saw one of these Insects knocked down
In a veranda where It had been doing
yeoman's tervice and the children and
women teemed delighted although
they shrank bark from the poor. wound-

an awful ttlng at th end of It long

writer took the Insect up there wa
general wonderment which waa In-

No le a peron that Master Thomas
Martin. a 7-yeo.r-old newsboy. And
here I the tory. Two yar ago or
when Tommy wa a S-year-old toddler
ha began the work of telling news-
paper. In orde-r to help tupvort hi

Tommy live In th city of Topcka.
which aa you know it the capital of
Kanaaa. When the bglalature waa In

wayi eager tu get the evening paper
a toon aa ley cam out So all the
new-ihoy eorirregned around the
newspaper office to get coplea at toon
at they were ready. Th moment they
were supplied there wat a breakaway
and a race for the atate bouse. Now.
all the newateoye were older and blgrer
and had lnng.r srtronrer leg than I't-
tle Thomas. So he always cam In
breathless at the end of the line to
find that nearly all the anatora and
congressmen had IWn supplied.
It happened one ralr.y afternoon that
Mr. Ieeiiy who was then not governor
but a senator was wtl'xlng toward the
tut house when he saw the gather-
ing of boy the Bidden break and the
unequal race In which Tommy came
out a bad last. He followed and over
took the cIM. Just a he had reached
th ttate house. Tlio mas was out of
breath and the other boy were out of
tight.
"Where did the other boyt fro?"
aked the oenator.
"They beat me." aald Thnmaa. with
a :nile for though bssa'en he could
keep up a etout heart. "lon't you
want to buy a pa;cr?"
"Ys but what made you b-t the
boys run away from you?"
"Well. I ri's my le- weren't long

"All right." repllej the aerator
now If you won t nuke any iml. e I'll
take you up In the sena:e chamber and
we'll see If we can't sell the rt of
your paper. That will make your legs

"Thank you. air."
"Isn't thlt a pretty b;d day for you
lo be out?"
"Oh. a butlnesa man can't stop for

Thomwa rewllly dlspceced 0f his
papers when he wit ushered Into the
senate chamber. Then he come round
to where Senatoe Le.ly eat and thank-
ed him agala for hit kindliest.
"Now. ae-e here." aald the senator "If
you will be a quiet aa you were tolay
and move about with at little noise I
will eee If I csn't git you In here every

In fart. Mr. Iedy made It hla busi-

senators and ask their consent to the
new arrangement. He explained that

mission of newaboya Into the aenate

all to much bigger than Thoma and

the best way to stretch Thorn' leg
to the right sire was to let him In every

He found no riifflculty in winning
