vorite sport these days of some OF
the boys who sell papers.
There are about a dozen newsies
who board the cars at q certain
corner and during their odd mo-
ments between editions they in
dulge in their games. They have
raided a few blacksmith shops and
have pegs set for two games.
Some of the horse shoes are near
ly as big as the boys who pitch
them.
There still are some American
fathers and mothers who believe
that gentlemen friends calling on
their daughters should leave for
home at 10 p. m.

this old-fashioned idea, and all the
arguments Of her daughter failed
to change her view.
