Excerpt from Luke Walton or the Chicago Newsboy "News and Mail, one cent each!" Half a dozen Chicago newsboys, varying in age from ten to sixteen years, with piles of papers in their hands, joined in the chorus. They were Sherman House, on the corner of Clark and Randolph Streets, one of the noted buildings in the lake city. On the opposite side of Randolph Street stands a massive but somewhat gloomy stone structure, the Courthouse and City Hall. In the Shadow of these buildings at the corner, Luke Walton, one of the largest newsboys, had posted himself. There was something about his bearing and appearance which distinguished him in a noticeable way from his companions.
