BOSTON

Boston is slightly congested por-
ton Of Massachusetts,, containing
100000 mortals and several thou
sands of the early colonial governors.
1t is the fifth city in size in the Unit
ed States. and as soon as it has in
creased its membership limit by
taking in Cambridge, Somerville
and BrookIine, which hedge it in on
all sides, it will have million PEG
pie, and citizens of St. Louis will ex-
pire from envy, in heaps.
Boston is small city in area, but
emits vast amount of intellectual
atmosphere, being full of universi-
ties, institutions and high brow gym
nasi ia of all sorts. This causes it to
look coIdly on the rude West and
it's people. never weary of express
ing in the most beautiful solid ma
hogany language their entire con-
tent with Boston. If man hasn't
a string of degrees after his name,
which looks like the tail of kite, he
is received coldly in Boston, and is
compelled to help govern the city
for living Boston is run in the
same old familiar way, and the third
degree is the only degree with which
its politicians are familiar.
Boston has other peculiar prldes,
too. A Boston man never lows his
Visitors around to see twenty story

brary and its ornamental river banks,
its old churches and its graveyards,
! and it's history. Boston is so full OF
history that parts of the city are al
most paved with brass memorial
plates, while its graveyards are full
of famous old patriots, and the new
conner who is not related to some
prominent tombstone stands poor
chance indeed.
Boston abounds in chimney pots
ivy, street cars, spectacles, hallowee
soil and old residences which are
