Show TOO MUCH FOR THE POLICEMAN. He Had But Dim Ideas of Symbols In Public Library. Aunt Sally Freeman's education had not been forced, and when sho was on her first visit to Boon, a short tlmo ago, and was shown tho sights, the public library was not overlooked. Just Inside tho entrance sho spied tho bra .3 figures of crabs, fishes, bull, etc.. In tho floor. After looking them over for a few moments, sho asked the policeman po-liceman on duty why they were put there. "Well, madam," he replied, "when I first came hero and saw them, I thought the must have been sent by tho meat and fish handlers' union, but I hear that they call it the sign of tho Soda Act. What that token is I don't know, but thoy have ono liko it in Washington that they use In making up weather reports, though how thoy do it beats me." Boston Herald. |
