THE SMALL NEwsBoY.
He Is the One Person I'm the Busy
World Wko In Yet Content
with Little Profits.

In these days of great business trans
actions, when thousands and millions
and all that sort of thing are common
figures, it is gratifying to find some
body still engaged in small affairs and
content with small gains. Such, for in
stance, are the newsboys, though their
business has very greatly changed in
recent years. With the great growth OF
the city, with the greatly increased
number of people passing any given
point in the business part Of the town,
there are now plenty OF localities where
newsboys simply stand in one spot on
the sidewalk, the exclusive right TO
stand there being held by priority OF
claim. backed by sturdy resolution to
hold ii against all newcomers. Ats
points newsboys sell stack OF papers
daily, and do business worth having
with many regular customers whom
they know by sight and see daily.
The newsboy who stands for hours
at one spot in such busy scenes be-
comes of necessity business man, or
business boy, and he looks it; earnest
thoughtful, attentive to details, re-
membering his customers and what
they want and with an eye always Tor
new customers or iransients. He Is
looking after pennies, and he wants all
he can get of them; but his situation
is very different from that Of the boy
who roams the street with bundle OF
papers under his arm, calling his pa
'pers and looking for customers. lie is
very different still from the new begin
ner, the very small newsboy with very
thin bundle of papers, who has been
sent out perhaps by some bigger news
boy; or who, it may be, with very
small capital of his own, has just EN-
barked in business on his own account.
This is the person more particularly re-
ferred to as engaged in small affairs
and content with small gains.
You may meet him on the outskirts
of some bunch of newsboys in neigh
borhood where newsboys congregate.
and where perhaps papers are received
from the delivery wagons, guerrilla
sent out by the boy that outtitted him,
or on picket there, posted by himself.
He may not have the precise paper anu
the precise edition that you want-for
this is evening-but he says he'll getit
and he tells you to stay where you are
he doesn't want you to advance TO
where you would come within the zone
of influence of the other boys-and he
scoots off after the paper, leaving you
standing there; he simply stops his gen
eral business. You see him a moment
later. as you Loyalty stand and wait,
glancing back at you from where he is,
looking to see that you're waiting all
right while he IS getting that particular
paper from another boy or from the
sidewalk dealer, who. it may be, has
at that moment received his bundle:
and then he comes hurrying back with
it and hands it over and gets his cent.
He has made another sale and an
other profit, and though he keeps cool,
and turns with busnesslike prompt
ness in search Of other customers, yet
he cannot altogether conceal his feel
ing of elation; feeling in which. as
you pass on, you find yourself sharing
in greater or less degree.-N. Y. Sun.
