A Boston physician tells Of a Doctor
Reed who, in his time, was one of the
prominent medicos of the Hub. His
large practice included many patients
outside the city limits, and these he
visited in his buggy.
One day Doctor Reed bought new
horse, with which he was much
pleased until he discovered that the
animal had an insurmountable Objec.

not be made to cross one.

necessary to cross certain bridges in

As buyer for his firm he had author

chose and if he wanted to spend it
making a corner in flags that was
his business. He imagined that there
would be a big demand for flags, but
even if there were not, he figured, flags
were not likely to go out of fashion,
