Half way between Providence and Boston
for Boston is a long ways from I'r0lde1ce
AS we were riding in a car, still small

lie appeared demoralized He said we
must hear the big organ before we left
Boston.
We went 10 hear the big organ. 1t is
held in several buildings. 1t is one size
larger than Boston.
Boston is the hub around which the organ
reVolves.
The organ is a re rolver.
Like the organ, this is big play on
words.
People in New York and Buffalo hear the
organ.
Il is used in Mass
1t has a sort Of long island sound

big organ.
That is when the niger is out so they can
not 20 through him.
There are but few gambling houses in
Boston. No such fellows are around that
hub.
They don't play "straits" in Boston. Not
in the streets.
Harvard College is just beyond the reach
Of the big organ.
Cambridge University is always in season.
II is a law school. The pleading is done at
the bar Of the Parker House.
The studies at Cambridge are said TO be
very dry. The studies affect the pupils.
Pleading at the bar affects them likewise
or more like than wise.
No one ever gets lost in Boston. The
city is 80 well organized. Like the big Or
gan, Boston has numerous stops Some Of
the streets are nearly az a fish pole. But
not so long as Folks message. If a man
don't like one street in Boston, il is easy TO
get on another.
After four days trial we could 90 from the
Parker House 20 the City Hall without get
ting lost This is a fact And in five
days we learned the routesfrom SCoLLAY's
Building 20 Engine-house No. 4.
The business blocks in Boston are in shape
like Norwegian shoes.
The streets of Boston are like hop-polcs
struck by lightning, Some Of them are so
wide that COW could be MIXED in them by
turning her on her back and sitting astride
~her brisket.
Small horses are driven abreast-large
horses tandem, in Boston. The fat woman
was exhibited there onoe-in the big organ.
Boston streets are not so crooked as they
- I. -.
straight Very clean is Boston. If lady
drops pin from her clothes policeman
makes her pick itup. If n man shoots an
apple-seed out of a grocery he is fined Bos-
ton is very neat-especially near the big or
gan, and cradle ofliberty. If man drops
a remark, he is made 10 pick it up. And
Boston people are so modest They under
rate themselves terribly.
The streets of Boston must have been
thrown in at the time Of some big fire. They
are so regular. If you would find any place,
start in an opposite direction. If you see a
policeman coming toward yOu, he is going
the other way. If he runs from you, he'll
he where you are in no time. Up hill is
down, and cover there is ''back here"
One day we started from the office Of the
Boston Post TO the Boston post-ofiice, seventy
feet distant We walked straight ahead
went around seven blocks, saw policeman
standing in a doorway on each block
asked each one the route to the post-ofice.
Saw the eighth policeman-aslse him po-
Iitely Said he: "Look here, this is the
eighth time you've asked me that question

Thought the policemen must be brothers
they looked so much alike! Rather than
20 around the block again we went 'tother
way, began TO unwind, and got into the post
office by mistake The front Of the build
ing is inside-in the courts
Except the big organ and tie cradle
BEN. BUTLER spoke while we were there
ON the restoration policy.
Went 20 his meeting, expecting to see him
giving back silverware and other valuables.
Was mistaken. That kind of restoration
was not policy
House rents are cheap in Boston. Moving
is cheaper than house rent. It's all owing
to the hub-the big organ and the cradle.
There is no drinking i'm Boston. No pc
culiar female characters. What is common
IL not peculiar.
New Bedford is TO be moved into Boston
soon. BY legislative enactment the mumps
are 10 be confined 10 the Democrats; the
cholera is 20 trouble only foreigners; the
chicken-pox is TO be confined 30 old hens
nggers are TO have straight hair TO disgrace
them, and the whites are 10 have curly wool
ON their Uranium 10 make them popular in
Boston. Not forgetting the big organ and
the cradle of Boston.
New York is in the watch fob, the South
in the brooches pocket and the West but
tons on the tail of the coat Of Boston.
The sun rises in Boston-ihe final ceH-
Migration Of mundane things will begin in
Boston, on account of the big organ and the
cradle. Boston would have been laid out
more regularly if the dogs of olden times
had been pointers or the COWS had walked in
more direct paths. Therefore We see many
calves in Boston So much for fitting hoops. |
A good place TO move from, if one moves |
early.
From the cradle TO the big organ,
