thing for him to charge from five TO ten dol

his thumbs for the want Of other occupa-

not loose less than eighty thousand dollars

ran up as high as fifty cents for a saucer of
ice cream, would now like to sell his stand
at a sum that would be five thousand dol
lars less than what he paid for the privilege.

nation for all time "a come. Then he read
the law he referred to, which was the law

In prosecutions, and compelling them to

laws in futherance Of the ends Of public JUS
