An application was made at the West
London police court by an officer Of the
Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals for a summons in respect of an
alleged act of cruelty to a monkey at a
side show In Earl's court exhibition. 1t was
stated that the monkey received two blows
on the head with the hand

Wishing hastily to improvise q tennis
court on the lawn. and having no white
wash with which to mark 1t out, a Mt. Airy
family the other day hit upon a novel ex-
pedient which was followed by rather curl
GUS results. A lot Of white heavy wooden
yarn was procured. and this was fastened
down by driving hairpins into the earth.
This answered the purpose, and the game
proceeded. When the players returned to
the lawn after luncheon. they discovered
that the yarn had been pulled up and was

THE NEWSROY,

THE NEWSBOY.
ritten for TIE Evening Star by W. H. Myer
ARMY hands and sunburnt face
TIrned-up nose and quick of pace,
Noisy, squeaky, shrfll-toned cry,
Buy paper? Won't you buy?
All the news from far and widet
Great sensation; suicide:
Social chat; an empires fall;
Paper, paper! News for all.
Passersby look on with scorn
At his faded clothes, all torn.
Bluff him Off when asked to buy,
Stop their ears Mt his shrill cry.
But the lad on business bent
Falters not at their resent.
Still looks up with saucy eye,
Calls out. Buy paper, buy?"
What a tale that boy could tell
OF his trips his wares to sell,
AS he travels on his rounds.
And his sGueaky voice resoundS.
Stranger, do not treat him i'll;
You can help him IL you will.
Though you may no paper buy,
Don't despise his CHEEKY cry.
Some day, not upon the street,
You that sunburnt face may meet;
See those grimy hands again,
Hear no more that shrill refrain.
He may stand close by your side,
In that realm unknown to pride.
He may high above you soar,
Have a newsboy's voice no more.
Then beware. and treat him we'll,
As to you he tries to sell
Tire him well; he'll ne'er forget
Any little kindness met.
Grimy, sunburnt face and hands,
On the corner there he stands.
Don't despise his CHEEKY cry,
Buy paper? Won't you buy?

Some Verses.
In BAT LAND.

By Charlotte Marion Bush.
good little bat, when the day Is nigh,
Flies home to his snug little bed;
AS soon the is up in the sky
No bat should be seen overhead.
They sleep all day, tucked out of the way,
And what seems the strangest Of all,
Their heads hang down where their tails ought to be
And they cling by their toes to the wall.
When the sun has set and the birds at rest,
And the moon and the stars high,
Then each little bat pops out of his nest
And goes for sail through the sky.
How topsy-turvy their life must bel
They breakfast at pm;
And just at dawn they ready for tea
But 1t doesn't seem queer to them.

HANDSHAkING.

A story comes from Iowa to the eff
feet that we'll known politician OF
that state has lost hand as result of
friendly handshake. The grip was In
aicted by a friend. and II was so cor
dial, so sincere that some Of the small
bones Of the hand were injured. After
wards a cancerous growth formed, and
It became necessary to amputate the
hand.
We do not know whether the man
who inflicted the injury was an eager
ohlce-seeker, an exceptionally warm
hearted friend or simply common fool
OF well known type, but the story
may serve as warning that too fer
vent expression in that way Of JOY at
meeting friends may be dangerous.
Some think It is time TO do away with
the Handwriting business entirely, and
substitute the reyerential kiss Of by
gone ages. but this, too, has It's serious
objections. To adopt the nose-rubblug
custom of some Of the Pacific islanders,
has not as yet been suggested.
The thousands Of visitors that now
throng our city VIII meet many warm
friends. They win have to risk the
dangers Of Misunderstanding repeatedly.
II is to be hoped that no serious accl-
dents may result from it, whatever the
facts may be in the awful story Of the

gued that the purchaser represented

ordinary mind that when the law is
violated In spirit, the rules OF jurispru-
dence might be enforced in the public
interest rather than be strained for the
benefit Of the offender
1t should be oberved that the purpose
Of the ordinance Is not only to prevent

10 prevent their being allowed to enter

are sold. Perhaps the complaint In the

complete In not covering the whole
ground. But that may be remedied
By charge OF permitting the minor TO

Public sentiment Is dead against the
outsom OF serving intoxlcants TO per-
sons under age, no matter what excuse
or pretext may be offered in its favor
II il Is determined that the ordinance
needs still further amendment,it should
be made sufficiently broad and explicit
to entirely meet the evil complained
OF, so that no Judge can make any mis-
take concerning its application, and
that no dealer in iutoxicants can es-
cape the consequences Of wilful infrac-

ZIONIsM IN KANSAS.

According to an item IN the Kansas
city World, great interest is shown
among the Hebrews Of that city in
the Jewish movement generally known
as zonism. Leon zolotkoff Of Chicago.
q leader In that movement, recently
gave a lecture there on "The Resurrec-
ton of Israeli He told In detail OF
the progress made In the effort at re-
deemng Palestine, and stated that the
object was 10 accomplish this, not by
conquest, but by peaceful purchase.
To this end n trust OF $40, 900 900. known
as the Jewish colonial trust, has been
established In London and funds are
being constantly secured. There are
about 5000 Zionist organizations in the
world, with headquarters in Vienna,
Austria. "The Zionlsts do not propose
TO gather all the Jews Of the world into
Palestine said Mr.. zolotkoff "ZIon.
ism proposes 10 establish a legal and
assured home for the Jewish people on
their ancestral soil for those who are
In need Of n home and prefer to live
among their own"

about the practlcability OF the plans Of
the zlonlsts but the fact Is that Jews
ere constantly gathering TO Palestine
and have done So ever since the coun,

accounts it Is learned that there are
now in all probability $4,000 Jews in

perhaps $4,000, And still they come,
Their influx Is so great that they can
rot find suitable habitations. Some
construct houses out OF packing boxes.
Others burrow under ground to obtain
shelter. In the entire country there Is
now said to be 10000 Jews, as com
pared to perhaps 10000 fifty years ago.
The country Is being cultivated. Vine
