BOYS SEE THE POINT.
They Make Big Money. Make 1t
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

les of the daily POST-DISPATCH

One of the pleasures the boys End in
selling papers is they are their Gown

please. While many have regular cor
ners and news stands, Others merely
walk the streets, each having his own
peculiar way of "rry ing" out his own,

This is the way Harry Wakefield Of
the Hutchinson Times, bewails his
lack of enemies:-
Pm feeling sad. 1 didn't get a soil.
tary one OF those damnable monstrOsi-
ties that the perverted nature of a fend
inflicts upon folks at whom his lack of
wit precludes his throwing anything
else. Ills said the person who is with
out at least one enemy is of poor clay
indeed, and l want one on that &C
count. The man who sends one of the
things is pretty cheap enemy, but the
spirit IS there, which is better than
nothing.
The trouble with Harry is that he
has been brought up on the milk of
human kindness, and is thus constitu-
tionally disqualified from having enc
mics.

Altogether the cleverest institutional
paper among our exchanges is the
Pioneer, published at the Illinois Re-
formatory at Pontiac. 1t is under the
able editorial management of Mr..
Aaron w. Kellogg, veteran newspa-
per man, and contains weekly large
number of bright contributions from
the boys.
Just now there is war in the camp,
on account of one of the number essay
ing to criticize the style of the other
journalists, and as consequence the
Pioneer contains considerable mum.
Der of warm and pointed remarks by
the various injured parties. One of
them says:

guistical propensity, who is recognized
by the appellatlon of psychologist, pos
sesses amiableness, agreeableness, aud
complaisance in sufficient quantities
he will confer a great favor to the
comps by falling by the wayside.
Others break into poetry to give
vent to their feelings. Altogether the
situation is something like this:

AN EDITORS lie is not always so
pleasant, nor is the path upon
which he treads strewn with
roses. One feature, however, is
pleasant, it is his milk and honey
his exchanges. Every one con-
tains a golden corn of bright
thought, breath of good cheer,
an encouragement for battling
along life's weary ways. We look
for every one of them, and when
one fails to appear, we miss it.

would never continue in the news

Talk about remarkable excuses. just
listen to this:
Last Monday one of our most valued
members was reported for having used
profane language while locked up in
his cell Sunday, and when confronted
with the charge in the office of the
Deputy Warden he told the following:
I'll was sitting in my cell tilted back
with my feet on the bed reading Kip
ling's story "The Naulakha," and had
just got to the place where the hero
enters the Cows Mouth cave in search
of the Naulakha and is scared out by
an aggregation of alligators and stall
fed serpents when something warm and
wet touched my hand which was hang
ing behind me. 1 looked down and
saw an animal. My imagination being
wrought up by the scene 1 had just
read, and not expecting anything of
the kind, was naturally startled. So
much so that 1 tipped over the chair
and fell backward also upsetting the
bed in my fall and causing the mat
tress to come down on top of me.
admit that in the excitement 1 gave
vent to one single damn! which the
guard very kindly snapped up and
reported"

George Washington's birthday was
celebrated yesterday with an entertain
ment in the chapel, at which all the
boys were present. A fine list of en-
tertainers had been engaged by Mr..
Wolfer. They all failed to appear
with the exception of two little Still
water lads, who sang several charming
songs. Our own choir was also pres
ent, having been unable to get away.
In all other respects the entertainment
was an unqualified success. The brew
ity of ceremonies in the chapel, afford
ed additional time for visiting, when
liberty to do so was given; and it's safe
to say that the boys enjoyed that as
much as any entertainment.
The dinner served was of an unusual
ly holiday character.

Here is a story that was sent me
from St. Paul by special correspond
emf: A frog, duck, lamb, and a
polecat started for the circus. When
they arrived, all were able to pay the
admission fee except the poor polecat,
who was thus compelled to crawl I'M

frog had greenback, the duck had a

fury. They then announced that after
century of research they had discov-
cred many important secrets which, if
given to the world, would promote the
happiness of man. A man named
Christian Rosencreutz founded the Or
der about 1850. l once read their con-
tession of faith as published, and it
contained many, for that time, extra
ordinary dogmas, but there is little
doubt that much of it was merely inter-
polated in order to gain immunity from
clerical prosecution.
To the faithful votaries they prom
ised great riches, celestial wisdom, per-
petual youth and exemption from sick
ness; in addition they asserted their
knowledge of the true relation of mind
to matter. They asserted their ability
to cure all diseases through faith and
imagination or mind and professed to
cure the most mortal diseases by a
touch or word. Whether the order
still survives am unable to say, but
many of their doctrines are still being
taught. In fact there seems to be a re-
vival of them under different names
in this country at present.
