one of the numerous small BOYS who
sell postal card pictures of the Holy
city. He held out a sheaf Of postal
cards and offered them for sale. stat.

leans did not care to buy, and, like
his guild the continent over, he fol-

nuisance. But he was such a merry

could be firmly screwed home. causing
the entire charge to explode back into
the turret, Cron!n shouted an order
which stopped every man in the turret
as he stood except the man who was
closing the breech. He did not hear
the shout and continued to screw the
block home. Lieutenant Cronin

Is that when Congress was no warmly
