Through ths generosity of H. A.
Wroe of the American National bank
fifty newsboys of Austin were made
glad last night at a banquet at the
Driskill hotel.
And it was a sure-enough ban-
quet—one that grown-ups would
have enjoyed
There were after-dinner talks and
songs by the "newsies" not only in-
teresting but refreshing.
Lots of after-dinner speakers in
Texas could not have held the at-
tention better or even as well as the
boy speakers did.
An Annual Affair.
The dinner was an annual affair.
Every year when the spirit of
Christmas comes Mr. Wroe feels that
someone should entertain the news-
boys and messenger boys who de-
liver the papers and take the tele-
grams to the telegraph office.
Ii is simply an expression of big
brother sympathy—that bond of feel-

the municipal organ recital idea, giv-

He explained that Mr. Pomeroy
came to him some time ago and said
he would like to contribute to the Joy
and pleasure of Austin people, and
offered to give a serles of concerts in
the different churches of Austin
where thero were suitable organs
available
"I do not know of anything,” said
Mayor Wooldridge, "more generous
than this musician has offered, in a

thank him now and publicly.

to the program, though there was no
applause. t h e audience seeming to
have some sort of an idea it mighi

but the undoubted pleasure that the

proof sufficieat that Mr. Pomeroy is
doing his full part in the community
life of Austin.

father. For fitty years this well-
known cough and cold remedy has
kept an ever growing army of friends,

They had the pep. just the sort
that put the boys "over the top” and
help make the world safely demo-
cratic.
Have the Penntes.
Two years ago Mr. Wroe began
an era among Austin newsboys.
At his banquet he gave each boy
a savings bank. worth a dollar.
The boy was to save his pennies
and his neekels.
At the end of a certain time, if he
had saved a certain amount, Mr.
Wroe proposed to add another dona-
tion to it.
The "Kirby Dollar.**
But last night f was Harper
Kirby who gave the dollar, with the
understanding that each boy was to
leing English.
Mv, Wroe Veas Absent.
It was a genuine source of regret
that Mr. Wroe, on account of busi-
ness engagements, was unable to be
present.
And it was genuine regret.
It was depicted on every face—
mo mentally casting a shadow across
each smiling countenance.
fyman J. Bailey acted as toastmas-
ter.
He admitted there were boys
present who "could beat me all hol-
ler.” but he having charge of the
banqeut, had been requested to act.
In the absence of Mr. Wroe, Lieu-
tenant Colonel Sullivan of the Nev-
enth Texas cavalry told the boys
something about camp life. and said
the best soldiers usuily came from
the ranks of the "newstes" and the
messenger boys because they were
resourceful and could always be de-
nended upon.
