RALPH D. PAINE made a name
for himself as a war corre

war and the Boxer uprising. but it's

1890 s. One day he turned in a story
about a certain Pierre Grantaire.

After the story was printed, hope

"bargain" it is. Not even the fact
that it is “one of the tew papers
containing the autograph of Indian
King Phillip and especially fine
autographs of Cotton Mather. In

Gov. William Phipps" should influ

it difiiculttor them to be signing any
kind of document in 1692. Usually
there's a typewritten card with this
“rare old document." saying that
it “has been pronounced genuine by
the Massachusetts Historical soci

doesn't mean a thing, except that
