to display them in all their splendor In
the crowd within the fire lines were seen

curb brokers has had a hard time in the
sleet storms This boy has a fair-sized
school slate on which he marks quotations
in chalk as they are made, holding the
slate up so that man with pair OF field
glasses in the window Of a nearby brokers'
Office may read them.
When he held his slate up during the

had forgotten TO stamp the envelope. so
he wrote to the postmaster in Boston tell
ing him about it and enclosing stamp.
The postmaster had meanwhile sent
