UNUSUAL PICTURE.

Group otJNanderers Added to Police
K Headquarters Gallery.
AN addition has been made to the
collection Of celebrities whose pic
lures adorn the gallery maintained at
police headquarters. The photograph
is an unusual one and probably rep
resents the largest number of persons
in one group filed for reference in any
police Office of the country.
Friday night a raid was ordered
on the sand house and empty cars
of the Northern Pacific and at it's
conclusion % homeless wanderers had
been gathered in. They were locked
up and Saturday morning arraigned
in police court. Only a few gave evil
dence of being real Migrants and
tramps. The majority appeared to
be unfortunate fellows, down on their
luck" willing to accept honest EN-
ployment if given the chance. These
were discharged, upon their promise
to leave the city at once. The others
were given sentences on the streets
and are now at work under the super
vision of the street commissioner
cleaning the parks and thoroughfares
of their winters accumulation o.
filth and rubbish.
It was after its arraignment that ths
mob was grouped in pyramid form II
the court room and photographed.

FUTURE SUPPLY of MEN.
Real Accomplishments Come From the
Boys in Humble Circumstances.

Toledo Times.
The superintendent of the Chicago
forward movement, which is doing godd
work among the submerged. said in
an address before the women of Chi
cago that the larger per cent. of the
men who are to control the destinies
of the country In the coming years are
to be found in the ranks of the news
boys rathern than among those who
dwell on the boulevards. Those who
| have had much to do with newsboys
know that this likely to be the fact.
They boys who are learning to nus
| tie for themselves are immeasurably
superior to those who are pampered
and humored and carefully guarded and
| favored in the struggle for existence.
The son of rich parents is heavily han
dicapped If he is made to feel that his
folks have money. and that he has ex-
pectations. Shere isn't the same pres
sure to do his best holding over such
lad that there Is over the son of
poorer parents. He doesn't feel that
he has to apply himself to school He
doesn't have to scheme, plan, and con-
trive and deny himself to get anything
that he wants.
Any object or pleasure that may
strike his fancy he can usually buy
for himself or wheedle from his iadul-
gent parents. He has an easy time,
and Is flabby in mental and moral
makeup in consequence. Fiber, char
acter, and endurance that grow out
of effort and self-denial cannot be
bought There is no easy way to get
them. 1t Is as easy to have some
one hired to eat and digest ones food
as 1t is to have ones trials and TENN
tations and labor done by Others.
Most of our captains of industry have
