tho most severe March
storm in history—fades
from the memory of the
people. The high spots
that will be remembered
are the deepest March
snow, the tie-up of traf

the heroism with which
i these conditions were met
by workers in the business
and industrial w o r 1 d.
many of whom found
travel “on the hoof’’ the
only available means of
transportation. It was on
Sunday, however, when
these business and indus
trial workers were luxur
ating "in the feathers.’’ or
idling over a late break
fast, that some of the
greatest heroes of the
storm were valiently going
about their duty in spite
of icy winds and driving
snows. The newspaper
carrier boys are not much
concerned with city trans
portation tie-ups. They
do their work afoot any
way, and they are expect
ed to perform their func
tion of distributing news
papers in all weathers ami
under all conditions. Per
haps it is because of their
very faithfulness that so
little attention is paid, as
a rule, to the work they
do. Perhaps if they failed
a little oftener we would
be more inclined to stop
and consider their diffi
culties. That their dif
ficulties were real, you

ready to testify. That

you succeeded or turned

thousands of ear owners wou'd

trust their powerful engines to
combat the force of drifted
snow and raging elements. But
nearly a thousand newsboys in
! Omaha, between the ages of 1?
and IS, left their various sub
stations laden with the heaviest
paper of the week, to face wind
and snow and heart-breaking
cold, to deliver their papers and
keep bright their record for un
broken service. Sometimes
we’re wondered at the great
number of eminently success
ful business men who have
started their business careers as
newsboys. This incident just
ibout explains it. News
boys have a way of doing
what they start out to do. \

where boys became exhausted

they had to perform and how
valiantly they met their respon

its own behalf and in behalf of
the entire community, gives this
appreciation of the splendid
service rendered by these little
heroes of the storm,

Paris. "Caruso and Calve—they re
calved the 'cold potato' when they
first sing. They 'stone' Calve when
she first appear in Europe."
