Copyright. 1895. by Joseph B. Bowlea,
Some years ago while was staying
at small town in Michigan, large
man travelling with his wife and young
son in a fine carriage, took quarters at
the hotel.
During the several weeks he was
there, I never saw him speak dozen
words to anyone, although he was
constantly in the hotel Office.
He smoked the choicest cigars, and
several of them a day. Should the
landlord or any of the guests address
him, they would be rewarded by .
mere grunt or monosyllable, and his
wife was equally reticent. Whether
he was a grand duke in disguise, q
horse thief or q bank robber, no one
was able to guess.
Every afternoon his handsome team
and carriage were brought to the hotel
entrance, and he and his family would
take a long ride into the country.
After the silent man had been there
just a week two strapping big men
called to see him Saturday evening
and remained until Monday morning.
Each carried what they called Pat
emit Clothes Founder and Cleanser"

shall call him.
The scheme was worked as follows:
Two farmers, who were brothers-in-law,
were selected as dupes- One OF them
owned 100 acres of farm land, with
new house and barn, and the other
100 acres upon which were a CON-
Portable house and barn. One lived
west of the town and the other east.
One of the canvassers arranged with
one of these farmers for board, while
the other canvasser made his head
quarters with the other farmer. Once
settled one of them negotiated with his
landlord for the services OF his son
and a horse and buggy with which to
canvass, while the other made similar
ARRANGEMENTS with the son OF a near
neighbor of the farmer who boarded
him. !.

DEEP INJUSTICE TO BOSTON
Real Size of the City Is Misrepre-
sented by Figures Of the
Census.

The census figures just published
show a population for Boston OF $685.
sos. But what Boston? Not the Bos-
ton comprised in the metropolitan wa
ter system, or the metropolitan sewer
age system, or the metropolitan park
system. 1t is obviously only the Bos-
ton that sleeps here O. nights, says
the Globe.
The city of London shows popu'
lation of $1,000. But what London 10
that? It is q small, circumscribed area
that nobody ever thinks of as the real
Lor don that spreads its great body out
over so many districts. Speaking in
these narrow terms, Boston Is much
more than 20 times larger than Lon
don.
All other great American cities show
figures of population which are real.
Boston alone shows figures which do
not represent by half her real popula'
ton. Practically no Chicagoans live
outside of Chicago, no Philadelphians
outside of Philadelphia, no st. Loulsi
ans outside of st. Louis, and New York
has gathered in substantially all lser
people save those that sleep in New
Jersey.
The cities and towns comprising ths
metropolitan district, or, as 1t Is often
called. Greater Boston, show very large
gains in the census figures, and give
population Of nearly a million and
quarter. which very properly may u
accepted as the real population of TIL
real Boston.
