 We are indebted to the San Francis co Chronicle for very entertaining lets ter, written by youthful American in Paris to his mother in San Francisco, says the New York Post. If 1t had d title it would be, How to Work tho Newspapers" Its author is the fifteen year-old adventurer the Frisco Kid" who set out to go around the world and shine the shoes of all the princes and potentates who rule over the countries he visits. From Paris came this sug- gestion to Dear mamma: Say, now, here's a chance for youse to make A piece of change for yourself One of youse get the S,-F.i Chronicle with my picture in it and go to the manager of each newspaper and show him my pfc- ture and ask him how much he will give you if you tell him where I am.

 The boy advises his mother to sell his photographs for $2.5O each. He tells. her that the London Express paid him S25 for his story and declares that she can do as well in San Francisco. But he doubts his mothers business sagac- ity. He thinks she does not quite un- derstand the significance of his exploit. He goes on to explain:
 Ut is Novelty. Something out of the ordinary. Something new to the Public. But I don't think youse un- derstand it. I had all kinds of experi. ence in my travels. Every experience in the world, and some in the Ncws Papers So do as ask you. and here is the way to approach the manager. Ask to see the manager If he says what is it? show him my picture in the. chronickle and tell him you are my mother and if he wants to know where I am and whose shoes I shined lately, tell him you know and ask him how, much it is worth to him. Don't you make the Price But let him because you don't know how much it is worth. I wish I was there would show youse how to make piece of change for my self Well the manager may say, S15.00 or he may say he's full up on space. or some thing like that, Then he may say S2O or S25. Then tell him you will come back and let him know. Then you go to the next paper and Do | the same and the one that gives you l the most do business with him. and if he wants my address tell him." This ! Frisco kid had news to send. and surely it was worth whatever his fam | fly might get for it. He sends it in brief postscript: "I didn't shine King

 George Standing lowered the colors of Peter Latham of England in | championship racket match in decisive fashion on the courts of the Racket and Tennis club in New York recently. The score was 15-5, 15-10 and 15-1O. They played for the American cham pionship, as Latham was unwilling to battle for his worlds title on such short notice.
 Although Latham has enjoyed the title of champion racket player of the world for eighteen years, he took his defeat philosophically, with word of explanation to the effect that a man cannot change from court tennis to rackets, or vice versa, and do himself Justice. Latham came to this country
