Get out OF that, you stupid toys!
Don't you know that those berries are
poisonous ?"
Those are tae words which NJ. Dell, Of
John X. & A. Murdoch's flower store
shouted to a lot of street utchins yesterday
afternoon, who had bsen picking the red
fruit from some holly bushes that were dis
played on the pavement.
~ have been standing here during the
last hslf hour, nsgiectiog my business in
side, simply to prevent these youngsters
from killing themselves" he added.
"Well, are those berries really poison
ous?"
Yes, they are, although LIDO not think
that they would do any fatal harm. But
there, look at that boy over against the
lamp-pOst at the city hall! The boy has
been stealing bsEries here nearly the whole
day, and now he has got q very bad stom-
ach. J1st look the way he is creeping
along. | guess l had better take the ber-
RIGS N, for fear that all the news boys in
town may get sick, and that would be a
calamity, especially if an extra were TO
come Out.
