OF II, stopped in a very nice and clean
bakery To inquire.
"A very polite proprietor said he
didn't know just where II was, but he
would look 1t up In the telephone book.

over the book. But he could not find
1t and at last asked me to help him In
his search.
81 was glad enough to do so and went
at once to the page where he was run
ming his finger up the column. And
what do you think found? No Schuy-
Ter, l assure you, for he was looking

II like New York newsboys," said the
man who buys his papers on the street,

Gen. Sickles had done. but what struck
me moro was that Gen. Sickles had
killed the son of the man who wrote
tho words of tho hymn and gave II It's
