PARIS STREET HAWKER

Paris, September 90.-(Special9-There is no end to the ingenuity of the Paris street hawler.

 Presently we'll dressed man in the crowd began chaffing the camelot Your books are utter rubbish" he said, and nobody will ever buy them. l really don't see what the police are doing to allow you to offer such rubbish to the public. The man was too well dressed to be en- trely sympathetic to the crowd.
 The "camelot' protested angrily against a bourgeois interfering with his trade. The bourgeois struck the came lot.'' The ''camelot' knocked down the bourgeois, and when he rose to his feet again, insisted on his giving him his card. The crowd cheered, and bought many books out of sympathy for the camelot whom the bourgeois insulted. Half an hour afterwards the 'camelot" and his well dressed antagonist were sit ting at a cafe dividing the spells.

London, September 30.-(SpecialD- Young England appears to be in a state of unrest. The strike of school boys at Llanelly (where riots and shooting oc- cured during the railway strike) was following by boys downing books at Liverpool and Manchester. This week the movement reached London, but in Foxton. Islngtons Fulhum, Hackney and Deptford the enthusiasm has declined, and the spirit of revolt has. apparently been practically suppressed. Other places affected were Hull, Sheffield, Grimsby, Bradford, Ashton -Under-Lyne, Leith.
 The boys readily initiated the. methods of their elders in holding mass meetings and processions and appointing pickets. But the policeman was factor which the little rebels could not face. When one approached they fled around the nearest corners as if for their lives Gen. orally speaking the following were the boys demands. in which for the most part they failed, greatly to their disad- vantages, particularly in the last named

This perturbed the dog. who evidently thought: ''These men may object to my unusual behavior and it is just as likely they may take my adopted child away" :" Soon afterwards the kitten was no longer to be seen among the puppies.
