MORGAN AND THE NEWSBOY
Great Magnate's Deal With Small
Newspaper Merchant.

Great Magnate's Deal With Small
Newspaper Merchant.
While J. P. Morgan was driving
down Nassau street to his Office in a
hired closed cab the other day, says
the New York correspondent Of the
Philadelphia Press, he was recognized
by little newsboy as the cab passed
Liberty street. He darted toward the
cab and, running alongside 1t, shouted
at the top Of his voice: Hi, Mr.. Nor
gan! Coal strike 'extrav" at the same
time fourishing a newspaper in front
OF the cab window.
Either something in the paper at.
tracted Mr.. Morgan's attention or he
was pleased at the lads familiarity
He reached for the paper and threw
the boy a half dollar. The little fellow
picked up the money and, without hes
itating, ran after the cab again and
Jumped on behind.
Before the cab pulled up at Mr.. Nor,
gan's Office the newsboy was already
On the sidewalk waiting for 1t to stop.
As Mr.. Morgan stepped out the urchin
approached him and, holding the
change from the fifty cent piece in his
sutstretched hand, said:
Eyer change, Mr.. Morgan"
"Why, my little man." said Mr.. Nor
gan in some establishment, what is
this for?"
Eyer give me 80 cents fer the paper
yer jist bought, an this is yer change.
SIR" replied the boy.
"Oh, never mind that. Keep the
money, keep it-and take this. There's
a peach cart over there" Here Mr..
Morgan dived into a pocket and flshed
out another fifty cent piece, which he
gave to the urchin, and, clapping him
on the back, turned and walked briskly
into his Office.

Adequate PrOvOcation.

An old Scotswoman had imbibed SO
much of the doctrine that music in
church was sinful that when she came
to this country she refused to sub
scribe to the general sentiment in ia
vor Of choir singing, etc. She scowled
one day in her own church when the
congregation took up an anthem that
was scored rather deliberately and
complained to her pew neighbor of the
foothold the devil was getting even in
the service of GOD. says the Philadel-
phia Times.
But" protested her neighbor, that
anthem is very old and very sacred.
Why, David sang 1t before Saulw

woman, 81 moo for the first time un-

NEARLY MILE IN LENGTH
CONCERTS ON THE HILL

= The park commissioners yesterday de-
cided TO lay cement walk, six feet
wide. along the river front Of Riverside
park from the Murdoch avenue bridge
TO the fountain in the north part Of the
park This walk will wind along the
river, crossing the river at Grinenstein
bridge and following the stream on the
right side VIII terminate at the newsboy
fountain. This action upon the part Of
the commissioners is very cornmendable
indeed and will add greatly to the beauty
and comfort OF the city's recreation
grounds It will be enjoyed especially
by the pleasure seeking pedestrian and
wnl save many a Wichitan from hitching
up the old horse. for it VIII be a real
pleasure TO walk when this Improvement
81 put IN.
The board of commissioners, of which
Mr.. Charles Davidson is president, Mr.
G NJ Dickson secretary and Mr.. Elmer
Reese treasurer, also decided TO have
band concerts on College Hill. previd-
ing the street car company evidences its
agreement 10 this plan in a substantial
form, as 1t has expressed wish TO do
heretofore.
The band stand and other necessaries
will be erected. according TO the com
nnissioners' plans on College Hill Plaza,
she square facing Rutan avenue on the
west and William street on the south.
This beautiful plateau viii hold 1900
OF 5000 people easily and is an ideal
place in every particular. 1t is planned
20 have two to five concerts a month
given on the Hill This was decided
as the people Of the city seek the cool
breezes on the Hill in summer time.
such breezes as you can get nowhere else
In the city. There are no trees or other
prominent structures TO the Kansas
Eephyrs and they come as a blessing in
June. July and August.
Another matter which attracted the at
tention Of the commissioners was one Of
great Importance TO children and not a
few grown persons. It is about putting
a merry go-round in Riverside park. a
letter from the manufacturers was sub
mitted by one of the commissioners which
priced the pleasure machine at $3.50 and
described its mechanism as so delicate
and well made that it could be pushed b.
a babe There is 40 other power to run
it than human and thus all danger Of
accidents is avoided. When a child falls
of it lights in the grass and gets up
laughing. Here is a chance for some
lover Of children or some lover of the
world in Wichita to aid in making the
park goal for every youngster in the
city.
It has been decided to make q spraying
fountain Of the lily ponds. BY running
small water spouts at regular intervals
around inside the basin and having them
open up even with the surface Of the
water. they send dozens Of little streams
toward the center and four or five feet
into the air. This wiz produce a musical
sound as well as a pretty sight. Mr.

Quite a Surprise.

Judge Humphreys created a
pleasaotry and a sensation ye t r.
day from the Circuit Court bench
during the hearing of the we'll
known Kamalo case, ~: was while
Frank Hustace was on the witness
stand aud was being examined,
when Mr.. Magoon objected to o
question saying the witness was not
being examined for admission to the
bar Judge Humphreys at this
drily observed: "Mr. Hustace, il you
be elected to the Legislature, come
to me for a license to practice law"
Laughter broke out from those
present, and which was deemed
quite surprise that the Judge did
not interposs on objection.
In the hearing yesterday the
Court ruled out all testimony as to
the value of the options for services
of the defendants, and held that
only the question of frand was in
volyed.
And yet, another sensation was in
store today when the same matter
again came up Tor hearing this
morning. Mr.. Hankey asked the
Court to withdraw it's charge Of
fraud and made quite speech en-
the subject. Judge Humphreys OBJ
jected to this interference and cslled

time giving him good calling and
