Here In this school poor boys have !
just as good chance as rich ones. |
And you ought all of you to be thank
ful that you can be in this school. |
When you compare your condition !
with the boys VINO are not IN school,
the boys who have to work In minos
and factories and shops at your age,
why who are the lucky ones? You!
Il hope that when you leave here
with your diplomas, boys. you will
follow the same sort OF system that
you have here. And then you won't
lose out"
The Garrick Theatre was packed 20
the doors last night by those who
came to see Noodles" the children's
friend. and the act that he presented
was Of Class A variety. His imper-
sonations of a Barnum and Bailey
show talker, where he talked 300
words in a minute, was one Of the
most remarkable things ever heard In
any Of the local theatres. One OF the
most interesting things he did was the
singing of an impromptu song. he
picked out about twenty-five people In
the audience and made up little sallles
as he went along. IL was indeed a
very clever piece OF work. and the
audience gave him such tremendous
hand that he was forced TO bow again
and again. One number pleased I'M

On Noodles last trip he visited
the Sultan Of Turkey. He was ush-
cred in before his Royal Nibs,"
where he just smiled in that old New
York way. The old fellow was so
tickled that he kept Noodles over
an hour telling about the big things
in America.

politeness, and another is to sell
clean papers. always made Il a
rule to sell the top paper first. The
lewsboy that sells the clean sheet is
.sually the one that makes the most
money. I wish every boy In viii
mington could see his way clear to
save a little money out OF each day e
sales, so they could go TO night
school, then. along with their busi-
ness training Of selling papers each
day on the streets. and good habits
they would get mentally equipped Ia
hold a very good position"
Many Of our great men got their
start selling papers. Noodles" com
pletely won the hearts Of the little
fellows, and when he left one little
urchin said:
Noodles is o. X. He don't talk
any slang but the straight from the
shoulder kind He makes us fellows
feel like we've known him all ouI
lives. And when we go to the Gar
rick Friday night the ovation the
boys will give him will make hin
think he is president Of the United
States"
