the first glance it seems just large

that ! am back again to ordinary city

Inside of the newly built structure is
another building somewhat after the

in this case is the former Hecht home,
but it has yavned and yawned until it
spreads out over the slopins lawns to
the edges Of the sidewalks on three
sides of the block.
The darky, whose familiar figure
might serve as a model for pictures of
Uncle Sam, is standing at the entrance
as he used to do on Market street, and
is rhythmically folding his tall lean

1oorwaIkers are directing patrons to
the different departments with the
manners of Lord Chesterfield and su-
perintending the busy clerks, ignoring
the fact that the wells are virgin of
paint or that the floors are rough pine
boards Even the parcels are being
sent up to the wrappers by the over
head trolley system. although like the
United Railroads, there is often a
blockade on the line that necessitates

my curiosity there, although woman

Post street is having her nails mani

the library door, and the rattle of
dishes that steals through it and the
appetzing odor of luncheon that es-

for books, has been substituted for the
