greeted the Hudson Fulton sightseers arriving
from Brooklyn late yesterday morning at the Park

to few of the passersby that the peder who
just street urchn dressed in rags, really
needed the sum he asked for. and they gave it to
him.
The boy had started his days work with % cents

wholesale supply given for quarter. But none of

looked at the boy for moment. Then he opened
his coat, put his hand in a pocket and brought
forth nice. new badge, brilliant with tinselled
cords and colored trimmings.
In the centre OF the badge pinned the por-
traits OF two men enclrced in a frame of rolled
brass. Pictures of Hudson and Fulton? No. por-
traits OF "Our choice for -" and "Our choice

pedlers formed union. but the badge-decorated
was not asked to join.

too. for every pedler in the attacking army made
grab for the badge. The badge badly torn,
but the pedlers picked UP the remnants and tucked
them away in their trousers.
