A boy stood In front OF the court

as the morning rush-hour crowd
streamed by on its way into the finan-

He looked TO be about 20, was neat

faded brown overcoat was a sign,
crudely printed on sheet OF paper.
II read:

myself to get employment from some
one desiring the services of capable.

cop chased him away for collecting a
