an entertainment which consisted of a large number of moving pictures. These proved of much interest te the children. They consisted of moving and stereopticon pictures illustra ting many scenes from various countries, the meaning of which he explained as the various pictures were shown.
 Talent and Steam.
 Noodles is a picturesque and ein- pnatlc object lesson. He is a living reminder that there are few remark able performances in which steam iR not I5 per cent. of the miracle.
 Every newsboy wishes he could sell more papers than any other boy livery physician wishes for the best and biggest practice in town. So does every lawyer. Every merchant wishes he had the finest store and the largest trade in his line. All clerks in the offices would like to be regarded as the most efficient in the business. Hardly any workman that wouldn't be pleased If he could have the reputation of be- ing the smartest man in his craft, de- cfares Major Cook, the famous .eultor of the Washington Star.
 But 90 men and boys in a hundred never open the throttle of their phy- sical and mental machinery on the proposition.
 They rely on natural talent-and every boy thinks he has talent if he only had a chance-and good luck.
 Most men go through life waiting for something to turn up, and finally noth- ing turns up but their toes
 The determination to excel is 75 per cent. of success. Noodles was q very keen. smart boy, with a gift. or knack. but if he hadn't been determined to be the champion newsfe he wouldn't be travelling over the country doing pie turesque stunts today.
 Noodles got up steam and turned it on, therefore Noodles.
 He used both the 25 per cent.-the talent-and the 75 per cent.-the steam and got 100 per cent. in results in his business, which happened to be selling papers,
 Suppose that Noodles had not pos sessed the natural talent. but had used the 15 per cent.
 He would not, in that case, have at- tained the 100 per cent. in results. but he would have beaten the average 0 whole lot.
 A man is a locomotive
 The man, like the machine, won't move no matter how fine he is no matter how perfect. without steam. And he moves according to the force of the steam.
 faster, with all the steam il can stand. than the fastest locomotive under weak pressure.
 Here's a secret. young man: Most men fail to amount to anything in particular just because they're doing just as you're doing: that is. having steam up. but not turning it on. Turn it on, boys, and you'll leave them far behind.
 Rules for the Boys.
 Noodles gives the boys a heart to heart talk on how to be successful newsboy. Here are some Of his tabloid rules for success:
 Be on time.
 Re polite.
 Keep clean.
 Don't smoke.
 Don't drink.
 Always smile.
 or course. these rules are just as good for other boys as they are for newsies. Noodles didn't say so, though. because his talk was exclusively for the young street merchants of Nor wich.
 The Bulletin ave theater. party at the Auditorium Wedn esday night and when Noodles arrived the street was blocked with newsies. Here he is, that's hin1i' cried chorus of young sters, as the smiling face of Noodles appeared, and a general rush was made for the popular idol of all new sies. It looked like a riot. To any one but Noodles 1t would have seemed impossible to get anything like order out of that riot of young humanity. But not so with Noodles. He raised his hands, and almost instantly order was DAstored. Then the boys were told te form in lire and the cheering com menced. Noodles is an ideal cheer master, and the way in which he led the youngsters was a marvel to all. Again and again the lads eheered. They had a big time.
 Buster and Mary Pagan, Noodles twins. will have a party on the stage of the Auditorium Saturday afternoon ed and candy will be given the chil- dren.
