I had . great deal Of fun with this
little machine. on the dial Of which you
could ind anything from the morning
paper To . pair Of horses. Yesterday
met Mr.. Herzo looking as well ~ he
did before my attack on him, and ! was
surprised to find at my hotel aud In
many other hotels since. the little ma
chine which | used several years ago in
dusrinx OF the streets.
This shows, - say. the power Of the
press. and how . fearless writer with
good command Of language may often
accomplish great good by attacking .
msrltorious thing.
Whenever l come TO New York. even
for . few weeks, like To fall into the
hands OF an old New Yorker who knows
the ropes. for it gives me . feeling Of
comfort and confidence which nothing
else can- Day before yesterday started
TO go up town with an old resident Of
the city, and - We went mp the elevated
railroad stairs | told him how glad ]
was To be - often a. possible in the
hands Of an old citizen OF the place. for
then did not have to worry over do
ITALIA
Yes" he said. lit must Do . good
deal OF comfort to one who has not al
ways lived in the city to be with ono
who Is perfectly familiar with New
York. a. nothing but time and years can
make one. Now. for instance, the man
from the west o. from the country may
dAttsr himself that he 10 entirely ut
home here after . week or two, and be-
GIN to take IL easy. That is the time he
corks himself. aad the first thing ne does
when he experiences this feeling of false
security 10 to climb the elevated stairs
humming Comrades" softly to himself,
only TO End when he gets here to the
ticket Office ~ We are that he has como
mp those tedious iron stairs on hot dsy
only to know after he has his ticket that
he Ia on the down town side when he
wants 20 go up. or rice rersa. Il is
mighty hum liating and makes him look
pretty foolish. l think. And so-by
thunderi that's Just what we have done
novi II you'll agree not TO say anything
about this will pay for the lunch"
So will not say anything about 1t.
