China will leave Japan far behind frem

In short, more merchants and less ped

the natural resources of their immense

TO the foreground as childish appeal
for patronage. 1t is good card. and
even men and women who believe II Is
all play cannot always resist the
promptings of their sympathy. Such
women move from place to place. They
are ON one street corner to-day, another
tomorrow, and somewhere else the
next day. They do not work for regu-
lar customers-that is, those who bor-
row babies for the occasion.
There are few women who are in
the trade as business. They are out
early and late, always, ,on hand for the
first issue of the Extra" and they
push themselves forward quite as ac-
lively as the newsboys hustle. Such
women do not resort to subterfuge.

WOMEN WHO SELL PAPERS.
Comparatively Few of the Sex in the
Business in ChicaUo

Com mparativeiy Few of the Sex in the
Business in Chicago.
There are not many women I'm Chi
cago who follow the business of selling
newspapers on the street, but those who
do are not lacking in persistency, SAYS
the Chronicle. They have several ad-
yantages over boys. one being their
sex and age, which appeal to buyers of
papers; another is commotion on the
street does not divert them from their
calling. Their memory of faces is re-
markabie. When a man buys a paper
twice of woman he Is looked upon MS
regular customer, and If he does not
keep 1t up from day to day she puts on
the look of one who Is injured. This
little trick works well. Not few men
VIII make 1t point to defer purchas-
Ing until they reach her street corner.
Not few men regard the patronizlng
Of such persons as a sort of charity and
that makes them like to put themselves
out little to do II. All these charac-
teristics of men the woman vender of
newspapers understands, and with ev-
cry sale there goes with the paper n
look and smile which make the buyer
teel In his soul that he is amelioratinp
the condition of the poor and he comes
again.
Nearly all women street venders of
newspapers in Chicago are consider
ably past middle age, and their make
up Is one Of gcnteel poverty-of 81 have

Ing the day spend an hour or two In the
later afternoon and early evening sell
Ing papers, because they need the recre
ltion and air, besides they make a lit
tie money out of 1t, which is a great
help TO them in meeting expenses.
There are few newspaper sellers
who fetch child with them TO the
street, which serves as manufacturer
Of sympathy. The child may belong to
the woman who has it, and IL NAV he
borrowed for the occasion. The latter
becomes pretty self-evident fact when
the child does not always put In its
appearance, and especially so when the
child bears no likeness of the woman
and they act one toward the other as IL
there was no bond of relationship exist
Ing between them. The child's part In
the play for sympathy and trade is n
conspicuous one. If 1t Is not too large

sex. They rely upon their push, en-
ergy and perhaps love of the excite
ment. Anyway. they go about 1t like
merchant who knows his goods have
merit and that 1t is his business to
proclaim that fact far and near.
There are few quite old women in
the business of selling newspapers on
the street, and their age and feebleness
obllge them to have regular place to
sit down. They have regular customers
who buy Of them out of honest sym
pathy because 1t is their chief If not

ever is change asked when n nickel is

there are no young women in the bust
ness of selling newspapers ON the

Stephenson and Captain Phelps on

The thought of founding an associa-
ton that would preserve the friend
ships and memories of their common
trials and dangers among the men who
fought for the Union during the Civil
War was conceived by the Rev. Will
lam j. Rutledge, of Petersburg, Ill.,,
who, during the war, was chaplain of
the Fourteenth Illinois Infantry. Chap
lain Rutledge was the terminate and
intimate friend of DR.. b. +. Stephenson
after the latter Joined the Fourteenth
Regiment in 1862. To him he suggest
ed his idea, and they agreed to work to-
gether for the purpose of organizing
such an association after the close of
the war.
After peace had been restored both

1866, met, by appointment, in Spring

tended to found. DR.. Stephenson had
prepared such draft and consulted
many former officers of the Union army

The ritual was finally adopted and
printed in the office of the Decatur, ILL.,.

The first national encampment. in
which the national organization of the
Grand Army of the Republic was per-
fected, was held at Indianapolis, Ind.
