The sharpness of wit of the aver
ape 'newsie' is proverbial and the
Alexandria members of that ilk, are
not whit behind their fellows. The
officials of the Norfolk steamers late
ly undertook to prevent the young
sters from selling their newspapers
aboard. Did that phase them? Not
for moment. They simply rugged
up a carrier consisting Of a fourteen
foot pole with a tin can on its end.
With this they raised the papers to
the deck or to the stateroom windows.
It is gratifying to note that their
enterprise has brought the boys
largely additional profits for the rea-
son that admiring passengers have
in many cases paid dimes and nickles
who formerly contributed only pen
nies for their papers.

A Washington youngster, aged
about twelve, started out to see the
world yesterday, via Alexandria. His
only asset, however, was little white
puppy which, in all seriousness, he
offered to the conductor of the car
in exchange for his ride to this city.
The conductor very courteously in
formed the urchin that the company
accepted cash only in exchange for
transportation and the youngster was
left by the roadside not very far from
whence he sarted. 1t was probably
his first lesson that "money talks. 7"
He appeared to think that his little
dog was excellent collateral.
