Views of Boston.

Boston is rich with its colonial his
tory. and the old soldiers were made 10
feel that they had the freedom Of the
city. We We're especially impressed
with the cemeteries. many OF which
contained tombs dating back TO the year
1852.
The grave of Paul Revere is made
conspicuous by the simplicity Of the in
scription upon the modest headstone
that marks the resting place or the
hero Of that midnight ride. It IS in
scribed with the words:
Paul Revere Born January, 1884,
died May. 1915
