BOYS SEE THE POINT.
They Make Big Money. Make IL
Easy. No Capital Invested.
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 ON 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
or English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys find in
selling papers is they are their "own
boss" They come and 60 when they
please. While many have regular cor
ners and news stands, others merely
walk the streets, each having his own
peculiar way of "crying" out his own
papers.
The situation is quite different ON
Sunday. The papers are printed in the
morning and by six o'clock the boys
are out in search of buyers.
There are four English Sunday pa
pers. Many boys take out 300 papers,
A boy taking from 200 to 300 papers,
has all he can do to get over the
ground.
Sundays as on week days finds the
POST DISPATCH everywhere. It's a
ready seller. It's the most for the mon
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 Ihe 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 theml.
This is done by the aid of travelling
men and correspondence. ALI 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.
1t you would like to be an agent for

It is hopeful sign when it is
difficult to empanel a jury in a
trial for murder, because so many
men are found opposed to capital
punishment. In Minneapolis, last
week, it took two days to select a
jury on such case, and the main
reason for delay was the almost
uniform revulsion that has taken
possession of the people relative
to what we insist on calling legal
murder It is hopeful, we say,
when such is the case. We do not

for delay was ever assigned. AS
