THEY ATE TURKEY
The Most Important Day to
Topeka NewsbOys.
Civ en- a Free Dinner at Noon by
j. e. Nissley.
EACH BOY GOT A SUIT
Wild Scene When the Clothing
Was Distributed.
"NeWsb0y's Annual Is Also
Published Today.

1t takes all kinds of boys to make up
the newsboy democracy. There are good
boys. bad boys, white boys, black boys.
tough boys Sunday school boys, boys
in ragged clothes and boys neatly dress
ed, and they are all having a good time
today.
The picnic and hallelujah began last
night about o'clock, when a shouting,
laughing aggregation of youthful news
paper sellers damned in front of the
+ Palace clothing store, and fought for
admission to the building, where J. E..
Nissley,. the ''Newsboy's friend" was
distributing free suits of clothes and
winter CAPS
AT noon today, another big crowd of
boys assembled to eat the bountiful
Thanksgiving dinner served at Mr..
Nissley's expense in the vacant store
building, No. 500 Kansas avenue.
1t isn't necessary at this time to tell
about the good work which Mr.. Nissley
is doing; about his constant efforts to
help his boys" which eliminate each
year in the Thanksgiving day festivi-
ties. The prizes which Mr.. Nissley
awards to newsboys at each Thanksgiv
ing time have already been printed in
the State journal.
Jimmy, I'll bet you biff right
square in the eye that 1 get in there
before you do politely remarked
shaggy haired white boy to his next
neighbor, as the crowd of boys pushed
and struggled in front of the clothing
store while waiting for the door to open
last night.
sfPIl get in all right, Soxie, don't you
worry, replied the other boy But I M
afraid FL have to hurt this cop if he
gets in my road he added. as a long
legged policeman buffeted with the
squirming crowd in his efforts to keep
it from going through the plate glass
windows.
"Quit. yo' tearin' my close" ejacula-
ted a chocolate colored lad who wore
faded red cap which could still be
identified the one he received last
Thanksgiving.

piled the accused destroyer. ''you'se
goin' to get some new ones, amt yo2
II doan wan to go in da lookin' like
no ho-boi doan want nobody maxim
fun oh my close"
In the fight for places close to the
door. it happened as might be expected
that the big boys secured places in the
front ranks, and the little boys took
up places in the rear But as it turned
out this move did not win anything for
the big boys, for the order was issued,
"All big boys stand aside and wait for
the little boys to get their short pants

were all given dinner tickets for today,

season for these elevens, is to be played

fall Cornell has nevers beaten the Uni

Quakers have had several narrow
escapes. The boys go into the game
reasonably sure of victory. Their show
ing during the season has been an ex-

more games than in any other year for
ten years.
A special train bearing nearly 500
Cornell students arrived here this morn

McGovern and Young Corbett in Fine
FettIe For Their Fight.

Hartford, Conn. Nov 2S-This place
was crowded today with sporting men
from all parts of the country who had
come to see the McGovern- Young Cor
bett fight.
Both lads met this morning in the
dining room of their hotel. Corbett was
the first to get into the rom, but as
soon as the champion entered he walked
over and shook hands with the western
boy They parted after an exchange of
courtesieS, and ate breakfast as if they
were both looking forward to an outing
rather than a battle for championship
honors.
There was very little betting on the
contest during the early hours of the
day.
McGovern and Corbett, accompanied
by their managers and trainers, went
to the Nutmeg Athletic club shortly
after 10 O'Clock, and each of the con-
testants weighed in under the stipu-
lated 126 pounds.
