A YOun: Captain of Industry.

The crowds at the station of the
elevated railroad in Herald Square,
New York. are placed under tribute by
newsboy who has an eye to business.
He is 16 years old, and sells newspa-
pers at the foot Of the elevated stair
way. The secret Of the boys rapidly
increasing business is explained by
the New York Evening telegram:
With every paper the boy sells he
offers to the purchaser an elevated
railroad ticket. There Is scarcely a
person who does not see the advan-
tage Of buying his ticket beforehand,
and in consequence the little red slips
are sold just as fast as the papers.
While people crowd about the ticket
sellers window. the exclusive individ-
uals who patronize the little news5oy
hurry by the struggling mass and
board their train in peace and comfort.
To make the arrangement all the
more satisfactory, some of the boys
regular customers pay him at the end
Of each week. and paper and ticket are
received every morning without the
bother Of hunting for change.
The boy has doubled his trade by his
enterprise.

SWELL MOB is LARCENOUS.
Much Pilfering Takes Place at Court
functions in London.

A great deal of scandal is caused in
society circles in London, but as rule
carefully suppressed and seldom refer
red 10 in the newspapers. by the petty
larcenies committed at the court balls
and wingrooms given by the SOW
ereign. These thefts were frequent
during Queen Victoria's reign; they are
being repeated at the receptions given
by King Edward. \ very strange story
is still told about Il diamond necklace
which was found at one of the state
balls some years ago. 1t happened that
one of the late queens ladieS-n- wait
ing picked up diamond necklace from
the floor. AS she stood with it In her
hand a lady came quickly forward and
ella lined It,
The finder was very firm. however,
and declared it was her duty to give 1t
In to the lord chambrelain's office, as
this was the rule with regard to any
thing found in the palace. The lady
protested in vain. but the oldest thing
was that this necklace never was
claimed. and is probably still at the lord
chamberlain's office.
The fact that it was quite common
sight to see ladies stufiing their hand
kerchiefs with sweets and cakes from
the supper tables at the court balls may
be regarded as an amiable foible Of dot
ing parents but, according to some,
lace handkerchiefs and jewels are
waited away in this fashion and some
times fur stoles and lovely opera cloaks
have been secured as spoil.
1t used to be a saying in India at the
big viceregal balls that the first de-

the world except the sky, and it was
almost black. At night the stars
looked through 1t like angry eyes.
Then God sent the spring down into
the world-the spring with red lips
and curling yellow hair.
In his arms he bore sprays Of APP
pie blossoms, and the first flowers
crocus. anemOnes, and violets. red,
pink blue, purple, violet and yellow.
The first animal to greet the spring
was the white rabbit. The spring
dropped red crocus on his head, and
ever since then all white rabbits have
red eyes.
Then the spring dropped blue vio-
let on white bird, the first bird to
greet the spring, and that is the way
the bluebird was made. Ever since
then it is the first bird to arrive when
the spring comes down from heaven.
SO the spring went through the
world. Wherever he tossed the leaves
from his fragrant burden the earth be-
came green. He tossed the blossoms
on the frozen seas and the ice melted
and the fish became painted with all
the tnts of his flowers. That is the
way the trout and the mlnnows and
the salmon became gaudy.
Only the high mountains would not
bow to the spring. SO their SUBMITS
remain white and dead. for they would
let the spring paint only their sides.
The snow owls and the white geese
and the polar bears fled from the
spring so they, too. remain white to
this day.
