The range was wide enough to embrace any kind of boy that Avas on the horizon. The wanteds included " a boy," " a strong boy," " a willing boy," " an active boy,'j "an intelligent boy." " a smart boy;" "a, big boy"; "wanted, a small boy " ; "wanted, a useful boy," " a bright boy," and so on. A large number wanted an honest boy, but most of the applicants apparently ■didn't care a cuss so long as they got plain, ordinary two-legged boy.
