chosen as a chief Of the Canadian abo-
rhymes. Dressed as one of the tribe he
had his portrait painted by +. Meyer in
1877, and an engraving from that paint
ing, presented by Kcan himself to his
friend Halpin, was the one included in
the sale

NEWSBOYS IN MANILA.
They Are napidly Acquiring Amer
lean Ideas, Phrases and
Methods.

Manila now has the newsboy for the
first time III her history. They are a
cosmopolitan lot - Filipino, Chinese
Japs, llindus and representatives Of
races from all the islands-but quite
like the ncwsboy wherever found.
''Thcse urchins are rapidly picking up
and acquiring an English phraseology
which is surprising," says Freedom,
but an equal amount Of curiosity is
aroused in the American when he sud-
denly hears such tunes sung and Wits
tied as Hot Time in the Old Town To-
Night After the BALL. and all the other
popular and unique airs or the Amer
icano, and then sees q little Filipino
youngster with Il bundle Of papers I'M
der his army do it all! We are amused
almost naked, newsboy, but their train
ing will he valuable to most of them.
and it will 10 doubt add to them the eN
pericncc of all public and business at
fairs, and they will be he better for
the work they are doing. We are within
sight and earshot Of the occurrences
and events that are making history for
the nation, but often the newsboy max
ing haste up the street with his papers
gives us the first intimation of such
notable happenings and events as
'Malabon has fallen 'Malolos has been
taken All about the Alnericanos at
Pasig.' Our pet, Manuel de Lalindc, q
young Spanish lad Of l.. years, whose
father was killed in the war, supports
his mother, four sisters and one broth
er by his earnings as ncwsboy, and by
doing work at odd hours. His earn
ings have averaged $50 gold per week,
which equals $40 in Mexican money.
Each night he hands his earnings to
his mother, and already is counting The
months till they can all return to their
old home in Spain."-St. Louis Globe
