Six year old Danny Boutz, son of Mrs. Amelia Boutz of 106 Hartford i avenue, may have the makings of a financier in him, but if these ten. dencies keep manifesting themselves as they did vesterday when he sold the family washing to a rag picker for six cents his" fond parent has no desire to faster the germ of ‘“getting rich quick.” Danny felt like a rich man yes- terday and his six cents seemed like a fortune to him. He proudly boast- ed that he had sold a “lot of old rags to a rag picker with a push cart’ 'and had received the coin in payment thereof. Investigation an the part of Mrs. Bautz disclosed the fact that her young hopeful had taken the family washing, which had been wrapped up in a big bundle, and sold it to the push cart man. Then there was war in the Boutz family. Danny tried to tell who the purchaser was, but the latter, appreciating the bargain, refused to give back or sell out his purchase. This maorning the angry parent brought the matter to the at- tention of Detective Sergeant Bam- forth.
