BOSTON SEEMS COLDER.
Boston is colder now than II ever
was in the olden days. We used 10

obtained on dark, damp afternoons.
There was nothing like a Tom and
monia, unless II was hot Scotch, and
we knew at least two places whore
they might be obtained.
But Boston Is cold town these
days. We went around to the sites tf
these old places and found them gone
