Boys See the Point,
THEY MAKE BIG MONEY. MAKE IT EASY. NO CAPITAL INVES-
 TED. HOW THEY DO TT.

There are several thousand boys and hundreds of men engaged i'll St Louis in business which brings weekly profit of from $S, 900 10 $l0,000. It's the sell ing of daily papers. Hundreds of families live comfortably on the profits of the sale of daily papers
 In St. Louis the favorite newspaper with the boys is the Post Dispatch, because 1t sells best. An investiga- tion has shown that the boys se. more copies of the Daily Post Dispatch than the combined sales of the two other English evening paper,
 One of the pleasures the boys find i'll selling papers is they are their town boss. They come and go when they please. While many have their regu- lar corner and neWstands, others mere ly walk the streets each having his own way of crying" out his papers.
 The situation is quite different 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 pa pers. Many boys take out 300 papers, boy taking from two to three hun dred 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 fer the money" The Sunday Post-Dispatch has many original and exclusive feat ures, including the Colored Comic Weekly.
 These great newspaper offices have what is called q Circulation Depart ment" the object of which is to pro- mote the sale of the papers. This de partment answers all requests fer sample copies (which are sent free, and so on, In the country as in St. Louis, they are constantly looking for agents" (boys or men to represent them.) This is done by the aid of travelling men and correspondence All letters are promptly answered. It is pleasant work, especially in the towns outside of St. Louis. Boys in 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.
 If you would to be an agent for tine Post Dispatch in this city write t5 the circulation department of the Post Dis patch, St. Louis.

J. J. Tharp, aged 53 years, one month and sixteen days, died at his home northeast of Green For est.
 For years he had been sufferer from various diseases, and on Sat urday, Feb. 25, 1899, at 4 o'clock p. m., God in his infinite mercy saw fit to call him home to join d l the ransom that never, never re : turns.
 He leaves wife and three chil- dren and 8 host of friends 10 mourn his loss, but what is our loss is heavan's great gain. Say, why should friends grieve For those who safely arrive on
 Caanan's shore Relieved from earthly foes ?- They are not lost. but gone before. How many faithful days on earth Their fain ting spirits numbered

 Now they enjoy heavenly birth They are not lost. but gone before. Dear is the spot where brother
 sleeps,
 And sweet are the strains which
 angels pour, o, why should we in anguish weep ?- They are not lost, but gone before. Secure from every mortal care By sin and sorrow vexed no more,- Eternal happiness, they share. Who are not lost, but gone before. To Zon's peaceful country alone In faith triumphant may we soar, Embraicng in the arms of love The brother, not lost, but gone
 before.
 On Jordan's banks, where'er we

 And hear the swelling waters roar, Father, convey us safely home, To friends, not lost, but gone be-

right nor left They are as immovable and
apparently as lifeless as statues, though
doubtless they are necessary, for among the
hundreds of men who draw the lot there
are many who, after all their dreams OF
glory, in which they figure as Chasseurs de
Vincennes or as something equally petted

CATCHING QUAIL IN EGYPT.
Over II Million Trapped Annually In
the Land of the PharaOhs.


There has been much said lately of the
capture of quail in Egypt in regard to the
protest made by Frenchmen about carrying
the birds across French territory for Eng
lish use. 1t is then interesting to have some
details on the long chase which is carried
on against these unhappy little birds in the
land of the Pharaohs.
The passage of bands of quail over the
coast of the delta of the Nile, from Port
Said to Alexandria, begins in September and
lasts a month and a half, the birds arriving
in little groups and alighting on the dunes.
Generally the chase is made by means Of
nets five meters high which the natives ex-
tend on cords fastened to poles, in the fash
ion of curtains gliding on their rods.
In reality the net is double. The first near
the side of the sea is of meshes very large
and loose, but on the back is another net
where the bird will really come and perch
itself in the folds formed by this second net
OF small meshes. There is another method
of capture which is more picturesque. Rows
of dried branches are placed on the shore.
At the foot of each branch is disposed a
tuft Of fresh herbs in the middle Of which
is arranged an opening which ends in a
snare. The quail, tired by its journey, takes
refuge in the branch, then in the bunch of
herbs, naturally, without figuring to itself,
that it is going to put itself into a trap
where a native will surprise and kill it.
With these perfected means of destruction,
il is not astonishing that each year more
than a million of these poor little birds arc
taken

