The Newsy and the Tramp

The small newsboy comes as a reforming force into the tramp's life. After protecting him from the designs of other tramps, the tramp obtains a position at a blacksmith's, and sends the boy to school. The boy becomes the teacher's champion. He introduces her to the reformed tramp, who becomes her pupil. In the last scene - a clever and humorous concert - the boy starts a love affair with a sly 'kiss her' on the blackboard when her back is turned. Then the man apparently begins to wake up, and the rest is left to the imagination of the spectator, which shows rare art and discretion for a present day picture.
