many of her neighbors sons and she thought that its close would make one the less dan ger for her sons But Mr was conservative and quiet on the matter He owned sever al blocks of buildings and feared the rents might be disturbed he did not see where the taxes were to be raised if people shut up the taverns and so lost the license money and he had friends in the business besides Mrs B had never openly asked her hus band about the matter as saw he was thinking end did not care to go too fast was pained as now and then she say something I about this and going too once in a while he gets full
