The UNION Office is proud in the possession
of an exceedingly bright "devil," who witnessed
the Inauguration on Wednesday, and will
ing to wager that no fellow in Washington on that
day saw more than he did. In fact he saw it all,

may not be out of place to remark that this boy
expects to be President himself one of these fine
days.

was in Washington for the first time on Wednes-

/ reckon it's nice place, but 1 couldn't see the
darned thing for the people," This was literally
true in the case of the Towsontown man. He said
he didn't believe that there were SO many people
in the world.
