How They Do 1t.

There are several thousand boys and
hundreds of men engaged in St. Louis,
in buainess that brings weekly pro-
fit of from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t is the
selling of weekly papers. Hundreds
of families live comfortably Oh the pro-
fits of the sales of the daily newspa-,
ers.
In St. Louis the favorite newspaper
with the boys is the POST DISPATCH
because it sells best. An investigation.
has shown that the boys sell more cop
les of the daily POST-DISPATCH.
than the combined sales of the two 9TH
er English evening papers,
One of the pleasures the boys find i'm.

please. While many have regular COR

papers.
The situation is quite different on,

are out in search of buyers.
There are four English Sunday pa

ey. The Sunday POST DISPATCH
has many original and exclusive fea-
lures, including the Colored Comic
Weekly.
These great newspaper offices have
what is called "CirculatiOn Depart
ment," the object of which is to pro-
mote the sale of The papers. This de-
partment answers all requests for SAM
pie copies (which are sent free), and so
on. In the country, as in St. Louis.
they are constantly looking for agents
(boys and men to represent them).
This is done by the aid of travelling
men and correspondence. All letters
are promptly answered. 1t is pleasant
work, especially in the towns outside
of st. Louis. Boys in the outside
towns are not called newsboys, but
agents.
More money is made outside of St.
Louis because the selling price is more,
and the profit greater.

The Pierian Chautauqua Circle held
its ~,isual semi-monthly meeting in the
chapel last Sunday. Several very in
tefesting papers we're read, after which
the mock congress for parliamentary
practice was resumed. 1t seems that
the boys prime themselves between the
meetings with points of order to make
which keep the president on his mettle
continually. At this last meeting a
resolution which has been under con.
sideration for four consecutive sessions
again came up, and after considerable
discussion one of the members raised a
point of order against it which threw
it out. This, however, will not perma-
nently cripple the mock congress. The
musical program presented was, as
usual, greatly enjoyed.
