Prom ths Boston Travele-.
A young man. apparently as intelligent

somewhat as follows:

Of camel drivers in loading. The rates
charged for carrying freight across the
desert vary with conditions, being lowest
when cameIs are cheap. labor and pasture

numerous. For a common burden camel
$50 is a fair price. though the trotters or
