THE NEW RECRUIT.

In each chubby hand Is tightly grasp
ed the merchants capital--a few
nickles at tn most. Those who want
to do their own trading early fall in
line up the steps waiting to hear the
sound Of the big press revolving that
proclaims that the first edition SIS out"
During the process of falling into line
there are generally half a dozen i'm
promptu fights and much waste of tor
rid language. The members Of the
syndicate see that their representative
Is duly installed In lire with the requis-
tie cold cash After an interval the
other members scatter and post them
selves on likely corners down the street
and await the advent Of the runner
who distributes copies to each mem

is NOT BAD AT HEART.


But the average newsboy is not bad
at heart even II some Of his compan-
ions are at this wrltlng in the reform
school at ogden. There are black sheep
in the banking business just as much
as there are ia the ranks Of the paper
peddlers.
People who canont realize the mental
attitude Of lawyers toward one another
when, after storming fercely across a
courtroom in support Of opposing inter
ests and being is sarcastic as the law
allows, they so arm IN arm to dinner
at club, would be altogether bewllder-
ed If they attempted to understand the
spirit that makes newsboys such close
comrades.
IT is THEIR BUSINESS.
The sale Of newspapers is their busl-
ness, and It Is a trade where speed Of
foot, strength Of lung and mental and
physical activity generally are neces-
sary to success. During the early
morning and late afternoon hours,
when competition is most fierce, they
are compelled TO shove and crowd over
one another to thrust their papers IN
front Of those Of their competitors
and to strive every moment to reach a
given place second sooner than 9TH
ers. OF course, all this means dlsap-
pontments, little bitterness and some
envy.
THE NEWsBoYS' UNION.
That the newsboys are cannlsh goes
without saying. They look with sus-
picion upon any newcomer into their
ranks and for time they did not take
kindly to the four women who for some
years past have pre-empted four OF the
best corners on East Temple street. Re-
Gently they formed a union for mutual
protection into which they admitted the
four women and now the protocol has
been signed This union which has al
lied Itself with the federated trades,
has all the regular officers who are
greatly in evidence especially at the
Thanksgiving dinner and subsequent
free bath and gallery seats at the Thea
ter. The officers consist Of Thomas
Claypool, commonly known in the fra.
ternity as Bridget president; Carl
Larsen, better known as Garlic" vice
president Joseph Thomas, Secretary
joe" secretary; Len Galleizza, alias
"Gilley,' treasurer.

From this little band Of newsboys
may arise some day a statesman, who
knows? There are several professors
In the Institutions Of learning In Utah
today who in early youth used to sell
copies Of the Deseret News on the
streets In the days before Salt Lake
became as metropolitan as she Is to-
day. AT this time the boy who steps
out Of the craft that he has followed
almost since babyhood may not be more
than l6 or II years old when he finds
himself facing the world IN a new ven
ture, but despite his youth. no one may
say that he is not well equipped FOR
the more serious struggles Of life or
that he has not within himself the at.

to make the type OF good citizen,
STRUGGLE AGAINST ODDS.
There is no milestone for sharpening
the wits like struggle against power
ty, save the one that often goes hand
in hand with this same contcst-the
life Of a newsboy on the streets. HUI
man nature becomes an open book 10
him. lie can read people clearly and
has close contact with the seamy as
well as the smooth side Of the daily
lives Of his patrons. He has already
had to overcome many temptations
and been compelled to exercise self
denial during nearly every day of his
boyhood.
THEIR CODE OF HONOR.
OF course. we are rather apt to be
taken aback II we are asked 10 look
at the typical street urchln who ped
dies newspapers as having any large
share OF self-respect but o moments
reflection will show even to the least
observant that he can with justice lay
claims to this, No matter how close TO
starvation he may be, how near TO
perishing from the cold or how much
in danger Of going without a place to
rest his head. with but few exceptions,
he never by any chance takes adyan-
tage Of the generosity Of the people
he sees on the streets to beg from
them. There is no poorer element seen
on our downtown streets than the
newsboy and certainly none that lives
80 much from hand to mouth, but, not
wlthstandlng, how many Of the people
who read this have ever been APP
preached by a newsboy and asked for
aims?
