Howe, the great Tombs lawyer, was
supposed to be doing one Of the most

fees; seldom last long. Nine out of ten
of the liquor men fail, though the COM

immense. I was in a leading restaurant
recently; ;Tsands was told that the checks
showed that four hundred and fifty dol
lars were taken at the bar the day before:
Yet every man who has kept that hotel
has failed except the present proprietor,
who has not been there long enough to
give the thing fair trial: 1t is the same
thing with the politicians who hang
around the city hall. = 80
