BOYS SEE THE POINT.

There are several thousand
boys and hundreds of men en-
gagged in st. Louis in a business
which brings weekly profit of
from $4,000 to $4,000. It's the
selling of daily papers. Hun
dreds of families live comfortably
on the profits of the sale of daily
newspapers.
In st. Louis the favorite news
paper with the boys is the Post
Dispatch, because it sells best.
An Investigation has shown that
the boys sell more copies of the
daily Post Dispatch than the
combined sales of the two other
English evening papers.
One of the pleasures the boys
find in selling papers is they are
their "own boss" They come
and go when they please. While
many have regular corners and
newstands, others merely walk
the streets each having his own
peculiar way of Crying" out his
papers.
The situation is quite differen
on Sunday. The papers are
printed in the morning and by
six o'clock the boys and men are
out in search of buyers.
There are four English Sunday
papers. Many boys take out 300
papers. A boy taking from two
to three hundred 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 money" The
Sunday Post. Dispatch has many
original and exclusive features,
including the Colored Comic
Weekly.
These great newspaper offices
have what is called a "Circulat.
ion Department." the object Of
which is to promote the sale Of
the papers. This department
answers all requests for sample
copies (which are sent free), and
so on, In the country as in ST.
Louis, they are constantly look
Ing for "agents" (boys or men tc
represent them). This is done BY
the aid Of travelling men ant
correspondence. All letters ar,
promptly answered. 1t is pleas
ant work, especially in the towns
outside Of st. Louis. Boys il
Boys in the outside towns are no
called newsboys, but agents.
More money is made outside o
st. Louis because the sellin,
price is more and the profit great

| end considerable change in al
most everything. Land is not so

be plentiful and business Is lively.
The principal business going on here
is numbering and shingle making and

ber here IN the world, 1t consists of
the red furr, the spruce pine and the
red and white cedar, which never
rots. The land is very rich and pro.
ductlve but 1t costs from $50 to
$3.50 per acre to clear 1t. 1t is the
best tame grass country that l have
ever seen. They get from l I-2 to
2 tons per acre of timothy and
clover, and vegetables of all kinds
grow to perfection. 1t IS one of the
finest dairy countries that l ever

The climate of this country IS very
temperate, never very cold nor very
hot, but it is very damp. July,
August and September are called
the dry season, the balance of the
year it rains great deal but never
rains very hard. We have no thun-
der storms or high winds, neither
winter nor summer, nothing mere
than good sea breeze. Some
winters it SHOWS considerable, and
some but very little, but 1t never
lays on the ground long. The health
of this country is good, and wages
range from one to four dollars per

yon do.
