and black overcoats, squatted on their
heels on q sunny corner.
ANY other men," continued Holmes,
would stand. They would lean against
the lanppost or the wooden Indian of
the tobacconist. But these men, in the
low galleries or tunnels Of coal mines,
for lack Of space must work seated

comfortable and customary. It Is their
favorite position at all times.
Hence when you see men idling on
their heels on the street corners you
can always set them down as miners.

them IL doubly strong."-Bunalo Ex-
