Sellers. at first sight yesterday as he came up the street with one of those broad smiles that spoke volumes But c: course Charley thought the secret his own and it was one ke couldn't keep from his friends and he told the happy news no less than five hundred times this morning and the cnly reason he didn't tell 1t more was that there was not enough people to tell it to, that a fine big bouncing eight-pound boy came to his home Sun day night and that he was the largest chunk of concentrated sweetness that ever escaped the Pearly gates.
