there are not many people in the big

Speaker Reed down to laborers who
scrub the floors after every one else goes

become acquainted.

he shouted, as he rushed into the house
postoffice the other day.

'tOh, you know,' said little Champ,
with contemptuous wave of his hand.

The place where little Champ delights
to go is the house stationery room. The
rows Of pearl handled knives, the silver

ment to the little lad, and the clerks

coffee was introduced, but apart from
Constantinople the first coffee cups in

and 1904 in Leipsic. From the first,
however, the conventional oriental cof-

There may be floating in the pool n

swim under this and raise it ON the tins

the agitation of the Yater caused by the
seals motions. and 5he seal swings its
