen have responded to the in

last couple Of days by the circulators
of the three ST. Paul daily papers to
the boys who sell papers on the street
which will admit them to the dinner,
after registering at the Palace store.
The boys will form at Newspaper row
at 1920 and march over to the large
vacant store next to the Palace COM

they will discuss a menu which will
delight the youthful heart. It is as
follows:
Oyster Soup.
Raw Oysters Celery. Pickles
Roast Turkey Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Potatoes. Turnips
Mince and Pumpkin Pie Oranges. Apples
There are very nearly 900 newsboys
in St Paul and the scene at the dinner
table Will be well worth the trouble
