"Wuxtra! Wuxtra! Paper, sir? To
days news today. Gee. but this Is
sure some town"
Pittsie Ryan, the leather-lunged
globe-trutting newsboy who hales from
Edmonton, liberia, Canada; who has
visited every civilized country on the
globe and who is now on the first
lap of his second z5,000-mile walking
iaunt around the world for which ne
will receive $4,000, is selling Star
Bulletins on the street every after
neon to hep defray the expense OF
the trip, and incidentally becoming
loud In his praises of Honolulu's Gil
mate and Honolulu's people.
Pittsie's first walking trip around
the world was begun in 1905 and conf
pIeted four years later, he receiving
$4,000 for the work, which he invest
ed in zeal estate and cattle in Can
ada. After a tour of the states, he
hobncbbed with the crowned heads OF
Europe and other lands, courted trou-
BILE in the broad domain of the Rus
sian Gar, and finally returned I'M
scathed to Edmonton. But lets let
Pittsie tell his own story.
Eyes, folks, | have been walking
since 1905 and during that time have
covered more than 100000 miles and
visited every civilized country in the
world. But this is the first time that
l have ever been in Honolulu, and
say, why did ever pass 1T up on my
first trip? Since have been here
have visited practically every city ON
cial and obtained their signatures and
seals. / must say that they have all
treated me fine and if it were not for
the hike which | have yet to complete,
/ should be tempted to settle down
here for four or FIVE years, for have
come to like Honolulu and the people
who live here.
Has Sold Papers Everywhere.
What do the newsboys in this city
know about selling papers? Why say,
those kids will sure have to learn
more about selling papers to the diff
ferent types of people if they ever
intend making success of the bust
ness. have noticed from the begin
ming that they rush up and poster the
life out of a person, which is one OF
the first things newsboy must learn
to avoid. If man wants paper he
will buy it from the first boy he sees,
and if he does not, there is little use
of a newsie trying TO force paper
upon him. | wish that ] might stay
in Honolulu longer than | expect to,
for then | would have chance To
teach the boys the fine art OF news
paper selling, and it is some art, be-
lieve met
Ryan has been selling newspapers
for the past twenty-five years in such
cities as San Francisco, New York,
Chicago, London, Paris, Berlin, MOS
COW, Russia; Cape Town, South Afrl
ca; St. Petersburg, Russia, and 10
komo. Indiana. He is selling more
than 200 Star-Bullet;ns on Fort street
each afternoon, and considers the pri
yiIege one of the best additions TO his
already large list Of cities. He IN
tends staying in Honolulu until July
6, and while he is here will give the
people .today's news today in the
Star Bulletin, five cents per copy.
! Il visited Governor ~Frear shortly
after my arrival here" continued Pitt
sic, and consider him as fine MAI
as | have ever met anywhere in my
travels. He placed his signature ane
seal in the book which | always carry
and we conyersed for some time con
corning my past adventures. alsi

assistant. whom | also found TO be i'll
terested in my undertaking. | visited
