to be donated to cities, patriotic socie-

Horatio AIaer, Then and Now.

"Tony the Newsboy" was his name
and Horatio A. Alger was his father.
Last Saturday we fGuratively coaxed
Tony from between his frayed covers
in Sunday school library and took
him to the Boston school committee.
He was so pitifully forlorn. all shreds
and CRIME and ashes. that we let him
sit on the floor behind blackboard
where he could see but not be en-
barrassed.

fellows representing over hfty SCHOOLS
here in Boston to elect new board 20
day and we all want to see the best
BOYS win out, no matter what their
color or religion or school is."
Then the balioting started. In Tony's
dav there weren't such things as news
boy republics, and so Tony was aghast
when he saw that the balloting In
cIuded n captain general and general

showed that the trial court for 1911-1a
will consist of Michael Berman, Ab

Riederman, and the general secretary
Joseph Flax.
when the cheering was over we
thought of Tony. But Tony had gone

The Lspublicans are ready to demand
that tie dynasty be brought to a close
and that the rManchus as a class or

On this point compromise event.
ually may be reached, namely, that the
emperor be retained as q Chinaman at

that he will become constitutional mon
arch with regent to be elected by the
people but on an extremely limited

The national congress, If the propo-
sition is accepted, will have its mem

control the imperial finances as well as
the army and navy. Each province.
however, will be autonomous in regard
to its own affairs and will elect its
