Early in March the man called on VIM.
Davidson Of this city, ordered a tombstone
for Philip Lefkowit2 of 20 Christie street,
New York, and presented in payment q
check for 800 on the Nassau National
Bank. The check was bogus. and the real
Mr. Davidson was out of pocket by the
transaction. The swindler wanted Mr..
Davidson to give him percentage on the
sale, but this was refused.
Later Mr.. Davidson received flood Of
letters from merchants stating that goods
had been shipped to his place Of business
here and when the checks given for the
merchandise were sent to the Wilmington
banks for collection the facts Of the
swindling operation became known.
Among the persons vctim!zed in this way
was Thomas w, Jones, Of 10 Front street.

purchased weather yane and gave q

WHEN / WAS 4 soy.'


Up IN the attic where slept
When was a boy, little boy,
In through the lattice the moonlight crep4
Bringing tide Of dreams that swept
Over the low red trundle bed,
Bathing the tangled, curly head,
While moonbeams played at hide and seek
With the dimples on the sun Drowned cheek
When was a boy, little boy.
And. oh, the dreams-the dreams deamed
When was a boy, little boy
For the grace that through the lattice streamed
Over my folded eyelids seemed
To have the gift of prophecy
And to bring me glimpses of times to be
When nanhood's clarion seemed to call
All, that was the sweetest dream of all
When was boy, little boyl
I'd like to sleep where used to sleep
When was boy, little boy.
For in at the lattice the moon would peep
Bringing her tide of dreams to sweep
The crosses and griefs Of the years away
From the heart that is weary and faint today
And those dreams should.give me back again
A peace ! have never known since then
When was boy, a little boy.
