care not to knock off globes or ornaments.

rhe spectacle of the huge piece OF beef
hanging on the Indian arm created great
amusement among the pedestrians who
passed by the ldelman corner during the
lay, but later when the cowboy who had
become sobered up a little. passed along
IN that vicinity, he would not look in that
direction at all and was apparently anx
