members performed a play which evinced some local talent Physiologists have heretofore claimec that the brain was of per forming one thing at a time but there is more room for argument since our estimable agent has in the pres ence of reliable witnesses performed the wonderful feat of receiving an important message of not less than twenty words also writing an express money order anc carrying on a conversation on a different subject all at the same time Shrewdness of the Newsboy The newsboy is a grade above the ordinary gamin he frequently comes from better stock and is under more restraining influences He is more intelligent and I almost feel constrained to say more unscrupulous He has facility of expression though it may lack correctness he is posted upon current events he has opinions formulates theories encourages expectations He is generous he likes a good feed he is ready to help a chum he hates shams he indulge in make believes he is sure of the past he is confident of the present he trouble himself much about the future I He is shrewd wary artful he is quick at resentment and sharp in repartee At one time I had a weakness for chaffing newsboys but 1 chaff them now I generally came out second best in the encounters Out of many instances I can recall two in which I was left three or four laps behind On one occasion I gave a newsboy a bright new cent for a paper made that I said He shot me a swift glance and replid: you look like a counterfeiter On another occasion I said to one of them: do you know how you can sell twice as many he asked with keen interest -keeping your face I said he ejaculated with a scornful deliberate survey of me mv face as hairy as yours I reckon it matter much whether it was clean or in Philadelphia Call ALSO
