Has Backing Box With History.
 Buddy faced, bright eyed. intelligent looking. there blew into Bisbee onI Thursday night youth oi gouite2n who has had an experience thus early in life. which in it's travels is vouc.- safed to but few of those who have lived to the age of maturity. He is known as Tenny, the Globe rro.ter.
 Tenny is a well built. healtav look ing youth. with glowing cheeks. a.-d big. intelligent looking eyes. fuli of sympathy and expression, and a 0oy one would be attracted to at once. Tenny was brought up in the not ovd-elevatirg influences and sur l roundings of Van Buren and State and Clark streets in Chicago, where they can graduate the toughest lot of newsboys anc bootblacks on the face of the earth
 Tenny was born of German parents in this country, but they went back to- Der Faderland" and left Tenny to hustle for himself. TeGny has done that. and engaged in tha 5ootblacking business on his own account, and has met with considerable success He, 1 however. early conceived the idea of looking over the world, and the fact that he die not have the necessary to exchange for a railway ticket, or to purchase a bunk" in MT. Puliman's sleeping cars did not worry Tenny very much. When he wanted to go, he simply went. The blind end" of a baggage or express car. or the soft side of the rods underneath the cars were just as good to Tenny. and sery- ed the purpose of giving him a lift" alongthe road as though he had had all the luxuries of travel
 Last year Tenny decided that his arduous duties had earned for him s. continental trip, so he made his way to New York, where he boarded a Hamburg-American liner, and careful ly slowing himself away tween decks" until safely out to sea. he mace his presence aboard the the vessel known. and of course he was put to work by the skipper" working ms passage. He visited his parents home In Germany. went down to France, and then shaking the dust of the Kais- CTS domain. slowed himself away | again on a returning French steamer | and was landed in New York His | old haunts in Chicago attracted him, | and soon de bloody ate'' knew Ten | ny was there again. The thirst and hunger to know more of the world | was there still, however, and Tenny was of for Butte and Helena, Mon- tana. Teany took in the various large cities en route, however, earn. iEg his meals with his blacking brush | as he went along. From Butte he | worked his way on the friendly freights" as they came along. to Fris- co. where he spent some time and | then south to Los Angeles, and then east again to Chicago.
 The Western fever caught the young traveller once more, and another trip to the Pacific Coast was projected. i where he avoided the cold wind of the city on the Lakes, and "Tenny. the globe trootter." is thus far on his way to Saint Louis, where he is to enter for the newsboys' and bootblacks' prize of s2O0.
 Tenny has the most unique blacking box to be seen anywhere. It was built in Silver City. New Mexico. As he visits each city, he has fastened on | with brass headed Jacks, all sorts of queer mementos, in the shape of sa- | loon and trade checks of various Kinds, and rare pieces of low value coins, such as the German pfennigs. British ha'pennies, Mexican anc Can adlan cents, and traue checks for every conceivable thing you can think or Tenny is an exceedingly prepos- | sessing youngster, and if he receives the slightest attention in the right Gf- rect1on will make a bright business man. He called at the Review office, saowing that He rpprep0ates the power of the press to boost him along" and evidently he is a shrewd, calculating youth, for he said: "ll came to this paper, because hear 1, Is the morning paper and has the cir culation, and won't go near any oth- er.' Tenny is strongly onto his j6b. This globe-trotting youth leaves Bis bee Sunday morning, provided ,de con" don't see him get on.
