an alley that had started out to be a

and never gone any further-lived a
shabby old man, called by his neighbo-s
"Mr. Waste Paper" and BY rude boys and
girls of the neighborhocd tod Miser"
and "Queer Eyes"
He bought and SOLD waste paper, and
all the four rooms in his house he was
the only one in the street that occupied a
whole house and was looked upon with
great respect on that account-in fact,

would have been aWaste Paper Jonn,' y

a deep drift like snow lay upon the
floors of the two other rooms, and hun
dreds Of books from which the covers
had departed forever, old magazines,
used up ledgers, torn hand bills and cir
culars, were stacked along the walls, and
in the fourth room, where the old man
ate and slept, all the furniture, with the
exception Of q tiny stove, gridiron, a
saucepan, and tea-kettle; was made Of

ture from facts and made it clear that no pledges
