A Boy and a Suit of Clothes.

One of the happiest boys in Washington
yesterday was Carroll Barrock, who lives at
212 Thirteen-and-a-half street southwest. The
reason why Carroll is so happy is that his
parents have the good sense to subscribe to
THE TINES, and yesterday when their paper
was left at their house they were glad to see
that art supplement No. IS, ,9O2, which had
come with their paper on Sunday, would be
exchanged by M. Kaufman, Eighth and I
streets southeast, for child's suit. So yes
terday morning Carroll went TO Mr.. Kauf-
mans store and was made happy by having
his art supplement exchanged for rs pretty a
suit as any boy in the city of Washington
wears. But this was not all. Carrolrs ioy
was still further increased by Mr.. Kaufman
giving him a blackboard. one of which he pre-
sents to those of his customers purchasing
goods to a certain amount Carroll went
away delighted, and his parents think that it
pays them to subscribe to THE TIMES.
That's what other people think, too It
pays to be TIMES reader.
