"Postoffice thieves are not arrested

of guilt must be in the possession of

sometimes happens that an inspector
may not be able to prove a man

From one point OF view 1t Is won

There is one of Fulton. who is seated

of Frances Willard in a basque and

slightest resemblance to that dainty
sweet-faced woman. There Is a statue
of Phil Kearny in bronze. which IL
