There isl said the man from Bos-

Boston. He is man now 43 years of
age, and he has never been away from
Boston. In early life he developed
strong tendency for travel, and with
this end in view he would plan trip
four months ahead to Norway. Then
ne would go to the Boston atheneum
and look up data relating to Norway in
three languages and then for four
months he would saturate himself with
Norway until it came time to CO. Then
he would argue that it was useless to
go to the trouble and expense of going
to place about which he knew so
much and he would set about plan
ming another trip with the same re-
suits. AS he not only read all the
books relating to the spots to which
he intended to go, but carried on
voluminous correspondence with trav-
elers, geographical societies and ex-
plorers throughout the world, he has
collected perfect encyclopedia of in
formation about countries other than
his own. Mentally he has traversed
the habitable globe, yet physically he
has never been outside of Boston.

He corrected him as to the proper price
to be paid beaters, and as to the right
kind of rifle to use and then said that
