And in the morning he awoke and took drink
Then he went to the Office OF !. certain man called

When suddenly the same flew uPen and there cana
forth at great speed asHu boy With his hand full IT
papers on which were certain strange figures. And
the small boy ran against the man from Ohio with
gTent force, hitting him below thAt place ~hchta
called the belt Then sped the small boy swiftly
IN aey, and the man from Ohio would fain hasa
called him but could not, being sore OF body and
out OF that which Is called wind.
So therefore, went he quickly into the Office Of hin!
who called Broker, lest another settlement clerk
come suddenly forth and snli1e him again.
Being therefore In the place he did seat himself ia
chair OF exceeding softness and beauty. and spas
with grca. speed and precision crack In the door
that the office boy Was deceived and said Unto
himself, "rh!s man is 4 Granger
And when the clock had struck the eleventh hour th9
man called Broker entered into the Office and sat

And when the Broker had said !" How do?" to ths
stranger within his gates he lighted cigar and ssl
"tIave smoker" -!
And they smoked
Then spake the Broker again, saying: "'Spose Ha
snile:" And the from Ohio giac at heart
for the customs OF Chicago not like unto those
Of Cincinnati, IN which place IS Of frugal
disposition and buyesh not the drinks OF bis neghoo
or Of the stranger who sttteth within his gates
So therefore went these two forth into alIer, at
the end OF which were situated TWO places Ut which
the bbbers OF the city did congregnte, one be-"
ing called Chuptnandgore. and the other Jakewo~
ford's. And when the Broker and the man from Ohio
had entered of these y lnces they found other
Brokers who leaned against the place called Bar.
And TO them epake man who had on his breast
precious stones and whose hair was auoi0ted 3nd
pasted down in scailops saying:
"Whatlt,tbeGentsT'
And the uroker answered, saying:
"Stzaghtformemikc.'
But the ohio thought of the wife and children
he had left behind Ia his land, and his heart
softenea, and he said: Observation-Disclosures

And they drank
