A NICE trick has been played upon
Boston. On the granite tablets placed
in one corner of it's splendid new public
library building a series of names of
men of ancient fame has been chiseled.
They are good names though oddly
grouped. Some one has just discovered
that they form an acrostic spelling the
name of the firm of architects who
planned the building, The trustees
will have them erased and the names
used in their chronological order.

shore fruit belt will require millions of
baskets this season, and the present
outlook is that the growers will be able
to purchase them at about half the usu-

facturers are at war and the price has
already declined to SIS per thousand for
''fifths," which to the deluded buyers
of fruit means a peck basket.
