dcr-A Generous Board Of Directors.
The bleak winds sweeping through Judiciary
square and cutting around the courthouse yos-
terdsy ratified the windows and made the In
mates Of the building hug about the heaters to
keep comfortable. The attorneys fastened IN
with high.colored cheeks, disheveled hair and
reddish noses, indicating that Old Boreas without
was holding high carnival and trying to exercise
undisputed control Of the streets. Looking
through I've windows on tho south si'e, wNrre
the certre nf tho building IS projected by the two
wing, arA the sunsbire is n warm and welcome
visitor, could be seen curious sight. In the
corners and recesses beyond the vsitatiOns of the
wind could be seen numbers Of colored Arabs, hud-
died together, apparently perfectly comfortable
in their sup.toasting and Indifferent to the out
side world.
They asnused themselves in I collecting the
"stokeys" tat the lawyers cast aside on entering
the building, and smoking out the unfinished
cigars, at the same timo they would comment on
the superier brand used by one attorney over that
smoked by another. Day sftsr day the same
fices may he Teen IN these sunny corners, their
owners bringing thcm early In the mornIng and
rever departing until all Prospscts OF getting q
