what We Are Coming To.

N IS - ~~
A New Yorker-a parson in fact-tells me
= story which has, he thinks, not been in
print.
This isthe story:
A venerable lady from rural paths came
to New York to zee the sights. She was a
snQacious and inauiring person, and while
she was thoroughly stepped in the conservn-
tisnn OF q quite country community she had
made up her mind that when she came to
the city her personal prejudices on the
moral or aesthetic side should not prevent
her from opening her eyes and seeing what
was going on in the world, AZ the world ID
illustrated by New York.
The old Indy said to her niece. whom abe
was to visit during her metropolitan so
ioun: Jennie, l want You TO let me 500 all
the things l never ses up in Briggs June
ton. l wRnter kinder look around md see
how people live and what they do down
hcre, you know. and I want you to take mo
to places and got me around, 40 that I can
kinder size up things when / got back"
Jennie assumed the responsibility implied
BY this request. After trotting the old
lady about the city during the day she took
her on the first evening to honr a talk by
Bob Ingersoll.
The old lady heard Ineersolrs theological
analysis without finohinR. Other people
warmed mp and Rpplaudea and others drew
into their shell %a-Bcowling. But the visitor
from Briggs Junction did not commit her
seIf. She simply said nothing and sawed
wood"
Jennie was q little surprised not to hear

One Of the things that people do who have
plenty of time on their hands is to stroll up
Broadway and study photographs exhlo-
ited in the show windows.

married decayed European counts, and

in her beauty and manages to still have

10 You Treat?

It may as we'll be confessed that tie anti
treating movement, SO far as New York is
concerned, is a complete failure.
Thu movement started out with a certain
lusty aggressiveness. Nobody was to treat
anybody to anything. Primarily nobody
was to treat anybody to anything to drink;
for, said the author of the propaganda with
a wisdom no one theoretically questions, to
treat to drinks is to presume on a similar
privilege and obligation in all the treated,
and the result will be that a man who wishes,
or eight, according to the number in the
treated group. 1t is possible that some
people may have tried to introduce the new
evsry-man-for-himself principle in drink
ing. But the actual instances have never
been satisfactorily located. A strain of
tion a strain of natural cowardice, in every
man, has made it a practical impossi-
biIity to enforce the non-treating code. The
reform had to begin outside the regions Of
conviviality. A good many tried the re-
formed way OF paying. car fare. Dutch
cd. Some people. with what authority
nsvsr discovered, called it the "Philad ell
phia PLAN" Men occasionally went. out to
dinner and instead of paying. on the alter
mating treat plan. paid each for his "
meal. This practice undoubtedly. prevails
y v q CClNNllA CAsCAu AOWs hAN uuNNASVN
people still struggle against conventional
idens of politeness and generosity.
But among the great average the plan
fails. Men and women, especially women,
struggle ridiculously in the horse car be-
fore the plying contemplation of the con-
ductor, who is skeptical enough to believe
that one srson in every pair is secretly
willing to let the other pay, but makes a
show Of getting at the conductor first.
Everybody who thinks is willing to agree
that treating Of any kind, when it does not
shiold hogs or tempt hypocrisy, ia q down
right nuisance. But, all the Same, nine
people out of ten never even question the
ancient m~ethod-hogs. Hypocrisy and all.
Ar for New York, in particular, it has
entered upon the great annual Org Of
treating. For five weeks the Wholesale
treating Of the politicians will liberate
rivers OF beer and lakes of whisky. This il
the saloon keepers'-and particularly the
Observation-Disclosures. One of the taxes on
%candidature is an exorbitant prica for
drinks. No despotism is more complete
than that exerted by the saloon keepers
during the election season. The most
hardened candidate is often staggered by
the lump sum charged for q round" in
some miserable groggery, but he dare not
utter a complaints. II is one of the ameni-
ties of running for Office under our ingenious
political system.

during September nowhere produced q
more curious result than in the prolonged
activities at Coney Island.

Island people, who were, a. you might say,
standing with the closing shutters in the1r
hands, paused in agtonishment, put away
the shutters, brushed up things again, and
have actually been doing SO much more
business during September than anybody
had any right to expect that they are quite
modified in their retrospective glance at
the actual summer season.
Crowds have continued to besige the New

Very Unavoidable.

SIN early days" remarked Mr.. Barnard,
ian old fellow named Bennett came to
Butte county from Kentucky, and when
was boy often heard him tell with all
earnestness IA story that he believed to be
true. He said that when young man he
lived in Virginia, and as stores were scarce
it was customary for farmers to cut scythe
handles from the woods. They would select
a very crooked sapling and trim it up to
suit their purpose. BY some misfortune
he broke scythe handle and went in search
of new one. At last he found little,
weakly tree that was crooked, and in a few
minutes had cut it down and trimmed it
up. When trimmed it was so crooked that
it refused to lie still, and began to roll end
over end
Bennett tried to stop it, but it eluded
him and passed out of sight Twenty
years later he emigrated to Kentucky, and
while out in the woods one day he heard
peculiar noise in the underbrush near him.
Going in the direction from which it came
he discovered the scythe handle, worn
down to one-fourth its original size, still
rolling 1t had crossed the Allegheny
mountains and was on its way toward the
Mississippi river. The old man protested
to the day of his death that the story was
absolutely true, and would grow angry if
any one doubted it."-San Francisco Call.
