THE RIGHTS OF A NEwsBoY
Notable Instance Of Judicial Consider
ateness Displayed in the Denver
Juvenile Court.

1t is good to know that all legal pro
ceedings are not Of the "Jarndyce
versus Jarndyce" type, bound to inefi.
cheney by yards of red tape, but that
the ear of the law can stoop to hear
the claims Of child, and the arm OF
the law protect with ready directness
the interests of a little street boy.
The report of the iuvepile court of
Denver, Col, gives an instance that
is worth quoting.
One day in a busy civil session Of
the court, which was trying a will case
involving 100000, the courtroom
door opened and a boy poked in a
tousled head and freckled face. The
court officer '..shooed' him out, but he
returned secure in the knowledge of
his rights there.
The judge ordered recess of three
minutes, to the disgust of some of the
distinguished council, and the boy
came to the bench.
He was a newsboy. He said that he
was having trouble; that for two years
policeman on the beat had let him
sell papers on a certain corner, and
now as he expressed it, "a fly guy
had taken his place, and because he
was new cop, he thought he owned
the town." and had ordered the boy
off the favorite corner, thereby max.
ing him lose so cents a day.
The judge did a remarkable and un
usual thing. Considering taat the boy
had a case as important IS the one
before the bar concerning Che millions
that dead man had left behind foI
surviving selfishness, he held up al
proceedings while justice was done tC
the little chap of the streets.
There is often a rich kernel of right
in little thing. A principle Of justice
is 10 bigger when it applies to rict
peoples money than when it concerns
poor boys pennies. Injustice might
have driven the boy out of homes
business. 1t might have impressed in
delibly upon him a resentment esains
the law and a contempt for it. Tha

a character eccentric, she's eccentric
If you mean, however, the eccentricity

a secret, snyway, 10 some extent, but
Stella never knew. She only knows
that they were together a great deal,

"Of course" sad Detective Lamm,
significantly.
"And So" Thomas continued, IT laid

Perseverance.

You all remember the little rhyme
that you we're taught almost as soon
rs the alphabet, "If at FIRST you don't
succeed, try, try, again" The lesson
in this bit of homely verse is one for
you and me. Beginnings are easy
enough; we start out with a fair wind
and a flowing sail, and our boat goes
dancing over the waves, but the true
test comes when we have to row
against wind and tide, or to manage
our course when the storms beat and
the winds rave. To drop the metaphor,
most of us enjoy taking the initiative
with a new study or a new enterprise.
Our commencement Is with enthusi-
asm, but presently we reach irregular
verbs, or abstruse problems. and our
ardor dampens. Very likely some Of
you could show, II you chose, beautiful
pieces Of embroidery and knitting on
which you have made a fair start
The place that tires one and tries ones
mettle is in the middle of the road, or
the middle of the task Those who
begin we'll, keep on well, and finish
well, gain the laurels and wear them
with honor.
Perseverance tells on your monthly
or quarterly reports as examinations
never do. The real test Of ability In
any line is just here; Is the student
easily daunted or does she hold fast
with an iron grip until she has ac-
lomplished what she undertakes?
AS our favorite LOngfellow sings:
Let as, then. be up and doing.
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.
The twin sister Of perseverance is
Patience. You remember, do you not

BY MARGARET y SANGsTER.
Copyright, 1905, by Joseph b. Bowles.)
One evening last autumn l had the
pleasure Of being a guest in a great
school for girls. The school building
which is ample and beautiful, stands
on hilltop and all around it are acres
Of garden and meadow, with a lake
where the girls row In summer and
skate in winter; trees under which
they walk and every beautiful condi-
ton that can make the surroundings
ideal. Within, the accommodations
match the fair outside, and have
rarely seen anything more beautiful
than the assemblage Of those girls In
chapel at their vesper service. To me
the hour liked best was one at the
close Of the day, when sat in the
middle of crowd of girls, few seat
ed on chairs and sofas, but most on
the floor. a throng Of bright faces,
eager and responsive, that I shall
never forget.
Looking at those winsome school
girls, 1 seemed to see beyond them a
much larger throng. girls whom l meet
every week, although do not actu-
ally touch their hands, nor hear their
voices. To this great company of girls
who shall presently be the young
women of the future, l have a little
sermon to preach to-day. The old
fashioned way was to divide sermons
under three heads. ! am taking this
way, and my first head is
Pluck.
Unless a girl has pluck, she will find
herself many a time at odds with life.
It requires pluck Of no mean order to
sit in dentists chair and endure the
agony known as treating a tooth. It
requires pluck to go with a little sis
ter or brother to this same friendly
adjunct of the family, and sit by while
| the little victim has teeth Strengthened
or a tooth removed. Pluck is far more
necessary when the difficulty is not
merely physical, but is moral and calls
for the kind of courage that makes one
bear reproof patiently, or speak the
truth when to do so may make one un
popular. Without real, genuine pluck
few of us can get through the days
work with credit. Sometimes pluck
is needful when one has to wear much
mended gloves or a shabby gown. Of
when one faces the fact that she can
not have the luxuries that are a!
common as air and water in the ex
perience of her neighbor. Pluck is mo-
given to us all at birth. Some of u!
are naturally great towards. w,
shrink from pain and trouble of ever!
variety, and want cushioned seat TO
every Journey. Fortunately, plucl
may be acquired. If we have not yer!
much to begin with We may easil!
get more by the simple method of cul
tivating what we have l would havD
my girls brave and fearless, feelin,
perfectly sure Of their ground, IL the!
are in the right, and dreading nothing
except being in the wrong.

Mexico Missouri message., 1906-03-29
Punetuality.

OF the three P's, punctuality is prob
ably the most important, because, you
see. II you are not punetual. you are a
thief. It is q dreadful thing 10 be a
thief Hosts OF people who would not
