but don't ialk about hard times.
II any Of the young athletes up your
way are spoihng for 6ght. tell them not
to go to Montana or Canada, or the
North Pole. Come to New York. it is

long since we looked upon the whole of
the buffing crew as about on level with

hardly got on shore before he rushed up
to see the pictures. and it is quite pos
