There was political meeting In the
neighborho0d and the writer asked the
Boston man 20 so there with him and do
some more back-reading. AT this meeting
Teddy Roosevelt the police commissioner,
and DR. Parkhurst were both billed 10
speak and the latter was addressing the
crowd when the hall was reached. Unfor-
tunately the Boston man had seen both
of them before and Of course was well mp
on their peculiar characteristics But he
had never tried TO read their backs before
and he said he would take advantage OF

"The cut of his coat indicates that he is
something of a swell, but the careless
way he wears it makes IT clear that he
is a man of the world. He has big shoui-

that the owner has high opinion OF
