The boys gave Mr.. and Mrs E.
G. Walls a calithumpian racket on
Monday night that seemed to af-
ford them enjoyment, as making a
noise always does, but Mr.. Walls
had made up his mind not to come
out, and even the hoarse voice of

the cities, and it is being auction
ed off at the Producers Exchange,
the members of which are mostly
commission men, at from z to 8
