THE HAT AND THE WEARER.
After Being Worn the Headgear Looks
Like It's Owner.

Did you ever notice. said the observant
man to a Star reporter, how IL Is that
after a person has been wearing hat for
some time that the headgear TAKES on the
likeness of its wearer?"
The reporter had not noticed anything
OF that particular character and SO assured
his questioner.
well, it's So" said the gentleman. "a
hat that has been on duty on mans
head for any length of time looks like its
owner. 1t needn't be old, rusty OF ragged,
but if it has done half seasons duty 1t
takes on the appearance of the party who
wears it and If you know the man well
you can see his phiz, in imagination, in
his hat a it hangs on rack. Even though
YOU may never have seen the man wear
ing it you can recognize his feature in his
hat and properly infer that he is some
where on the premises.
TRY 1t now he said, land after little
you will be able to say when you see
hat though you have never seen 1t on
the head of the man who wears 1t. you
Will see its resemblance to the head of the
party it belongs to. The old doctor s
hat for instance. has quiet. earnest style
about it and up in your vision comes the
doctor Same way with the lawyer and
the preacher and any man who treats his
hat as his friend
Make an observation of this now and
when found make a note Of it, he said In
conclusion.

and having earned the first year by hard
study 1t Is stated to be a rare thing that a
boy ever falls out Of his classes.
Each boy who sells papers in Boston and
who is member of the union must wear a
button to show that the boys Of the union
have paid up their dues. The color Of this
button is changed each month.
No Member Under Thirteen.
The dues of the union are fixed at five
cents a month. No boy Is allowed to enter
the union under thirteen years of age. But
the union does not desire to hinder the
work Of boys animated by desire to make
a living for those at home who are unable
to labor.
President Eliot of Harvard and former
Gov Douglas Of Massachusetts have always
taken lively interest in the newsboys of
Boston as has Mayor Patrick Collins, and
these gentlemen have on more than one
occasion addressed the "newsies."
President Eliot. 1t is stated. in one of his
addresses to the members of Newsboys
Union said: IAN almost sure way to sue
coed in most labors Is to be ready to vol
unteer to do something beyond ones real
duty. Hard work has made nations great.
In an individual 1t is the same. What's
good for the nation is good for every one in
1t. and what's good for every one is good
for the nation. Work is the foundation of
all the Joy and happiness in the world. A
spice of danger and an element of chance
adds interest to work."
During the life fthe Newsboys' Union.
William Jennings Bryan and Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Federation
Of Labor. have made addresses to the boys.
The delegates who have come to this city
came at the expense of the union, and as
both are enterprising young men it is con-
sidered more than probable that their cause
will be well presented.

BEssIE's QUESTION.

Were Going to Rockville.

were Go1ng to Rockville.
Little Bessie ]. of East Washington, not
withstanding she is just four years of age,
is a very observant young lady When
there Is anything going on she is always
attentive if 1t is anywhere near her, and
always an intent listener. Added to that
she has rather retentive memory.
Two or three evenings ago. just before
her bedtime and while she was undressing
her doll preparatory to putting 1t to rest,
she heard her father and mother talking
about the neighboring city of Rockville
Dear old town." said her mother. II
have not visited there for a-great many
years, although some of the happiest visits
ever made in my girlhood days were right
in that city"

anxious to put their heads in a matrimonial
moose. Lots Of young folks are making
trips there in these days"
Then little Bessie broke in with ques-
ton. what do people go to Rockville for,
papa?" she inquired.
principally to get married. my DEAR"
her father jocularly answered her.
The upshot of this little talk was that the
elders concluded a few days after they
had been speaking of their desire to revisit
the place to make a journey thitherward
and see what changes had been made since
they last saw 1t.
When the day for the trip came and her
parents were preparing to start on their
journey the little girl was very thoughtful.
Where are you. going. mammal" she
Queried.
your father and 1 are just going to
Rockville for a day. she was informed.
I'VE will be back tonight"
Bessie recolected every word of the pre-
yious conyersat ton. Are you and papa
going to Rockville to get married. mamma 2"
she nnocently inquired
1t was rather difficult to reply to the
childs question, but the recital of the in
cident has caused much amusement to the
friends of the very happily married pair.

Of the American Federation of Labor. This
is why their two delegates, Simon Rubino
witch and Nathan S. Sodekson, are allowed
to appear before the executive committee
and explain the grievances which their
union desires to file against the Transfers
Union of Boston.
They appeared yesterday 5efore the ex-
cutive committee, and had another hearing
this afternoon, when they were success
full in their contentious. In speak
ing Of the newsboys' union yesterday So
DICKSON said that in the city of Boston there
are many men making a living selling the
daily papers: He commented particularly
upon the fact that in Boston a newsboy can
earn anywhere from IS to $35 per week. He
added that many of the newsboys of Boston
are married and support families from their
daily earnings on the streets.
Captains of Industry Assist.
The leaders of commerce in that city, ac-
cording to Sodekson. are the men at the
head of the movement to aid the newsboys
in their every effort. The delegates also
stated that Gen. C. Fl. Taylor, a prominent
business man Of Boston. is the chairman
of the educational board, and that he is
doing great work to encourage the boys
in their work and in helping each other.
1t was pointed out that within the past
few years the newsboys have raised fund
of $4,000. which being invested with the
Harvard corporation has earned enough
money each year to allow one Of the news
boys of Boston to have free scholarship
in Harvard. This. the delegates say. has
caused healthy desire to spring up in the
hearts of many of the newsbOys to make
their way through the high schools in the
effort to reach the higher education which
is made possible for them.
To determine who is to go to Harvard
each year competitive examination is
held. After the first year the successful