carries 'em. l have eaten six, though. this
morning, and don't feel hungry
The little man took from his pocket
typewriter document which read thus:
Paris, H., Sept. 49, 1S99.-This is to state
that the bearer hereof, Stanley Whitehead, is
a regularly authorized correspondent OF the
Boy and any courtesies extended to him as
such will be duly appreciated by the man
agement DAN SCHENCh, Jr'
Glad to meet you, Mr.. Whitehead" and
then the little newspaper man from Paris,
ILL.,. who is a little less than three feet tall,
sat down and told how the smallest news
paper in the United States is edited and
printed.
The Boy is a two-page weekly paper,
twelve inches long by six inches wide,
printed and circulated in Paris, Ill. Master
Dan Schenck, jr., IA years old, is the editor,
and Master Stanley Whitehead, now visiting
in Chicago, is his assistant. 1t Is livery
little sheet, with a subscription list OF lou,
at two cents a month, "and no dead peats,
says Master Whitehead. The printing Is
excellent and every article in the paper is
newsy and well edited. News and edi-
torials are found in the same paragraph, as
for example, the summing up of the Drey-
fus case in the last issue: AT last Dreytus
is free man, having been released from
prison early Wednesday afternoon. We are
glad that the Dreyfus boys, Pierre and JEAN
have their papa once more
Another item reports that "The Chicago
Union stock yards and surrounding build
| ings, recently visited by the editor of the
Boy, were damaged by fire to the extent of
$275, 900 last Thursday" Which shows that
the editor understands that an enterprsing
| newspaper must blow it's own horn.
| The following article, written by the boy
! reporter, gives an account Of the things he
saw in Chicago and what he thought about
them:
"Among the first things which attract the
! notice of a country boy on his first trip to
Chicago is the endless stream of people
| crowding to their places of business or
pleasure for the rate that most OF them go
Is surely not that of idle persons. The
great lake, which stretches to the north as
far as the eye can reach, dotted with boats,
large and small; the many tall buildings,
some of them alone containing more people
than some of the small country towns,
stretching for miles and miles in every di-
rection imaginable; the many fruit stands
and newspaper boys which crowd on every
corner are prominent. Then there is the
beautiful windows in the large retail houses
the elevated railroads winding in and out
through the city like so many large snakes
The beautiful parks. the stock yards, where
many thousands of hogs and cattle are killed
daily, and the dirty Chicago river, swarm
ing with boats of all kinds and sizes and
crossed by swinging bridges at every street
boy who has never visited Chicago coulC
learn more in one week here than in whole
month in the country. Also a Chicago boy
could learn more in the country in one weel
than he could in Chicago In a month Blu
think boy would be happier to live in the
country in the summer and in Chicago il
the winter. STANLEY WHITEHEAD"

FRENCH CONsCRIPTION.
Dramatic Scenes When Boys Draw
Their Army Numbers.

In France little boy looks forward with
longing to the time when he shall serve in
the army Military service is obligatory
and each citizen must do his service unless
he be a cripple. All men draw their lot
for the army when they come of age, and
when their term of service Is over they are
still Obliged to serve thirty days out of every
year until they reach the age OF forty. This
one yearly month OF military drill keeps
them in training for a possible war. There
is no favor shown, and each man enters the
higher or lower branch of the service ac-
Cording to the number OF the lot he draws
The low numbers, from one up, allot the
conscripts to the marine corps, and to the
regiments liable to be sent to countries like
Tonkin. AS the tirage au sort-or drawing
the lot'-approaches the excitement Is in
tense throughout France
In Paris at the Hotel de Vile, as they
stand in line, many OF the boys are almost
in tears from anxiety and nervousness In
many cases friends accompany them and sit
upon benches in the rear Of the conscripts'
benches waiting to hear the numbers called
as they are drawn from the box.
A low number means almost certain
death to the delicate ones. 1t means Tonkin,
torture, fever and savage enemies.
The foreigner, who by some occult in
fluence has been able to effect an entrance
into the Hotel de VILE at such time finds
II impossible TO resist the emotion existent
in the atmosphere. and he offers an in
voluntary accompaniment OF tears TO the
subdued sobbng of the eonscripts' friends
whenever a number below 40" is drawn
from the box.
