Show SlB5titites ake veiy accpt.ible in innumerable inst.inci.s lluU tlie reader read-er will readily imagine; but it was lelt for Boston to adopt a system ot substitution sub-stitution as unique as it was oiiginal. It has just "leaked out" that the liquor-dealers of the "Hub" have for a long time been in the habit of .serving .serv-ing out terms in prison by proxy; the substitute making profitable little thing out of the affair, and the original origi-nal balancing accounts by extra margins mar-gins on his whiskies. Only a denizen of aesthetic Boston could oiiinate so delightful a system; and it is sad tv know that the joke has beeu discovered, discover-ed, and that substitute convicts will no lunger "pass" in Xew England! |
