from childhood and were yet. They
had had no trouble on Monday morn
ing or at any other time. He said they
had frequently had friendly scuffies
and had one then. He said he saw no

NEWSBOYS' NIGHT-Last night
was newsboys' night at East Lake park
and today and henceforth as long as
the Curtiss people remain in the city
every newsboy and carrier in the city
will be pulling for them. 1t was a nice
thing on the part of the Curtiss COM
pany to think of the newsboys and give
special performance for them. They
did more than that. They made the
boys the guests of the company from
the time they left home in the evening
until they returned late at night. They
did not allow them to straggle to the
park as best they could. but they had
Il car especially provided for them, the
car which carried the company's band
Ii left the opera house at s o'clock and
took with it every newsboy and carrier
in the city. about twenty-five in all.
The best part OF the outing was yet to
come. There was THE Kentucky Girl
yet to be seen and the boys all said that
she was the loVelest girl in town. The
house was crowded by the general pub
lie, and Mr.. Curtiss said he wanted TO
congratulate the neWsbOyS OF Phoenix
on their behavior during the perform
ance, which was hat of little gentle
men.
