would not have been a full tedged

any rate, and that was where he sold
"papes." Some people who got their
start yelling 'UXtry"' do not want the
fact mentioned now that they have be-
come judges and things like that. but
others just as high up in the world
are not SO particular. Abe Lincoln
never concealed the fact that he split
rails and clerked in a store. Nor is it
related that Garfield was ever ashamed
of having driven mules on a towpath.
Mark Twain never made any bones OF
telling that he had been a printers
devil and cub pilot. 1t is not related
that Bobbie Burns ever denied having
been a plowman, that AeSop ever tried
to crawl out of having been slave or
that the Man of Nazareth ever sought

New York has over $500 newsies.
They are of all nationalities, sizes and

of the sacred privileges of boyhood.
Some of the deeper shades of dirt

bath that reconciles them. And then
they have a chance to douse each other

"Pomp was right about it's starting up

Monday morning 300 stalwart ne
groes filed away from the Belknap
plantation toward the new railroad
where work was to begin. But it was
not until the work was completed and
all the gloom gone from Colonel Bel

Pomp by himself and collared him.
"Now, you young rascal" he said,

graduated into driving paper wagons
or some similar occupation. The ur-
chins for the most part, draw out their
earnings to spend them on the gal
leries at the Bowery theaters, at
Coney Island or at 'crap shooting"
There are about $50 boys in the home
st one time. Only those are lodged
that have no homes of their own.
One of the things that make the place
attractive to the lads is the gymna
SUM. Here are all the usual athletic
paraphernalia, bars, clubs and the like.
The sport that is liked best by the
gamins, however, is boxing. Those who
don the gloves have to carry out the
game according to rules, as the idea Of
square DEAF in sport is quite we'll
developed among these small Ameri
cans. 1t would be imagined that they
have enough fighting on the streets
without resorting to prize fights, but
their lifs is such a struggle that it de-
velops that side of their nature to the
full.
however, is the Christmas dinner. The
boys themselves assist in preparing this
feast. In leisure hours they pare pota-
toes, turnips, onions and what not, help
set the other vegetables ready and
generally make themselves useful.
They regard it as their affair and there
fore take a pride in performing what
otherwise would be irksome tasks.
They enter into these duties with the
same spirit that they would display at
game of craps or a fight.
There are about 600 urchins fed in
/ the home each Christmas, and it is safe
to say that no feast in the land is more
enjoyed. Table etiquette may not be
highly developed, knives, forks and

sible that the boys ''swipe" what they
cannot eat, but at any rate they are
enthusiastic. They may reach for ey-

Joints of turkey in both hands, throw
bones at the small diners across the
room and use their well developed
lungs in manner that starts the bolts

indicate that they are having the time
of their lives. 1t is related that on one

feast, however, and they religiously

The First Scapegoat,

The word ''scapegoat'' originated In
an ancient Hebrew custom practiced
at the feast of the Passover. Placing
young goat upon the altar, the priests
would pray over it, asking that all the
sins Of the people be visited upon the
goat. Then, after each member Of the
tribe had transferred his guilt to the
victim by laying on his hands, the an
lmal was turned loose In the forests to
be devoured by the wild beasts.

MORE BAD FAITH.
Insurance Superintendent vandiveP
Charges New York Life with Com
tinuing Former Methods.

Jefferson City, NO., Feb. Estate
Superintendent Of Insurance YRndiver
Wednesday night made public q letter
he sent to the general solicitor Of the
New York Life Insurance company in
which he charges that the action Of
the company in allowing Its agents to
solicit, on wholesale scale, proxies
for use in the election Of a board of
trustees, is an act Of bad faith. The
letter In part follows:
"The printed form Of proxy. which
policyholders are asked to sign, Is In
the name of John Clafin.- o. s.
Strauss and G. H. Mackay-alI three
members OF the board Of trustees, un-
der whose management, or lack Of
management, the gross extravaganza,
graft and other forms Of Illegal dis
bursements grew to scandalous proper
lions. Now. they ask policyholders
to give them proxies to re-elect them
selves.
Felhdps your army OF agents may
collect proxies enough to do this, but
in my judgement, It IL an act Of bad
faith on the part Of the company and
renders 1t difhcult, II not impossible
for any except those in control Of the
machinery OF the company to exert
any appreciabls influence in its man
"It may not be in my power to pre-
vent the contamination Of this scheme,
but feel my duty to protest against
It and to let the policy holders Of MIS-
soun know that the theory Of mutual
control Of the New York Life is farce
% long as the present methods are
IN vogue"

MissOuri's Governor Addressed the
Banquet Of the Kansas Demo-
cratic Club ut Topeka.

Topeka Kan.,. Feb. 23.-The meet
ing of the state democratic COMMITTEES
here Thursday fixing the date Of tho
state convention for April rs, at To
peka, was followed by the annual
Washington birthday banquet Of the
Kansas Democratic club at the Hotel
Thropp. The rush for this was so
great that over 300 democrats applying
for tickets were unable to obtain ad-
mission. David M. Dale of Wichita
was POSTMASTER and the feature of
the evening was the address by Cover
nor Jos. w. Folk of Missouri.
The governor said in part:
"A political revival is going on >all
over the land today on the subject of
graft. The people of Philadelphia,
Cincinnati of Pennsylvania and Ohio
have been fighting to regain the gov
eminent they had lost The people are
beginning to awaken to the realization
of the fact that the government of
city, state and nation belongs to them
and they can take the government
into their own hands whenever they
wish. This is the idea true democracy
stands for-the rule of the people.
THE moral awakening that is now
sweeping over the country is simply
the patriotism that comes from the
hearts Of the people, determination
to stamp out the things that Cypress
in public life-a firm resolve that gov
eminent shall be representative of
the good, not OF the bad"

and the executive boards of hard coal

city Friday night to consider the de-
mands the anthracite miners are to
make to the committee Of operators
appointed at the recent conference In

day. 1t was intended that President
Mitchell should at once notify the op
orators that meeting with them was
desired. His action, therefore, in first
ealing meeting Of the scale COM
mittee to consider the propositions,
has given rise to reports that the
miners demands are such as to make
the situation grave one.
The meeting of the scale committee |
lasted until nearly midnight 1t was
stated that the full committee endorsed
the demands of the miners committee |
Of seven and It was declared that the |

San Francisco, Feb 24,-Archdea.
con W. W. Jeffries, an Episcopalian
minister, who has just returned from
the Orient, says that the Koreans are
being greatly oppressed by the victorl-
GUS Japanese.
When Korean objects to the
confscation Of his property" the min
lister says, "he is falsely charged with
being a spy, and is probably shot or
hanged the same day"
The executions in some cases, DR..
Jeffries says, are Of a horrible nature
and he has brought with him a num-
Der Of photographs to prove the truth
OF his assertions. He says that even
women are not immune, and that IL
is no uncommon sight to see them
suspended by the neck on one of the
streets Of Korean city. The bodies,
he says, are allowed to hang In the
streets for days as a warning to the
inhabitants.
