NEwsBoY's HONESTY.
Restores Pocketbook and Valuable Con-
tents to Their Owner.


As Johnny Nolan. nine-y ear-old news
boy, was on his rounds in the northeast sec
ton Monday afternoon selling his Stars he
spied pocketbook In the roadway, about
ten or twelve feet from the curb. 1t was
old and pretty well battered and probably
had been seen by others who did not deign
to go out Of their course even SO short a
distance for such a measly looking object.
Almost any one would suppose 1t had been
thrown there because 1t was Of no further
use to its owner. Little Johnny's curiosity,
however. caused him to pick 1t up, and
when ne opened it and saw some Of its con-
tents 1t made his heart leap and his eyes
bulge. He FASTENED home to tell his
mother Of his good luck. The mother open
ed the pocketbook and found 1t contained
$255 In cash and checks and some papers.
There was also card giving the owners
name and address.
Johnny and his mother sought out the ad-
dress given on the card and, inQuiring for
the name thereon, asked the lady who an
swered to the name, and whose appearance
indicated that she was far from being pow
erty stricken. II she had lost a pOcketbook
This was the first intimation she had of
her loss. and she became very much agi-
tated but after awhile she made 1t plain to
Johnny and his mother that she was the
owner of the battered pocketbook. and
Johnny's mother turned IT over to her. She
told Johnny to wait awhile and she would
give him quarter
II that's all you are going to give me for
nnding all that money, you can keep It"
said johnny
After consulting for awhile with her hus-
Dand, the owner of the pocketbook came to
the conclusion that such honesty deserved
peter recompense, and she gave the news
boy one dollar.

are making much complaint of the depre-
dations of the fishing steamers catching
menhaden and other fish for the guano fac

catch edible fish for market state that the
fishing boats, fitted out with the latest ap-

species OF fish for the factories, but good
and bad alike are taken to the Factories
and ground up into fertilizer. AS a conse-
quence there has been a great falling or
in the catch of edible fish this season
There Is some talk of bringing the matter
